This was our first time at North of the Border 1, and I can't believe how we have never stopped to eat here. We had the steak tacos, and they were amazing. It's a drive from our house, but well worth it. Everyone was so friendly, and we will definitely go back.👍
Outdated menu graphics, overly repetitive attention grabbers, outdated and cheap indoor decor...
Yes, you're right. It's the perfect place for tacos. Spicy and smooth salsa, abundant and varied sauces that come with their own squirt bottles (3 per table), asada that is well marinated and seasoned, and all served quickly, happily, and yet surprisingly cheaply.
I'd go here every single day and twice on Sundays if I lived closer.
So mildly obsessed with this place so I clearly could be biased. We loved their suizo steak burritos. I have also done the the steak tacos and those were very good too but the suizo burrito is just next level. Ginormous and reasonably priced. Nice to go somewhere that hasn’t skyrocketed their prices! Another favorite aspect was there different levels of sauces. All such good flavors but I truly appreciate the different options and heat levels!
How have I not reviewed this place before? I love this restaurant! It's my favorite place for Mexican food. The staff is awesome, the food is awesome, and their habanero sauce is the best I've ever tried.
The food is authentic and fantastic, the set up is really cool and the service was awesome I will definitely be back. Also the margaritas are pretty damn good!
Always great service. Best tacos around. Quick service everytime. I would gladly pay more for their food.
First time. The food is so freakin good. Honestly. It’s amazing.
The monster quesadilla does not disappoint. Nor do the tortas. We will be back again.
I’m honestly surprised with how good the service was
These kind of places are hit or mess all depends on the Chef and the owner of the store on how they want to run it
I would say this one is definitely a hit
Very good rice and beans
I’m very glad I stopped in
