Lone Star Taco Bar is a vibrant, wood-paneled cantina dishing out hearty modern Mexican street tacos, refreshing cocktails, and a chill late-night vibe.
"Lone Star is open until 1 a.m. daily, both at its original Allston location and its Cambridge outpost. As the name suggests, the menu is mostly focused on tacos, although there are a few other options too, such as Frito pie, torta Milanesa, and cheesy, saucy piles of nachos." - Eater Staff
"How about a casual taco dinner at Lone Star Taco Bar in Allston? It’s especially welcoming if you’re in the mood for a late-night date or a stellar hidden patio. Get some margaritas, too. A second location in Cambridge has an identical menu." - Celina Colby, Dana Hatic, Erika Adams
"Hit taco bar Lone Star pulls the best flavors from many regions of the taco world — Austin, Dallas, Los Angeles, Mexico City, and Oaxaca. The tender pork in the carnitas taco comes topped with bright salsa verde and queso fresco. Other standout tacos include the gooey chorizo fundido, as well as a couple of variations on the fish taco." - Celina Colby, Eater Staff
"When beloved Allston bar Deep Ellum closed in 2020 after a 13-year run, its sibling and neighbor, Lone Star Taco Bar, expanded into the space — including the popular patio hidden out back — so all was not lost. Frozen margaritas and beef barbacoa tacos in the great outdoors, tucked away from the busy street? Yes, please." - Eater Staff
"Hit up Lone Star for some of the city’s best tacos paired with a robust cocktail menu, including multiple takes on a margarita (six different styles, to be exact!). Lone Star is one of the few food spots in Allston that stays open past midnight, so if you have a late-night, post-drinks hankering for tacos and guac, you have until 12:30 a.m. to place an order before the kitchen closes." - Lala Thaddeus, Terrence Doyle
