First time getting food from this location ordered food to go today.I got chicken classic fajitas , Chicken was so over done it was like jerky .. tough , dry terrible.The flour tortillas were all hard stuck together and had holes in them , none were round it made it difficult to load them w / toppings and eat them.Second entree was a wet burrito was told it was “just ok…”Needless to say won’t be returning to this location.On a positive note the fajita veggies were cooked great and the guacamole was very good.Not great enough to warrant a second try. Very disappointing to say the least !Maybe when a customer orders food to go they don’t care what the quality of food is ?I had gotten the exact meal from 28 th st On The Border it was day and night difference.So I’d recommend 28 th street location over this one in Holland.The chicken was juicy and cooked properly in GR!So disappointed in holland on the border!

This place wasn't too busy. The food was well prepared and delicious. The Border queso beef enchiladas were fantastic.I sat at the bar and Kayla was attentive and performed her job very well.

Everything about this place is fantastic!! Food, service and prices. You just have to go and check it out yourself. This time I had the Gran Papi. A new dish with 5 different things on it. My wife had the fajita chicken salad.. We highly recommend this Mexican restaurant!!!

Showed up and there were virtually no other tables when we arrived. The food was mediocre at best and tasted like something I could male in my kitchen and not what I would get from a restaurant. Lastly the service was absolutely terrible. She was never around and disappeared for 20 minutes after we asked for our bills making us wait. Horrible experience and I will never be back.

It was snowing and some restaurants had just lost power. We found this restaurant all lit up. We ordered tacos, ultimate fajitas and a burrito. We also had two pitchers of ice with a little margarita in it. $55 for the pitchers and I’m telling you there had to be close to $30 of ice!! Food was good but my two tacos looked like a kiddie menu item. Service was just okay but the “suggested tip” calculations were based on the food, beverages and sales tax. Really? You want $2 extra tip because we had $10 in sales tax? Time for a reality check.Dietary restrictions: We are gluten free. The chips are fried in oil with everything else so cross contamination is an issue. They did not offer other accommodations (a bag of GF chips) as an alternative. There is a QR code you must access to see their GF menu as the regular menu does not make dietary distinctions. But, apparently it is okay to make your customers do the work rather than just have GF menus to hand out like most other restaurants. So, be careful if you have Celiac.

Staff was great! They were just a little understaffed for New Years Eve. Food was good although the steak I got for the Fajita was just eh. Everything else was really good.
