I tried three tacos, and I'm going back for more! You should too. Pair them with a tasty Cuba Libre. You'll be set for the night. It's a chill vibe with plenty of seating at the bar and tables. There were a bunch of to-go orders too being picked up. The bartender tonight was awesome! read more

Was able to book for a table ahead for a party of ten. It was pretty packed for a weekday night. Very lively for sure. The service was sparse in my opinion and we had to wait for quite a long time to get our orders in and also to get our dishes. I got the birria and baja fried fish tacos. Birria was flavorful and hits all the notes but the baja fish taco was a little dry for me. Make sure you get their specialty hot sauces! read more

El Cruncho Supremo -- Straight Up Fire (Gen X Approved) This thing's got old-school Taco Bell energy with a serious upgrade. Crunchy tostada in the middle, soft tortilla on the outside -- it's like the 90s came back with better ingredients. The spicy beef, queso, and avocado crema all hit different, and that fuego sauce? Yeah, it earns the name. It's messy, loud, unapologetic, and totally worth it. Feels like the kind of food you'd crush after a concert or during a late-night hang with your crew -- but here it's actually done right. Final call: Legit comfort food for anyone who remembers when MTV played music and "Supreme" meant extra flavor, not a brand. read more

I love Lone Star, and when it was connected to Deep Ellum I loved it then too. This place has great eats, great staff, and a fun atmosphere. I love the breakfast burrito with the chorizo, I could eat it everyday with them habanero sauce. It's the best combo of heat and flavor. Their chile quiles is also great, well crisped chips. Kids are allowed here and we have brought our kiddo to the patio many times. They have great margaritas and micheladas. Overall a very impressive place. read more

Overall this place was pretty good. The barbacoa taco, chicken quesadilla and their version of a Crunchwrap were the highlights. I thought these dishes were all super flavorful and yummy. The carnitas, fish and birria tacos didn't stand out to me and I've had better elsewhere. It was pretty cute inside but it's a bit small and you're seated pretty close to the people next to you. I've heard great things about line star so maybe my expectations were too high but I thought it was good not great. read more

If you are looking for a good Marg, some top-notch queso, and a cool vibe- check out Lone-Star.... ! There's a nice little outdoor patio for the warm weather while inside is chill and dimly lit-. There's usually a cool movie or sitcom on to entertain if you happen to be a cool lone-drinker, lone-diner like me. Perhaps I am Lone-dining Star . The drinks, queso, and guac are the best things I have had on the menu but the rest of the food is tasty and fresh. Also, I must try brunch to get full menu spectrum. See ya here! read more

I made my way over to Lone Star after having the queso recommended to me & the queso did not disappoint! However, the rest of our meal being a variety of tacos, were quite underwhelming. Were they good? Absolutely! But, nothing to rave about. Although, my paloma was definitely excellent enough to comment on. The bill ended up coming out to be roughly $70 for 5 tacos, 2 cocktails, and chips & queso. WAY beyond what I expected to pay at this place. The service was great & we were seated promptly on a Monday night, so no complaints there! read more

Was not expecting such good Mexican here, having spent a lot of time in Texas and California. The chorizo taco is so delicious and unique - I've never had one so delightfully cheesy. Definitely memorable and worth coming back for. The carnitas taco was good too but not mind blowing like the chorizo. The corn muffin was enjoyable, including with the guava jam - though it was more a dipping liquid and they gave way too much for the muffin. I liked their super thick, crunchy tortilla chips. read more

The food is delicious and the staff are so friendly. Parking can be tricky but the experience is so worth it.

Been here before but not in a long time, stumbled in here after seeing a great show at Roadrunner to sober up a bit and chow down. Pre planned stopping here with the intention of vegetarian friendly options for my female companion, which isn't always the easiest of tasks when you're hangry. Personally I think it's a teeny bit too dark inside and could use maybe a table candle or lessen the dim, but that's a minor complaint. I opted for water to drink and was pumped they serve breakfast til close! Ayyy! Opted for the breakfast burrito added chorizo, and got a Mexican hot dog considering I hadn't eaten all day and needed to sober up to drive back up to the Nawth Shore. Breakfast buritto hit the spot, dog was good too, but was oddly somewhat cold? Still sent it down the hatch. My homie got some tofu tacos with a cocktail. Looked boss. If you're around this joint, stop in. Always a good move. Thanks Lonestar! read more

This was my first time ordering here. I got the fish tacos to-go, which tasted good, but they aren't anything special, especially for the price. The servicing was excellent and prompt, a woman greeted me and helped me as soon as I walked in. You can probably make these fish tacos better, at home, for a fraction of the price. It can be a great late night bite, as they are open pretty late, if you're in the mood for tacos and would like the convenience. read more

