Editorial Review for Border Cafe – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
No one has ever confused the Border Cafe's sizzling fajita platters or overstuffed quesadillas with gourmet Mexican fare, but overall quality is good and portions are exceptionally large (rare is the table that orders an entree for each diner). After plowing through a basket of warm tortilla chips and fresh salsa, patrons select from the menu's lengthy listing of standard Tex-Mex (chicken enchiladas) and Cajun (spicy blackened swordfish) dishes.

I went to Border Cafe tonite for a birthday celebration. What a mistake!! The service was very good, along with the margaritas. The food was absolutely horrible. I ordered a beef fajita and it came with enough onions on it to qualify for a migrant harvest. They then loaded a train load of hot spice on it, making it uneatable! I sent it back with quite a sour expression from the manager. I told her I was unaware that this fajita was going to be spiced as it didn't indicate it on the menu and I couldn't eat it. She took it back and not 5 minutes later brings out the filet mignon with a ton of totally raw onions on top of it. Nothing was cooked, so therefore, I went without a meal at this affair. I didn't nor couldn't do a take out bag as the food wasn't worth feeding to my dogs. The manager didn't even offer to comp the meal as I certainly didn't ask. The manager was a douchbag and didn't even give a hoot about customer relations or what people were forced to eat there. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. You want a real Mexican meal go to Jalapeno's in Gloucester. Never again. This place chupas!!!!! ahhhhhhh.
Pros: Good margaritas
Cons: food is horrible and management doesn't care about quality food.
