"Lone Star, with locations in Cambridge and Allston, features Mexican street food by way of Texas and California — plenty of tacos (try the chorizo fundido or the Dallas spicy beef), plus Frito pie, grilled street corn, and more. Going for brunch, served 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily? Don’t miss the jalapeno corn cakes. Both locations open at 11 a.m. daily and close at midnight (Cambridge) or 1 a.m. (Allston)." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