Came here on a Sunday morning for brunch. It was hard to tell if this venue was open but it turned out it was. We got seated right away and the staff was really friendly. I'm gluten free due to celiac and was able to get the papas con chorizo and the horchata for breakfast. They make their own in house hot sauces- the sweet potato hot sauce was amazing and we are hoping they start selling it so we can by a jar! Will absolutely be back read more

Had heard about this place for years, so glad to finally try it, and also that it lived up to its rep. First and foremost, delicious margs here, and plenty of mezcal, if you are into that. I order birria any time I see it on a menu, and Lone Star delivered; it was wonderfully fatty and rich. A surprise for me though was how good the grilled avocado taco was. I'm not sure I've ever had avocado not raw, but it was downright fantastic - their salsa verde is great in general, so that paired quite well. Certainly a fun spot, and the patio out back for nice weather sure doesn't hurt (although not much of a view). read more

Went to Boston and happy to see this place open late. First off the actual place is really cool, the establishment was tight and cozy and felt really inviting. Our service was okay...they were very busy so I can't really say anything there but our waiter forgot our order twice and also forgot 3 plates for our table. The food was okay. The guacamole was alarming as it was expensive but the bowl only came with a small amount...like VERY small. The tacos were okay and the chips were fine. They're open super late so that's a plus and their drinks are interesting. read more

The tacos at lone star taco are pretty good! My friend and I ordered the Baja fish tacos. Not sure if it's because we were really hungry or they were actually really good. We also got margaritas - they were decent, but not the best. Service was great and the service were friendly. It's easily accessible by the 57 bus and there is street parking outside.

Had a fun time here Friday night. It did not take too long to get in, even though it was clearly very popular. Enjoyed the queso and chile con carne as apps. My favorite taco was the birria for sure- melty and meaty, with a flavorful broth for dipping. Also enjoyed a sip of my boyfriend's El Diablo margarita. Margaritas are definitely the way to go here. The bartender (we sat at the bar) was super attentive. read more

Lone Star Taco Bar - El Diablo Margarita - Bars Near Me - Allston, Massachusetts

We arrived at Boston on a late night flight and after checking into our hotel we were on a hunt for a place to eat around midnight. We struck out on two other places as they were closing and finally arrived here very hungry. This is a nice little hip bar. We ordered fish taco, corn dog and a flan. The food was incredibly good but the portions were ridiculously small. Price can be a bit on the higher side considering the portions, nevertheless we were pretty hungry and totally enjoyed the meal. Service was good. Since we came late in the night, we were able to find parking right in front of the restaurant, although it seemed like it might be hard otherwise during busy hours. read more

I came here on a Friday night for some drinks & apps with my partner. We arrived around 6pm and found seats at the bar without waiting. For drinks we got: Lone Star Mug-arita (8/10): a slightly larger version of their traditional margarita. It was a solid marg, not sure if the size difference is actually saving you money or not. El Diablo (8.5/10): This is a tasty margarita! Honestly, not spicy, but my favorite. The rim was just okay, but it tasted great. Luca Libra (6/10): this was my least favorite. It didn't taste great & the Tajin rim was overwhelming. Also, it was much smaller than the other margaritas, not sure why. For food: Chips & salsa verde (7/10): basic and simple. The salsa was mediocre, but the chips were bottomless and really good. Birria tacos (7/10): meh, they're okay. Not bad, not great. They have 3 "hot sauces", which aren't spicy. I didn't like any of them. I really wanted traditional hot sauce, but they didn't offer any. The bartender was very pleasant and quick. I'd come back to try some tacos, but this wouldn't be my first thought for margaritas. The atmosphere was nice, but filled up very quickly and got super loud. read more

Location is cool, nice outdoor patio etc, but the food is merely "so so." Nothing was "bad" but the fish tacos had a strange "off" taste, the guacamole serving is comically small, etc. read more

Really delicious food and good drinks. The queso is insanely good and served with really good chips too. The fried fish taco goes absolutely bazerk, holy moly. Tried the birria, carnita and barbacoa as well. All are good but the fish is distinctly better. The grilled street corn was super super spicy in my opinion. Idk maybe I'm a baby but it was a bit much. Cool place and friendly staff. read more

Great food little pricy but quality stuff. Stays open late. Service can be hit or miss. Dinner rush they will have a smile on their face, 1 am not so much (understandably). Cute little spot nice bar and tables, decent outdoor seating. Tasty margs and bomb tacos! read more

I ordered the birria tacos, baja fish taco, and beef barbacoa taco. The baja fish was pretty solid and wasn't too fishy/it was meaty too. As for the birria tacos, they were pretty good themselves but the broth/sauce to dip in was very watery and did not taste like anything. The beef barbacoa taco was also kind of tasteless but overall the tacos themselves were good. There wasn't anything too special about the taste but I think it would be good once in a while! I got it delivered so I would like to visit the store in person next time. read more

