    Came here around 8:00 pm on a Saturday. It was super busy, but we were able to find a table as someone was leaving. You order up at the counter, they were speedy! There’s a bar where you can also order your own drinks, and a small sink to grab water from. I would definitely go back!

    Absolutely awful service! I ordered the tortilla salad, and I didn't get half of the things that it said it had on the menu. When I asked them about it, they said that I should've told them how to make it when they didn't even ask me. They just made it. And she even rolled her eyes when i talked to her! I'm probably never coming back here again and definitely not recommending this place to other people.

    Came to Felipe's today with my family party of 7. Apparently the staff can't handle a large order without getting mad. Got to the register and realized we were missing a super burrito. The lady at the register who had blonde ish hair was very rude. She continued to get frustrated saying she already asked us. When I repeatedly told her we were missing the burrito. She then decided to argue with me. Bad customer service ! We ended up paying and ordering the burrito separate. I then went to sit down and asked the employee by the pickup if I could speak to the manager. He asked me why ? Shouldn't matter why ! I wanted to speak to the manager. That didn't happen. If the manager ends up reading this you should talk to your employees. Your employees continued to talk bad about me. We are all Spanish so of course I understood. I don't know what kind of people you are hiring but this is unacceptable I will never come back and I would like for management to reach out cause it's unbelievable that an employee would do that. Which could have been an easy fix of a mistake instead she wanted to make a big deal. Attached are the photos of the employee

    I love Felipe’s Taqueria. I used to eat here once a week when I lived here a few years ago and I was able to stop in today just like old times. The super burrito is great. I always get roasted veggie, but they have chicken and pork too. You can get half veggie half meat if you want but they charge extra if you get all 3! The roasted veggies are amazing though- roasted asparagus, carrots, peppers and onions that they chop up for you. They charge $1.50 extra for a dollop of guacamole- a bit pricey, but guac usually is. While I didn’t get it this time the trio dip and chips is good: salsa, guac and cheese sauce with chips. They have an impressive salsa bar for free. Pro tip: take the stairs (or the elevator) to the top floor and enjoy the roof top deck! So great in the summer- they have lots of shade, music playing and a full bar up there with lots of tables and chairs to eat your food!

    Felipe‘s is by far the best Mexican restaurant in Cambridge. I’d highly suggest the shrimp burrito. If you’re looking for a night out look no further than their rooftop. Great atmosphere with exceptional service and treat yourself to the frozen margarita.

    Decent and cheap Mexican food. Burrito was pretty good but a bit on the salty side. The tamale was a bit bland overall. The tortilla chips were nice

    Felipe’s is a must visit in Cambridge! The food is phenomenal; it’s an upgraded chipotle without the chain feeling. Upstairs there is a rooftop bar which is a great time, definitely has good energy and you can get drinks up there as well.

    We got the custom bowls at this student approved restaurant during our visit to Boston. Food was really good and we had additional salsa to take from the counter. The place was neat and ambience was good. Just the extra 2$ for guacamole was a bit high. But the bowl came with steaming hot pita. So it was worth it !

    Cheap and incredible burrito. Best I’ve ever had. Fresh ingredients. Great carnitas especially. Good frozen margs - no longer selling pitchers, just 2 glasses/person at each time. Roof deck bar is good ambiance.

    Food was decent for the price, obviously a popular hangout for late night. It was our first time. First there was the guy who asks what we want, I said burrito, and then he quickly tosses a piece of cheese on a tortilla, I tell him I don’t want cheese and he shrugs and blows me off, he does the same thing to my friend who wasn’t paying attention to the situation. Then we try to find seating, there are 5 of us. We find a table next to booth wall seating. There is a table in the corner that has two extra chairs so we grab those. Then some dude who works here walks over and says he needs the chairs and puts them back at the empty table. Preferring two of us stand than us move things around. One of us finds him to ask him what’s the deal with that. He says this place is a restaurant and you don’t go moving furniture around as you wish in a restaurant unless you make a reservation. Like okay Except it’s 1am and this ain’t that type of restaurant when it’s filled with drunk people getting tacos and I can see two other tables that have been moved. Missing you sincerely, common sense.

