This Texas-inspired tacos-and-tequila bar has two locations in Allston and Cambridge and two varieties of fish tacos always on the menu. Baja Fried Fish supplies the classic crunch of battered fish, matching local whitefish in a tangy, beer-soaked coating with pickled cabbage and mango-habanero aioli. Veracruz Fish features spice-rubbed grilled perch accented with a creamy avocado crema, smoky salsa quemada, and the refreshing crunch of cabbage. Can’t decide which sounds more delicious? You don’t have to choose. All of Lone Star’s excellent tacos are available all day, every day, from brunch straight on through late-night.

Many have said that Taqueria Jalisco makes the best tacos in Boston. Simply prepared and served with a selection of house-made salsas on the side, this Eastie spot certainly serves some of our favorites. Among them are authentic Tacos de Pescado: corn tortillas full of grilled tilapia, chopped cabbage, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. The mild fish is the perfect vehicle for Jalisco’s tempting condiments such as the verdant-green avocado sauce, the zesty tomatillo salsa, and smoky-red chile sauce. Order up a three-taco combination plate, which also comes with sides of rice and beans, to try them all.

Angela’s Cafe is popular enough to fill two East Boston storefronts—in  Eagle Hill and Orient Heights—with much more than typical Mexican restaurant fare. Angela’s continues its late namesake’s legacy of serving authentic cuisine originating from the country’s Puebla region, from Mole Poblano to Pipian Verde, an entree named for its distinctive green sauce. There are enchiladas, fortifying chilaquiles, and enticing seafood dishes aplenty. That said, Angela’s offers seriously awesome tacos that we can never resist ordering. Served on doubled-up homemade corn tortillas, we love the Tacos de Tilapia with fresh fish fillet, avocado, and creamy chipotle sauce; as well as the Al Pastor and Shrimp Tacos, too.
