This place was the real deal! The food was seriously so authentic and the drinks were so delicious. We had the pleasure of meeting Ariana, who was our wonderful bartender/server. She was really fun and gave us some great recommendations! We did get to meet the owner Kevin, he was wonderful and really taught us some great things about tequila. We love it so much. We're going again in a very short weekend to lake Geneva. read more

The service was good. The waitress was attentive. The ambience is nice and festive The food is ok. The beans were good. They are not your typical refried beans. The rice was good. The steak tacos were ok. The meat was ok. The flour tortilla tasted like the ones you buy in a store. Nothing special. This place is ok. Does not feel authentic. read more

I was curious to try this place after reading all of the mixed reviews. When you walk in the restaurant is on the left and the bar is on the right. Even though there's a sign that says to order at the bar, the bartender told us we could sit anywhere and there were menus on the table. There's also a big board that explains everything, so apparently they've improved on this since they opened. Our server was really nice and even gave me the lunch special even though it was past lunch time. My daughter had the walking taco which was huge and filling. I had the two taco special with rice, black beans and steak...actually the best steak tacos I've ever had. Really. They were tender and seasoned really well and the tortillas were delicious too. Fresh, soft and warm. The aromas in the place let you know that it should be good. We had two drinks and our bill was around $36. We really enjoyed and would definitely return. read more

I was hoping this was a good find as it's located in a prime area. We stopped in here and I was disappointed to see staff were sitting at the bar alongside eating their food and going back and forth between eating and serving. The food was decent. There was a smell coming from one side of the restaurant and it definitely tainted the experience. read more

Stopped by walking through downtown Lake Geneva & had the most amazing service. I can't speak for their food but strawberry margarita was delicious (better than the mango). They have arcade/gaming machines, indoor & outdoor seating. Everyone is so kind and helpful. Our server had long curly hair and had me laughing every time he stopped by. This is a family restaurant and bar. read more

I tried Guac Star for the first time tonight for dinner. The food was pretty good, I was able to try 2 different quesadillas- the chorizo and the steak. The steak had a nice flavor to it. The decor inside the restaurant was pretty cool too and our waiter was friendly. I only subtract a star because it does seem pretty expensive for what you get - for $15 a quesadilla plate, I was expecting rice and beans as well, but sadly they are not included. Overall, a nice restaurant with good food, but a bit pricey. read more

If possible I would avoid this place. Food choices are very limited and expensive for the portion size. Horchata was excessively cinnamon heavy and bland. Ordered the King Al pastor burrito but still not sure what meat they actually used because it looked kinda like ground beef but was white like ground turkey. Not good. Chose this place over T bell but it wasn't any better quality which should explain the review, chips were unsalted and thick, gauc was good. read more

It's a cute little Mexican spot with great food. We did not expect the food to be so good honestly. The menu is small but the meat is quality. My husband ordered a steak burrito and I had a burrito bowl and I normally hate black beans but I have no idea what they put on them but they were absolutely delicious. The bartender was friendly and helpful with giving us recommendations. All around happy we found this place and will be back soon! read more

Good for a quick bite. I had one of the burrito bowels and enjoyed it. The prices are a bit too high for what you get, but that's sorta par for course in this area. read more

A small bar and restaurant on Broad Street in Lake Geneva WI serving the best margaritas with so many options to upgrade your experience with over 30 different brands of tequila to choose from! The guac was one of the best I've ever tasted, so fresh and delicious. My husband had the King size burrito stuffed with chicken, beans, rice, guac, sore cream and jalapeño. It was huge and definitely fit for a king. We sat in the bar at a high top facing the window which was the best seat there, people watching. Our server was gracious and welcoming. read more

The food was great & we had the restaurant to ourselves on a Friday night! The owner/manager Kevin was very personable to my folks and made sure that we felt at home and very open. The quality of meat was very good (chicken) I believe the waitress said that it was "farm fresh." I think guac, salsa, and chips for $16 is quite the price to pay. I did the guac and chips, I needed to add some salt to the guac but it was very fresh as well. I thought the finely diced jalapeños on the side added a nice touch to my burrito as well. Customer service by the waiter could be improved upon, involving listening skills...he asked if we wanted a "pitcher" of water (there were 4 of us & we all wanted water) to which I said yes...but instead were brought cups. Side note; I asked for lemon with the water as well, which they only had limes available. This is a cool & casual style Mexican restaurant. Don't expect fancy, but you will leave satisfied and possibly with some good conversation on the side! read more

Food was greasy cheese and service was terrible. A dollop of sour cream was an extra $1 and arrived after food had been consumed I want my $13 back. Seriously. What a rip! Save your money read more

