Came here for breakfast with some family members that live in town. Nice place but I wish I would have had something else. I had a simple breakfast bacon and egg burrito. The machaca that my wife got looked good and I saw another table with a good looking bowl of menudo. Unfortunately, my bacon had a funny smell as though it might have been cooked on a grill with something else or worse a griddle that had not been cleaned in a while. It's funny because when I asked about the 2 item burrito specifically if that included the egg, the waitress told me yes but those were not the right prices. They have gone up. Thought that was kind of odd thing to say. Ever notices those menus that all the prices have stickers because they didn't want to reprint them. I used to think that was tacky but now I see at least they tried. read more

Border Taco - a white plate with a burrito on it - Mexican Near Me - Douglas, Arizona

Probably one of the best restaurants in Douglas. I have eaten here plenty of times and have never had a bad meal.

I paid almost $12 for an enchilada plate that was pretty disappointing. The enchiladas were actually delicious...and really small! I've never seen such small enchiladas! A small scoop of tasteless rice and a small bowl of beans, I think we're supposed to be refried. Instead the beans were watery and bland. Truly disappointing read more

Border Taco - Taco de adobada. - Mexican Near Me - Douglas, Arizona

So happy we went here to eat for our first visit to Douglas! The staff was so sweet & accommodating. Our food was DELICIOUS! I ordered the ranchero style shrimp tacos & I was shocked at how much shrimp was actually in my tacos. My hubby ordered one of the burros & he absolutely enjoyed it. The restaurant itself has the elements of eating at a good friend's home, open & bright lighting. And the restrooms were SO CLEAN!!!!!! Will be returning! read more

Border Taco - Shrimp Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Douglas, Arizona

The name is apt - it's located perhaps two blocks from the border crossing! The restaurant was a little hard to find, as Google Maps put us across the street from where the actual restaurant was located. The restaurant inside is clean and the service was very friendly. We ordered shrimp enchiladas and enchiladas with eggs (under breakfast plates). Both came with 3 enchiladas, Mexican rice, refried beans, salsa and sour cream. The food took a more than average amount of time to come out, but that makes me think it was cooked to order! The food itself was excellent: bursting with flavor, pretty spicy but savory and bright. It's a hidden gem in Douglas! read more

Border Taco - Enchiladas with eggs - Mexican Near Me - Douglas, Arizona

Had the Meatball Soup and it was delicious. Very good food on all my visits. This place is my go to. Friendly staff

The location and decor is on point, also clean dining area. I was told that this place has delicious food so we had to try. We ordered 3 burritos and cocido de res (beef stew). We waited 30 minutes for our food. I was just dumbfounded of how long it took since it was a simple order. The asada burrito was just ok, chicken burrito was really dry, and the beef stew was again just ok. No smile or welcome from the staff, it was "what do you want and here it is" kinda experience. However, I would try this place again. I'm a pro small business supporter, but I don't sugar coat my reviews. read more

This is a DUMP. We come in as a large party and had reservations, it's 95 here we walk in and the temperature inside feels like 90. Several people ask the MANAGER o please turn the AC up just until we all leave (40 of us. ) He lies and says it's at 74 I walk I over and the AC is set and locked to 81. He has another overhead AC he doesn't even have it on so we asked him to turn it on he got extremely RUDE because we asked to be comfortable while we ate. He then said take your FUNERAL PARTY ELSEWHERE. He came over to the table and complained that we asked him to turn the AC on and yelled at us at the table the he reached into his pocket and turned the ac up to. 78. We will never come back to this filthy place with its filthy restrooms and the horrible attitude of the owner or manager and the servers. Good bye am also calling the health department for them having cheese out on the counter for over an hour. This is OUR OPINION of this place and it deserves less than one star. Get a cleaning staff especially for your restrooms this is our OPINION OF THIS PLACE YOU'VE BEEN WARNED SO ITS UP TO YOU AMBIANCE- Loud SERVICE- horrible FOOD- terrible. Our OPINIONS ‼ SHARE YOUR AIR CONDITIONING WITH YOUR CUSTOMERS OR YOU WILL LOSE THEM. ‼ read more

Tasty, affordable with lots of choices. I had the breakfast burrito (create your own version). and a chili verde taco. Both were outstanding. read more

Border Taco has a nice spacious dining area with Mexican Decour. The servers are all very nice and accommodating. The portion sizes are good especially for the price! They have everything from caldo de queso to pancakes, chimichangas, enchiladas, Mexican shrimp cocktail, salads..... This is a great place to go if you have a large party - the menu is pretty extensive! read more

We almost didn't try this place because of the mediocre reviews. But then some of our Mexican friends gave us a list of places to try this side of the border in Douglas, and Border Taco was one. We've tried almost everything they recommended, and Border Taco has been the clear winner for us so far. How they stand out - real guacamole, and they provide lots of veggies with your tacos. I can't stand fake guacamole and that has made me loathe a few taco places I've tried. But that's for other reviews! Border Taco has real guacamole, and I hope they never change that. When you order tacos from them, they come with lots of cilantro, lots of cabbage, pico de gallo, extra hot salsa, and limes. If the order is "to go" those come in separate containers to you can load your tacos as much as you like. Love that! Maybe some people like the taco joints that serve just meat in a tortilla, but I like more food in my taco. Border Taco in Douglas is most comparable to 143 Street Tacos in Sierra Vista, or off the 10, Taco Mirasol in Deming. I'd also give those 5 stars for their tacos and veggie selections. Overall, Taco Mirasol is our favorite for having the most authentic Mexican flavors, but all are great and I frequent these whenever in the area. read more

