Lone Star Taqueria

Simple and good

by toadguy at Citysearch

If you're looking for a bold, complex seasoning on a fish taco, you might be a bit disappointed. Lone Star's fish tacos are about respecting fresh fish and serving it up right. The seasoning and condiments don't overpower the fish, but provide perfect complement and balance in a great taco.

The other protein options are good too, but the fish will keep you up at night with cravings. They change the kind of daily fish based on what's fresh. Even with richer fish like salmon (which I imagined might be too oily for a fish taco) they turned out great.

I drive half an hour to get these tacos and never regret it.

I was also flattered when the cashier recognized me after only eating there three or four times. Maybe I'm sleepwalking there and making orders I'm not aware of...

The real deal!

by Balous07 at Citysearch

This is the perfectplace for a few friends, a date or a family outting for some real food. The decor is one of a kind and the patio doesn't get much better. It's just a good place to go relax and have a taco! The service is always great. They are very good at explaining the different options you have and helping you decide what would be best. I don't like fish tacos but ITS A MUST HAVE here!!!!!

Great tacos

by mssphd at Citysearch

I just ate at Lone Star today and thought the food was incredible. I see that there have been several reviews commenting on the service but no reviews for the past few months. I can say that the service today was fun and friendly. The guy who took my order was smiling and helped me understand the different choices on the menu. There are a lot of options for a fast food ordering place so it can be confusing to a newcomer. He was also very friendly to the other customers. The woman who brought out the food was also very friendly and was helpful with a customer with young children.

So I think that they are improving the customer experiance without sacrificing the food. I had a salmon toco and a carne acevado taco. The flour tortillas are the best. Messy but oh so good.

BEST MEX IN UT, SERVICE IS QUESTIONABLE

by JMcMichael at Citysearch

I was turned onto Lone Star in 2002 and have enjoyed at least a meal a week since. Over the years I have found the food to be consistent, tasteful, amazing, and down right Mexican! I recommend everyone give it a try!

I am writing this review in hopes the owner/owners or managers pay attention to customer feedback. However, the service is ok sometimes and most of the time not good. I am a small business owner and would want to know these things, at least from what I have seen. Recently I have seen some awful customer service things such as; When ordering the employee doesn't say "hello or how may I help you" usually I get a "what do you want?" I understand this place is packed during lunch and dinner, but really? What do you want?? A simple "hello what can I get for you" would suffice. Yet when a Latino looking fellow walks in the employees have a couple minute conversation with him. I see this treatment of customers on every visit. I see employee's getting mad at customers for forgetting there # and I couldn't believe it. Rather than putting on a smile and saying to the customer "next time if you could please remember your # it really helps us get your food out to you quicker." I understand Lone Star is a truly authentic Mexican place, but when I go to Mexico I am treated much better by street vendors, waiters, and locals during my visit, than by the employees' at Lone Star. I will never stop going to Lone Star as the food is the best and one of the only authentic Mexican restaurants in Utah, puts Cafe Rio, Chipotle, Barbacoa to shame! I just wish that the employees could show a little bit more respect to the non speaking spanish crowd. I think it would go a long way in making the lunch line even longer! Again, I love your establishment, I just see some things that could really tick some people off. I hope you can see this review from a weekly customers point of view. It's not like I had one bad experience and never went back. Your food is what keeps me coming back, my brief dealings with your employees is a hurdle to get to the prize... my Carne Adoavaodo and Carne Assada!
