Cafe Tony

This place is really bad. I should have read fellow helpers reviews prior wasting my time here. First of all, they OVERCHARGE as they please. I was charged $ 2 for a terrible Cortadito, which was supposed to be $ 1.25. I also had a sandwich, which was all bread. Don’t waste time or money here and go to any other nearby cafes

This place is awful, no better way to put it. It’s labeled as middle eastern and yet they sell tequeños, cachitos, etc, which are Venezuelan. This place can’t even get the most simple of middle eastern cuisine right so it leads me to believe that the Venezuelan must be even worse.
Ordered a fattoush salad, a staple of middle eastern food and one of the easiest to make and they decided to throw some dry stale pita bread that was cut up instead of chips. See the picture I attached. And then there was the «beef» shawarma which I’m thinking was my biggest regret ordering and then taking on bite before throwing it out. The meat was days old you could tell and they used actual pickle slices from a jar. Not middle eastern pickles, the kind you kind on a whopper.
Once again anyone looking to eat here, good luck. This restaurant is begging for Unilocal to reconsider their rating system to now include no stars at all.

They sure have the best coffee in town. The food is excellent. Authentic and fresh.
The location is real convenient I guess. In the heart of downtown and it opens ²⁴⁄₇.
Great after a night out as well. We came here after a long night of drinking and had a bite and a Cuban coffee :) Bueno y Barato.
I am not sure why the advert here says open from 9:00 am to 9:00 PM? The place opens 24 hours a day

Quite possibly the worst Mediterranean food I’ve ever had. Ordered the gyro platter and falafel. The gyro was cooked maybe 4 hours ago and arrived stiff and salty. The falafel was completely brown throughout and mush without the crunchy outside. The rice and hummus were bland.
No thanks.

Ordered a late dinner — food came cold. Chicken was hard, noodles were way overcooked. Definitely won’t order from here again.

Great service! Delicious just like the authentic Arabic food I have tried in the past. The guy runs everything pretty fast to just be by himself. Plus he speaks Spanish pretty good too.

I was ok for me. I like the falafel but it was not that green and a bit spicy for my taste. But it’s really cheap.

Where is the door to this place??? Seriously I couldn’t find it. Anyways I decided to go in for a quick bite of a falafel sandwich and they did have falafel BUT OMG that was not the fafalel sandwich I’m used to eating. It was dry and with not much flavor. I felt like they used falafel mix they sell in Publix. They have a whole bunch of diffrent things BUT I don’t think I’m going to pass by anytime soon.

I wish the food was better, but for the price you pay you can’t complain. Could it have been fresher? Possibly. It’s nice that it is open ²⁴⁄₇ but when you get dirty looks after asking questions about the food, that makes me sad. :^(
It’s all about customer service, people. You’re gonna give me a hard time when I’m trying to spend money at your establishment & I’ve given you no reason for this attitude?! EAD, sir!
I doubt I will be back unless it is an emergency or I wanted to be treated like garbage. I’m sure they will get their act together as soon as the 7-​ELEVEN opens right around the corner. Hehehehehehe! :^D

Bleh. They were lucky to be one of the only things open after 11pm. Otherwise, if you like quality food that doesn’t cost an arm and leg and stays open late, head to Rene and Manolo’s instead. The food we got here at Café Tony was cheap, but also subpar. I got a spinach empanada thing and it tasted like it had been sitting under the heater thing the entire day. It was dried out and tasteless.
On the good side, there are plenty of choices for things to drink (and plenty of other food but who knows how fresh/​not fresh they were). I got a nekkid drink with pomegranate. I needed it badly after all the alcohol and dancing around.

Chicken kebab? I ordered a chicken kebab and I think there was something lost in the translation. I am going to assume it was all me since I figured a kebab would come on a skewer of some sort. Instead I received a pita filled with grilled chicken, onions, and other sorted and sundry items. It didn’t taste bad, but it didn’t taste great. The chicken tasted as though it were marinated in a lemon base. I don’t know that I would ever crave the food but I wouldn’t be adverse to returning

I live super close to this place, and go there for coffee, pastries, late night ice cream. It’s 24hr, super cheap, and has all the corner store stuff you’d need. It is gritty and part of the neighborhood, not all bubbly and chic. I tried the hummus pita sandwhiches the other day. Cheap (6 $ or something) and good quality. In terms of 24hr middle eastern food, can’t be beat.

This 24 hours convenience store is popular with construction workers that work «next door» making a new door.
Well no, seriously… it’s open 24 hours. The Colombo-​Libanos (Colombian-​Lebanese) owners were welcoming and seemingly prepared to pull an all nighter (I’m curious to see who takes their shift or maybe they sleep in the backroom — I’m kidding.)
So why did I come here? Because I saw «falafel» written outside its door while passing by and I just had to check it out. For the sake of comparison, I’m going to compare this place with Middle East Connection at Bayside.
Prices are cheaper. Food is almost comparable. Food selection is small but I was told it would expand sometime soon. Atmosphere is not as congested. And the food is available 24 hours (until it runs out and the owners bring a fresh new batch the next day).
The food I’ve tried were kibbe, hummus, falafel, pita bread, stuffed grape leaves, and rice. All were good and I could not complain about anything except for the stuffed grape leaves– I had wished that they would be bigger as they are tiny.
While this is certainly not the best place to have middle eastern food, the convenience of its availability for 24 hours is enough for me to make it notable in my book.
