    I've been coming to Border Cafe for years and it's always been one of my favorite spots, which is why tonight was so disappointing. Several things with the food were clearly off: * The jambalaya rice was burnt and crunchy. * The burrito chicken was extremely dry. * The chips and salsa were over-salted, and when we asked for unsalted chips, the replacement batch was burnt. * The tomatoes on the chicken were mushy, not fresh and firm like they usually are. * The fish tasted frozen, which is unusual for what Border Cafe normally serves. The only bright spot was our waitress, who was incredibly sweet and helpful. We actually felt bad bringing up the issues because she was doing everything she could. It honestly felt like the kitchen quality has slipped, which is surprising for a place that used to be so consistent. I hope management looks into this because Border Cafe has always been a great restaurant, and it would be nice to see the food quality return to what it used to be.

    The food is absolutely amazing here and I LOVE ()  the jambalaya (jum-ba-li-ya) here! It's the best and I also really love their fajitas and corn chips!!! The service is bizarre! The waitress was so nice We had a great experience! The place looked so festive and well taken care of on the inside and out. It is very big and decorated, too! They have a great bed of plants that are well trimmed and up to date on the outside. I had a great experience here and having been coming here for 11 years. NEVER let me down. Great every time

    CHICKEN FAJITAS

    The food is amazing. Authentic mexican food at a great price. No reservations but the place is enormous with ton of tables. The chicken fajitas were perfect. The chicken had a great char while still being juicy and tender. The onions and peppers were cooked through instead of being crunchy and raw. The service was busy but our server was very helpful and friendly. The food came out in maybe 10 minutes it was crazy food. Come here for some great mexican cuisine.

    We love going here for the past 10+ years. They always have great food, drinks & service and a great atmosphere with the music. Free chips & salsa!

    Started off loving the chips and salsa and also loved my shrimp tacos. The chipotle aioli with the tacos was truly "chef's kiss." The margaritas were good, but a bit watered down and on the pricier side. Service was decent. Being someone who lived in Texas, the country music and Texas decor took me right back, especially after visiting the week before. They allowed my friends and I to chat for hours - a gesture we truly appreciated. All in all, a delightful spot for gathering with friends.

    The setting of the restaurant was quite nice. But the food was bad. From stale fries and steak to soggy tacos and service was very slow.

    Always a great meal. The gumbo here is perfect! We love the Cajun spices and the house margaritas are delicious.

    There are no zero star. Worst steak fajita ever. Service was good. Food awful. Waste of money. Never to return.

    Good service. Crazy that ownership says no dessert options. Not great for a birthday.

    Tapas time! Yes Please!…read more Had dinner here on a whim on a cold Saturday night. As soon as we walked in we noticed the place was jammed packed. We were lucky to get seated at the last two spots at the bar since we didn't have a reservation. The bar seating was actually nice because they had a nice display of liquor to show off. The waitress/waiters were very nice. They quickly got waters for us a couple of glasses of wine. We really like Spanish wines and they had a few Tempranillo wines to choose from so that was nice. We decided to share some Tapas and we were overwhelmed with all the options. Everything looked so good! We finally decided on the sautéed mushrooms, grilled shrimp (gambas), honey eggplant which was a nice sweet surprise and roasted potatoes with a yummy sauce. Everything tasted fresh and had great flavors. The service was great and the staff was very attentive and polite. I am curious now to try their Pallela but that's for next time!

    We enjoyed our visit to this cute tapas bar! We were going to a movie in the area and this place…read morepopped up on the map. I'm glad we stopped in. It's a small space and at dinner time, it's packed. I suggest making a reservation if you plan to come at peak time. It's not fancy but it's good. The staff was working very hard, but for a small staff, they were pretty attentive. We enjoyed all of our food. My favorite was the chicken paella and the chorizo sausage. The prices were also affordable for the amount of food provided. I recommend and I'd stop back in!
