Wow! Great Italian restaurant with both a gas fired a brick oven. Large menu. Great staff. Best of all: one of only 56 D.O.C certified pizzerias in the entire United State. Certified genuine Napoletana style pizza - the original!

Favorite Dish: Certified Pizza, of course! Margherita! Try the Caprese Salad also!

The food is mediocre, and a little pricey. You won’t be hungry however with their portions. The waiters and waitresses are always dressed in Texas colors and cowboy hats. The view of the river is ideal (if you can sit outside). I do not bring people here to eat however as there is better food to be had in the city. I bring them here however for their prickly pear margaritas! You can get coupons on their website for better deals on their food and drinks.

Favorite Dish: Prickley Pear Margaritas!!! It is actually a cactus not a pear; and I have not had a better margarita of this type anywhere. Their is a wonderful clean crisp and sweet flavor to the drink with a very refreshing and fresh after taste.

A hopping place with reasonable parking; the lines move quick. You order your food at one place and get a number and have a seat in the often packed main dinning room or patio until your number is called. The fries are great and a large is enough to share with many others.

Favorite Dish: The fries.

I cringe whenever i am taken to a Cantina or a Taco Bar when I request a Mexican Restaurant. This town is full of tex-mex fast food joints and some wanna be mexican restaurants and others rather with bling. I wanted to have a nice mexican meal at a restaurant with ambience and good service and SOLUNA fitted the bill very well.
Even at 6 pm on a Sunday the parking lot was full. I was seated quickly at a corner seat with a goo view of what is happening. The place was full with people celebrating. Service was brisque and polite and friendly.
One thing to note was that none of the diners were mexicans or mexican americans, most of them were middle class white people and some well heeled people.
the menu is mexican rather than tex mex with some emphasis on the eastern seaboard, tampico, veracruz and puebla, each state represented with their name dishes.

Favorite Dish: I did not have that obligatory margarita, or the mojito they were offering but chose a glass of sauvignon blanc. the wine selection is next to non existent given the cuisine which goes better with margarita or beer. The wine tasted a California one.
Lobster Enchillada with rice and sweet plantains. I wanted to try a lobster enchillada since it has never occured to me during visits to other places. there were many dishes i wanted to try but i knew that with crisps with sauce which arrived promptly, and the wine, my stomach wouldnt have much space left for another dish, however small
I liked the fact that the dishes were presented well and that they were not huge in proportion.
The average dish is between 15 to 20 dollars each so it makes them more expensive than normal, perhaps an explanation of the lack of diversity of diners.
Pleased with the service, Florencio, Gracias..

Nice and elegant place still guests don't need to be classy dressed, casual is welcomed too.
Great food, tender cooked steaks, fantastic spiced vegetable, great service. Very attentive waiters. I though thought our seats were a little uncomfortable since we sat on a couch pretty low, table instead was pretty high. Nevermind, their menu is too good to not try a bite there.

Had caesar salad with ranch dressing, water & lemon, and a Budweiser taken at the restaurant's terrace. Beautiful spot their outdoor seats. Then later that evening, at the restaurant's piano bar, an entertaining dude were playing piano for a couple on their honeymoon, with their ten or so of buddies, surrounding them. Very funny, almost like a stand up comedy.

Lonestar Cafe/Restaurant is an awesome place, truly terrific, truly Texan, family friendly, and generally friendly with any of their customers. In addition they do live music. When I was there, they had a great dude doing some great country tracks. I was welcomed to chose a song, and he actually played Trace Adkins. Place is quite packed and popular. Food is fantastic! Had a Lone Star Country fried steak, well done yet very tender. Additionally caesar salad with ranch dressing, strawberry lemonade. All absolutely awesome.
