Where are the Best Cheap Eats in Boston, Massachusetts?
Ah, Border Cafe. I love that somehow, though I’m sure you are always swamped in the kitchen, that your proteins are always cooked perfectly – my food always arrives piping hot at the table, any the chicken always had a great sear on the outside, but is perfectly juicy on the inside. Next, don’t even get me started on the condiments/sauces! My favorites are the mango salsa – perfectly sweet mango cubes with just the right spicy/citrus-y bite to them, the perfectly sweet-spicy-garlicky chipotle lime glaze for the plantains, and the Cajun spiced marmalade, just to name a few. The tortilla chips here are not just a starter, they are a way of life – freshly fried throughout the day, they pair exceptionally well with the guacamole, which I would personally prefer a bit more on the chunky side, but that’s just me. As far as downsides – there are not a lot of exciting vegetarian options here. Most of the choices are heavy on cheese and light on creativity. I also almost always get not-the-best
This sandwich is absolutely delicious!! the combination of the soft tender beef with the advocado sauce, cheese and string beans doesn’t sound as appealing but you have to try it yourself. the line is worth the wait and it moves quickly, sometimes quicker than some fast food places. they closed down for a little while when there was construction of the Filene’s building and I was devastated. I am so glad they opened right back up. The small sandwich is a great size for lunch. Check it out!!Pros + fast and deliciousCons – i haven’t found any cons of the million times I have been there
