Dos Diablos Taco Bar

Dos Diablos Taco Bar is a dual concept spot that sits right next to Two Saints Tavern. The two businesses are owned by the same team and share a general manager and chef, per Eater Boston.
On the taqueria side, tacos can be filled with carnitas, carne asada, shrimp, chicken and more. Ceviche is also available, along with numerous cocktails, sangrias and beer to wash it all down.

Yelper Patrick O., who reviewed the newcomer on June 9, wrote, "Tacos? Check. Tequila? Check. Sexy atmosphere? Check. I would choose this over any other place in the area every day!"
Dos Diablos Taco Bar is open from 4 p.m.–2 a.m. daily. Kitchen is open until midnight.
Burro Bar South End
1357 Washington St., South End
Burro Bar South End is as much tequila-centered cocktail bar as Mexican food spot.
The bar boasts more than 100 tequilas, served straight or in cocktails like the margarita. The dinner menu is heavy on tacos (beef tongue, Baja-style fish, shrimp, etc.) but also tempts with appetizers like Mexican street corn and entrees like lobster enchiladas.
Burro Bar South End's current Yelp rating of four stars out of 16 reviews indicates the newcomer is finding its way.
Yelper Hope N., who reviewed the bar and eatery on June 9, wrote, "I'm hard to impress when it comes to Mexican food but this place was phenomenal. I didn't even get to take a photo of our food because it was so good we devoured it like a pack of hangry wolves."
Kim P. noted, "Decent drinks, below average and overpriced food. We got the ceviche, roasted beets, carnitas tacos and shrimp tacos. I wouldn't go back for any of the food I ordered."
Burro Bar South End is open from 5–11 p.m. on weekdays and from 10 a.m.–11 p.m. on weekends. Note weekend brunch hours: 10 a.m.–3 p.m.
Naco Taco on Newbury
354 Newbury St., Back Bay
Naco Taco on Newbury is a food truck parked on Newbury Street in Back Bay. As you might expect, the menu is to the point — tacos and tortas (sandwiches) plus sides.
Meats range from cochinita pibil (Yucatan-style pork) to chorizo, but smoked tofu will keep vegetarians happy. Ordering is available online.
Naco Taco on Newbury currently holds four stars out of five reviews on Yelp, indicating good reviews.
Yelper Anna X., who visited the truck on May 31, wrote, "Conveniently parked right on Newbury Street, they attract lots of customers and offer quick, efficient service. If you're looking for bold flavors, I'd recommend the bistec and chorizo tacos."
Maggie Y. noted, "The tacos were quite large and good value. The fried cod taco was delightfully crispy but the pulled pork was a little heavy for my taste. Really quick service as well."
Naco Taco on Newbury is open from 11 a.m.–8 p.m. daily.
