Was Jenifer Jacobi at Borderline Bar and Grill a mag?
One of the best authentic mexican cuisine, especially the combination fajita. It has shrimp chicken and steak peppers and onions with sides of cilantro rice and beans. The flavors contrast perfectly. They also are on door dash. When people find out about this place they will have to open up more locations. They also have music, a bar and pool tables. Its a really great atmosphere. I will definitely be back. View all feedback.
What Isidro Zulauf dislikes about Borderline Bar and Grill:
The food was trash, genuinely disappointed in the quality that was given. In addition the parking was abysmal, I tried going to the back and the owner yelled that it was his property, I'm trying to park so I can buy your food, what is going on here. View all feedback.

I was in town visiting and this restaurant was conveniently located near my hotel. I ordered some Bud Lights and struck up a conversation with a friendly girl, so I offered to buy her a Corona. I handed the bartender a $20 bill for my drink and hers, hoping to get some change back. However, both the girl and the bartender insisted that I pay an additional $5. It seemed like the bartender then handed the girl something, likely cash. If you aren't Spanish, I wouldn't recommend going here; it feels like you're being targeted rather than treated as a customer. It feels like a setup for a scam.
The food and staff here are incredible! The owner is amazing as well. Don't pay attention to the one-star reviews from those who used DoorDash for delivery. Go in and experience it for yourself!
Borderline Bar and Grill is the real deal—some of my favorite Mexican food has been in El Paso, San Antonio, Phoenix, and San Diego, and this place truly stacks up! I'll definitely be coming back. The menu is very authentic, so it helps to know a bit of Spanish since not all staff are bilingual. Luckily, I do know some Spanish, and there was someone working who spoke English that day. These are probably some of the best tacos I've had in Baltimore.
I had an excellent experience, particularly with the service. The food was delicious and reasonably priced.
The food is overpriced and disappointing, and the service is even worse. This place feels suspicious. Don’t waste your time or money!

It's the ideal spot for a lovely evening, and I hope to be there this weekend.
It’s more of a bar than a restaurant, with that being said I ordered the Carnitas and it was awesome. The rice was just like my mother used to make. Though the beans were a little average the guacamole was fantastic. I would definitely recommend this place for GrubHub or if you want a quick lunch at a bar
One of the best authentic Mexican cuisine, especially the combination fajita. It has shrimp chicken and steak peppers and onions with sides of Zilantro rice and beans. The aromas contrast perfectly. They're also on the doorstep. When people find out about this place, they need to open more locations. You also have music, a bar and billiard tables. It's a really great atmosphere. I'm definitely back.
This place is truly amazing! I've had some of my favorite Mexican food in places like El Paso, San Antonio, Phoenix, and San Diego, but this spot really stands out. I'm definitely coming back. However, it's so authentic that you might want to know a bit of Spanish, just in case there aren't any bilingual staff members around. I know a little Spanish, and luckily, there was someone who spoke English when I visited. These might be among the best tacos I've had in Baltimore!
Terrible service, we walked in and immediately rude stares, whispers, and attitudes. me and my family and waiting to 15 to 20 minutes and nobody came up to us to even ask for drinks and we were the only costumers besides two people. and not to pull this card but i believe it’s because im black because my brother sister also came little time before me and got treated the same way. never again.
