First off, I love Border Cafe's food and their wait staff is generally nice and efficient. HOWEVER, as a 23yo woman who has successfully used her very real Illinois ID in many places around Cambridge since I arrived last year, I was appalled and completely embarrassed by the way that I was treated by the manager on duty. If he had bothered to scan my ID or had any knowledge about IDs from other states (as someone who works in a restaurant in Cambridge should given the diverse population that lives here), it would have been no problem. Instead, he was unnecessarily rude, claimed the ID was fake, and refused to give it back. He threatened to have a cop come look at the ID and I said yes, please. Eventually, after a long wait he came up with the shoddy excuse that "here at Border Cafe we don't serve alcohol to people with out-of-state IDs" which I know to be completely false, given I have enjoyed many margaritas and Coronas here before. Honestly, I do love the food here but I don't see myself returning any time soon.

Great prices, great food! So busy it's hard to get a table. Does not take reservations, if you bring a large party you're bound to be waiting for up to 40 minutes for a table. Good margaritas, festive decorations. Recommended!

Super delicious food and drink at affordable prices!! This has gotta be the best margarita I've ever had, and they only cost $7.50! As for food, the portion sizes are generous, the prices low, and everything is super tasty. I've gotten the swordfish tacos (come with half of an avocado!) and the beef fajitas (come sizzling on a pan) and both were incredibly good. There's also quite the vegetarian menu. The service was very quick for how many people we were (over 10 each time), and if you're waiting to get seated, you can always stop wait at the bar.

We had the best time. Food was amazing, the prices were so reasonable & our waiter was so attentive. He would come over right before we ran out of something and it was very busy so we were very impressed by his dedicated service. The atmosphere was wonderful as well. All around a very very good experience.

음식 푸짐하고 맛도 좋네요. Very delicious food with generous quantity. To be honest I ordered too much. Should have ordered less first. Great food great ambience!!! Price also very generous compared to the food and service.
