Corn chips are thick, crispy and a bit too hard. $53.19 The hot salsa is bad, better mixed with the house salsa. The guacamole doesn't have a ton of flavor, just creamy, still ok. The flautas are small, 4 small ones with the dinner. I asked for beans only and on the side, got beans covered with cheese. I had asked the waitress about the order being wrong. She looked agitated. She went to take my plate away. I said not to bother, I don't trust her to not spit in my food, she looked like she wanted to hurt me. The tostadas is covered with too much iceberg. The chicken quesadillas are thin and subpar. Meal was average. The service left a lot to be desired for me.

I never see myself returning here for tacos, however they have a…read moremeat market in the store where you can buy fresh meats and bulk salsa, guac, chips etc that is pretty cool! I got the chicken tacos and 8oz side of rice and beans. Their menu read confusing, as they didn't have prices on the different meats, and tacos ranged from $2.99-$3.99 so I wasn't even sure how much my tacos would come to. I also thought it was 8oz combined of rice & beans for like $2.99 but I believe it rang up as individual 8oz containers. My total for the plate (3 tacos) & sides came to ~$16 without a tip or drink. The chicken tacos were SO bland. I tried adding more lime, the grilled onions, radishes, both the red and green salsas, and even rice and beans but nothing could rescue the flat flavor of nothingness every time I bit into my tacos. My red salsa that came with my plate was genuinely lame, it had hints of Tabasco sauce? Like they were trying to make it so spicy without any actual depth or flavor. I expected more from this place. I did try my friends steak from his taco and it was a bit more flavorful, so perhaps I got the wrong meat. Their employees were very nice and service wasn't too long, restaurant clean but limited seating! I would only return here to try the California burrito. I can find similar prices and great quality elsewhere.

Unbelievable, beyond disappointing. The corn chips are quite greasy, but crunchy. The guacamole isn't too bad. We asked for jalapeños to add to it, we got pickled jalapeños. I would have thought they would have loads of fresh jalapeños, given the type of cuisine here. The pickled jalapeño gives the guacamole a very different taste to it. Cheese everywhere. Ugh. All over the taquitos and the chicken tostada too. The chicken in the taquitos are hard as jerky. The rest of the chicken in the taquito is super dry. The bean salad is so-so, has overcooked peas in it, corn, bland beans, red pepper, tomatoes. The chicken fajita is okay, a tad dry, there's some tomatillo or salsa verde in the grilled chicken with the red pepper, green peppers and onions. The small pico that comes with the fajita has good heat, from the fresh jalapeños. The quesadillas have a ton of cheese, not a lot of chicken inside, looks like an after thought. Service was ok. Food was subpar. Nothing notable.

I will likely come back to try some of the street taco options.

As an update to my original review I need to correct the record as I realize now, after the fact,…read morethat this business does indeed make authentic Mexican street style tacos, where the ingredients are onions, cilantro, lime juice, and meat of your choice. The street tacos I ordered on this trip were very well-made where they have generous portions of meat in both the steak Asada and the El Pastor taco meal I ordered. The taste was a tad on the bland side for me however where some salt and salsa were required to pick up the flavor profile which I am sure is a function of keeping it to a neutral flavor profile to appeal to the masses and letting people season it to their personal taste. The El Pastor in particular, which is a marinated pork taco, had more of a subtle flavor from the marinade that did not jump out at you versus some of the better ones I have had. Having said that, they were still good authentic Mexican street style tacos. Overall, this restaurant is a great option If you are looking for better made Mexican food and are in this area.

We decided to go to Border Cantina and try it again the last time it was only fair. Big mistake! Lots of poorly prepared food. Corn chips were full chips on top of crumbled chips all tasted reheated. Enchiladas no flavor and the sides were a mess. Chicken taco had no flavor and I had no idea what the beaf was. Sides over cooked and runny. Where is Gordon Ramsay?

Ok....i hesitate to use this word but food was awful. Everything was smothered in cheese, and lacked flavor. Also it was cold in the room. I did ask for the heat to be turned up and they obliged without hesitation. However, management needed to "read the room".... If all your patrons are sitting in their coats at dinner, why do I need to tell u to turn up the heat? Look, I'm sure they are probably short staffed, and doing the best they can. However, With so many other Mexican options I probably won't be back. It's a shame as my server was very very nice.
