Lone Star Taco Bar

  4.4 – 923 reviews   • Mexican restaurant

Social Profile:

Lone Star is the collaboration of the shared and individual experiences of owners Aaron Sanders and Max Toste, who spent much of their early years in Texas and Southern California, respectively. The flavors found on our menu are both familiar and robust, inspired by the open air markets and taquerías of Austin, Dallas, Los Angeles, Oaxaca and Mexico City. At Lone Star our focus is on mezcal, tequila, and Mexican street food. We utilize fresh ingredients prepared in a variety of ways to produce a complexity within simple fare. This being said, the true purpose of Lone Star was to create a fun and relaxing environment where we and all of our friends would want to hang out.

Hip, wood-paneled cantina serving modern Mexican street food plus mezcals & many tequilas.

Pretty good tacos! I got the two vegan options: mushroom asada and grilled avocado w tofu. They were both pretty tasty and loaded. Not a huge fan of the flimsy homemade corn tortillas but the filling was good. The habanero salsas were also excellent. My friend got the Baja fish and said it was pretty crispy. Around 7$ per taco.

My friend and I came here to grab a quick bite, I have been here many times. The man at the door got extremely aggressive and rude and refused to let my friend and I in because I didn’t have my physical ID on me. We only wanted to come get some tacos, but he wouldn’t even let us speak. Then proceeded to chirp on us on our way out. Totally unprofessional and unnecessary. I will never be coming back. I am very disappointed in lone star taco bar. Get better employees! Ridiculous.

Went here for some late night food for a birthday celebration. Lone Star Taco Bar was one of the few places that was still open. It was empty enough that we were able to be seated right away, but there was still a handful of people that made it feel lively at this time of the night (around midnight). Inside had typical bar vibes.

Got some tacos, grilled street corn, and French toast. I only tried the French toast, which was just okay, but I was craving French toast at the time and was excited to find a place that still served it at night. I wouldn’t get it again if I weren’t craving. I also got the oaxacan dead drink, which was stronger than most places and more drink than ice, which I appreciated.

I *really* wanted to love this place. The bartenders were great to talk to, the vibe was chill, great movie selection (Jurassic Park). The food was so so tasty EXCEPT mine came out 10mins before my husband’s. I refused to eat mine until his came out and at that point, mine was cold. Flavors were great, enjoyed it kinda. Drinks are Boston priced.

I can’t help but feel exhausted walking into yet another “Mexican” restaurant run by white owners. The menu reads like a parody of authenticity watered-down dishes stripped of their cultural roots, marked up to boutique prices, and presented as if tacos and enchiladas just got discovered. Also, real Mexican restaurants give you chips and salsa for free. There is absolutely no atmosphere inside, super bland.
Why are we over it? Because food is not just food. Cuisine carries memory, history, and survival. When white-owned restaurants Americanize Mexican food, they profit off centuries of culture while real Mexican-owned businesses are pushed out, underfunded, or ignored. It’s not just about taste, it’s about erasure. These restaurants often sanitize what makes the food powerful: the spice, the regional variety, the family traditions behind every recipe. Instead, we get “Instagram-ready” portions at double the price, detached from the communities that created them. We are over white people owning overpriced, Americanized Mexican restaurants because it reinforces a cycle: culture is extracted, polished for mainstream palates, and sold back at a premium, while the original storytellers are sidelined. Food should honor the people and history it comes from, not just the wallets of those who rebrand it.
If you really love Mexican food, support Mexican-owned restaurants. They carry the flavor, the history, and the heart that can’t be faked or franchised.

Dear god, it was so overpriced. For example, the $14 guacamole was a thin layer of guacamole spread over a broad bowl, as thin as buttered toast. A small breakfast for 4 was $95. I don’t mind paying for a meal but expect to be fed.
Great reply from owner, NOT. They will let the kitchen know, know what? To keep up the “good work” and not provide value. The tip was another $19 (it’s Christmas season, which the management doesn’t seem to get)

Great place with rock atmosphere! Perfect match to have a beer with your friends:) amazing chip prices, especially after NYC. the staff was very friendly and paying attention to every detail. One love❤️. but food… I didn’t like my fish taco – VEGASCRUZ FISH at all . It was super fat and tasteless. Sous was bad as well. But guacamole and chicken taco was delicious!!! Would I suggest you to come and try? Absolutely

Lone Star and Deep Ellum next door are jointly owned from what I understand. They’ve made indoor booth seating possible by having transparent glass/plastic barriers between each table. Excellent service combined with delightful food and really good varieties of margarita. Special mention for their queso sauce. It was lip-smacking to say the least!

Straight to the point- 5 tiny chicken wings for $11 is INSANE. Around $11 for these chicken quesadillas fine whatever. But what’s even more insane is $5 tacos for 1. I get it the pandemic is doing numbers on restaurant owners, but if we’re going make these outrageous ask for 5 wings for $11 please make sure they are the best damn wings in town. Now the positives, the host/server/ bartender was very nice and accommodating. Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves. The ambiance is perfect for a low key date night. But as a foodie I just want more flavor even in the the most simplest dishes.
