The only plus point about this place is that it's good for large groups.
I'm always amazed at the line of people waiting to get into the Border Cafe.. while the bar food is ok, and the restaurant food is bland but passable, I wouldn't say that it warrants the reputation that it seems to have. And the house margaritas are nasty (far too sweet) -- if you have to go, get a top-shelf marg, you'll be happy you did.
If you want good Mexican food and amazing margaritas, head to the Forest Cafe on Mass Ave.
Pros: inexpensive, convenient location
Cons: crowded, house margaritas, bland food
