Good, but not sure it's worth the wait and hype. If you can get in without the long wait I'd say go for it.
I came here a second time for a friends birthday. We quickly got sat for ten people at a big table on the patio. They let us reserve the table even though only half of us were there. Service was excellent. Tacos are good. Fish tacos are still my favorite. Margaritas are classic. They even offer skinny margs! Overall, a much better experience.
While I do love dining in at Big Star (especially during the summer if it's possible to sit outside), this review is for the catering services only.
I recently ordered the DIY taco bar + delivery service for a bachelorette party. Â The ordering process was a breeze, Margaret was incredibly helpful. Â More importantly the delivery and packaging was awesome. Â The food was delivered promptly when requested by a friendly driver. Â We ordered the middle package (3 tacos per person for 22 people, chips and guac, and an ensalata Big Star). Â The food was all packaged tightly and all of the toppings were labeled clearly as to which tacos there were supposed to go on. Â The tortillas arrived warm and wrapped to stay that way. Â More importantly, there was SO MUCH FOOD!! Big Star is known for it's affordability and the catering was no different. Â We had insane amounts of leftovers, so my one piece of advice is to order for a few less people than you actually have.
Of course, the food was just as wonderful as it is had it been ordered from the restaurant itself. Â Pastor, pollo & panza were all cooked perfectly.
Would highly recommend their catering services if you need to feed a large group.
