Lone Star Taco Bar

Our first time here and already can't wait to come back! Everything we tried was really tasty and flavorful. Service was great and we enjoyed sitting outside. All our dishes were plated beautifully. Also was super kid friendly which is always a plus! I especially loved the Baja fish taco!

The inside is simple and dark, small space but still a good amount of tables and also patio space! Food came pretty quick, service was friendly and efficientI got the carnitas taco and beef barbacoa taco! Both were pretty filled with meat, had good flavor combos and were very tender. I personally liked the carnitas more. And the corn tortillas for both are nice and soft! A bit pricey (each was a bit more than $6) but still filling enough.

I was looking for a light meal for dinner and came upon this place. Tacos! Yes! Exactly what I needed. I could choose just the right amount. So I did!I decided to try the Carnitas and the Barbacoa. Both were great! And also ordered a side of chips and guac. Perfection! Everything tasted great!

Late night eats this is the place you want to go. The restaurant has good seating and better food.It wasn't busy when we got there and the staff was nice. We were seated and served in about 20 mins. The elote was top notch!! 10/10 recommend it was buttery and delicious.

Quick service, and amazing food! Get the birria! The carnita's are solid too! And definitely get the flan!!!

Growing up in Texas and recently moving to New England from Colorado I have been DYING to find some authentic Mexican food. This fits the bill and then some. We started with a large bowl a fresh guacamole and chile con queso, both of which were fantastic, especially because of the chips! The pictures don't do it justice because it was dark inside and I didn't want to use a flash but the nachos were unreal. So happy I ordered them and they're much bigger than it looks!We ordered several different street tacos to try. The pork carnitas came out on corn, also very delicious and the breakfast tacos you could get with or without chorizo. These are pictures without but they have an avocado crema which is just fabulous.I love the cute atmosphere. My only complaint is sitting near the window there is a mean draft that comes in and hits you on the back of your legs. It's enough that made it uncomfortable while we were sitting so I would say they could fix that but otherwise go early because they're popular and have limited seating! I'll definitely be back!

Omg!! Flying in from LA this was a recommendation from the receptionist @ the Fairfield Marriott. This was delicious!! Tacos are all amazing robust in flavor! Service was fantastic , and fast! Thank you to all the staff our dinner was delicious!

Cozy spot! Came at 10pm on a Wednesday and it wasn't too busy. Sat at the bar and received the menus quickly. Food came out fairly quickly but we didn't order too much. A bit pricey for a tacos. $5-$6 for one ‍We ordered:Barbacoa tacos - DELICIOUS! Great flavor. Would get it again.Birria tacos - Quite bland. I think my expectation was higher after the barbacoa tacos. The consume lacked flavor. Carnita taco - Scale 1-5, would give it a 3. Hints of the flavor but could've use some salt. The tortilla could've been more crisp. Overall 3.5/5. Taco flavors weren't too bad but I think it was a bit pricey per taco. Service was great and the spot is cute. They open till 1AM so not a bad spot if everything else is closed.

I've been here 3 times now and the first two times had me wanting to come back for more! Unfortunately, this most recent trip wasn't as good. The vibe is always fun and lively and the bar menu is great. We ordered the chips and queso ( and it was really good and had a spice kick). I ordered the grilled avocado taco and the mushroom taco. The avocado taco was okay but a little light in flavor and the mushroom chorizo taco was super super salty.

Lone Star is a unique place in Cambridge... a hot-spot for happy hour, approachable and delicious ala carte menus, and a BANGIN' brunch option (if that's your thing). I've been here a number of times and each time I discover something new and interesting. They are constantly tweaking the menu and offering items that used to be "late night only" (such as the Frito/Taco Pie) to the regular menu. It's not fancy/upscale type of place but feels more like an upscale bar or dive that serves up great food, has a fantastic menu of libations, and will not leave you yearning for more or that you need to stop somewhere else for a 2nd meal. If I lived in a closer proximity, this would be one of my regular staples - however, when I'm in the area I can't say anything really bad about Lone Star. The prices per taco are pretty standard for the area, but if you are expecting an enormous serving size ala Chipotle or Anna's... this is not the place for you. They are the smaller taco shell but stuffed with high quality ingredients and toppings. Is it worth the price? Yes... unless you expect the 3# of tex-mex food plated for under $10/plate. However, if you are looking to create a meal that is varied and will satiate you at a reasonable cost this is the place for you!
