"If you're in Cambridge, this is a must-visit spot for fantastic Mexican food and a great vibe. Every time I visit, I always make sure to stop by this restaurant. It's one of the best Mexican places I've been to. The food is delicious, the service is good, and the prices are very reasonable. I really enjoy the lively atmosphere with plenty of seating, and I especially love that they offer free chips and salsa as soon as you sit down. The chips keep coming until your meal arrives, and I definitely recommend getting some guacamole to go with them. The menu is also very vegan and vegetarian-friendly, with a dedicated section for these options. My personal favorites are the black bean and corn empanadas, veggie jambalaya, and bean burrito. The dishes are flavorful and the portions are generous. For a great dining experience, I highly suggest trying the chips and salsa with guacamole for starters, and then the black bean and corn empanadas or veggie jambalaya for your main course."

I absolutely adore this Mexican restaurant! It has a cool atmosphere and the food is delicious. It's perfect for a casual date, dinner with family or friends, or even just enjoying a margarita by yourself. Definitely try the frozen margaritas!

We went on a Saturday night and the restaurant was busy, about 20 minute waiting. The meal comes with complementary chips and salsa with huge glass for drinking water. Empalada was amazing. Great service. Quality of food. nice atmosphere. Really recommended for Mexican food lovers

Authentic Mexican food. Best in town. Very old and popular. My favourite place for the Mexican food. Have a lot of variety for both food and drink menu. My favourite is Chicken Guadalajara with strawberry margarita. Cool ambience. Friendly staff. Very nice to chill out with friends. Suitable for family outings too.

Great vibrant atmosphere and excellent service. Food is well priced and delicious do yourself a favor and do not leave without trying the guacamole! It makes the perfect accompaniment to the basket of toasty tortilla chips they will keep refilling for you (literally nonstop). Somehow I always manage to eat a little too much here everytime View menu

Great service with lots of selection of beer and food. Their seafood option are definitely one of my favorites. Their crawfish is very fresh and I really like their creativity of their table setups. Their cajun popcorn is also very good (it's fried shrimp). Parking is relatively easy and there is a parking garage just across the street from the cafe.

Our family ate at the Border Cafe in Delaware all the time and we were SO excited to learn about the one in Harvard Square. We made a point to go out of our way to come here for dinner and it did not disappoint! The food is an absolutely incredible value and it's top notch. I highly recommend the fajitas and a house margarita. Everything everyone else at our table got was also amazing, so you really can't go wrong here!

During a tour of the area known for its hardware stores, a friend recommended this restaurant to us. We decided to give it a try and were pleased to find a clean and welcoming atmosphere. The waitstaff were very friendly and knowledgeable, helping us with our menu questions. We decided to order the Vegetarian Fajitas and Blackened Chicken dishes, both of which were delicious. The Blackened Chicken was particularly outstanding, and we were impressed by the quality of the food. I would highly recommend this restaurant to others. View menu

"Great casual fine dining experience in a quiet Cambridge neighborhood.Took a visit here for dinner on a Saturday night. Its casual and rustic interior blended in perfectly with the atmosphere of the neighborhood, and our servers were very welcoming. We were initially planning to do the tasting menu, but the regular a la carte menu seemed too good to miss. We ended up ordering a bunch from their regular menu which turned out to be the right decision.The optional focaccia and rye bread with sweet scallion butter was an excellent start to the meal. From the appetizers, we had the kohlrabi cabbage, country terrine, and the scallop crudo. Topped with a mélange of earthy and floral ingredients, the scallop crudo was my favorite from the appetizers. Each bite was creamy and flavorful yet inexplicably light. Sprinkled with cranberries and spiced seeds, the kohlrabi and cabbage salad was also delightful. I especially loved the spiced seed toppings which added the right amount of nuttiness and crunchy texture.Saffron bigoli with leeks and clam sofrito had a slightly boring flavor profile, but the pappardelle verde with lamb sugo was phenomenal. I’m usually not a fan of mint toppings, but it managed to become a perfect complement to the lamb sugo. Subsequent 3 entrées were also amazing. Japanese-inspired soy marinated cod was perfectly tenderized, and its delicate texture paired well with the carrots and leeks soaked in dashi. Forking a concoction of chimichurri sauce, garlic purée, and grilled spring onion with tender pieces of beef teres major was also very satisfying.We finished off the meal with the carrot cake sundae and the lemon poppyseed cake. The dessert section lacked refined taste, but we still appreciated their effort to put something unique and interesting. Overall, a really enjoyable dinner experience at a reasonable price. Would definitely come back some day to try their tasting menu.Parking: Street parking available on Huron Ave Concord Ave"

"No soup/sandwich shop compares in terms of price per quality, portion size, and different options in the area. I only started ordering from here about 2 weeks ago and I’ve now had 7 different kinds of soups and 4 different kinds of sandwiches after the first order I started ordering two soups and a sandwich aka a soup to save for later because they’re just that good, every one of them. Price is so very reasonable and depending on which combo you get you can make out with a full sized sandwich and large sized homemade soup for $14.While it’s hard to recommend one thing over another in this circumstance since it’s all been great in their own ways, the Chicken Chowder is something I plan on getting a quart of next time it’s available. The Chicken Barley and Chicken Lemon Rice are ones I plan on getting quarts of in the future as well, and that’s not to discount the Chicken Noodle, Beef and Veg Noodle Stew, French Onion, and the current seasonal Chilled Gazpacha (which I probably wouldn’t have even tried it wasn’t from these guys . It’s all top quality.The Chicken Tarragon sandwich is my favorite in terms of sandwiches although it can’t combo with a soup as of now (please let us! . The best cheap soup combo sandwich is a tossup between the Cilantro Tuna and Ciabatta Sandwich, which are both incredible in their own ways.The only few drawbacks to this place are they don’t have every soup they make every day, are only open until 4PM, and aren’t open on the weekends. That said it’s worth it to plan accordingly for this. I never review anything but this place is worth it it’s the best if you’re a soup and sandwich person like I am."
