Lone Ranger
Over 40 Tequilas and Chorizo Tacos in Allston
The Super Bowl.
It’s all you can think about. So you need something to divert your attention. And it has to be big.
Like a rustic taco and tequila bar from the Deep Ellum guys big. And yeah, it’s open right now.
Take a gander at
Lone Star Taco Bar, your new Allston home for housemade chorizo tacos, housemade
tortillas and not-so-housemade tequila, now open as of today.
This is a little bit like that bar in
Desperado that Cheech Marin tended... if the lowlifes were
replaced by tequila aficionados... who served up some smoked-brisket
beef barbacoa
tacos (in other words, leave your guitar case full of guns at home).
Obviously, you’ll want to enter with a ferocious appetite. Grab
a vintage wood booth under the giant bison head and begin your south-of-the-border noshing with chips,
made-to-order guac and maybe some Mexican-style grilled street corn. Wash it all down with a michelada: a
Mexican beer and spicy tomato-lime mix (perfect for fighting hangovers... or starting them).
And when it’s time to get serious, you’ll move to the bar and knock back a shot from their
40-plus-strong tequila list. Or their 15-strong mezcal list.
About that bar: it’s a custom, 100% zinc number imported from Eastern Europe.
Eastern Europe. Taco-house supply heaven.
