Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Lone Star Cantina offers a vibrant atmosphere with "great food and service" that keeps guests coming back. Guests rave about the "table guacamole" as the best they've ever tasted. While some miss the old Tex-Mex menu, the new Mexican-inspired dishes are praised for their flavor. The lively ambiance, complete with a DJ, makes it perfect for a fun night out, although it might be too loud for quiet dining. Despite some menu changes and higher prices, the attentive staff and delicious drinks ensure a memorable dining experience.

    Food and drinks tasted good but $26 for 3 tacos and it doesn’t include sides?! Too pricey for what you get in my opinion. Also, I informed the waiter that we were celebrating my son’s birthday and he did not bring anything for him meanwhile everyone else around us were getting candles and a dessert. Very disappointing.

    Quality of food was amazing, portions were great, “Table Guacamole “ was the best my guests had ever eaten. Thanks for a fantastic experience.

    We’ve dined at Lonestar Cantina twice now, and while our first visit left us impressed, our second visit this past weekend felt a bit underwhelming in comparison. During our initial experience, we truly enjoyed the generous portions and the flavorful fajita platter that stood out as a highlight. However, on our second visit, we noticed the portion sizes seemed smaller, particularly the amount of meat, and the fajita platter we loved was absent. That said, the food remains delicious. The service continues to be a strong point—attentive, friendly, and efficient. Overall, while we wish for more consistency in portion sizes lone star still delivers on taste and service. We hope our next visit will align more closely with the high standards of our first. Rating: 4/5 Lonestar Cantina

    It was a great night. Drinks were delicious, food was good, surprisingly a bit less spicy compared to the old recipes, but still delicious nonetheless. Ambiance was fun, bright, energized and the staff were all lovely, attentive, full of delicious suggestions, and all truly looked to enjoy their love. Management popping by and checking on tables was very nice to see as well.

    Food was good but the music was so loud we couldn’t even hear each other talk across the table. I left with a headache.

    Popular for a reason! Food is great, prices are reasonable, and the staff are amazing - it’s a little noisy so not really a “ quiet dinner” sort of place but it is a fun place to go on a Friday night