As I'm writing this review and adding the photos, I all of a sudden want 4 al pastor tacos. That's what these tacos will do to you. You'll keep wanting more! I took off a star because we ordered chips & salsa first as an app but ended up getting them after we finished the rest of the food. I think he forgot to put them in the order. I also wasn't a huge fan of the tostada and wished I had ordered more tacos instead. The avocado with queso taco was so good. The baja taco felt like there was something missing, maybe like a chunky salsa. Overall I'd come back for the tacos and drinks! read more

Popped in late night after playing pool around the corner. Very cool decor and atmosphere. Great spot for a late bar eat or to tuck in a corner. Has the caipirinha spin off and was very good. My friend had a tequila style Negroni that was also very tasty. Had a frito pie! Super appreciated since I hadn't had one since I lived in Indiana !! Even served it in the bag! Tacos were good as well. Had the carnitas, more formed than chopped but still good with the onions. Friend had the Birria that had a fantastic dipping sauce, highlight of the night! read more

Consistently reliable, with attentive, friendly service. Thanks so much for feeding us when we've been too busy to deal, and remaining cheerful even when we're cranky (and not minding if we're working on laptops the entire time). Favorites: grilled fish tacos, avocado tacos, victory nachos, French toast (with extra fruit acquired as a side dish), and the house margaritas. read more

Their grilled corn transported me to my childhood, ratatouille style. I would give that dish alone seven stars. I would order five helpings of it for three people. It was clearly roasted over fire, and made life feel special and beautiful while I ate it. please, owners, never change how you do this The queso dip was the best in its class (yellow cheese rather than white) that I've had in Boston. (for white cheese, go to Felipe's) The Baja fish taco, however... to be fair this dish is is a notorious criminal in the world of delivery food. It almost always arrives soggy with that beautiful crispy batter totally ruined, no matter where you get it from. in short: my complaint, given the fact that this was the dreaded "delivery fish taco" is that nothing comes on it. It was simply a piece of battered fried fish wrapped in a crumbling (albeit delicious) tortilla. each of the ingredients that one would expect either on the taco or on the side of the taco cost extra so instead of a $6 fish taco, I ordered a $10 fish taco. and $.75 is a little bit pricey for 1/3 of one radish or a 1 tbsp of salsa verde. The bottom line is that the corn was so good, I would order again for it alone. But it will never be a go-to for me with this taco pricing model. read more

Ordered 3 tacos the other night, spent $28. One came with 2, but each taco was so small & flimsy. Curious how they would present them on a plate at the restaurant. They all tasted pretty decent, not worth the high price & tiny food. It doesn't take much for me to get full & normally 4 tacos would have me in a food coma. However, 4 tacos from here & I was still hungry. So disappointed! read more

They have a crazy long list for drinks, especially tequila. I feel like that's mainly the reason for the great reviews because food-wise, the menu is quite limited. We've tried the food here a few times now (due to limited options for Mexican food in the Allston area) but we've never been too happy with the end result. We had the victory club nachos, fish taco, avocado taco, chicken ranchero tostada and the elote. The nachos were topped with cotija cheese, cheddar, jalapenos, cabbage and avocado crema. They were very good but felt a little dry without salsa. The fish taco was just okay, it smelled too fishy for my taste. The avocado taco with tofu also was nothing to write about. Their tacos have interesting individual toppings but they don't work together as one dish. The chicken ranchero tostada was tasty but the star of the show was the grilled corn. They slather on the chili lime aioli and that stuff's gooood. It's a small restaurant, not many tables. If you don't want to wait, come earlier in the evening. They don't have a name board, just look for the single star (a.k.a Love Star!). Also make sure you have your id on you, they check it at the door after 7 pm! read more

Def order chips and a dip, chip refills are free and so so good. Guac was good but honestly I don't think they give enough for the $11 so if you are in a larger group you might want to get two orders so everyone gets enough. Also, if you didn't know they serve family style so the tacos come out in groups. That was fine but it got a little questionable when my friend and I each ordered the birria special and it only came with one consume for the two of us. If that's an issue for your group bring it up to the server ahead of time. We didn't mind too much but I see how it can be annoying for some. read more

I had been to lone star in Cambridge a few years ago, and wasn't impressed. But recent takeout from lone star was fantastic- review update it required. Ordered for pickup on Friday. Easy online ordering, and was ready for pick up in 40min. Everything was delicious, particularly the queso and the corn. Unfortunately the taco tortillas were soggy, but to be expected given takeout. Best part of the meal was to-go margaritas! I ordered the El Diablo (spicy mezcal margarita) it was fantastic!! Lone star even provides a spicy salt rim to add to your glasses at home. Overall, very happy with the food and drinks! Definitely would have again soon! read more
