After a year of negotiations, a dispute between Felipe’s Taqueria and its landlord may keep the Harvard Square Mexican food restaurant from extending its late-night hours.During a June 20 hearing before the Cambridge License Commission (CLC), Commission Chairman Richard Scali postponed a ruling on the extension until a July 25 CLC meeting.If granted the extended hours, Felipe’s would be one of the few establishments in Harvard Square able to serve food until 4 a.m. on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Felipe’s would also be allowed to operate until...
...reasoning behind its perennial refusal to allow Harvard Square nightlife to exist by forcing all restaurants and bars to shut down at 2 a.m. could not be more nonsensical. For example, the CLC claims that that noise from late-night eateries, such as Felipe’s Taqueria (which faced penalties last fall for selling burritos a few minutes past 2 a.m.), would be disruptive to Cambridge residents.

The temperature of hot foods must surpass 140 degrees.Felipe’s Taqueria, Grafton Street, and Pinocchio’s Pizza were all cited for inadequate hot- and cold-holding temperatures during their last inspections, but all have been reinspected and have fixed the violation. According to Fallon, one of the most common customer complaints is alleged sickness following a meal...
HSDF’s influence grew far before it began pushing to restrict the operating hours of establishments like Felipe’s Taqueria and the soon-to-come IHOP. Though Grendel’s Den needed six years to gain a liquor license due to a state law “allowing a church to prevent restaurants from serving alcohol within 500 feet of its door,” the HSDF vocally supported withholding the license for even less convincing reasons—HSDF felt the Square already had an adequate number of restaurants selling liquor.
