50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Star

“Had a wonderful dinner tonight, everything was spot on delicious and they weren’t stingy with the chips and salsa.“

“My wife and I just moved to Star from Orange County, CA. We've been exploring local eateries. Today, we came here, based on Google reviews.

It is a food truck/trailer located off Main Street in the NW corner of the Star Merc parking lot. The woman that owns/runs it is most likely originally from Mexico. There is an umbrella and picnic table out in front of it, but you will most likely want to do take out.

Their specialty seems to be their tacos. They are street taco size, so I would recommend three to be satisfied. They use double tortillas, and offer pollo, asada, carnitas, and Chicharrón (for $.50 more). At $2 a taco, I think it's a good deal.

Unfortunately, when we arrived around 3:30, they were out of carnitas, which is my wife's favorite. Apparently, they had a rush on them today (note to self: come early). So we had a combination of the other three. The meat could have been seasoned a little more, but they were definitely tasty.

We will definitely be back. As former lifelong Southern Californians, we love good Mexican food. Here at Tacos Colima, we think we've found it.“

“My first time eating here and was pleasantly surprised. Food was tasty and servers informative and helpful. The place was clean and food hot and fresh. You are able to watch them prepare your order according to your preferences. I really liked that. We will be back.“

“Consistently excellent food and fantastic customer service. Extensive menu with great pricing. One of our favorite restaurants!“

“I’m a lover of Hispanic food. I grew up in California and in Idaho I strive to find good Mexican food. This place never disappoints and the service here is great. The tacos here is the best price around, only two dollars per taco. You can’t beat that. My hot level is high and they have homemade salsa up at the register. I just wanna say thank you to the owner because this is as authentic as it gets. Everyone is so nice and the food is amazing. My kids get down on the large Spanish rice for only 5.99 and it’s huge! Best rice in town. I support this place 100%“

“Great food and better service.“

“Great food! Burritos are good. Gyros are good. Choosing which to get is the hardest part!“

“So I was out of the area for a conference. I went to a few local breweries, and one of them had this taco stand place. I am from Orange County California and we have a lot of taco places, but this place was awesome! Not just the food, but even few local breweries, and one of them had this taco stand place. I am from Orange County California and we have a lot of taco places, but this place was awesome! Not just the food, but even the couple people that were working making tacos, etc. Started talking to one guy. His name was Carlos and he actually is the one that started this business and makes all the food sauce is everything homemade. Coming from California where a lot of stuff is just premade you open a can this was awesome and so is the beard. Thank you Carlos for taking care of me and my friend, your tacos are awesome. Thank you heading back to California tomorrow.“

He was so friendly to my two year old son and made sure we had everything we needed. Our waiter Andres was so wonderful as well and was so attentive. I’m pregnant and was craving their salsa and he made sure my salsa cup was always full and that we were happy. The prices are so reasonable there; it’s definitely one of my favorite places to eat and I can’t say enough about how impressed I am with this place!“

And the music is the best, I recommend you, try this amazing restaurant, you will be so satisfied in every aspect..... Viva Chapala I rate it at a 10÷“

“Definitely a 5 star. Probably a 9.2 out of 10. I started with 2 Adobada, 2 Carnitas and 2 Chorizo, finished those and had to go and order 2 more, Cabeza and Adobada. They're all so good. Tortillas are good and all the meat was fantastic. Red and green salsa was fine, not amazing but very standard and complimentary to the delicious tacos. One table with an umbrella or front, parking at the shop or behind the truck. Fast and well priced ($2.50 a piece). The only downside is it's right off Garrity which makes the street noise a bit much to really Talk and conduct business. But for a quick to-go meal, this is fantastic.“

“Delicious food!! Our first time and we loved it! Please build one in Star!“