**Warning**No refills on drinks** We travel to Douglas a few times a year and the worst part is finding a decent local place to eat. Chatita's was so so but is seems to have closed... we liked the Mighty Sports Grill but it seems they closed too. December 2013 we tried Denny's and Bleh... later on we gave Border Taco a try... Place is nice and clean, bathrooms are nice (that is a must being on the road all day)... Food was good but inconsistent, service is OK but kind of funny... And, don't be fooled by the soda machine... they charge for every cup, and they don't even tell you in advance... they should be called South of the Border Taco just for that... we also had water and they never refilled it... oh well, I will summarize it, service is ok, order food, get food, get the bill, but not much customer service skills. Oh, wait, there was a young girl that was very nice and attentive. We ordered 5 shrimp ceviche tostadas, one big menudo, 4 tacos (cabeza, barbacoa, asada y adobada). We got 5 tostadas, they looked and tasted good, with 2 big boiled shrimp on top each. The menudo was huge, but not very tasty... and we were missing one taco... and the ones they brought didn't have any vegetables or garnish, just tortilla and meat. We had to ask for it and then we got a nice plate with cabbage, cucumbers, pico de gallo, etc. Later a friend joined us and we got breaded shrimp and one more ceviche tostada. Shrimp was good, I didn't taste the rice or the beans. The ceviche tostada was bleh, very wimpy and no big shrimp on top!?! so that was not nice, I ordered an extra one because I liked the first 'batch'... Oh wait, and if you have OCD and want to check they in fact charged you for the right items... they just bring you the total and little notes for whatever you ordered, Anyway... Worst part is we may be back if we don't find a better place : P read more

Good menudo & excellent shrimp dishes. My favorite is the bacon wrapped shrimp. The shrimp are big & plump and tasty. Be prepared to wait on your food though. It always seems to come out slow... but it's worth it if you're not in a hurry. read more

Just visited in Douglas and found this place. Food is fantastic ! Best burros we have ever had ! And great prices ! Very clean and friendly place. Look forward to coming back soon ! read more

Not the best I've ever had but pretty Damn good!! Same owners as Chatitas which I tried yesterday and wtf, why does everyone recommend that place annnd how is it the same owner...? I mean this place is freaking flavourful, yum. Not fancy so go grab a burrito. If the owners of this place read this here are my recommendation, change or shut down chatitas and get more organized at border taco. That's my complaint with border taco is they get orders mixed up and don't know what to charge you for because the order/collection system is flawed. BUT the food is good. Try it read more

The restaurant options in Douglas are pretty limited, if you want to eat somewhere which isn't a chain this a safe bet. Pretty large selection of dishes which are decently priced. I've eaten tacos here twice good size, generous amounts of meat as well as seemingly good quality ingredients. read more

Nice place to eat, came from out of town from Long Beach ca. Food and service was great

Unbelievable... burrito de chicharrón. The chicharrónes are from the bag! Lousy customer service when we called. read more

Killer caramelos, delicious tacos, great beans, and Fresca! Some of the best in Douglas for sure. Nice staff and the place is super clean. I am a fan for sure. read more

This is more like boring taco. The place is clean, service not bad. But nothing exciting. Disappointing. Did not walk out hungry, just underwhelmed. Sorry. read more

Authentic fare and great service! Clean interiors and nice watering spot . Muy Bueno amigos!

The food is good, especially the pozole and menudo. The place is clean and the staff is nice. There are issues with the drive through, people get out of their cars and go inside, blocking the drive through. There's an odd picture of a truck on the wall. The decor is mostly what you would expect in a traditional Mexican restaurant, but there is a picture of a truck on the wall. It seems out of place, it's like they are honoring this truck like a member of the family. Very strange, it kinda reminds me of the movie Christine. If I don't post anymore reviews...you'll know why. read more

Absolutely the best menudo i ever had, also realt good head tacos, super fresh greens tray,(cilanro,pico,green onion,cabage,)Im from Jacksonville,Florida.wish they had place like this. Fantastic job .if i ever be in Douglas,again definetly come back. read more

Border Taco - Mexican Near Me - Douglas, Arizona

Nice looking restaurant when you enter but that's where it stops. We had a party of 7 and had the worst service imaginable. Half our group was served, finished our meal before the other half was finally served. Two of the 7 orders were incorrect and after waiting and waiting for our food we just didn't care anymore. We had to keep asking the waiter for napkins, utensils and all our ice teas we turned back in as they tasted awful. Portions were small and the food was lukewarm. They don't give you a tab. When you're done you walk up to the register and tell them what you ordered. Sorry, but I like to see a ticket. I have a feeling they charged us for the ice teas. Will never go back. read more

The food is delicious! Their tortillas are fresh, I highly recommend any burrito they have! Flautas with the fresh guacamole are perfect! Agua fresca aré very refreshing! read more

Pretty good burritos. And the caldos are good too. Kinda long wait time but I'll take it. The burritos de chicharrón are really good too! Come try it. read more

Way over priced! $20 for a dozen tacos, it ridiculous. Better places to eat Mexican food in town with better prices.

This is where you want to eat in Douglas Arizona. Spicy pork tacos will not disappoint!

I like to go to Border Taco on Sundays to have some menudo or caldo to satisfy the old-wives tale of it being good for hang overs, but I've noticed that every single soup has the same flavour, but different ingredients. Seems as though everything from the menudo to the albondigas starts off with the same base stock. I find it curious, but have no real complaint about it. After all, it is just soup, not a five-star entree. read more

Best take out food available in Douglas, and I was very surprised by how friendly the service was. I'm sure that the food is better in Agua Prieta but then afterwards you have with the border crossing. Ugh... read more
