Nestled in Allston, Lone Star is redefining Boston tacos, proving there’s plenty of heat to be found. After sampling their barbacoa tacos, Fieri was wowed, remarking on the flavors that echo the essence of Austin and Mexico City.
The establishment focuses on mezcal and tequila, aiming to elevate Mexican street food with complexity and freshness.
3. Señor Sisig — San Francisco
Offering a unique twist, Señor Sisig brings Filipino-American flavors to tacos. With menu items featuring sisig, burritos, and rice bowls, this place, with locations in San Francisco and Oakland, is a fan favorite.
The signature sour pork sisig tacos are particularly popular, gaining praise from both locals and Fieri himself for their bold taste.
4. Garbo’s Grill — Key West, Florida
In the picturesque setting of Key West, Garbo’s Grill serves tacos with influences from both Caribbean and Korean cuisines, featuring options like Korean barbecue beef and fish tacos.
