Great service with lots of selection of beer and food. Their seafood option are definitely one of my favorites. Their crawfish is very fresh and I really like their creativity of their table setups. Their cajun popcorn is also very good (it's fried shrimp). Parking is relatively easy and there is a parking garage just across the street from the cafe.
We went on a Saturday night and the restaurant was busy, about 20 minute waiting. The meal comes with complementary chips and salsa with huge glass for drinking water. Empalada was amazing. Great service. Quality of food. nice atmosphere. Really recommended for Mexican food lovers
Our family ate at the Border Cafe in Delaware all the time and we were SO excited to learn about the one in Harvard Square. We made a point to go out of our way to come here for dinner and it did not disappoint! The food is an absolutely incredible value and it's top notch. I highly recommend the fajitas and a house margarita. Everything everyone else at our table got was also amazing, so you really can't go wrong here!
Great vibrant atmosphere and excellent service. Food is well priced and delicious do yourself a favor and do not leave without trying the guacamole! It makes the perfect accompaniment to the basket of toasty tortilla chips they will keep refilling for you (literally nonstop). Somehow I always manage to eat a little too much here everytime
If you're in Cambridge, this is a must-visit spot for fantastic Mexican food and a great vibe. Every time I visit, I always make sure to stop by this restaurant. It's one of the best Mexican places I've been to. The food is delicious, the service is good, and the prices are very reasonable. I really enjoy the lively atmosphere with plenty of seating, and I especially love that they offer free chips and salsa as soon as you sit down. The chips keep coming until your meal arrives, and I definitely recommend getting some guacamole to go with them. The menu is also very vegan and vegetarian-friendly, with a dedicated section for these options. My personal favorites are the black bean and corn empanadas, veggie jambalaya, and bean burrito. The dishes are flavorful and the portions are generous. For a great dining experience, I highly suggest trying the chips and salsa with guacamole for starters, and then the black bean and corn empanadas or veggie jambalaya for your main course.
