Border Cafe

You will probably have to wait to get a table this restaurant in Harvard Square but believe me, it is well worth the wait.

The margaritas are among the best in Boston and the food is terrific. Not only do they have the staples you'd expect at a Mexican restaurant, but also great spicy cajun catfish, fish tacos, and other off the beaten path favorites. They give you a ton of food and you will leave fat and happy.

During my years in Boston, this was my favorite place to eat hands down. Cheap, good Tex-Mex/Cajun food. The lines tend to be long (no reservations accepted) and the place is pretty noisy, but the food is good.

My favorite plate is actually an apetizer--quesedllia with avocado. Huge slices of avocado cooked right in the tortilla and cheese. The fajitas here are very good too.

WARNING: As much as I love the place, a friend of mine hated it. Not so much for the food, but he said the palce was a health inspector's paradise. He happened to work above the place, so he may have had a good perspective of things. That doesn't keep me from eating here though when I have the chance.

If you like Mexican food - you have to go to the Border. It is a hot spot - so if you go on a Saturday night - expect to wait about an hour or and hour and a half. Try different days other than Friday or Saturday night - lunch even better. Cheap food - but great.
