Wanted some quick, tasty dinner after spending the day hiking the Harding Icefield trail. And Lone Chicharron had great reviews! They didn't disappoint. Came for tacos, and they have a great taco selection. We ended up ordering a bunch for a taco sampler, and the fish tacos (as would be expected) were our big winner. So fresh. Loved their salsa bar. I absolutely love trying out different salsa on my tacos, and they had so many different choices. Definitely make sure to check it out. Order at the counter, sit down, and then pick up your food. Cashier was friendly, and the food was ready in a decent time. Overall, a great choice for lunch or dinner. Grab some tacos (and check out the salsa bar!) and enjoy! read more

This is the spot everyone needs to go to when hanging out in Seward! It's affordable, big portion, and very tasty! I really enjoyed my chicken burrito after a day of exploring the town. The tacos were also good. They were pretty busy around lunchtime when we went but the food came out pretty quick. Would definitely come back! read more

Quick snack or meal to fuel your adventures in Seward! We came by after The Cookery (their sister resto) to really fill up. We all got a couple tacos ($4.50/ea) and chowed down. Honestly it was all good - pescado, carne asada, carnitas, the salsas. Was pleasantly surprised to find this in Seward. read more

Fast service, kind team, and KILLER quality. Grab and go style with some seating inside. Definitely worth a stop. Very affordable for the area read more

Small little restaurant in downtown Seward. You order then get your table. They call your name you pick up from the counter and bus your own table when finished. I ordered the Elote and Pescado tacos. They were good. The front has a cart with salsa. Very small amount of tables inside. Like an indoor fast food spot. read more

Pork and fish tacos are a must do with great in house made corn tortillas Definitely recommend read more

We enjoyed some tasty tacos at this place. The menu is pretty limited, but it covers all of the bases. Choose your meat and pick the format (taco, burrito, or torta.). We tried the Rockfish (light batter, excellent fresh flavor), Elote (nice version of this classic), Carnitas (deeply spiced, and nicely crispy) and Carne Asada (nice marinade and lean meat). My favorite was the Carnitas, but the rest were also very good. These are above average tacos this far north. The place is small but comfortable and they offer several Mexican beers. You should try this one out. read more

Really great tacos in downtown Seward. Stopped in right before closing and grabbed a carnitas, carne asada, and rockfish taco. They come with cabbage, onions, and cilantro on a fresh handmade tortilla. All three tacos were delicious but the carnitas was my favorite. read more

Real fish battered well, lightly fried on corn tortilla. We went back and ordered more because they were delicious. We are from a beach town where fish tacos is a weekly take out meal - these folks legit know how to do fish tacos Very tasty selection of 5 salsas at the self service salsa bar. Open kitchen that was clean and efficient. Lots of cooks but everyone had a job and service was quick. A but pricey but that may be how it is in Alaska read more

Overall, a solid fast-casual taqueria. The one thing it was missing were house-made chips, salsa, and guacamole. We didn't encounter guacamole frequently in Alaska, so perhaps it's difficult to get/expensive to source there. Service was friendly and the place was packed: when all tables were taken, we were informed that The Lone Chicharrón is attached to the adjacent bar, which had a pass-through window to the restaurant. We order drinks at the bar and the restaurant would pass our order through the window to us. Unfortunately I'd left my ID in our hotel, so was not permitted to enter the bar. Thankfully by the time we'd tried that, a table had opened in the taqueria and we were able to order drinks from The Lone Chicharrón instead. We got two combo orders of tacos plus 1 extra taco (so we could try 1 of each taco on the menu). All were tasty. Appreciated the serve-yourself salsa bar. Would definitely return! read more

This is a little taqueria in the heart of fun tourist Seward. We enjoyed tacos, rice and beans boxed up and then squeezed into a little table. The salsa bar is fresh and lively. Green salsa verde was my favorite. The taco-maven who took our orders was lovely and gave me my beer while we waited. Happy that a local at the Seward Outdoor shop pointed us in this direction. read more

