Tommy's Family Restaurant is the best place for comfort mea and drinking a cup of coffeel and seating down and looking the window and seeing the people moving fast in this crazy world it's normal. We been to Tommy's Family Restaurant many time and enjoying the food my wife enjoy the albondiga soup or Mexican meatball soup even I try it their soup is really good lots of vegetables and the broth is so good and couple of meatballs but when you don't feel good have a bowl of albondiga soup. Enjoy the chile relleno I have eaten many version of chile relleno from different restaurants these chile relleno are very good. Next we need to choice a different items from their menu.

It is one of my favorite restaurants to have a meal by myself while in between appointments. Delicious food and portions are more than average! Must try.

All this time I have been going to to MPK Mexican restaurants and I miss this one. With Armando's gone this is the last sorry one next to mexicatesant. Great food and service. It's got that American diner mexican food flare.

We actually stopped by to go to the Hat next door I walked over because Tommy’s showed a 4.3* rating . Oh my gosh I ordered a large bowl of Menudo to go I wasn’t expecting all the condiments and tortillas but wowzerez absolutely delicious I’m going to make it a point that The next time I drive to San Diego to visit my daughter I’m going to swing by this place and pick up some Menudo along the way. What a great find

Lived here for 20 years...my son and I tried for the first time ...we were imprest! Took me back to my Mom's Cocido. And my son raved about the menu do. The Chili rocked the house. Clean and comfortable and the service was good...good food, good service, comfortable environment. I say that is a good reason to go. Not to mention reasonable prices for the food you get. Over 60 yrs in business Family owned.
