Border Cafe near Harvard Square in Cambridge

Last Friday, we met each other near Harvard Square. It was a 12-15 minute walk from our apartment and a bus ride from Ben’s office. We walked around a little bit, visited a bookstore, and used our iPhones to find a restaurant.

We walked down Church Street to find Border Cafe, a Tex-Mex and Cajun restaurant. It was packed!

The wait was only 15 minutes. When our buzzer went off, they gave us a piece of paper with our name, number in party, and some other number- and told us to walk down the stairs. There was another level to the huge restaurant.

It took a few minutes for our waiter to come, but they brought out salsa and their drink glasses were huge.

Our orders were taken and it seemed like 5 minutes later, our food was brought out.

Erica got the Corn and Black Bean Empanadas. It consisted of four flaky handmade pastries stuffed with seasoned corn, black beans, peppers, cilantro, and Monterey Jack cheese, served with roasted red pepper sauce:

Benjamin got the chicken burro with rice and beans:

The food was good and the service was good too! Definitely a place to go back to and bring visitors!
