Expert notes
- They serve brunch on weekends with menu items like Horchata french toast, big star Delux, big star burrito, avocado toast, and more. Every Big Star tortilla is hand-pressed. It is a perfect place to go with friends for a casual meal and great-tasting tacos, whiskey, and beer. This place is trendy for its patio dining and fun vibe. Pescado, Papas Con Rajas, Camarones Fritos, and Al Pastor tacos are customer favorites. They go well with Margharita.
