" The nachos I ordered were a delightful treat! They were fresh and generous in toppings. I enjoyed their homemade salsa too, which was just spicy enough for my taste. The restaurant itself was cozy but quite packed during lunch. I appreciated the quick service and the welcoming attitude of the staff. I left feeling satisfied and planning my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing great things from friends, my wife and I decided to check out North of the Border, and we’re so glad we did! The salsa was incredible, and the tacos had the right amount of spice that made them irresistible. It felt like we were at a family gathering with how inviting the staff was. We even got complimentary chips! Only thing was a wait for our food, but it was worth every minute. We will definitely be coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Really delicious food with amazing flavors! Every time I visit, I leave full and satisfied. The menu has such a variety of options, but I keep falling back on the classics like the tres tacos. The staff have always been incredibly nice; they treat you like family. The ambiance has a relaxed vibe that makes you want to linger longer. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait during peak hours; it’s totally worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is everything I was looking for in authentic Mexican food! The salsa was fresh and made in-house, and the chips were crispy and hot. I love supporting local restaurants that offer food made with real ingredients. The horchata was the best I've ever had! I do wish they had a larger dining area, though, because it gets quite busy during dinner hours. I usually do takeout to save some time. If you’re considering a visit, just go already; you won’t regret it! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a hidden gem! The horchata was the best I’ve had, and their tacos were all handmade, something you don’t find in many places. I ordered three different tacos, and each one had its distinct flavor that tantalized my taste buds. The atmosphere felt friendly and welcoming. My only complaint was the wait time for food; it took a little longer than expected, although it was clear they were busy. Will definitely be coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who appreciates authentic Mexican food, I must say North of the Border is a stand-out. The tacos are authentic and bursting with flavor. The portions are sizable, making it great value for the price. I thoroughly enjoyed the carne asada tacos; the cilantro and onions complemented the meat nicely. My only complaint is the narrow seating which can make it a tight squeeze during busy hours. Regardless, it’s a must-visit if you're in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited last week and was slightly disappointed. The tacos were decent but lacked the authentic flavor I anticipated based on the reviews. The service was friendly, but it was quite crowded, which made it feel rushed. I had high expectations, perhaps too high. I might consider giving it another try, but my first experience didn't meet the hype for me. " (*Curated Review*)
