“My husband and I went to Lone Star Taco Bar for the first time tonight. The service was quick, friendly, and efficient! Our waiter answered all our questions and took great care of me with my food allergies! I felt totally safe!! The food was packed with so much flavor and everything just melts in your mouth! The guacamole was literally the best I’ve ever had in my life and the tacos were flavorful and fresh!! We wanted to try one of everything so we will definitely be back. The ambiance is welcoming and I loved the decor. 10/10 stars!!“

“Excellent Food & Vibes!

​Great vibes all around! Both the indoor area and the patio are perfect for catching up and having a beer with friends. The indoor decoration is absolutely beautiful...

​The food was fantastic too. We ordered the tortilla chips with guacamole and the chicken quesadilla. Everything came out pretty fast and tasted delicious.

​Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for good Mexican food and a beautiful setting!“

“Great food, service and atmosphere.“

“THIS IS IT!!! As a San Diegan I have tried everywhere in boston and enjoyed great Salvadoran, Honduran, and Puerto Rican food but have not found great Baja Mexican or even good Mexican in general that remind me of home. This is the spot. This brought tears to my eyes on homesick day. I just need them to sell carne asada in their catering section or by the pound and I’d purchase weekly. Thank you for your service 🫡 this is truly the one thing I’m missing in my life having moved to Boston.“

“Carnitas nachos by the beach during sunset: a feast for the senses. Hands down, best nachos!! The tender, flavorful pork atop crisp, cheesy nachos is a match made in heaven. Add the salty sea breeze and the stunning colors of the sunset, and you have a bite of bliss in a breathtaking setting.“

“Their AL Pastor tacos are excellent my goto.“

“I really wanted to give this restaurant 5 stars because their veggie taco, quesadilla, and all of their salsas were so good. However, the veggie tamales were sadly quite dry and had too much corn for the amount of filling.

I will certainly be back because everything else was too tier. I’d highly recommend checking this place out, but based on my experience today, avoid the veggie tamales.“

“Located inside 100 Federal Street in Boston’s Financial District, Amber Road Bar & Grille is a modern restaurant and lounge designed around after-work gatherings, business lunches, and downtown nightlife. The space is known for its dramatic interior, featuring an open display kitchen, rotisserie ovens, a large cherry blossom tree at its center, and a long cocktail bar. The menu draws inspiration from a range of global flavors while maintaining a polished American brasserie feel, making it a popular destination for office workers, visitors, and private events in one of Boston’s most recognizable skyscrapers. #Boston #FinancialDistrict #BostonRestaurants #Foodie #BostonLife“

“El mejor lugar para pasar en familia y amigos deliciosa comida y excelente atención al cliente“

“Good location in Davis Square“

“Delicious home cooked meals. Good prices. Check them out 🔥🔥“

“We were in Boston doing some construction work, and for two weeks we searched for a place to satisfy our appetites—until the day we finally found Mana Grill. I highly recommend it: the salads are delicious, and the sandwiches and smoothies are all spectacular. It offers a Christian atmosphere, and everything is super clean. I definitely recommend it.“

“Found this place while driving and gave it a try. I was not disappointed. The staff are very friendly, the resturant is clean and cozy, the food was amazing. I have a hard time finding Mexican restuants that have all the things I like, but Dora Taqueria had it all. Got birra tacos, with street corn and chicarone with guac. Horchata was also delicious. I will return and tell everyone I know to come to this place to satisfy their cravings.“

“Never disappointed! Both locations always get it right“

“I love it!!! Hidden gem. Food is really tasty and I feel I’m eating something really healthy. FISH TACOS MY FAVORITE“

“Best burritos in the Boston area. Better than Anna's and Boca grande“

“First time, wife and I had chicken nachos and tacos de birria. Everything was delicious and great. Definitely going back and this is our new place 😊“

“I love Taqueria El Barrio! Their tacos are delicious and the service is great.❤️

Their tortillas are handmade which really differentiates them from other places.

