15 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants near Cambridge

“Amazing food. The place to go if you want to find mouth watering tastie food.“

“This place does delicious Mexican food like I have never tasted before - I highly recommend the mole burrito. Service is excellent, prices are not high for such an expensive area and place is easily accessible and even open till comparatively late. I stayed in Cambridge for 6 days for a workshop and came here almost every night (when dinner was not provided by the workshop). I think I'll definitely be visiting whenever I'm in the city next and I highly recommend this for anyone visiting Cambridge.“

“Border Cafe always hits the spot.
Conveniently located on Route One northbound in Saugus, Mass., it's always my top choice for its great atmosphere and delicious Mexican cuisine. With a huge selection and reasonable prices, there's truly something for everyone. But what sets them apart is their amazing staff, always friendly, hard working, attentive, and committed to making every visit memorable.

Border Cafe never disappoints and keeps me coming back for more every time.I Highly Recommend 😋“

“Great spot for a quick bite. Never fails to produce a tasty burrito with great additions. I love getting a jumbo spicy steak with the cilantro lime rice and all the other toppings. It's been a weekly staple for my food rotation and I look forward to one of those tasty rolled up packages of goodness every time!“

“muy delicioso todo la comida es exquisita“

“Nice, clean restaurant. I ordered a beef burro with rice beans, and got a chicken burro with jambalaya. When I let the waitress know she got my correct order right away. The service was very good, I just thought the enchilada sauce was salty, and the chips were kind of shrapnel with huge pockets of salt.“

“Clean spot, always has seating. The Plantain Burrito is the best vegetarian (can be vegan) burrito in the city, hands-down, i will always come back for that (and ask for extra beans). That said... we tried the elote recently & it was awful. Still cold from the fridge, seared on a stovetop flame so it tasted vaguely like char & that gas smell. Their sauces are solid, the mango salsa is real star“

“My kids love the chips, guac, and tacos. Which makes it an easy dinner option for the family. We love the selections for the bowls and burritos. Very tasty!“

“Very good taqueria in a great location in Coolidge Corner, with metered street parking nearby.

Pleasant interiors, comfortable seating, clean restrooms. Fresh and tasty food in generous portions, friendly service, fair prices.

Yet not 5 stars because there are no fountain drinks and they don’t serve water for those who stay away from sugary drinks. Also no WiFi (for those of us who need to work on a laptop around lunch break). They play upbeat music in Spanish that is too loud and unsettling. The music makes you want to eat quickly and leave, which may be why most people just grab and go.“

“Great food, friendly service!“

“Love the place, and food is just delicious!“

“Food is amazing. One of the only places you get good chorizo. They randomly turn the music volume up to get you out at the end of the night even though it's not closing time. Regular disruptive drunks come in and they do nothing. Cashier lady seems unhappy often“

“I’ve been here a few times recently and every time has been perfect. No problems with customer service, as clean as a mall can be, but more importantly, the food is better than any other Taco Bell I’ve had in the state. That seems ridiculous but I’m not exaggerating. I thought Taco Bell was going downhill until I came here and realized that it was just those other places. I wanted to write a review purely for that reason.“

“Would go to Moe’s over Chipotle any day. Chipotle is so overrated that you almost don’t think of other options. Got the veggie burrito and bowl. They were both excellent! Love that I could add olives and pickled jalapeños to my food. Highly recommend!“
