Have been coming here for over 15 years. Stop in every time we travel between Lewes and Philly. Great Mexican food and great atmosphere.

I’ve been going here for about two years now and this is my of my favorite restaurants in the area. The Baja Shrimp tacos have this amazing sauce that makes the meal so so good. And the burros have such a good sauce too. I also love their fries, they’re so unique with them being so thin. The service here is also great. You get sat quickly, your server comes over fast, and your food comes out fast. The other night I had this server Dana who was so sweet and we had a nice conversation. It was great because I was dining alone so I was happy to have someone to talk to. And she recommended the pastelitos and they were delicious. Highly recommend!!!

Jose's Border Cafe Stanton-Christiana Rd Newark, DE Dinner for two, April 15, 2025. Our two meals were served and we barely got started eating and the server (Davin M) brought our check and stated you can pay whenever you are ready. My thoughts were, what if we want something else, drinks, dessert, etc., don't push us out the door before we can eat. Then one meal had a long hair in it which I pulled out of my mouth with a byte of food. Needless to say I was done with this restaurant. The server didn't seem overly concerned and said he would tell the manager. His manager came out and said she would take one meal off the bill. I stacked the two meals and said that was unacceptable because we are not eating either meal because of their uncleanlenes in the kitchen. She took the hint and adjusted our bill leaving the drinks to be paid for. This restaurant manager didn't have the decency to remove the drinks along with the hairy food much less show any ownership to her kitchen staff serving food with hair in it. I have to wonder how filthy their kitchen is.

Yum! We drive an hour to eat here and it’s so worth it! Chicken quesadillas are the best! The servers are friendly and service is quick. Delicious!

We were in a road trip from South Carolina and chose to stop at one of our favorite restaurants. We were so bummed to realize they have removed many items from their menu. Jim Bowie with the bourbon reduction cream sauce was our favorite dishes! Many other items removed as well.

We came all the way from Staten Island to Border cafe aka JOSE TEJAS . To satisfy my craving for the SEAFOOD ENCHILADAS. One of my friends and family’s favorite dish from Jose Tejas . They discontinued the seafood enchiladas at the Woodbridge location. WHY ?? . Since they changed the menu we do not go to the one in Woodbridge. Also my wife’s favorite Chicken Guadalajara , discontinued. WHY ?? Anyway. Every thing we ate and drank at the border cafe was EXCELLENT. Except. The new tortillas chips are not good. They just changed the chips recently. I’m sure these are less expensive. But we still left satisfied with a smile . Please bring the SEAFOOD ENCHILADAS back to the Woodbridge location.
The food is amazing! I ordered the fried broccoli and the chicken burro. My wife ordered the beef burro and a side grilled mango avocado. Both got the jambalaya on sid with burro. We were just amazed with everything. The service is always great! They all wear white coats and action very professional. I highly recommend with this place. The atmosphere is very cool Southern cajun small town vibe.

My family and I have been going to Borders for years. I have never been disappointed in the food or service. Borders prices are very reasonable for a family of four. They are the best restaurant in Newark for great service and good prices. Thank you
