Bedlam as beloved Fenway taco place re-opens in Brighton

Dave Alpert reports on last night's opening of El Pelon Taqueria on Comm. Ave. near BC:

... I don't think they were quite prepared for the onslaught that was to ensue. I hit the line to order around 6:30, and wasn't able to actually make that order until 6:54. It took about another half hour until I was walking out the door, chicken plato and fried plantains in hand. It also seemed like the Fenway had rented buses to bring people there. And the Fenway alumni association rallied a good crowd as well. I recognized many faces from the old neighborhood, and as everyone reached the front of the line, they congratulated Hoben and said stuff like, "I used to live around the corner on Jersey St." ...

The front door has a sign today saying that they won't be open today until 5 PM as well.

Which I learned at 1 PM trying to get lunch. :(

This looks promising... I would much rather go here than Qdoba or whatever that place is in the center. Haven't had a great nearby burrito since Burritos on Fire closed, (Anna's is a little far from Oak Sq). Has anyone been to the newish place in Union Square across from the firehouse (sorry I forget the name)?
