Customer Reviews
Pretty good tacos! I got the two vegan options: mushroom asada and grilled avocado w tofu. They were both pretty tasty and loaded. Not a huge fan of the flimsy homemade corn tortillas but the filling was good. The habanero salsas were also excellent. My friend got the Baja fish and said it was pretty crispy. Around 7$ per taco.
My friend and I came here to grab a quick bite, I have been here many times. The man at the door got extremely aggressive and rude and refused to let my friend and I in because I didn’t have my physical ID on me. We only wanted to come get some tacos, but he wouldn’t even let us speak. Then proceeded to chirp on us on our way out. Totally unprofessional and unnecessary. I will never be coming back. I am very disappointed in lone star taco bar. Get better employees! Ridiculous.
Went here for some late night food for a birthday celebration. Lone Star Taco Bar was one of the few places that was still open. It was empty enough that we were able to be seated right away, but there was still a handful of people that made it feel lively at this time of the night (around midnight). Inside had typical bar vibes. Got some tacos, grilled street corn, and French toast. I only tried the French toast, which was just okay, but I was craving French toast at the time and was excited to find a place that still served it at night. I wouldn't get it again if I weren't craving. I also got the oaxacan dead drink, which was stronger than most places and more drink than ice, which I appreciated.
I *really* wanted to love this place. The bartenders were great to talk to, the vibe was chill, great movie selection (Jurassic Park). The food was so so tasty EXCEPT mine came out 10mins before my husband's. I refused to eat mine until his came out and at that point, mine was cold. Flavors were great, enjoyed it kinda. Drinks are Boston priced.
I can’t help but feel exhausted walking into yet another “Mexican” restaurant run by white owners. The menu reads like a parody of authenticity watered-down dishes stripped of their cultural roots, marked up to boutique prices, and presented as if tacos and enchiladas just got discovered. Also, real Mexican restaurants give you chips and salsa for free. There is absolutely no atmosphere inside, super bland. Why are we over it? Because food is not just food. Cuisine carries memory, history, and survival. When white-owned restaurants Americanize Mexican food, they profit off centuries of culture while real Mexican-owned businesses are pushed out, underfunded, or ignored. It’s not just about taste, it’s about erasure. These restaurants often sanitize what makes the food powerful: the spice, t
