I love this place!!…read more The food is delicious. The only suggesting I will give is to avoid the nachos! Lone Star has the best chips ever, yet they do not use their chips for the nachos. So they're a disgusting total fail. The fajitas are the main attraction here. Absolutely delicious, high quality. Just amazing. The ambiance here is good. Seating is comfortable and plentiful and it's never too loud in here. Service is good. I've never had any big issues here. Sometimes it's a bit busy but even then, the service is fine.

This was a tough one between a 3 and a 4. My wife and I love chicken fajitas. 2 weeks before we had…read morebeen to jacks just across the parking lot, this time we decided to try out the cantina. Chicken fajitas for two please. Compared to jacks, pricing a little more expensive. We had to ask for additional "fixings" as what was served was a little thin in portions except the cheese. Amount of chicken and peppers etc was perfect. Service friendly, however not up to jacks. Little things like do they keep your soft drink glass full without having to wave them down didn't happen. Place was not overly busy but server always had to be waved down if required. If the server was a more attentive and the "fixins" a little more generous I would have been inclined more to a 4. But with, at least this server which I know can be a one off, little thin on some portions, and pricing higher than jacks, I'm sticking to a three. The interior was nicely decorated and looked clean.

We had the chips & dips ($14.00) to start. They were excellent. Nachos with Guac, Pico de Gallo, refried beans & salsa. They were all super tasty & so were the hot sauce that came with the table. I recommend the Chiluba Sauce...very Smokey (Pic attached). I had the Diablo Shrimp ($24.00) Fajitas with extra shrimp ($6.00). This entire meal was simply FANTASTIC! There was nothing about this meal that didn't hit the spot. The ambiance was casual with great Mexican theme decor. All in all this was excellent & a definite do over.

Our first visit at Lonestar. There's a Happy hour menu daily 8pm - close. The server name was…read moreDixie. She was friendly and checked on us regularly. There was an issue with the orders and the kitchen brought out a plate of ribs however we ordered the ancho bbq chicken Enchiladas. One of the other servers had to call our server to resolve the mix-up with the orders. Dixie returned to our table and explained to us our orders are coming soon. We waited about 25 minutes for our orders to come out. That is too long for 1 lb of wings and Enchiladas. The Enchiladas did not meet our expectations. The Enchiladas were warm not hot. The rice was dry and beans looked like canned beans. The ancho bbq chicken had nice flavor but that was the only positive. I will not order this again. The chicken wings were half price for happy hour. $9.50 for 1lb and comes with ranch or blue cheese dip and carrots. The carrots were not chopped in bite size portions. We ordered 2 x 1 lb of wings one tequila lime bbq and other one honey garlic. The wings were juicy, meaty and delicous. We also ordered 18oz Budweiser drafts for $6.29 which are part of the $3 off happy hour specials for domestic drafts. For a Friday night, the restaurant was not too busy and you would expect faster service. We did see other diners who also had to wait a long time for their orders as well. We will still give them another try as they have some good daily specials, lunch specials and the steak fajitas really looked good. PS we also didnt get the Cinco de mayo piñata offer to win prizes when we got our bill. We are disappointed however we didn't let this ruin our Friday night.

Server was a bit rude, extremely slow/rarely checking in, and there was a billing issue. It's too bad she made our night out feel crummy. After dinner we left and had our night cap beverage over at Jack Astors. Oh and by the way who changers another $2 for one extra bowl of nachos?? We had a friend drop by for a drink and she would not bring a bowl over for -technically- a new patron because it was for "the same table" - we jokingly told him to sit at the table beside us. Really Lone Star is that stingy now ?

They even have a special on Wednesdays and Fridays: buy one set of tacos and get the second 50% off. Bring cash as you get an extra 5% off! Food: Birria Tacos - 5/5 - I never give anything this rating. I don't know if I was just really hungry, but these were the best tacos I've had in the GTA. Truly delicious and the birria sauce just hits the spot. Carne Tacos - 3.8/5 - Still also really good and authentic, but compared to the Birria, probably wouldn't get this again and just stick to the Birria. Rice and beans - 4/5 - Tasty and authentic; it is what it is! Service: 5/5 - The friendliest, cultural staff, with a smile on their face and happy to serve. Ambiance - 5/5 - Reminded me of Mexico City... brought me back in time, really hit a sense of Nostalgia from one of my favourite places in the world.

However, to be fair, given how packed the restaurant was and we were told by our server that one server didn't show up so they had to cover, I'd say the wait was still reasonable. Our server was also pretty good in the sense that he came to check on us to make sure we were okay. We were given some complimentary chips and salsa so despite being hungry and the wait, there was something to fill our stomach first. We ordered the Surf N' Turf and Crispy Fish Tacos. Portions were pretty good and generous. Both dishes were decent; nothing super special but nothing bad about them either. Pricing is quite reasonable as well. We actually had leftovers since the portions were quite generous and I was impressed by the take out packages they had! They had these aluminum bags for the fajitas and their takeout box for condiments and sides was pretty organized and cute! Would come back for an everyday thing given the overall experience, service, price point, and that it's quite kid friendly!

We also came with our child and she ordered the kids meal cheese quesadillas with fries which included a drink, and dessert option.
