Chicken Burro, Pass The Grease

I like my food dry. Dry as in not smothered in grease. No such luck for the chicken burro from the Border Cafe.

You can see the oil reflecting the light on the Jambalaya rice and the cheese from the enchilado style delivery.

The meal was good, but really, this isn't the kind of thing you can eat every day. To the new readers: I eat burritos almost every day.

This Border Cafe meal was rated: 5.1.

Welcome To The Border Cafe

This sit down Mexican restaurant is in Cambridge's Harvard Square (Map). I heard a rumor there's another location in Massachusetts but I'm not sure where. There's another location on Rte 1 South in Saugus, plus two in New Jersey, one in Virginia, and one in Delaware.

It's a fun atmosphere - more of a place for a drink than a quick snack. The menu has lots of choices, though I wasn't able to get a take out menu to scan so you'll just have to trust me. Chips and salsa are provided.

Table service doesn't woo me, but the cocktails do.
