Fodor's Expert Review Lone Star Taqueria

You can't miss this tiny lime green joint, marked by an old sticker-covered car off Fort Union Boulevard and often packed with skiers from the nearby Cottonwood canyons. The kitchen serves tasty, inexpensive Mexican food—including house special fish tacos, handmade tamales, burritos, and plenty of chilled Mexican beer. It seats less than 50, but there's a handy drive-through window for takeout if scoring a table proves challenging.
