Antonio's Restaurant
What People Are Saying About Antonio's Restaurant

In Short – Even when decorated with bright murals, Mexican flags and autographed celebrity photos, the long dining rooms still offer a comparatively calm respite from Melrose's bustle. Chef-owner Antonio Gutierrez specializes in the sometimes unfamiliar dishes of Oaxaca and Monterrey. Starters include chips with pico de gallo and creamy guacamole. Chicken mole is paired with hot tortillas, avocado and potato chunks bob in tortilla soup, while spinach enchiladas with stewed greens tempt vegetarians.

Back in its hey days maybe

I went to Antonio?s on a Saturday night for a friend?s birthday!! It was a group of 14 women. We sat in the back where the carts that come and go on the tile floor of all the dirty dishes from the other tables in the restaurant. The chips and ketchup looking salsa was horrible. Pace Picante sauce would have been better. There $9 margarita was RATHER disappointed in regards to the size as well as the content. Antonio?s is known for the Tequila selection but they do not use it for their margaritas.

Beware!!

I went to Antonio's for dinner with my boyfriend tonight and had such a horrifying experience!. Right before dinner was served we heard the booth behind us tell their server that they saw a "huge" creepy crawler (you know what kind I mean....it's a banned Citysearch word) run across their table. When we turned around to listen to what they were saying, the cockr**** ran across the top of the backrest of OUR booth. We ran out of the booth but the ***** then FELL onto my purse and then ran across the bench and onto the floor. Everyone in the room was looking by this time. My boyfriend ended up having to step on it. The manager came over and said "No, that's a waterbug." He never saw it, though, until after it was a smashed pile on the floor. It was so disgusting I couldn't eat. To top it off, no one apologized or comped anyting from the bill! If I were them, I would have been kissing everyone's feet in that room, hoping they wouldnt report it! Yuck!
- Cons: A huge creepy crawler on your booth!

not that good, even scary at times

My party went to Antonio's for lunch. The employees were late so they opened up about 30 minutes late. Though we were hungry, we waited to try this place, especially after the reviews I read. The service and food were just ok. Nothing special at all. The guac was just one step up from the flourescent green goop you get at a convenience store. The liquid they tried to pass off as a margarita was putrid! I have never tasted anything like it. The best thing about Antonio's is their 'history'. My friend's salad looked fresh. At least it wasn't expensive
- Pros: funny pictures
- Cons: the food and drinks
