This was a tough one between a 3 and a 4. My wife and I love chicken fajitas. 2 weeks before we had…read morebeen to jacks just across the parking lot, this time we decided to try out the cantina. Chicken fajitas for two please. Compared to jacks, pricing a little more expensive. We had to ask for additional "fixings" as what was served was a little thin in portions except the cheese. Amount of chicken and peppers etc was perfect. Service friendly, however not up to jacks. Little things like do they keep your soft drink glass full without having to wave them down didn't happen. Place was not overly busy but server always had to be waved down if required. If the server was a more attentive and the "fixins" a little more generous I would have been inclined more to a 4. But with, at least this server which I know can be a one off, little thin on some portions, and pricing higher than jacks, I'm sticking to a three. The interior was nicely decorated and looked clean.

We had the chips & dips ($14.00) to start. They were excellent. Nachos with Guac, Pico de Gallo, refried beans & salsa. They were all super tasty & so were the hot sauce that came with the table. I recommend the Chiluba Sauce...very Smokey (Pic attached). I had the Diablo Shrimp ($24.00) Fajitas with extra shrimp ($6.00). This entire meal was simply FANTASTIC! There was nothing about this meal that didn't hit the spot. The ambiance was casual with great Mexican theme decor. All in all this was excellent & a definite do over.

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.

Our first visit at Lonestar. There's a Happy hour menu daily 8pm - close. The server name was…read moreDixie. She was friendly and checked on us regularly. 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.

If you go to a Lonestar, it is probably for fajitas as you really can't go wrong. The filling comes out on a hot plate but the chicken is always only warm, probably because it is so thinly sliced. On this particular visit though, I got the beef brisket tacos. It was a nice change from the usual and the beef came with a sweet bbq sauce. The tacos were good, but nothing special. Kind of random, but I really enjoyed the churros. Maybe this was simply because it is both deep fried and sweet, but I thought they were well done.

However, to be fair, given how packed the restaurant was and we were told by our server that one server didn't show up so they had to cover, I'd say the wait was still reasonable. Our server was also pretty good in the sense that he came to check on us to make sure we were okay. We were given some complimentary chips and salsa so despite being hungry and the wait, there was something to fill our stomach first. We ordered the Surf N' Turf and Crispy Fish Tacos. Portions were pretty good and generous. Both dishes were decent; nothing super special but nothing bad about them either. Pricing is quite reasonable as well. We actually had leftovers since the portions were quite generous and I was impressed by the take out packages they had! They had these aluminum bags for the fajitas and their takeout box for condiments and sides was pretty organized and cute! Would come back for an everyday thing given the overall experience, service, price point, and that it's quite kid friendly!

That said there're some concessions to Tex-Mex, with the burritos and American cheese on the nachos. We were greeted with servings of what seemed to be light versions of nachos & 2 sopes (like the corresponding items on their menu, but with fewer toppings). The nachos used nice, crispy, firm tortilla chips. The sopes were decent (though I'm not a fan of Hispanic corn dough, since it's quite heavy & has a strong taste) Sopa de tortilla was very rich & tasty & slightly spicy. There was a nice texture from the tortilla bits & pork rinds. Caldo de pollo was good but it was just chicken soup with rice. The tacos were pretty big. Campechano was mostly beef & sausage inside, but was dry with a flat flavour. Yet, it was not the fault of the meat - on its own the stuffing was pretty tasty - it just didn't work in the taco. Camaron was pretty good it had a lot of herbs & had a fresh taste especially with the sour cream. Gringa was good: like Mexican pulled pork - more onion, more sour & less sweet than American pulled pork. Pastor was tasty spiced pork with pineapple, though it was better on its own outside the taco. Pambazo was a soft, very potatoey bun which was pretty good. Enchilada mole was quite small - you could just order 1. It was decent. The lime agua fresca drink had a good lime taste & tasted fresh & homemade. The desserts were decent too. 3 milks cake was pretty good - I've had moister but this was moist & rich. Bunuelos (fried dough) were decent - fresh with nice cinnamon, but very thin so they were all crunch; they were also a bit oily. Ice cream was normal.
