An old DFW favorite is making a comeback in McKinney: Tin Star, now Tin Star Tacos & Tequila, has re-emerged, bringing nostalgic favorites, fresh recipes, and its new aesthetic to 8801 El Dorado Pkwy., Ste. 100, former home to Maple Street Biscuit Company, which closed in 2025.
The reboot, as anticipated, resurrects best-sellers from the original 1999 menu, including the iconic Cheeseburger Taco, along with new takes on Tex-Mex plus weekend brunches, according to a press release.
Years before Torchy’s, Revolver, Velvet Taco and other concepts creating colorful and over-the-top tacos entered the market, Tin Star was trailblazing Dallas' gourmet-taco scene.
Leading the Tin Star revival is Tin Star co-founder and CEO of Reach Hospitality Rich Hicks and operating partner Aaron White, whose resume includes Nick & Sam's and Mooyah Burgers. White was the first franchisee when Hicks co-founded Mooyah in the 2000s.
