    This casual Tex-Mex chain restaurant is adequate. Especially when you’re in hurry, hangry, and just can’t pick just one appetizer to quite your stomach, then Border Sampler will suffice. The Border Sampler comes with chicken quesadillas, fajita steak nachos and mini chicken chimis. I also tried calling their chicken fajitas during another visit. It was pretty good. Great service and friendly staff.

    I admit I was a little apprehensive about going to this place after reading the previous reviews. But I’m glad to say that I had a great experience. The server was very prompt and polite. She was not overly friendly nor brusque in her manner. She was a true professional. Thanks, Kelly! I ordered The Fiesta Trio with the tortilla soup, chicken fajitas, and the brownie sundae. The order was processed quickly and brought to my table sizzling hot! I was so full from all of it that I couldn’t even finish my dessert. Definitely going back, especially if they have other great servers.

    Food was good but server was off his game today because they were short staffed and I wish he would had just taken the time to explain that they were short handed tonight and I would have definitely cut him some slack but by the time I was ready to pay and leave because of the elongated wait it made me not even want to tip him any longer and I was almost tempted to nicely walk out. As far as the manger goes yes I understand that she had no control over whoever she staffed for the shift not showing up but I feel like if she knew people were running behind why not take action to step in as a server for the time being to help your wait staff out and explain to your patrons while they're being seated or coming in the door that the service is going to be a little slower than usual but please be patient with us.. But before I left she assured me that the true of service I had today would but happen the next time and I'm definitely going to take her up on it 😌

    Had a good time here Food was pretty good but I'm picky with my "mexican inspired" food. Chicken fajitas There was Corn in rice, but it had a good consistency, not very seasoned. Beans were also not seasoned but was still good. Chicken well spiced which was surprising, good caramelized onions, pepers not seasoned. Chicken tortilla soup Best soup ever. It looks awful, but it tastes great. It had some zucchini in it, and I was sceptical, but it was perfect. Only thing could have been better were the tortilla chips and the avocado was useless. Appetizer 'Sampler' Great queso! Mini Chimis were great. Could pass on the nachos. Fantastic quesadilla. Chimichanga Chimi - cheese - not oilly, moist Good flavors Waiter Shamar 8/10, took a second to warm up to us, but was then super great. Very helpful. Dessert Worst part of the whole meal brownie was so disappointing, freezer burn ice cream, Susan used the box brownie. Price Did a daily special so it came out to a great price.

    Popped in for a beer and ballgame during rush-hour. Mesquite grilled sirloin and shrimp skewers were pretty good and beer was as cold as valley forge!

    The food was ok. Waitress seemed annoyed that I tried to make minor changes to make my burrito vegetarian. Not very impressed

    New to Baltimore and this location is very quiet. Ate on the patio and we we were the only ones out there. Great food. Chain quality but its good!

    Terrible service! I'm on crutches and waiting to place my take-out order. The manager gave me a menu and disappeared. Three waitresses passed me by looking at the ground as I attempted to make eye contact to place my order until one verbally signalled to another that I needed assistance. If the food is as bad as the service I wont bother updating from one star....and you as me to walk to the register to pay??? HOW SWAY???
