Big Star is a hip Mexican restaurant with a great outdoor patio and good vibes. The food can be a bit pricey, but the quality is good and delicious. They offer a variety of tacos, including the popular al pastor and pescado options. The restaurant has a nice selection of local beers and special bourbons. Families with kids will appreciate the friendly and patient staff, who are great and accommodating, providing crayons and coloring paper. Vegetarians can enjoy options like the Lion's Mane mushroom taco with grilled pineapples. The food comes out fast, and the drinks are delicious. Overall, Big Star is a casual spot for flavorful Mexican street food, perfect for a quick bite or a fun meal with friends.
The staff at Big Star is described as top-tier, and the service is great, with servers like Sydney and Grace and Jorge providing excellent service. The Bottomless Big Star package, which includes $45 per person for a minimum of 10 people, is a must-try, with delicious tacos and awesome pitchers. However, one customer reported that the service left a lot to be desired and felt unwelcome during their visit, which took away from the overall experience.
