Good service, good price and good food. Really worth a try! Very nice view of the marina and park. read more

DELICIOUS food! Always busy (which is good!) but can get your food in reasonable time.. prices are pretty adequate. Yummy

Now, we're talking about mexican food in the UP of Michigan. This isn't gonna be mexicantown in Detroit. That being said, Border Grill is awesome. I'm usually tentative on trying the fast-ish food mexican restaurants in different towns because you never really know what you're in for. This place was so good I had to go back a second time during my week vacation in Marquette. The salsa tastes a little weird but in a good way. I think the color just throws off your brain a little. I got a carne asada burrito both times and it was delicious. The salsa fuego they put on it is hot but not mouth burning and is perfectly complemented with the sour cream on the burrito as well. The building is new and a definite step up from their old digs from what I've been told. The place is clean and modern, right down to their weird order delivery system. They've got a patio outside that I guess they have live music on too, which is a nice touch. Overall, I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for A) a quick meal, B) some quality mexican, or C) a nice little lunch if you're on vacation in the UP. read more

Best discovery ever!! I'm a huge Chipotle/Qdoba/Mexican eater and this place impressed. The food was delicious and fresh. Service was quick and very helpful. There are vegetarian options. It's a combo between a traditional Mexican restaurant and your usual fast casual places. And they have beer! Can't wait to go back. read more

In my opinion, the best Tex-Mex food I have ever had because I'm partial to Marquette, MI restaurants, and it really is the best Tex-Mex food I have ever had. Two locations in Marquette, MI- same great service and food quality at both. Most people either love it to death or avoid it. I suggest drinking the Border salsa (addiction joke). A crowd favorite is the Border Burrito. My favorite is the Chicken Cesar Wrap- Add rice OR the Veggie Grande Quesadilla- Add chicken. Add on's are a local secret. Family & friends atmosphere. Catering available. Alcohol served. read more

Bland. Overpriced. Not enough food. The chips are like broken glass. Go find Dia de Los Tacos and get a real taco. read more

Let me just start by saying the food here is amazing. The food is very good for the price and it's very fast as well. Yes don't think i've ever waited any longer for twenty minutes. The customer service has always been good and the employees are very friendly. The border salsa is amazing and goes with just about everything and it's almost good enough to drink. Overall I 100% recommend it. read more

Always fresh, always yummy, and if things aren't perfect always amazing customer service!

I honestly wasn't sure if it was possible to find a(n American) burrito as good as Chipotle but... BEHOLD! I have found it. Listen carefully. You should get a Sonora Burrito (cheddar jalapeno tortila, chicken, spinach, etc.) and then mail it to me. Express. read more

I grew up loving Border Grill, and now living across the country I still crave it all the time, and love it just as much. The food is delicious and fresh, and the staff is always friendly. The new building isn't bad either, I like the soda-machine-on-both-levels thing they have going. I would HIGHLY recommend the veggie quesadilla, and lots and lots of Border salsa (what is IN this stuff??? ADDICTING). The downside: parking can be a pain. I would recommend forgoing the front lot if it looks busy, it always seems like an accident waiting to happen (but there is plenty of parking in the back). Also this place gets CROWDED. The congestion has been relieved somewhat with the expansive new building, but it can definitely get loud and stressful at peak hours. Anyway, nothing beast Border Grill the morning after a late night drinking (or after a day at the beach, or in the evening for dinner, or even when you're not hungry but love it so much you try to shove it down anyway...). Ahhh sweet Marquette memories. read more

This is one of the first places I stop when I am back in Marquette and always get the chicken gourmet burrito (grilled chicken, rice, cheese, border salsa and guacamole). The border salsa is amazing even though it is a rather weird orange color and I am not quite sure what is in it. Border Grill is a must eat while in MQT read more

A working knowledge of gluten tolerance, and a totally decent taco. Not the *best* taco, but not bad at all. pretty fast, reasonably priced. read more

