Welcome to the Lone Star Cantina
— a bold, fresh reimagining of our Whitby location.

We've evolved beyond the classic Texas grill into a vibrant, modern Tex-Mex experience unlike anything else.

A person with pink manicured nails sprinkling seasoning from a small white bowl onto sizzling beef fajitas served on a black cast iron skillet. The fajitas contain sliced steak, colorful bell peppers, and onions topped with white cheese and purple cabbage. A wooden serving tray with small bowls of various salsas and accompaniments is visible in the background.

To bring our new concept to life, we partnered with celebrity chef Matt Basile, who has crafted an exciting new menu filled with elevated Tex-Mex favourites. From our signature sizzling fajitas—now amped up with bold new flavours—to house-smoked applewood meats and fresh batch-prepped ingredients, every bite delivers unforgettable flavour.

Three colorful cocktails arranged on a wooden surface: a copper mug with pink drink and mint garnish on the left, a pineapple-shaped white ceramic mug with green geometric pattern and Patrón tequila logo containing a red-rimmed drink with lime wedges in the center, and a tall glass with layered pink and clear liquid garnished with mint on the right.

Our drink game is just as strong. We teamed up with one of Canada’s top mixologists, Alysha Chiappetta, to design a beverage menu that shines. Enjoy handcrafted margaritas (frozen or on the rocks), an impressive selection of top-shelf tequilas, zero-proof cocktails, and a curated lineup of Mexican lagers and Ontario-brewed IPAs.

The space features wooden tables with black chairs, exposed ceiling beams with hanging pendant lights, large windows providing natural light, and decorative elements including hanging plants and framed artwork on brick walls. Television screens are mounted throughout the dining area, and the space has an industrial-modern aesthetic with warm lighting.
