The Border Mexican Restaurant

This restaurant is fantastic. It is my favorite Mexican restaurant in metro Atlanta. The food is always fresh and flavorful, the staff is friendly, efficient and helpful. It has a fun authentic feel. I've been three times and always want to come back. Definitely try to table made guac. more

The food here is solid. It's pretty obvious that they are serving authentic Mexican cuisine. The cheese dip with jalape?os is right on. Their salsa has just the right kick & isn't chunky, which I like. Great cheese enchiladas. I've had their margaritas too & they're really good as well. . You get chips, salsa, queso, drinks all pretty quickly. Food comes out quickly too. Still, if you want good Mexican eats, this is the place. I go from time to time just to have that awesome cheese dip! more

Ask for Carlos! He is an awesome server! Mango Margaria and their homemade Sangria are heaven in a glass!! Food is ok, but the service is fast and friendly. It is the perfect perfect perfect lunch place! more

They try super hard to take care of everyone. The food is amazing our favorite in the area. The drinks are good. more

By far the best mexican food in Atlanta and I have tried a ton !!!!!! and the price is just right too !!!!! so the place is not modern but who cares and by the way the people that work there are authentic mexican. I love it !!! more

My family and I love this restaurant. It is a local favorite and always has great food. We have tried almost everything on the menu, but my favorite dish is the Yolandas (enchiladas). more

Best Mexican in Smyrna, and believe me I have tried several in Smyrna. The Spicy Burrito is enough for two and is delicious. more

I love this place. Have tried many other places and none compare. My family and I come all the time and when I worked in the area my co-workers and I came at least twice a week. It is authentic Mexican food. Some of the staff don't even speak English. The margaritas are awesome also!! more

Best cheese dip around for me. I love the plain queso blanco.. No meat, jalape?os, tomatoes etc necessary.\r \r The chicken and steak fajitas are delicious. Including the soft tortillas - dip those in your queso! Tacos and enchiladas are good. I'm not a huge fan of tequila or rum but it have had a few margaritas/daiquiris here and they're pretty good. \r \r Service is pretty good. They're very friendly and kind but they may be busy/slow. Their tee shirts crack me up, too: ""Our English is not great but we won't make fun of your Spanish.""\r \r They've got a cool patio that is currently being worked on. Great Mexican in the Cumberland area. more

Border is my husband's and my go-to Mexican restaurant for almost three years. Prices are normal, food is good. There's not a lot of turnover in the staff, and for the most part, our service had been excellent (and we have visited The Border probably 30 times)!!! We normally share the fajita nachos and a pitcher of beer, and man, does it hit the spot. If you're in the mood for Mexican, we definitely recommend The Border, as we have always had a great experience! more

This is my favorite local Mexican place! The older waiter is by far my favorite. He is attentive, fast, and makes everyone want to enjoy themselves. I like the outside eating area. It's perfect for those days when the weather is nice. \r \r The margaritas are great!! more

Have eaten here many times. The food is authentic. The staff is awesome. Love this place! more

This is our favorite place to go for mexican. They have the best chicken nachos and margaritas.\r \r Thanks Border for helping us with our margarita fix. more

My wife and I and many friends have had lunch many times over the past 4 yrs. the good is great and fresh. The service is great and friendly. Of course over 50-60 times of eating there we have had 1-2 times with not up to par food and service. They are more than willing to substitute meals and the owner is very responsive to service problems. The meals are extremely good prices. Recommend highly. more

The lunch menu is great! They have a 4.75 deal every day I think. Our servers have been better as well. I do think they are worth giving a chance. I like the ambiance of this restaurant. We'll keep coming here on probably a monthly basis and I'll update as necessary. more

""A tortilla is either corn or wheat. But a corn tortilla folded and filled is a taco, whereas a filled wheat tortilla is a burrito. Deep fry a burrito, it's a chimichanga.Toast a tortilla, it's a tostada. Roll it, it's an enchilada."" -- One Day (2011)\r \r I love a good cheesy queso for my chips - this one was so addictive that I couldn't tell you if I tried the salsa...is that bad? Gooey, drippy, just the cheese. They offer it with lots of goodies, but that's for another trip.\r \r My lunch was pretty straightforward - I was hungry, I needed food (cheap and quick and still good tasting) and according to a friend - this would foot the bill. She was not wrong. We had a very polite waiter who brought us drinks pretty quick (unsweet iced tea for me) and also our bowl of queso. I looked over the lunch combos and knowing I like all the Mexican classics, I opted for the #3 - taco, enchilada with rice and beans.\r \r I swear, we blinked and the food came. As is usual at these places - the plate was screaming HOT. The taco (ground beef) was pretty good. Typical, crunchy corn taco shell (and by typical, I mean American) - but tasty nonetheless. The meat could have had more flavor - but I am used to the ground beef being bland in these places. My enchilada - I ordered cheese (as if I did not have enough cheese in my queso and melted on top of everything). I love my dairy. This was great - enchilada sauce was pretty authentic tasting and the cheese was pretty melty without burning the insides of my mouth.\r \r The rice and beans - as you would expect. I'm sure the beans are cooked with lard - which is why they are super flavorful and probably added to my waistline more than I would have liked. Our drinks were kept refilled and our check was dropped off without needing to ask (you pay at the front, BTW).\r \r Overall, a great experience and perfect for a quick lunch on a busy workday. more

The food is very good and service is outstanding. The atmosphere is superb and restaurant is very clean. Only dined at lunch. more
