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.

I was surprised to find a Mexican restaurant in Peterborough but hey, rating were okay and we were craving so why not. It was a pleasant surprise. The restaurant is a decent size that you could easily have a larger group have food. The staff was kind and patient and made sure we had everything we needed. I wasn't too hungry so I ordered a couple of tacos and the Mexican hot chocolate though everyone else in my group ordered full meals. Everything looked super legitimate and reminded me of my favourite authentic Mexican restaurant near home - Mexico Lindo. Not one person left unsatisfied. The starter chips and salsa also got cleared out by our group, they were so good! If you're in the Peterborough area, hit this place up, you won't be disappointed.

Whoa! I didn't expect to visit Peterborough and eat delicious Mexican food! I was surprised at the…read moregood reviews on here, so I decided to give it a try. We ordered the lunch special (comes with a soup & burrito) and got the Tortilla Soup (Soupa Aztec) and a chicken burrito, and then fish tacos, and a shrimp taco. I really enjoyed the tortilla soup, which is really beautifully plated and the pico de gallo and guac are delicious. My second favourite thing were the fish tacos, which were not fried like at most restaurants but grilled, and that was a pleasant surprise! All the food was fresh and appetizing. The only downside to the patio is that there were wasps that kept bothering us :( Other than that, a really great experience!

We both ordered chimichangas which came out super fast. Husband cut his in half and it was stone cold. Asked to send it back along with mine, as it too was likely cold. Server seemed confused. Manager came to apologize (we hadn't asked to see him) and said he went over "specs" with the kitchen and promised food would be hot and may take a while. Good came out again shortly after and I cut mine in middle. Filling of chimichanga was cold to the touch. Manager offered to reheat. Seriously. Why a third time? We left. Ended up at Cilangos downtown Belleville. Excellent food!

I visited my friend in Belleville and she wanted to go another roadhouse in the same plaza but the…read moreline up was fierce. She had her heart set on the rib platter so she decided to "try" Lone Star. I had gone to the Whitby Lone Star and the Oshawa Lone Star so I expected a really good experience; it was absolutely disgusting. My friend kept apologizing that night and even mentioned it several times during my visit. Memorable for all the wrong reasons. We both ordered the rib platters and according to my friend, Lone Star's price is double. We waited over 40 minutes for our food. When the server brought our meals, the first thing I noticed was they gave me the wrong side dish. While we waited for them to bring me the correct their mistake we looked over our dinners. The small dishes of baked beans were disgusting. They were dried out and crusty. It looks like they had been scooped in there in the morning and been sitting out all day. The curly fries were cold, the ribs weren't cooked through and the edges were cold. The coleslaw was warm. The Caesar salad that they finally brought me had no dressing on it. I only ate one rib and the chicken wings from my platter. I was starving .My friend's chicken breast was dried out. We finally just decided to take our "leftovers" and leave. The most shocking part of the whole experience was when my friend told our waitress that we were "very disappointed" with our meal and she responded; "You're serious? " we told her about all the things that were wrong with the meal and told her we understood that she wasn't the cook. Please do not spend your hard earned money at a Lone Star Belleville, there are other options in town. In fact; in the same parking lot. It will be worth every dollar and minute you have to wait. .

Great service can overcome mediocre food, and the service here today was so memorable.

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.

The pineapple salsa was so yummy. The portions were huge. Couldn't recommend enough. Finding actually good vegan options is difficult in a new city but this place was a 10/10

We were a group of about 8 people and nobody complained about how delicious everything was. We thought it was like a copy of Chipotle at first, but when you start eating and tasting their mouthwatering topics, well cooked meats, and the delightful combinations they have and original flavors you realize it is actually better than the mentioned above. This place is full of appetizing, flavorful food. Gotta try it!!!!!! Ps: I gave it 4 stars because service was a little slow, my only complaint. They had to swap people on the serving line cause one person was falling behind with all the orders. But again, food is totally worth the time!!!!

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!

We also came with our child and she ordered the kids meal cheese quesadillas with fries which included a drink, and dessert option. Wonderful dining option for families, and plenty of TVs to watch any sporting events that are live during the dining.

When we got up to leave, my feet were sticking to the ground. Maybe I unknowingly stepped into a spilled beverage under the table?? It's hard to find authentic and delicious Mexican food In WNY. Passed by this Restaurant many times, see a full parking lot during dinner time. We decided to try. The Baja fish tacos appeared nice in presentation. Generous portion. 4/5 in taste. I prefer fish tacos that are not breaded. A little oily. The side of rice and black beans was blah. 2/5. The rice was watery. As if it was not drained after cooking And same with the beans. 2/5. My daughter had a fajita burrito which she enjoyed 4/5. We were seated quickly, food took only a few minutes to be served. However our waitress never came back after serving us to refill water or check if we needed anything. We had to flag down a different person who was clearing a nearby table to get more water.

They also have a private dining room on the second floor that you can book for events. The staff are friendly and helpful although the service could be quite faster as it could be tough to attract the staff's attention. We chose "Dine for Two!" Option which gives you the option of 1 appetizer, 2 mains and 1 dessert (from selected menu) for $59.99 which is a good price. We ordered "Tableside Smashed Guacamole and Chips" for appetizer, "Grilled Chicken Fajitas", "BBQ Back Ribs; 2/3 Rack" for main and "Churros" for dessert. It was fun to watch the guacamole being prepared and also to be able to choose/remove the ingredients. The food was fresh snd tasty with good portions. Would definitely want to come back!

The pastor tacos were pretty good but the carne asada was just average. My friend is vegetarian and they ran out of vegetarian options so they literally made him tacos out of frozen broccoli and carrots, which was less than ideal. Drinks were ok, but lacked balance in flavors. Overall the service was just too slow. From food coming out, to getting our bills, it all just took way too long. Overall this place is fine to try once if you're looking for a casual bite, but don't think I'd come back here.