Quite disappointed. Never going back. I travel quite a bit for my job so I rely Yelp to point me in the right direction for excellent food or even good food. I LOVE Mexican or even Tex Mex food. I ordered the gourmet burrito w pork. I wasn't disappointed in the burrito but the side of guacamole was browned on top ( clearly out of a cooler) and the Queso and chips made my stomach turn and I paid for it the next day(see photo). The chips were obviously from a food service company and not fresh and the queso? Well let's just say it had the consistency of expired cream of something soup. Absolutely disgusting. It had the color of baby poo on a bad day and tasted worse. I of course thought "well maybe that's the way they make it?". My mistake, it was obviously microwaved and not all the way through. I threw it out but not before it made me sick. Ugh- even if you are a semi fast food place you need to pay attention to every detail of a meal. Not just the burrito. Never going back. read more

Border Grill - Queso? Or cream of nacho cheese soup? - Mexican Near Me - Marquette, Michigan

Great service, excellent food at affordable prices, what's not to love!? It's my top choice in restaurants in Marquette and haven't found one like it anywhere. read more

For a fast food Mexican place, I would rate this 5 star. I don't call it Tex Mex like others because there isn't any chili powder in my food. I tried the veggie burrito and steak taco. Love the flavor of the orange sauce. Food was fresh, hot and yummy. Good flavor, not too hot - but Tapatio on the table if you like. read more

Border Grill - Microbrews available here - Mexican Near Me - Marquette, Michigan

Does anyone know about the "orange sauce?" Because it is the best sauce evahr! Not only does it go great with their chips, but I dip everything else in my plate in the sauce, too! My visit isn't complete without it! read more

Border Grill - Beautiful day to be in the patio! - Mexican Near Me - Marquette, Michigan

This is a great spot for a fill up! Roughly the same cost as going to McDonald's or Burger King for two, but the food feels higher quality and fresh. Customer service was also great. Would return for sure read more

They really are a great business overall! They have grown so much mostly because they truly have 5 star service in a casual setting. I am very happy that you can now Veganize your food when you order to make sure no meats or cheeses are included in your food. Fresh tasting ingredients and both MQT locations have an awesome atmosphere. It's the closest thing you'll find to Tex-Mex in the UP! Don't expect too much "heat" in their spices though! I will also say the freshly made tortilla chips are always a winner! My main issue is personal preference, I'm not a huge fan of anything on the menu. I usually order sides and put together a meal for myself, because nothing is close to what I would want without paying full price for a menu item in which I'm going to leave 5 ingredients out. anyway. read more

We returned a day later :) It was great. I had a burrito and shared an appetizer of nachos. We will definitely return when we visit Marquette. read more

Similar to our favorite chain competitor, Chipotle, they are offer so many yummy ways to enjoy your burrito or bowl plus tacos and nachos. My personal favorite are their addictive shrimp tacos, while the gidget loves their unburrito bowls! read more

Went to BorderGrill with a friend from Oaxaca, Mexico on the last day of a 3 day trip and wish we would have discovered it sooner. We travel extensively around the Midwest, always looking for good Mexican food and usually disappointed. We had 3 items, carne asada, border burrito and chips with fuego salsa. All were impressive and my friend gave his (Mexican) thumbs up to everything. He's usually the first to track down the manager and complain. If you appreciate fresh, well seasoned, quality Mexican, this is your place. You like salty/greasy/deep fried food, go to Bell. read more

Not a fan. Border sauce smelled like French dressing, tasted like cheesy tomato soup. Salad was more like cold casserole. Dirty dining room. Never again. read more

Not bad, not great. Better than Taco Bell, that's for sure, but if Chipotle comes to town, it'll probably put this place out of business.

The good: prices are low (a few cents lower than comparable items at Chipotle/Moes/Qdoba), and they serve beer and margaritas. The building is one of those newish angular steel and glass two-story numbers, with lots of metal chairs, if you like that sort of thing. The not-so-good: the process. You walk in and it kind of looks like Chipotle, but there's no menu board or assembly line, so you're not sure if you should seat yourself or order at the counter. There are like 6 employees standing around, who will direct you to the couple of folded menus hanging in a pocket on the wall. You order and they give you a pager, but bring your food to your table before it goes off. You get your own soft drinks and napkins, but they bring the food on real plates, with silverware. The food was OK but very bland; I drowned mine in the Tapatio that was on the table (only sauce option?) to make it taste like anything. I got the Border burrito, which came with a cup of an orange sauce that kind of tasted like French dressing--I'm still not sure if it was for the burrito or the tortilla chips that come on the side. The floor was not too clean, but with the type of food they serve, and their predominantly teenage clientele, I guess it gets dirty quickly. As Mr. F observed, "It feels like a cafeteria in here." All in all, it's an OK option for the price, but probably shouldn't be the highest-rated restaurant in Marquette on Yelp. read more

