What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Lone Chicharron Taqueria is celebrated for its delicious and fresh Mexican fare, with rockfish tacos and flavorful vegetarian options being standout favorites. While many praise the fast service and unique salsa selection, some find the prices a bit high for the portion sizes, and seating can be limited during peak times. The unique music choice has also been noted as a minor drawback for some diners.
"lovely place to stop for tacos. love that they carry pacifico as well!! everything was delicious but the vegetarian taco was actually our favorite!! roasted corn. rice and beans are not your normal “slop” side here, they are very good."
Mimi
"Very good tacos! My personal favorite are the Rock Fish, tacos with beans and rice. The carne asada tacos are pretty darn good as well.
This is a small restaurant, but they have plenty of tables.
The customer service is good and the food comes out pretty fast.
One of my new favorite places to come for dinner when I’m working in Seward."
Jason Williams
"Awesome rockfish tacos! The best bang for your buck in Seward, super reasonably priced. Service was great and very fast order fulfillment! Tacos were so good we had to order more!
They also have a cooler with cups for free water which was a nice touch.
We didn’t check this place out until the last day of our trip, but if we had been there sooner we would have been back!"

The Cookery branched out in summer 2019, opening The Lone Chicharron, a taqueria on busy Fourth Avenue next door to my favorite Seward bar, the Seward Alehouse.
