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.“

“Every time I go into this place, they are friendly and patient as I order and deal with the app. I will go out of my way or pass by other Cafe Rio's just to come to Star where I know they are FUN to interact with and are pros at welcoming me every single time!“

“I want to give them a one-star because they aren't open all the time. Seriously the best Mexican in the area! A bit greasy but SOO much flavor! I highly recommend the carna asada quesadilla. The burritos are very large and filling. The prices are great! Seriously you need to give it a try!“

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

“I had an amazing meal there and one person stood out the brightest I think her name was kaytlyn cute little blond girl. definitely recommend the service“

“I had 3 of their quesabirria tacos and they were fantastic. Flavor was on point and the shell was just right amount of melted cheese and crispness. Staff were friendly and service was quick. It was snowing pretty heavy so there wasn’t a big line but it was still very quick. I will be going back to try other tacos for sure.“

“If you’re ever in the Boise/Nampa area definitely stop at Toros Tacos! They have the best customer service, tacos, and salsa we have ever had We make a trip from Twin Falls once a month and it’s worth it every time. 🤤“

“New ownership has turned this place around!! The food, the service,,all outstanding. Definitely a go to place to eat. Family friendly menu.“

“Is not your typical Tex Mex restaurant. I would say this is more of a traditional/authentic Mexican market. They have meats and cheeses along with freshly cooked Mexican food.
I like the restaurant food there. Especially the birria de chivo.
They also have a couple stores within the building. They have the fruits/ice cream and the panadería.
Overall they have a great selection of Mexican goods.“

“The chips and salsa, food and deep fried ice cream is AMAZING! The customer service at the Meridian location was EXCEPTIONAL!! The owner Speedy is so amazing! 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!“

“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.

“I finally made it to this fabulous restaurant. I have always seen the parking lot full to overflowing with cars. I, 100%, was not disappointed. This is one of the best Mexican restaurants outside of San Diego Old Town that I have ever been to, hands down. The place is small, yet cozy. They are efficient and professional. Their service is outstanding, and the owners are so down to earth and friendly. Their food display is off the charts and the flavors, OMG!! I highly recommend Pollos y Mariscos El Guero on a 10 out of 10.“

“Close to home and the food and service was excellent ! I decided to give this restaurant another try. After not being that impressed with the old management, I decided to try it again under the new folks. Much to my surprise, they surpassed my preconceived ideas. This is a restaurant that I will now frequent often ! The food was outstanding. The service impeccable and friendly. The restaurant clean and drinks were perfection ! I could find nothing but improvements in this establishment all the way around !! Congratulations to Casa Mexico in Middleton for a job well done !! ? I am a proud patron and follower of your business !!“

“Birthday Lunch! Always a good dish!“

“Enjoyed a nice quiet dinner for Labor Day. Amazing service constantly checked on to see how everything was going. Food was delicious and the lime added to my beverage was well appreciated. Music was playing but wasn't loud just enough to hear it to prevent the silence. Would recommend. Salsa Verde and a roasted jalapeño was requested with the meal and that was happily supplied.“
