    Churros

    Sadly the worst experience I've had at this location. The food was good but it took forever to arrive as did the drinks. Our waiter seemed very overwhelmed and rarely visited our table. We asked if we could have a chair at the end of our booth so there was more room for everyone. As an additional party had joined our reservation. One of the blonde waitresses very rudely told my friend "look around can't you see we are busy." She then proceeded to very obviously shit talk about us to other staff as suddenly we had waiters and other staff staring and pointing at us. They brought our food to the table and forgot someone's salad. 20 minutes go by and no waiter and no salad. We wave someone down and they go to the back to check. Another 10 minutes go by and we finally have a salad. Not sure why a salad took 35 minutes longer than a giant fajita bowl and other fried dishes...

    My friends always speak highly of Lonestar, but this experience makes me question their expectations on a restaurant experience - haha. Two of us went here for dinner in this review. Our server came to us promptly, they served us chips and salsa as we sat down - just fine. We ordered the queso dip and tortilla chips, and it was extremely basic, would definitely not order it again. It's margarita month so we got the candy-themed flight of margaritas, cool concept, but VERY sweet. Good enough though if you like sweet things! The server forgot to bring us napkins, cutlery, side plates, hot sauce, and water we asked for. It was a pretty quiet night at 7pm on a Tuesday - not busy enough to be this forgetful. We ordered the steak fajitas and crispy fish tacos (3) with a garden salad, which were actually pretty good, but we had to wait for the cutlery and napkins to come before we could start eating, so they weren't as hot as I've would've liked. The guacamole seemed to be from a tub, the shredded cheese was definitely pre-shredded from a frozen bag/container. It's pretty clear it's just an operation rather than anyone in the back/chain owner (whoever decides this stuff) who actually cares about quality food /service ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Great service and great food. Tender juicy meat came sizzling hot on the plate Bbq ribs, chicken, steak, bell peppers, onions and tortillas with Mexican rice

    a plate of fried chicken

    Waited like 40 minutes food. And the chicken was under cooked and cooled, I couldn't eat it because I looked dangerous

As far as the location goes, I must say they have very limited parking spots(but we found a spot). Parking spots were tight. However, there is ample parking at the big box store across the street, and they are on a bus line. They are not near other restaurants but stand out based on the loud Mexican music and big sign that has a Mexican flag Over all the service was friendly, attentive, and quick(especially considering how packed it was) They give nachos on arrival, sort of like how restaurants normally give bread, which were okay , but the salsa was bland. The lime margarita was amazing. I got the beef enchiladas, which were tender and loaded with food didn't quite pack the punch I was hoping for. My mom and my wife got the nachos with chicken;they didn't like it. So I tried it to confirm the following: the nacho platter with chicken was bland, with very little crunch. It looked like it was sitting around for a while as far as value goes, my wife's beer was more expensive than my margarita, which is a plus if you are an alcohol drinker like me but not for a beer drinker, obviously. The portions on my plate were small, but there were so many different items on the plate that blended together fairly well that the small portions didn't matter too much. And lastly, the smell of the place was nonexistent, which is odd IMO for a small restaurant.

    My husband left a 10% tip and he's an absolute 20% tipper, I've never ever seen him leave less than…read more20%!!! We were there yesterday Mar 27, 6pm to 8:45pm sat in the bar area. 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 ?

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.

Tonight was the first night that I was introduced to the "extra charge". I wanted extra beans and the worker informed me it was an extra charge. I asked about the burrito bowl and was told again that one scoop is allotted (as it's a green bowl, meaning you get lettuce instead) and every additional scoop is an additional charge. I'm sorry, but that's the first time I heard of that. Last time I went in, I ordered one of each with the aforementioned "extras" and that worker gave them, no additional charges mentioned at all. It was just a shock. And it's a shock that it's also not on their menu somewhere. Ignoring that, the burrito tasted great. It was a good blend. The reason why it lost 2 stars is because of the churro and chips and salsa. The churro was dry and hard and dry. The chips were stale. I popped by at 7:30pm, so maybe the problem was that I grabbed those items later in the day? I dont know, but they were bad.

Good quantity for Chips and queso, but the sauce wasn't really queso, just cheese sauce. I was expecting to get a little kick like queso normally does.

The Barbacoa inside was perfectly cooked, full of flavour. I wish my Margarita had more punch though, it was barely noticeable in the entire experience. What was noticeable was the decor which feels dated from 15 years ago. Overall, decent, I would return.
