Lone Star Taco Bar – Allston

Lone Star Taco Bar’s Allston menu gives you a reason to order several different tacos. They come one per order, with options such as carnitas, beef barbacoa, mushroom asada and Baja fried fish. The mushroom taco is vegan, and the grilled avocado taco can be ordered with tofu instead of cheese. Start with those distinctions if you’re feeding people with different preferences.

There’s more than tacos: street corn, nachos, tortas and Frito pie make good additions to the table. Margaritas and other tequila- and mezcal-based drinks are a large part of the bar menu. Brunch brings breakfast tacos, huevos rancheros and other egg dishes. This is the Cambridge Street restaurant in Allston, which offers reservations and direct pickup ordering through its website.
