This Harvard Square hangout, which is popular with college students, offers heaping portions of Tex-Mex and Cajun eats. Everyone likes the complimentary warm tortilla chips covered in salt and served up with a side of chunky salsa and… Read Full Editorial

I've been going to Border Cafe since 1993. Affordable & tasty food. Great chips & salsa. Tons of refills. Addicted to shrimp & crawfish quesadilla.

MARGARITAS by AnneliseN via Citysearch on 5/10/2010
Pro: There must be something about this place given the long line that stretches outdoors on Friday and Saturday nights. The margaritas are great and the food is cheap and tasty. The parade of chips & salsa is never ending. I didn't even…
Mexican love! by josiebean87 via Citysearch on 4/16/2010
Ok so this is actually a review on the Border Cafe in Saugus (I haven't been to the one in Cambridge, but they're probably just the same). I love it here because the food is quality mexican with good space and atmosphere. The chips are…
Fantastic Mexican food @ Border cafe by Robbo48 via Citysearch on 4/16/2010
We looked around Harvard Sq. for a relaxing (affordable) place to eat and stumbled into the cafe. Packed with people which is usually a good sign. Prices very reasonable and service was quick and friendly. Cool atmosphere and wonderful…
Good for a crowd by Erin M via Insider Pages on 4/15/2010
The food isn't fantastic, and sometimes the service can be iffy, but it's always a fun, lively atmosphere. Great cheese quesadillas.
TexMex and Cajun cooked to perfection by CertainCharms via Citysearch on 3/25/2010
Ah, Border Cafe. I love that somehow, though I'm sure you are always swamped in the kitchen, that your proteins are always cooked perfectly - my food always arrives piping hot at the table, any the chicken always had a great sear on the…
Great food - Cheap prices by Stayce417 via Citysearch on 3/4/2010
I always order the same thing:
Chicken Enchiladas
Margarita's are awesome too!!
Service? by VindictiveButterfly via Citysearch on 6/16/2009
I was so disappointed when I went there. First of all, ordered a Margaritta and the waiter insisted on seeing my ID, which I had left in my other purse back at my apt . A little rediculous because I'm far beyond the legal age and that was…
Best fajitas in Boston and great cheap drinks by Lauren W via Insider Pages on 4/23/2009
The fajitas here are amazing. I always order the veggie fajitas (I ask them to hold the pepper seasoning that it usually comes with)and my husband loves the blackened chicken. The margaritas are also very good and you can't beat the…

3000 Miles to Eat ! by Shannon M via Insider Pages on 1/17/2009
My family has been going to the Border Cafe in Harvard Square for over 20 years. We are native Bostonians and now California transplants. Every visit to Boston includes a trip to the Border Cafe ! Try the Eggplant Royale or the extra…
Best Cheap Eats by TheReviewa via Citysearch on 10/18/2008
For cheap Tex Mex and a cheap Margarita. This is the place! The border cafe has something for everyone including run of the mill Tex Mex and some interesting Cajun dishes too. This place will not break the bank either so expect to wait…
The most disorganized and lying management ever! by DkTiburon via Citysearch on 7/3/2008
So, I accidentally left my credit card in the restaurant and immediately went back to retrieve it. For some unknown reason, the manager took it home, and I needed to talk to the other managers. At first, the first manager denied knowing…
Easy, cheap and fast! by stayve via Citysearch on 6/4/2008
Been twice and both times had very good experience. First time we had a wait of 15 minutes and the second time we were brought right to a table. I purposely chose to eat mexican the first time, burrito was OK, chips and salsa and…
Do not go there as the folks running the place are extremely rude! by pelusa666 via Citysearch on 3/10/2008
This last Saturday we were a party of 11. We reached the restaurant at around 9:15 pm. They gave us a buzzer and the manager at the door told us to wait for 30-45 min. We stayed at the bar until 10 pm. We asked for the status of our…
HORRIBLE service (especially manager) by suppaman92 via Citysearch on 1/4/2008
I have been coming to this restaurant for 4 years.Tthe food is pretty good and worth coming back for but the service, especially from the manager, has convinced me to never go back there again. I was sitting with friends and ordered my…
Best Food and Drink in Boston Area by Pamela B via Insider Pages on 12/7/2007
The Border Cafe is a favorite on mine. The quessadillas are the best. Bring back the carne asade. It's the best! The drinks are great too. Terrific margaritas and the sangria is also amazing. The decor is great too. Very authentic. …
Good food, horrific attitude by rmusa via Citysearch on 10/12/2007
This has been my favorite restaurant for ten years. But as sad as it sounds I, a regular customer even after I moved to the west coast, had a major setback in what I think of the place.\r

I flew in from San Francisco last week and met…