Simple, well executed menu with absolutely everything you need from a taco shop. Amazing salsa bar as well. Pricing is actually reasonable compared the insanity of AK restaurant pricing. If in Seward, eat here and get carnitas read more

This little Gem is Amazing I almost hate to post this review letting people know how Wonderful the food & people are! They serve street tacos $4.50 each I had one fish & one pork and these were off the hook, best fish tacos besides my mothers & I would have to say a very close competition. The pork was very flavorful & tender that I would definitely order these again. My husband is totally stuck on the fish tacos. One nice thing is you can order your food & go sit in the bar & order a beverage wait to have them call your name go back & eat in the bar. This is a hidden Gem & I'll definitely be back!! read more

Excellent Mexican food. We had the tacos with steak, chicken burrito, carnitas burrito...all were great. Seating a tad limited but turnover rate pretty high. Funky vibe. read more

We stopped in for dinner on a Tuesday evening in June. The kitchen was bustling, but they seemed short-staffed up front, which led to a long line out the door as people waited to order. Seating is also limited, so many folks ordered food to-go. Once we got through the line, the food came out quickly and was worth the wait. We tried the chicken burrito and a variety of tacos including steak, chicken, and fried rockfish. We liked the steak and fish tacos. We only wish they served chips and salsa! read more

Great tacos, great service. Highly recommended. Surprising to find great tacos so far from California (let alone Mexico).

Amazing tacos! Fresh ingredients, super flavorful! Would visit again. Highly recommend the steak and rock fish tacos. Service was great too! read more

This is possibly the best Mexican food in all of Alaska. I went here last Friday, it was so good that I had to go again just to make sure I wasn't crazy. It was so incredibly good the second time I had to go again, for a third time! I decided after going back three times and getting the burrito three times it really was incredible Mexican food. If you want food that's gonna stomp your tastebuds because it's so delicious, this is the place. read more

I'm a California taco snob. They serve great tacos unexpectedly in Seward, Alaska. The asada, carnitas and fish were fresh and legit on handmade tortillas. I really liked the habanero carrot salsa--spicy and tasty! read more

While on vacation in Seward Alaska we tried the Lone Chicharron Mexican Restaurant and enjoyed it. This was a small hole in the wall restaurant. My wife and I had the Carne Asada Burrito and my brother in law had the Rockfish Taco. Everything was good and reasonably priced. read more

We happened into the place on their nacho day and it was so good. Everything is made fresh, including the tortillas and chips. Their pork tasted like it was smoked! So delicious. read more

We got 2 carbonara, 1 carne asada, and 1 pescado tacos with their hottest salsa. We then ate them all ordered 2 more pescado tacos because they were the best. $27 Even though this is one of the furthest taquerias from Mexico in the Americas it was one of the best we've ever been to. The tacos had just cabbage and tortilla but the meats were all cooked with attention and flavor - being both crispy and juicy. The hottest salsa they offered appeared to be habanero based and was flavorful but not over the top hot. read more

Great food AND got to sit in the Ale House with beer for lunch. Definitely recommend ........................

Basic place, and tacos are small, but amazing! It's cozy inside so I suggest grab a table and have someone else order the food.

What a fun little spot. Was in Seward for just a couple hours to check it out on my way to Exit Glacier and found this place. Was really happy with the service (kind and quick) and the tacos I ordered we're really good. I love sauce and salsa so when I saw they had a salsa bar, it made me happy. Prices were reasonable and the vibe is cool. Only downside is where you order when you come in and the limited seating but overall a great experience. read more

The worst service in Seward. Great food terrible service. Serve stops taking orders and kitchen gets backed up almost instantly. Most time I want a burrito I end up waiting 15 minutes in line while no orders are being taken. Almost every time I try and eat here I end up leaving. read more

Such a great place for take out or dine in! Delicious meal while in Seward with my whole family, recommended by a local.

Some of the best tacos I've ever had. Place was clean, and people were great. Highly recommend.

