" I often stop by Red Star after work for a quick bite with friends. The happy hour specials are fantastic! I enjoyed the cantonese shrimp taco, which was a pleasant surprise for a place focusing on Mexican cuisine! They have a robust drink menu which pairs well with their inventive taco offerings. The setting is cozy, perfect for unwinding after a long day. Highly recommend you check it out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Red Star with a group for a Saturday night dinner, and although it was busy, the staff handled it well. My friends enjoyed their food, but I found myself craving more authentic options. The atmosphere is lively, suitable for a fun gathering, and the drinks were delicious and refreshing—especially the house margarita. It's a friendly place, but for someone looking for authentic Mexican cuisine, I might suggest another spot. Still, the experience was fun overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was initially worried about the authenticity when I saw the menu, especially with creative taco options like the Philly cheese steak taco. However, I decided to give it a shot and was truly impressed! The flavors worked so well together, and it provided a fun twist on traditional tacos. The bartenders were super friendly, creating a fantastic experience. It’s a great spot to hang out with friends after work, but don’t expect the most typical Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Red Star Taco Bar for the first time and was blown away by how delicious the tacos were! The shrimp taco was a standout for me, full of fresh flavors and cooked perfectly. The atmosphere was lively, and I loved the music they had playing while we dined. My only complaint would be the seating was a bit tight, but that just added to the energetic vibe of the place. I'll definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Red Star after reading glowing reviews online, and I can now see why it’s so loved! I ordered the carne asada taco, which came highly recommended—and it lived up to the hype. Really fresh ingredients and the flavor profiles were well balanced. The atmosphere was great for a night out, perfect for socializing. Can't wait to come back and try some of their other quirky taco options! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had my doubts going into Red Star given its title as a taco bar rather than a traditional restaurant, but I was pleasantly surprised. Their fusion approach to tacos opens up a world of exciting flavors! However, when it comes to traditional authenticity, they do fall short. The shrimp taco was delightful and paired beautifully with the house salsa, but at the end of the day, it was more of a culinary experience than a cultural one. Excellent service, nonetheless! " (*Curated Review*)

" Red Star Taco Bar came highly recommended by a friend, and it did not disappoint! I loved that they have a variety of taco options, each one more unique than the last. The honey sriracha tofu taco perfected the balance of flavors while the drinks were refreshing. The space felt cozy and inviting, making it easy to settle in for the night. I can't wait to bring my family back to experience it soon! " (*Curated Review*)