Pro Tip: You can purchase their tortillas at Formaggio and store them in your freezer. I always have a pack around my home and use them to make quesadillas.“

“Food allergy sensitive. I’m allergic to mustard and cucumbers and they are sensitive to these allergies. Just remember to ask.“

“we have frequently ordered out from them however I refuse to give them any more buisness as of today, we have never had any issues in the past . my husband paid 40 dollars for a taco tray , and upon opening the tray I noticed my chorizo tacos where burnt. to the point I couldn't even attempt to feed them to my dog. Im not sure if that was given to me on purpose because when I went to pay for my food I was commenting to the cashier about the large significant price increase and asked if I could receive my receipt so that I could verify the charges .I understand prices are going up because of whats going on , however the original taco tray typically comes with rice and beans, I was aware that because they where operating out of a taco truck I wouldnt receive that and I was ok , I just was not informed of the significant price increase that was a larger amount.The cashier had a attitude about it and scoffed and wrote me a receipt that read 40$ taco tray. I was already upset , so to go home and see that some of the tacos where severely burnt really upset me . I personally texted the owner and expressed to the owner that its not fair to work hard and pay for a service to feed your family and half of the food is charred. as of today I will no longer patronize this poor excuse of an establishment. I never got a response back and that speaks volumes about the owner . If you desire attitude and burnt piss poor quality then Tacos El primo on college street is the jackpot. attached are pictures of one of the burnt tacos and a screenshot showing that I reached out to show them the quality of food , In no way shape or form was I disrespectful or using any type of profanity in my text although I was upset, never got a response back .“

“I can't believe I hadn't been here sooner!! Stopped for take out for the first time this week and service was quick, warm and friendly.

I beelined it for the BIRRIA TACOS which had excellent reviews online and I now agree and award Dora's with the OVERALL BEST COMBO AWARD (if there was one 😂).

Amazing. Filled (yes, filled) with juicy meat, no meat fat to ruin a random bite of your food, cheese and all other simple, delicious goodness. Then, the consume is actually perfectly tasty 😭 you'll want to dip your tacos in it constantly just bc you couldn't possibly think of letting it go to waste!

Looking forward to many returns 😉

P.s. Sweet plantains on the side is the cherry on top 😋“

“everything ist fine there“

“We were visiting the area to attend graduation and had brought our small dog. The restaurant accommodated our dog by allowing us to sit outside. It started to rain but the server quickly rolled down the awning and no one got wet. I'm addition to their excellent hospitality, the food was delicious. Our group tried the burger with egg, chicken and waffles, pork bahn mi and crab cakes. Fantastic experience to top off a wonderful graduation weekend!“

“Salsa Mexican thx so much for the stunning food wide open sitting space and the diffrent atmosphere of friendly and helpful waiters. I truly enjoyed the milkshake with chillie its like a scorpio sting in the mouth, smooth and tasty, the next warm and mouth and throat on fire!!!! The platter that were served just sooooo lekker and appetizing you will see us soon“

“Amazing food and great service. We tried this cozy little restaurant last week and can not stop talking about how amazing the food is, especially the Chicken Nachos! Everything is made fresh, and not smothered in cheese so it is healthier but not lacking any flavor. We can’t wait to go back.“

“Great atmosphere, friendly service, and AMAZING food. We drove an hour to try it, and are already making excuses to come back to try the delicious sounding brunch menu.“

“We hired Mi Corazon Taqueria for our customer appreciation event. Everyone loved the food and the service. They are professional and friendly and their food trailer is spotless. Food was amazing! Highly recommend.“

“excelente lugar se encuentran artículos hispanos que no están a la mano en cualquier lugar. se los recomiendo excellent place to find Hispanic articles that are not available anywhere. I highly recommend them.“

“Absolutely criminal that this place only has 3.5 stars. I went here April 3rd & April 28th before going to house of blues for a concert. Hit both times. Is it expensive? Yes, but when has sushi from a restaurant been cheap? When has eating out in a city been cheap? Value is there. I really talked this place up and when I brought my SIL there the second time we went and she agreed. Her word was “impressive”. If this place was closer to home I would have a budget problem. Nori tacos are a “can’t miss” and the avocado roll is the best I’ve ever had. Seriously good eats.“

“Tacos are my favourite food and these, by far, are the best tacos I’ve ever had.“

“This is a hidden gem. I've passed this restaurant many times and finally tried it today before the dinner crowd started to come in. The interior is larger than it seems from the outside. It's well decorated, clean, and the tables aren't all crowded next to each other. The food was very good as well as pricing. The portions are decent. I read some comments about carnitas but despite the negative comments we tried the carnitas tacos, they were really good and we would definitely recommend them. They have a back room with a bar. I recommend this place for the food, ambiance, and price. The service was good. Waiter and staff are very friendly.“

“My food was fantastic the service was quick and the workers were nice. It's simply held back by the fact it's a city location so it is much smaller of a store with less seating when compared to it's larger sister stores in suburban and rural areas“
