“1st Visit - Dec 2024
Invited to lunch by co-workers and was told better than other Mexican restaurants within the area.

Simple, no fuss decor.

Noontime and there were about 5 groups of diners (inc. us). This was right around Christmas.

Service was quick and okay.

Was very accommodating about my request of more rice instead of beans.

We all agree 👍 on their food.

Good food for the price but, distance/location is not a positive for me.

Parking: Parking shared with multiple businesses.“

The fajitas came in a sizzling bowl, very tasty, vegetables were cooked perfectly and the proteins were as well. They were flavored well with a little spice. So glad we didn’t to stop there while visiting family.“

“Great food. Have been here several times and the food has been great, particularly the ceviche appetizer and the tacos al pastor (marinated pork) entree. Waitstaff have always been super attentive. The margaritas are reasonably priced. If you sit up front by the bar the atmosphere is fun. Farther back, the booths area is plain and feels like a large luncheonette type area. My wife has celiac and must eat gluten free which has not been a problem as long as she pays attention to the components of the meal. Highly recommend.“

I’d like to mention that it is not cheap. It has gotten super pricey so I’m not able to go here as much as I use too back when the tortas were $9-$10 now there just getting super expensive but worth it every once in a while.“

“This was my original first experience with the taco star, which has led to hundreds more. I love this place their food rocks the people who work there are friendly and kick ass. This place has the best Mexican fast food which I hate calling it but it is the bomb. The other location on 104th is also equally as awesome well all the rest seem to not even be the same restaurant despite the signs. They need to take a lesson from these restaurants on how to make consistently good food.“

Pico, queso, and guacamole were as good as I remembered. The quesadilla was huge for sure and it was delicious minus the grease lol. But the service was excellent“