Great location off Main Street in the heart of Lake Geneva just steps away from the lake. Guar Star was a clever name so the family and I popped in for lunch. The service was great with multiple people checking on you. The restaurant is a little small but cozy. They have a cool vintage video game on the front that my kids loved. The food was good. A little pricey with drinks came to $87 but is to be expected for Lake Geneva. I would recommend. read more

Hands down one of the best Mexican restaurants I have been to. I got the steak tacos and let me tell you pictures do not do justice. I came here with my bf and our friends and we were in such a bad mood a couple weeks ago because we could not find a place to eat. We sat somewhere previously for 40 minutes and did not get served. The staff was out of this world. Our server Ariana was so nice and and came in to check on us multiple times. One lady was walking around with fun straws and kept filling up our waters. Another guy working there came and brought us hot sauce which was amazing. I truly felt like a princess by all the staff waiting on my friends and I. The hot sauce was so good that my friend and I needed up buying a bottle I got the last one but the guy who was so nice enough to introduce us to the hot sauce let my friend buy the one that was already open. We live in Chicago so it was a treat to take this hot sauce home. The music they had playing was also so good! It was a wide variety of songs. Overall, would come back here again for the great staff, food, ambience and hot sauce! read more

We first ate here on a fundraising event and the food was quite good. Came again tonight and we both ordered the steak burritos and the chips and guacamole. The guacamole is homemade and excellent with very good chips. Our server suggested getting the burrito "crispy" which was no small change. Much better than the warmed up tortillas you usually get. The burrito was excellent. Usually burritos are a bowl of rice and beans rolled into a tortilla. Not these. They were well balanced. Definitely coming back again. read more

We are from Illinois. Not only was Frankie a great server but the food was great! The avocado and my favorite drink Paloma's were GREAT! Off topic here but my hunny refuses to go to the bathroom at public restaurant but he said this was the most cleanest comfortable and smelled good place to take care of business! Almost like a studio apartment bathroom. Lbvs Centano/Flores. Thank you. read more

I was incredibly disappointed by my experience here, especially the service. I walked in with my family with nobody saying anything to us about seating. So I asked about seating and they said "one of us will come to you" and we proceeded to wait a few minutes when there were several tables available. The person who took our order could really use some additional training because ordering food with her was an awkward experience. She wasn't explaining anything when we asked. My mom who doesn't know what pico is asked her what pico is and she just looked at her and said "pico de gallo". That's not a description. Also, we asked if she could make a piña colada without alcohol and she abruptly said no. Ok that's fine but please say "it comes prepared already with alcohol" instead of a flat out no. I had asked someone else, which is how I knew it wasn't made fresh at the bar. The drink tasted fine. Additionally, she poorly asked what we want in a burrito and when we asked more details about it she had responded quite rudely saying nothing comes in the burrito but didn't proceed to give us options or point anything out in the menu. I also witnessed her being very rude to other people. There's an iPad near a sign that says "order" which looks like you would be able to order by yourself. A group of people started touching the iPad and she jumped at them for touching it. To be honest, the placement of the ORDER sign being under the iPad is very misleading. So overall, I'm very disappointed with the service. I will not be coming back, not because of the food but because of how we were treated. read more

We just happened across this jem. Highly recommend the steak tacos with cilantro and onion on corn. Meat is locally sourced from a butcher! Had the steak and the beef tacos and the steak just beat it out. The frozen margaritas are made using wine and are done with perfection. I am coming back and coming back soon. This place should be on Triple D's. Keep up the amazing job, Guac Star. Oh, I almost forgot about the staff. They took their time and made it so easy to find what I was looking for. I'm taking two bottles of this Infierno back home with me. read more

Guac Star - This is an amazing hot sauce! Just the right heat. House made from scratch with natural ingredients. Couldn't ask for anything better. - Mexican Near Me - Lake Geneva, Wisconsin

Service was awful. Servers were extremely passive aggressive, and they even told us not to order certain sides with our meals. I've never seen a server ever try and persuade us to get less food. When we asked for salsa with our chips, the server gave us passive aggressive attitude and charged us $6 for it. Pricing is ridiculous. Everything is outrageously expensive. The ambience is awful as well. No one greeted us when we came in, and the employees gave us side eyes as we walked into the restaurant. There were flies everywhere, and our food wasn't even served hot. If I could give 0 stars, I would. I'd never come back here. read more

You're going to want to eat here and you're going to be thinking about this place for days after. We can't wait to get back to Lake Geneva again. Walking around downtown this spot has perfect patio seating. They have a small but mighty menu. Steak tacos. Bomb. Al pastor tacos, even better. Easily the most delicious michelada I've had in a long time. This place is run by a fella who gets it. Simple menu with quality ingredients. Eat here. Just do it. You won't leave disappointed. read more

Came in sat down the server stopped at the table next to us, looked at us and left. Never came back so we left. We have been here quite a few times and service is hit or miss. Food is OK however they just raised their prices $5 a taco!, $5 for little cups of rice and beans, better options in the area. Sorry guys won't be back. read more

The most horrible margaritas I've ever had in my life, it's just frozen Kool-Aid with tequila. I am very sad and disappointed.

