Lone Star Fajita Grill

If you want 5 star a$$ kissing and ridiculously overpriced meals, keep driving to E.B. Greens. If you want a fantastic no-nonsense quick and delicious meal from a brilliant little hole-in-the wall local secret, go to The Lone Star. This place is as Buffalo as you can get without chicken wings or weck, it's ambience is perfect for its location and food speaks for itself. I recommend the Loco Burger,
I have yet to come across such a beautiful and bizarre combination, and I look for these sorts of things on the regular. There are rifles hanging on the wall and there is grease soaked into the potato wedges, but I wouldn't trade any of it for anything, this is the real deal and worth the trip. I loved this place as a drunken twenty-something and still stand by it now, I'll be taking my two kids there very soon...

Good, Good. This is an Awesome little place. The food was very good and we will be returning soon. I will let all my friends know about this hidden little gem. Thank you.

A complete dump!. But the food is GREAT!

Very cheap but good food. The quesadillas are awesome and so is the chicken taco salad. Highly recommend trying.

My Favorite Hole in the Wall!. At first glance Lone Star is merely a scuzzy hole in the wall and anybody driving by it who was just passing through buffalo would not even consider stopping in. but for those who were born and raised in buffalo and have an affinity for good food know, that Lone Star Fajita grill is a hidden gem. Luckily my parents, who when were younger had to cut a corner or two found this little place at the blah end of hertel avenue in north buffalo, as it changed my opinion of mexican food forever.
There are two things about me you need to know. First of all, I have spent a lot of time in different parts of latin america, I have been to Mexico, and actually lived in South America for some time. As far as I am concerned, mexican cuisine trumps that all of the rest of Latin America, both the islands and continental. The second thing you must know about me is that I have been cooking since the day i could hold a spatula or whisk to help my mom in the kitchen. That being said I will continue with the review.
Most people when looking for mexican around north buffalo would quickly go to Gramma Mora's at the hustling and Bustling mid section of Hertel. Yes it might be more authentic, but I just don't believe it is that good and to be honest it is a bit overpriced. The real deal, granted that of Tex-Mex cuisine, is that tiny little "hole in the wall" Lone Star Fajita Grill. It wins my vote for many reasons.
When you approach the restaurant and enter it you are faced with about 4 tables with plastic outdoor chairs, a self serve soda machine and salsa stand, and an open kitchen and cash register. most people stick to take out but i like the outdoor furniture indoors feel. Since I have been going for years it makes me feel warm and fuzzy, along with ooey gooey melted bacon and cheese quesadillas or the unbelievable smokey carmelized onions that come on the fajitas that to this day I can not replicate in my kitchen. Need something on the side? how about a classic such as refried beans with melted cheese on top and finally the must have, their homemade guacamole. You just better hope that they havent run out because they refuse to serve unfresh preservative filled prepackaged garbage.
All in all you really can not go wrong with Lone Star. Many items on the menu might tempt you but I am telling you.. the steak or chicken fajitas, with extra onions and guac, with a bacon-cheese quesadilla is the way to go, and you will not go home unhappy. I wish more people knew about this gem. Hell, I wish I could franchise this gem, but then again, it would never be quite as precious.

Viva Lone Star Fajita Grill!

Want to go into someone's kitchen and get a nice home cooked meal. Want to feel like you are at their kitchen table and they are whipping things up in the other room? Come on over to Lone Star Grille. The food here is really good. it also is clean and makes you feel like you ate something healthy. This place also has a salsa bar. They put their hearts into it here.

Excellent food at great prices. My wife and I frequently order from there or eat in. Lots of great vegetarian options, great guacamole, and friendly staff. Definitely a casual place - the decor and setup makes it feel like a fast food restaurant. Also while the food is great - the menu could use some more options (instead just of variations of the same thing, i.e. - 8 different types of burritos or tacos).

If you like Tex-Mex, you'll like Lone Star. Good food, good prices, dive-ish atmosphere. What's not to like? My favorites are the fajitas, but it's all good.
