What People Are Saying
from Google"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."
"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, the regional variety, the family traditions behind every recipe. Instead, we get “Instagram-ready” portions at double the price, detached from the communities that created them. We are over white people owning overpriced, Americanized Mexican restaurants because it reinforces a cycle: culture is extracted, polished for mainstream palates, and sold back at a premium, while the original storytellers are sidelined. Food should honor the people and history it comes from, not just the wallets of those who rebrand it. If you really love Mexican food, support Mexican-owned restaurants. They carry the flavor, the history, and the heart that can’t be faked or franchised."
"Dear god, it was so overpriced. For example, the $14 guacamole was a thin layer of guacamole spread over a broad bowl, as thin as buttered toast. A small breakfast for 4 was $95. I don’t mind paying for a meal but expect to be fed. Great reply from owner, NOT. They will let the kitchen know, know what? To keep up the "good work" and not provide value. The tip was another $19 (it's Christmas season, which the management doesn't seem to get)"
"We came here because we know they purchase their fish from Captain Mardens. It was insanely good. Guacamole, street corn, tacos, Mexican coke! We will definitely be back"
"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."
