    Best Tacos in the Boston area! The Mexican street corn is a must have, I crave it on the daily. Be prepared to wait for a table because this place is busy 24/7. The wait is well worth it though!

    Best of Boston 2016: Late-night Restaurant 🌮 :: Chef Rian Wyllie slings tostadas and tacos until 1:30 a.m. Get the grilled street corn — topped with cotija, cilantro, and chili-lime aioli.

    Some favorites from our review: Mexican street corn & carnitas pork tacos. Lone Star's extensive beer, mezcal & tequila menu make a great pairing with their authentic, house-made Mexican street food. Read more

    The beef barboaca taco is amazing. As are the bloody Mary's (seriously the best in boston) but the staff is too standoffish and seemingly judgmental of the diners

    The grilled corn is amazing!!!! A must try for the whole table. Also the Happy Meal is a great deal for your money ... One of the nicest tequila's I've had in a while

    The no-frills menu of tacos, nachos, and chili is paired with a thoughtful list of tequila and mescal here, but a tongue-tingling Dallas spicy beef taco is the star.

    Try the Beef Barbacoa tacos (smoked brisket, pickled red onion, avocado crema) and boozy cocktails like the Chartreuse-rinsed Hombre Sin Nombre mixed with blanco tequila/ mole bitters/ agave. Read more

    I had the tostada and it needed salsa and sauce- it had little flavor. The atmosphere was good and the service was great. My boyfriend had a taco and it was 6/10. Cozy, but crowded.

    They have a special taco: Pork Belly with diced apples & pears, and a poppy seed salsa. Excellent balance of sweet and savory.

    As a Texan visiting Boston, I was not expecting any tex-mex that would be edible. These Texas transplants do justice to it, and then some. Great spot for Texans homesick for good food.

    Awesome Mexican street food and tequilas, way better and cheaper than the fake overpriced Lolitas and seaport 'Mexican' places. Great service too!!!

    Trendy place! Unfortunately no wait space. Had to wait for 30 min in a next door establishment till a table opened up. The grilled corn.. Finger lickin good!

    The Mugarita is an invention of the gods (or, more specifically, one god / bartending genius: Teddy). PS all tacos are amazing.

    The carnitas tacos are the real deal, and the mezcal in the El Diablo marg is a great, smoky touch.

    It's a Mexican place and they were out of queso. Tacos are tiny (but really good). Street corn is amazing. Security guy at the door was weird.

    All tacos are pretty good, but fish tacos are legitimately great. Also go for a pork belly taco if its on special.

    Even chips and salsa is good ; chips are freshly fried and served hot, salsa is roasted and super chunky and flavorful

    The beef barbacoa and avocado tacos are incredible. You'll need to order 2-3 tacos to make a proper meal.

    Try the Paloma cocktail: Mexican grapefruit soda makes this beverage spicy, salty, and incredibly satisfying. The recipe calls for tequila, grapefruit, lime, and a dash of salt. Read more

    They can serve you mezcal in little clay pots here, though I wouldn't necessarily recommend it.

    Do yourself and your waiter a favor: double down on the barbacoa tacos from the get go!!! While technically they aren't really barbacoa they are delicious

    The spicy beef taco is where it is at- crunchy shell, ground beef- it is what Taco Bell would be if it wasn't gross,

    Chorizo taco is delicious. Other items I tried were mediocre. The cruncho has little fillings. (6/10)
