In Short
No one has ever confused the Border Cafe's sizzling fajita platters or overstuffed quesadillas with gourmet Mexican fare, but overall quality is good and portions are exceptionally large (rare is the table that orders an… Read Full Editorial
A TRUE FANATIC by Big P via Insider Pages on 12/31/2010
This is my favorite all time restaurant. It is busy but they usually seat you in a timely mannor, if not move to the bar get a drink or soda and chips and salsa. The food is fantastic,prices are a steal. I havent opened the menu in 5 years…
Mexican Food by Michelles112 via Citysearch on 7/8/2010
Not bad, service and food is good. I like Cambridge better, but at least there is parking here.
Mexican Food by Tina72 via Citysearch on 7/3/2010
Got stuck on RT 1 traffic and decided to grab dinner here. Food was okay, for some reason its not the same as Cambridge.
Great mexican food by Eric P via Insider Pages on 12/3/2009
One of the best Mexican restaurants on the North Shore. The endless chips and salsa that are made and served fresh are delicious. They have a good sized menu to choose from. I usually get the fajitas which are excellent. The margaritas…
Border Cafe is .. by Rachel H via Insider Pages on 9/24/2009
The food is ok. They are always busy. I don;t drink margaritas and you can't get domestic beer here, but it's still a fun place to socialize with friends
Worth Every Dime by lisa r via Insider Pages on 4/26/2009
There are probably no reviews because this place doesn't need any. There are always lines of people waiting to go in. Makes you feel a little sorry for Qdoba next door.Excellent food at excellent prices. Top margaritas. Friendly service.…
Saturday afternoon, April 4, 2009 by Flamingo via Citysearch on 4/6/2009
My husband & I decided to have dinner at your new location late Saturday afternoon. We ordered the fajitta combo for two. First, the chicken & steak were completely stuck and burnt to the skillet which made it hard to scrape the meat off…
Best chicken quesadillas ever!!!! by DirtyMartiniGirl via Citysearch on 3/6/2009
When I want Mexican, I go to Border. They have the most amazing chicken quesadillas I've ever had. They are big and stuffed. The entrees are very good too. I usually go with the enchiladas, tacos, or burros (yumm). They always give…
Absolutely horrible meal by dexydream via Citysearch on 5/1/2008
I went to Border Cafe tonite for a birthday celebration. What a mistake!! The service was very good, along with the margaritas. The food was absolutely horrible. I ordered a beef fajita and it came with enough onions on it to qualify…
great mexican food by cableguy23 via Citysearch on 1/22/2008
great service..great food..gets pretty crowded friday and saturday nights but worth the wait for a table!
Tasty Mexican fare by livestoeat via Citysearch on 10/6/2007
Being vegetarian, I would have preferred it if there were some more options. I had the vegetarian fajita and really liked it. The service is fast - it is generally pretty crowded, expecially on weekends. I am looking forward to trying…
Great Tex-Mex by William F via Insider Pages on 7/27/2006
A favorite of mine and my brothers. Whish I was closer. I recommend the fajitas, served sizzling. The frozen drinks are also good. Prices are reasonable. Atmoshphere is relaxed. Good family environment. Plenty of parking. Gets busy…
More Margs!! by Melissa O. via Judy's Book on 5/25/2006
I LOVE the Border cafe. Everyone who knows me knows I can't get enought! The margs are delicious and always worth the price...the food is yummy and cheap too. Plus you get hot chips & salsa for free...Don't miss this Harvard Sq. hot spot.
See now, I did not like the margaritas! Weird. by Katie P. via Judy's Book on 4/4/2006
I thought the drinks were a little on the sugary side. Not salty enough, even though I asked for like, extra salt. But the empanadas? OH MY SWEET LORD. Heaven on a plate. Amazing selection of yummy appetizers and each selection is…
EXCELLENT... by whitjake via Citysearch on 3/22/2006
THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME HERE AND I WAS AMAZED AT HOW CROWDED IT WAS. WE WAITED 45 MINUTES FOR A TABLE. OUR TABLE WAS GIVEN TO ANOTHER PARTY WITH THE SAME NAME WHO HAD COME IN LONG AFTER US. BUT WE WERE QUICKLY GIVEN THE NEXT AVAILABLE…
Very Good Margaritas by w j c. via Judy's Book on 3/19/2006
The Border Cafe in Saugus is a very busy restaurant and is recommended for group dining or meals where you don't mind being casual. They often have quite a wait for a table during popular times, but they have a very nice bar area where you…
Great food! by jillcom via Citysearch on 3/23/2005
This is a one of a kind place! It is loud and gets crowded but the food is terrific!
abv avg by polymorph via Citysearch on 5/23/2004
if you cant stand being in the same time zone as a kid dont go by, it's always packed, foods good, prices are good, drinks are good, but the best is they have options for vegans vs just two selections. call in reservations, come early and…
Ok food . . . by bkiddo via Citysearch on 5/20/2004
The food is perfectly decent if you are looking for Americanized Mexican food. Due to it's affordability, however, hordes of large families flock to it's sterling location on Route 1 S in Saugus. Notice how you weave in and out of tables…
