Welcome To The Border Cafe
This sit down Mexican restaurant is in Cambridge's Harvard Square (Map). I heard a rumor there's another location in Massachusetts but I'm not sure where. There's another location on Rte 1 South in Saugus, plus two in New Jersey, one in Virginia, and one in Delaware.
It's a fun atmosphere - more of a place for a drink than a quick snack. The menu has lots of choices, though I wasn't able to get a take out menu to scan so you'll just have to trust me. Chips and salsa are provided.
Table service doesn't woo me, but the cocktails do.

There's one in Saugus or somewhere in that vicinity. We see it whenever we drive from Beverly down in to Boston on Route 1 South.
