South of the Border is a hole-in-the-wall type place in Lewiston located across from Busytown Bikes (which was a bakery back in the day). They have approximately seating for 30 or so, but are very popular for take-out. This is a go-to place for my Dad and I tend to tag along. The staff is very friendly and the ambiance is the typical Mexican style with complimenting decor. Food is made fairly fast and the quality of the food is decent. The plain burritos are made with ground meet, somewhat seasoned, the refried beans were as expected and the rice was a bit on the dry side like it had been sitting around. You get plenty of food which is why they are a popular spot. If you are looking to satisfy those Mexican cravings, this is a good spot to hit. I won't criticize it for not being fully authentic, because they don't claim to be. They advertise americanized style Mexican and that is what you get.
Excellent food and peoples. Been hitting up this spot since the late 80s. Definitely recommend the Supah Burrito ? ?

This is not authentic Mexican food at all. The hot sauce is like marinara and the tacos are what you'd get from an Ortega kit from the grocery store. 0 out of 10, do not recommend. A crime to call this Mexican food..

Don't be fooled by no cars in the parking lot! This place does mostly take out but has a nice little dining area. They even let us bring our puppy in since we were en route to northern Maine. Enchiladas, nachos and taco salad were all good. Staff were also friendly.
The food is amazing here. I love the Wednesday special, I get it enchilada style, extra cheese, and extra onions. They are super nice. If you eat there, they make sure you enjoy your meal. It's a good thing I don't live closer, lol.
