Everything was amazing. When asking questions about certain items on menu our waitress was sweet took her time to elaborate. Amazing customer service even as busy as they were. It. Could of been a little cooler and not so stuffy feeling. But the quality and taste of the food oooooh shit yes the sweet Tea is in the top 2......

Tommy’s really delivered with their carne guisada, absolutely outstanding! The meat was incredibly tender, packed with a perfect blend of spices that brought out rich, savory flavors in every bite. The rice was just as impressive, light and fluffy, complementing the dish beautifully. The restaurant had plenty of seating, so finding a spot wasn’t an issue. Service was quick, and prices were fair, making for an overall smooth experience. The only downside? Parking was a bit limited, so be prepared for that. Otherwise, if you're craving top-tier carne guisada, Tommy’s is the place to go!

Update: 04/25/23 Still fast and friendly service. They brought the oldies music back!!! Yayyy!!! Never disappointed when I go there. Awesome. Added another picture. Good food, good service and my favorite part is that they play oldies. Flour tortillas are puffy and the food is really good.

Great food! Best carne guisada! Good service. The place is packed and was kind of hard to get out of parking lot with the drive through, but not the worst. There was enough parking spaces.

My favorite waitress at Tommy's Restaurant is Galilea because not only she been working at Tommy's Restaurant for a long time. But I also love her english and spanish accent just like Shakira. That's why I like sitting in her tables. She doesn't know but now she knows... (Bonita)

Tried everything they have to offer and everything is good, except for the Fideo Loco. Tried it today paid 25 for two picked them up at 12:39 May 24th. They are very salty was not able to eat them due to high sodium. One was untouched the other was tasted by three family members whom all agreed that food contained too much salt. Going to take second one back for a refund. Will posted the outcome when done ...