    Like an elevated chipotle. I ordered a small burrito which was relatively easy to eat while walking around Cambridge. I didn’t think it was anything special, lots of people had the nachos which looked good. Could dine in or get food to go.

    Great tacos, burritos, nachos, and margaritas! This place is constantly packed but the lines move quickly and it’s not difficult to find seating. A great stop for a meal, drink, or snack!

    This place has awesome food and an amazing atmosphere! The burritos are my favorite in the Boston area and the rooftop bar always makes for a fun night! The bar is a little pricey but it's a great place to go on a night out in Harvard Square. This is one of my top recommendations when people ask me where to eat out in Boston. The ingredients are fresh and they have great dining options.

  • 4/5 Jaye Aster B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great happy hour spot for margaritas and moderately sized groups. We had mostly frozen classic but you can always add a fruit purée. The rooftop is very nice. Lines can get long for food. Service is pretty good. Note, if here on a weekend evening the staff charge tip automatically so don’t tip.

  • 5/5 Ece B. 7 months ago on Google
    Everything here is delicious. Best nachos I've ever had in my life and the margaritas are incredible (miss their pitchers though!!!). The people who work here are awesome and do a really good and really quick job under so much pressure as it's always really busy- but don't let the lines deter you!! And absolutely go on the roof deck if the weather is nice! Worth the wait, affordable, high quality ingredients, what more could you want?

  • 5/5 Joo W. 6 months ago on Google
    super delicious fresh ingredients, good flavorful and spicy salsa. i love the tacos, carnitas, al pastor, salsa verde, and horchata. the corn tortillas are so good! the horchata is delicious and lactose free!! the employees work fast, but you may need to wait a bit due to how popular this place is. i love eating on the rooftop too. im happy i found this place. will be back with friends.

    Ordered a Carnitas Burrito $8 (including tax). Not particularly a big fan of Mexican food, because of the amount of NaCl and lack of veg. But walked by this place after our Harvard tour, and my friend said let’s give it a try, it turns out pretty good, the burrito was very juicy, tho it’s a little bit too salty, but overall still taste better than the ones I had in LA, and relatively cheaper. The place has got a nice atmosphere, just that it can get very busy at lunch time.

  • 5/5 Cathrine O. 1 year ago on Google
    I wasn't expecting the tamales to be so good because the taqueria's around me are kind of a disappoint, I got the pork kind, it came hot! Which I absolutely loved. It taste just like the one my moms friend would make us! Felipe's will definitely be a favorite. Delicious :)

    The huevos rancheros were exquisite. Well worth the visit for breakfast. The chefs were meticulous in the preparation and it showed up in the flavors. I had bypassed it on Monday and immediately regretted it after eating some unappealing breakfast tacos from the nearby coffee chain. Go there if you want coffee on the go. Come here if you want great breakfast nourishment.

    There are a lot of taco places out there, but Felipe’s Lucius burritos are something special. I’m not sure how they do it but this place has the perfect mixture of quality, taste, price, and atmosphere. I try to stop by every chance I have.

  • 4/5 Diana C. 1 year ago on Google
    I wasn’t expecting a fast casual experience when we went. However, I was impressed by the quality and quantity of food I received for the price. When it comes to the ambience, it’s a legit Mexican taco place that places a lot of rancheras, which made it more fun. It is spacious and vibrant.

  • 3/5 Louis S. 2 years ago on Google
    A bit pricy. Quality of meat is great but not amazing. Taco felt like it was missing something but it was still tasty. The vibe of the restaurant is fast paced and I like how it’s chipotle style

  • 5/5 Andrea G. 2 years ago on Google
    The efficiency of the line was 5/5, there was a line all the way to the door and it still only took about ten minutes to get our food and sit down. I had the tacos which were delicious, I will say the beef is a little fatty/gristly but tasted amazing! Will definitely return 😍
