the chimichurri steak was just awesome, perfect size and price for lunch . these guys must be using a real fire grill, the taste was just perfect. my wife had a veggie fajitas and that too was exquisit

huskyboi

Really good food. An interesting blend of Tex-Mex and Cajun cooking. Get one of their margaritas while you wait. Very busy on the weekend!

David Deutsch

I sat at the bar for close to an hour waiting for a friend to show up. Great drinks, hot chips , salsa and conversation. Love the bartenders .

Deborah Sutliff

The catfish is awesome and the margaritas are so fresh!

Andres Cantero

Very good salsa , and guacamole . The half-and-half fajitas were delicious. Service was fast and friendly . Really worth it, if you're in the area.

Val Raptor

Excellent inexpensive Tex-Mex! Great for a crowd or families. Margaritas are very good!

Nicole Goetz

Order the corn bread . Its a great price, goes great with anything on the menu and has a good taste. They char it slighly so its crunchy on the outside and super soft on the inside.

Jeremy Krantz

One of the best lunch spots in Burlington, by far. Sure beats the Mediocre Macaroni Grill and various others like Chili 's and the Cheesecake Factory

Bruce G

Just tried the Cajun chicken fajitas based on the recommendations here...and they were spot on...awesome

Fred Miller

Was just there a week or so ago great burger took my 12 y.o. son cool time less than 20 bucks with a good tip included now I see why there is so many families and younger folks in here. I'm going back

Rachel Landers

Literally everything is good here. I love the chicken burro and the blackened chicken fajitas !

Janet Rosa

Food is really pretty good and service was excellent. But it is way too noisy to enjoy a relaxing meal and conversation.

Sally Willard

Food is good. The noise level has kept me away for many years. If you can't have a conversation without shouting, it's tough to go with others.

Sam Higgins

Excellent Mexican place . There’s a kick of spicy to the salads .

Melissa Chai

Strawberry margaritas , shrimp tacos , guac chips all amazing ????

Angela M

The house salad is delicious and super cheap ! It's bacon , cheese and croutons with a side of lettuce. Mom.

Traci Herrod

Nice vegetarian menu . Great black beans . Oddly, there is a Caesar Salad with anchovy dressing on the vegetarian menu ??...a bit of a concern

Joseph Schwendt

The Crawfish Etouffee is their best dish, and comes with great cornbread . You can ask for it spicy . The Harvard Square location is way better however.

Kristina Oakland

Food is delicious and I recommend the melon margarita ! Good service but they make you feel rushed!

Jon Darveau

This a Cajun/Mexican restaurant , the blackened catfish is pretty good with the jambalaya .

Sara Graham

If you have little kids, go right at 5 o'clock. The place is packed with young families. And make sure you get a (huge) glass of sangria to enjoy on your "family night out."

Biren Shah

Blackened Chicken Fajitas are by far the best thing on the menu, in my opinion. Some of the best fajitas I've ever had.

Harry Wahlgren

Drinks were mixed slightly on the strong side. Blackened chicken fajitas were dynamite!

Sofia Uz

Fun and popular, cheap ! Good food and outdoor seating

Emily H

Laid back atmosphere and very reasonably priced! Never too bad of a wait. Great vegetarian selection !

Gaetan Noel

One of the best fries I've eaten! Gaucho Chiken was perfect too

Chris Phair

I just had the Chicken and Chorizo Etouffee which was really good! Kind of spicy and very tasty!

David Carr

Blackened Catfish , Blackened Salmon Tacos , Margaritas !

Grilled or blackened chicken Caesar is awesome and very filling.

The chips and the fajitas (esp for the tortillas given!)

Vegetarians - Get the veggie fajitas with black beans . Great veggies and lots of 'em!

Get the root beer , brewed and bottled locally. Tastes awesome!

Ask for Michelle, she is great.

Joseph Mulloy

Try the Eggplant Royale, it's my favorite dish. I get it every time I go to the Border Cafe.

Andrew Peterson

Nice, good food for a good price, but doesn't quite have the kitsch value of the Havard Square location.

One of my favorite places to go. One thing I'd say they could improve is more seating for the readers! Those comfortable seats are great, they just need more. - Paul Kerr
