Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Lone Star Cantina offers a vibrant atmosphere with "excellent service" and a diverse menu focusing on Mexican flavors. While some guests miss the old Tex-Mex options and "free chips," the new decor and "amazing margaritas" receive praise. It's a lively spot for "drinks and apps" with friends, though prices have increased.

    Quality of food was amazing, portions were great, “Table Guacamole “ was the best my guests had ever eaten. Thanks for a fantastic experience.

    We’ve dined at Lonestar Cantina twice now, and while our first visit left us impressed, our second visit this past weekend felt a bit underwhelming in comparison. During our initial experience, we truly enjoyed the generous portions and the flavorful fajita platter that stood out as a highlight. However, on our second visit, we noticed the portion sizes seemed smaller, particularly the amount of meat, and the fajita platter we loved was absent. That said, the food remains delicious. The service continues to be a strong point—attentive, friendly, and efficient. Overall, while we wish for more consistency in portion sizes lone star still delivers on taste and service. We hope our next visit will align more closely with the high standards of our first. Rating: 4/5 Lonestar Cantina

    It was a great night. Drinks were delicious, food was good, surprisingly a bit less spicy compared to the old recipes, but still delicious nonetheless. Ambiance was fun, bright, energized and the staff were all lovely, attentive, full of delicious suggestions, and all truly looked to enjoy their love. Management popping by and checking on tables was very nice to see as well.

    Food was good but the music was so loud we couldn’t even hear each other talk across the table. I left with a headache.

    Popular for a reason! Food is great, prices are reasonable, and the staff are amazing - it’s a little noisy so not really a “ quiet dinner” sort of place but it is a fun place to go on a Friday night

    The food here is honestly amazing. The music can be a little loud to have a conversation but it's definitely a lively atmosphere.

    Our group enjoyed the new menu and ambiance. I especially liked my passionfruit mojito with boba. The server had accidentally brought a passionfruit margarita but was quick to correct. Prices were on the higher side for food portions I thought. Was worth the try but I personally love the OG locations for their free chips.
