Felipe's Taqueria
This is such a gem for Harvard and Lesley student! The vibe here is amazing and it feels very local and chill. The kitchen closes at 11 so head over at 10 for cocktails and chat with your friends til midnight! I love their blackjack burger!
Cambridge Common Restaurant
It’s a pizza shop on the corner of a building. It’s small but it’s always popping and very tasty! The pizzas are almost like Chicago style, very much deep-dish. Make sure you LOAD the cheese and red pepper flakes/garlic powder on your pizza. 10/10

Healthy eating made right!! I always get a burger from here with sweet potato fries and they NEVER fail to deliver!! Please come check it out and don’t judge a book by its name. It may be called veggie grill, but the flavors they give is real!