It's not the worst place in town, but it's not the best. They use the term "Mexican food" pretty loosely here. It's more American wrapped in tortilla than anything else. Their use of cilantro is pretty staggering, so if you're not into that, steer clear. They do have good burritos and a tasty queso. I'd avoid it if you're looking for a great taco though--they come off as rather tasteless. Overall, I hit it now and again, but don't make a habit out of it. read more

Great wraps! If you are looking for authentic mexican, this is a definetily more of an American wrap place, with mexican influence. Chicken Ceasar wrap, add steak..... oh yea! read more

If you're looking for truly good (or authentic) Mexican or Tex-Mex food in the U.P., you'll likely never find it. However, when you have a yen for something in that vein, the Border Grill is a decent option. Their foods (wraps, burritos, salads) are flavorful and fresh and served in a clean environment. I still can't get over their bizarre idea of "salsa," though, which is some sort of semi-creamy whipped tomato gorp. Though, as another reviewer mentioned, if Chipotle ever comes to town, this place will fall off the map. read more

Nothing about this place tastes like Mexican food. Overpriced and under seasoned. I had to salt my food to make it bearable. Margarita was the only thing decent. Rather go to TBell read more

Best Ever. I'm confused as to why people aren't ordering the right stuff to give this a good review...oh well their loss. Carne Asada w/ steak (i know it's redundant, but they ask...) and the Nachos Supreme w/ steak and guac. SOOOOO good,...they do everything the best. best chips too, and the border sauce is the greatest invention ever. read more

Whenever I visit Marquette I try to stop at the Border Grill. I've only had one item from the menu before - the Mahi Mahi burrito, but I get it everytime because it is that good. The chips also come with a free dip that is very flavorful and reminds me of a bisque. It was unusual but definitely makes me want to go back. read more

Good to great Mexican food in Marquette. Slow service at lunch hour (25 minute wait for food). Wrapped Burrito is worth the visit, though. Nice atmosphere and helpful staff. read more

I am from Marquette, MI and I just recentely moved out to California and the one thing i miss most is Border Grill. They have such great food but after coming out to California I realized that border grill is way over priced for the amount of food you get. read more

There's a reason that Border Grill has expanded so fast in Marquette, its DAMN good. From the burritos to tacos, you really can't go wrong. When I come back to town, BG is one of the places I have to hit before leaving. It's a nice break from the pizza joints and dive bars that are scattered throughout the town. read more

Oh what is in the Border salsa? What makes it that color? Why is it so dam good? When ever I am in MQT I stop in at the border grill, it stands out among all other Mexican food I have had, it is good, fresh and a little different from your usual cheese heavy Mexican. read more

Not a bad little place. Well air conditioned for a hot summer. The food seems a bit expensive, but the portions are fair (with the exception of the rice and beans which aren't very good so maybe less is more). I was pleasantly surprised by how spicy my Chipotle Quesadilla was and plan on going back. read more

I often ate cheese burritos here when I was in college they were ok. But the chipoltle sauce that they make I could eat on everything and did. read more

Really good. Its like fast food mexican, but not fast. The building was clean and amazing looking. The staff was friendly and efficient. This is a counter service place with a drive thru and to go svce. We left very full and happy. read more

They have really good food here. Get the steak or chicken tacos. It would be 5 star, but the hours knocked off two stars. I wanted to eat here before 11. read more

Everybody seems to love this place. The best Mexican place in Marquette. Prices aren't bad for what you get.

it's been about four years since i was in marquette. I still get cravings for the carne Asada. This place calls me back like heroin to an addict. read more