We we just paid $18 (15+3) for each of our kids small meals (1taco+rice&beans) that was listed as $8 on the menu. Not sure if that was by accident but it just feels overpriced for the amount of food. check your receipt before you pay to avoid the accident read more

Waitress was rude. Food was mediocre. Don't ask to make your tacos Mexican style. They come out quite blande. The regular tacos are relatively better. It took way too long to bring out shareable guacamole and chips. Management really need to speak to the waitress. It spoils your experience when the waitress is rude. read more

I've had the burritos, chips, guacamole,salsa, horchata, and rice and beans over the last several visits. Food is very consistent, which is great because it is all AMAZING!! The burritos are filled with ingredients that each have their own great flavor and when combined is fabulous. The salsa hits so nice the second it touches your tongue. I have honestly never had such good Mexican food and so so happy to learn it's always consistent with each visit. The discussion over the meals are always about how crazy good the food is! Fresh, flavorful and just delicious! read more

I really wanted to like this place. My daughter and I went there yesterday for lunch around 1pm. We were the only ones there. I will continue going to Los Tres Hermanos for excellent Mexican food. read more

Service was excellent. Interesting take on drinks never had a wine margarita before. Smaller portions than I'm used to but the flavor was there. They had a bunch of different bottled hot sauces to try. Tried the cheese curd taco was ok if you try it make sure to ask for the curds to be extra crispy. read more

Thanks for being open late night. Pretty phenomenal chicken quesadillas and guac at 1am. Will be going back.

Finally, good Mexican food near Lake Geneva! The guac and salsa was very good, along with their choices of hot sauce. Cheese quesadilla was perfect and cheesy and the tacos were so flavorful! Great atmosphere and service too. Hope this place is here to stay and I highly recommend giving it a try. read more

$68 for 2 burritos and 2 "margaritas" is absolutely ridiculous! We briefly looked over the menu then sat outside to put in our order. We had a full conversation with the guy because we thought all the topping were extra. He kept saying no, they are all included. So I said, ok I want whatever is included, nothing extra. Same with my partner. And we order margaritas, which came out as margarita mix over a few ice cubes in a small cup, maybe 8 or 12 ozs. Literally just mix, no alcohol! We were charged $12 each for these?!?!?! The burritos came out and were ok, I thought the steak was pretty grizzly. We got the bill and was flabbergasted! Went inside and asked because we literally thought we got someone else's bill! Nope, that was ours. Everything the waiter told us was included, was not. So the couple of spoonfuls of rice and beans that was put on the burritos was an extra $5 each-which we would not have ordered if it was extra! I hope this review helps others. We think 1 star is too nice. Will not be going back and already telling others of our experience. There are many other authentic Mexican restaurants in the area that have better food and much better value. read more

Me and two of my friends were kicked out for "fake I.D's". We were visiting from IL and maybe they don't know how they look, but that is besides the point. We weren't sure if this server was kidding so it was a very awkward minute of him saying "you could leave". Then he threatens to break my one friends I.D.. For a restaurant that has a limited white ass menu, they need to chill. I think the guy got scared when I pronounced Paloma correctly. A group of Hispanic men were also being kicked out for the same reason. Not sure what the vibes are at this place, but it's not looking good. I spoke with the "owner" and I explained to him what happened, he apologized and checked our I.D's and he verified and said that they were not fake. We were invited back in but at that point it was too late. I wish they scanned our I.D's before kicking us out, it was embarrassing. read more

Stopped by for lunch and was blown away. The guacamole is truly a star and my burrito (steak with mushrooms) was very tasty. Not overly spicy but perfectly seasoned. read more

Food was great but the place is grossly understaffed. Would be an easy 5 star once they get that in order.

The steak tacos here are simply the best ever. They never fail to please. Love is not a strong enough word!!

The food was really nice and the environment is very friendly. I love the service here. They even gave our party free churros; amazing place. read more

Popped in to Guac Star after hearing how great it was from so many...it did not disappoint!! Easy menu...tacos, burritos or quesadillas...rice and beans...guacamole...cocktails. Guac was fresh and extremely tasty and the chips were airy and lightly salted which I appreciate as not a big salt person! Ground beef tacos and steak tacos were our choice and they too did not disappoint. Owner, Kevin provided remarkable service all while filling us in on everything going on with his restaurant as well as the goings on in LG. Restaurant was very clean and inviting. I would highly, highly, highly recommend Guac Star...you will be impressed on every level!! read more
