My fiance and I had the most wonderful server! Colleen is such a kind person and attentive waitress. She was very diligent about drinks and how our food turned out, which was amazing! We always love the food here, especially the sides! Rice and beans are always delicious, and the corn cakes are to die for. The burritos were amazing, and the tamales and enchiladas were perfection. The kids’ meals are a great size, too!Colleen had the most wonderful conversation with us about our wedding happening the next day…and even went above and beyond to write on our bag a sweet congratulations! She gave some words of wisdom for the big day and was just so kind! I was blown away how a complete stranger could connect with us like that, but when she told us that she had been in 14 weddings herself already, that made sense. What a likable person and joyful soul! Thank you, Colleen, and thank you, Border Cantina, for making our dinner before our wedding day so enjoyable! We will be back again and again.

Oh my goodness, this place is a hidden gem! I mean, where has it been all my life? The customer service is out of this world, like seriously, they must have gone to charm school or something. Everyone from the hostess to the servers to the kitchen staff, they’re all so warm and welcoming. It feels like you’re at a friend’s place, except the food is way better than your friend’s cooking (sorry, not sorry).

Looking for a place to eat while visiting. Randomly picked Border Cantina and glad we did. Service was a little slow (45min to get food), BUT we did have 7 people on top of several other 5+ groups already there.

The food was great. We had two male servers, one was great and the other was average at best. They had vastly different demeanors. One was very cheerful and accommodating, the other seemed bothered and seldom smiled. The food was really good. I was in a birthday party of 7 and only 1 person didn’t like their food. The server did let her replace it with a complimentary take-out entree. The atmosphere was fun and festive and the margaritas were really good.

Food was great as always. In the last 3 weeks of our visits, we were 1.forgotten, 2. Terrible service both times. It wasn’t very busy as we went around 7:00 pm. Everytime. We go on taco Tuesdays, but don’t always order just the tacos.

Love the staff and food. It’s always packed in here but they’re quick about getting you a table without providing less customer service. Th fajitas are fire and I love how they come out sizzling. The carry out food is just as excellent! 10/10 highly recommend!

My family and I miss the Border Cantina that was in Brighton. My father and I always order the large nacho Supreme. Their nachos are unique compared to any where eles. A mountain of mixed chips, cheese, jalapeños, onions, chicken or beef. I recommend the chicken. My mother always get their steak fajitas. My kids always get the trios enchiladas. This is a great place to eat. Large portions for the price. Oh and there corn cake is magnificent .

We got a gift card for a gift. We were disappointed. As we were walking in. A lady with blonde hair behind the bar area, had her hair upside down, spraying it with hairspray. Not good. Then 2 flies kept buzzing around. We ask for extra napkins and when we opened one it was already dirty. Not good. When chewing the rice there was hard rice, like stones, not good. And the taco shells were like taco bell shells. Not authentic. We will not go back!

The food and the service was truly amazing. The salsa did not have any heat which was a little disappointing. The fajita Grande was a meal fit for four people. I am looking forward to next year, I will be back when I am in the area. We got more than we expected.
