   Went because my young adult kids like it. Food is OK but very pricey for tacos. Margaritas were good but on the 3rd pitcher they came out with something that looked like orange juice or mango was in it. When we asked the waiter about it he was trying to just say it was a new batch and that’s just how it looks and tastes. It did not look or taste good so when we stated that he did not like that we complained so he took the pitcher back and even took our glasses that we had poured some of the margarita in. Don’t get me wrong 3/4 of the picture was still full so why did he have to take the glasses away too. Part of the previous drink was also in the glasses most likely from the previous picture. To punish us. Now we had to just drink water for the rest of the meal. Really rude when you think about. Our bill was still almost $400 yet he would not let us finish our glass or offer if we wanted a beer something. Will not be back soon.

   Boy has Big Star changed. Used to have a cool edge. Now it’s stroller central in covered patios. Tacos used to be small and flavorful; now they’re huge and mediocre. Such a bummer.

   I had colleagues in town and took them to Big Star for a casual end-of-day dinner. Instead of breaking the proverbial bread, we shared queso. There were five of us and a booth was perfectly conducive to conversation. The vibe and food were great.

   We love Big Star! We had a larger group and we sat in the new section with the TVs so we could watch the Bears Game. The food and the Margs were delicious and we had amazing service!

   Antonio our server was amazing. The appetizers we ordered came out so fast we were still placing our taco order. Our 2 and 4 year old enjoyed playing with the foosball table. Tacos and margaritas were good. Elote portion was smaller than I expected but delicious. We arrived at 5 pm and it started to really get busy around 6 pm. Large indoor seating space.
