“A unhappy surprise on the bill”

No problem with the food, very reasonably priced Mexican food with a great atmosphere. We got a suprise however, when the bill came they charged us a whopping $32 per pitcher of Margarita. Mind you, this is only the house margaratia with cheap well Tequilla and the pitcher is mostly ice!! The server encouraged us to order the pitchers to save money explaining that each pitcher held 8 drinks so our large group could save money. What the server didn't mention was that the drinks came in small 8-10 ounce glasses. It really is an insult to the intelligence of the customers to serve these small glasses and claim that they would cost $8.00 a piece if we ordered them separately.

When I explained my displeasure with the suprise on my bill the manager told me most people don't complain about it, what was my problem? I paid the bill and told her this would be my last outing at Tony Jacals.

My family has been dining at Tony's for 40 some-odd years now....I think it was the first solid food I ate! I was married to a man from Mexico and he brought his family to Tony's after I introduced him to it. They said it was the best Mexican food they had ever eaten and the use of turkey instead of chicken gave it a wonderful, homestyle flair.

This truly is WONDERFUL food in a beautiful environment with fabulous staff.

NOT TO BE MISSED!
