Late Night Burrito Joint in Harvard Square by Kristofer Jenson

Felipe's Taqueria is a comedown destination after hitting some Harvard bars. A HUGE perk that it's open late, 2 am Thu-Sat and midnight all other days.

Long gone are the days where you'd go to Harvard Square and make an event of it, with all of the colorful characters, unique shops and endless opportunities for adventure (with a hint of danger). To this day I feel strange taking a shortcut through what was once "the Pit," having previously been home to some of Boston's finest and most dignified outcasts.

In the years following the first Abercrombie opening, it seemed the only reason Harvard Square existed for me was the 86/66 to Red Line connection. I was so used to mentally screaming "SELL OUT!" every time I passed by that I didn't notice that it still has some life to it (even if that life is more boring) with some new bars, excellent restaurants and Charlie's Kitchen still thriving.