This great spot gets packed fast and seating is limited. The service is awesome, and we found out the same owners run The Cookery, so it's no surprise the service and food is top notch! We come here every visit to Seward, and this visit proved why we keep returning. The menu is simple and inviting with options for everyone in our family. This time we went with the Hot Rod (two tacos, beans/rice) and we love that you can get each taco with it's own filling. I got pork and chicken, little guy got pork in both, and teen and my wife both got the rockfish and pork. Plus we got a carne asada torta to share. The toppings are fresh, delicious and authentic, and the tortillas are fabulous. The rockfish is lightly breaded and juicy and crisp. The chicken had great flavor. The pork also had great flavor but was dry, and needed some of the fresh salsas they have to try (the garlic salsa is awesome on everything!). The steak torta was amazing. My youngest son and I found the beans much too spicy ( I like a kick but it was too much for me) but the other two loved them. The rice was fine but we all agreed it was a bit plain/lacking favor and needed the salsas to liven it up. This is a "order then sit and eat" place, and you bus your tables when you are done. The salsa bar is a bit hidden in a corner by the door so make sure you look for it and give all the flavors a try. Great atmosphere and the fresh, authentic flavors are a true find here in Alaska and you should NOT miss this stop! read more

Delicioso!!! Ordered rock fish tacos and steak tacos. So fresh and the service is great too. read more

So I'm *still* catching up on reviews of all the great food we ate in Alaska on our "2020" cruise that finally happened in June. Other than that, let me preface this review by saying that I'm also from California, currently living in a major downtown where I could probably walk to more great taco shops than there probably are in all of Alaska (don't fact check that :p). So I know what really good tacos are - and having had these, the only tacos I've had that were better, were from a place that's been closed for years (RIP Cielo). Of places that are actually still open, I literally don't think I've had better. Anyway, their tacos are $4.50 a taco (or were in June, anyway), their burritos were $13. I got a fried fish burrito, which was *quite* good. Totally stuffed with great fish - $13 would be reasonable these days for LA prices for a burrito that big and that good, let alone for "Seward is kind of in the middle of nowhere" prices. My wife ordered the tacos, though, and I was happy to steal a bite of each of them - the burrito was great, but I wish I'd gotten tacos. Again, their tacos were probably the best I've had (you can tell they're fresh made tortillas, that makes such a difference - that and you'd get to try more different meats that way. Tried their asada and the carnitas, both extremely good. Would've loved to have gotten to try everything - if we'd been in Seward longer, I probably would've. $4.50 sounds like a lot for one taco, but it's worth it when they're such great meat on such great, fresh-made tortillas!) They do also have three great salsas to go with everything - mild, "medium" that's also not spicy at all (but is still tasty), and a habanero that was perfectly spicy (though one tiny principle-of-the-thing complaint - I looked at my receipt later, I got charged 50 cents for the habanero salsa that they didn't tell me about. I definitely would have *paid* an extra 50 cents for the habanero salsa, it was great, but you should tell people if you're going to charge them extra for something. :D) Only *real* complaints - one, they need AC. Doesn't matter right *now* clearly, but in June, it was a bit warm inside. Food was totally worth staying for anyway, though. More importantly, they definitely need a slightly bigger/better drink selection - right now (well, unless they've changed since June), they just had sodas, $5 Modelos, and exactly one $6 craft beer, an IPA. (A sour would've gone great with the burrito, or almost any kind of fresh agua fresca, neither of which being things they sold.) Modelo wasn't bad, though, but I'm sure you know what a Modelo tastes like. Seriously, though, I can totally see now why people are saying they come from Anchorage to eat here. If I lived in Anchorage, I would too - and I'd definitely come back here if I were back in Seward. (Though admittedly, only *after* first going immediately back to Firebrand for a breakfast burrito if I got there in time, assuming their smoker didn't unexpectedly die again like it did the time we originally intended to go back there a second time, but their smoker had just died unexpectedly, so we ended up here instead. Not complaining too badly, it was all excellent. Only took like 10 minutes to arrive after we ordered, too!) read more
