- NNannetteVIPPhoenix / Arizona •32 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoStarted off with the appetizer special; four large bacon wrapped shrimp which were amazing. It came with this tasty pineapple slaw. This item needs to be on the menu permanently! My husband had the ribeye and loved it. He is not a veggie lover, but he ate every snap pea on the plate! I had the chicken tacos, which are always good. It was his birthday, so they brought out a great dessert. Service was wonderful. Tonto is one of my favorite places in Town.More infoTonto Bar & Grill (Lunch reservations not required, excluding holidays)Price: Moderate• American• Cave Creek•4.7
