rev:text	Border MX is located on the east side of Queen Street between Old Pine and Church street which is between Britannia and Eglinton in Streetsville. Oh this place has been a Mexican restaurant for quite a while. Before it was Border MX it used to be La Cantina years ago. The inside doesn't look like it's changed much from the old days and there's a small patio with about 8 tables or so outside. There's a parking lot directly behind the restaurant which also sort of spills out to another parking lot that connects to the back street (Church) as well as having limited street parking. Since I remember coming to La Cantina years ago I was surprised and rather delighted that it was now Border MX. My first experience with Border MX was at their former Hurontario and Dundas location which is no longer but on the bright side, Streetsville is not all that far to go. It was my dinner for my friend's birthday which was last month so we had some catching up to do and she always leaves it up to me to pick the places to eat. My previous experience with Border MX was the other location though so I assumed that the food would be the same as the one at that location. The menu was the same and the staff as well. I remember being served by Jorge and he also remembered me. We decided to sit outside as it was still early and not that chilly. After having a good look at the menu we had pretty much decided what we'd want from drinks to dinner and we knew we were going to leave some room for the churros as well. My wife and friend split a liter of red sangria. I had asked for a mojito but the other server came back and said they didn't have any. I guess that means they were missing something that makes it up so I just ended up getting a beer. For starters we decided to go with the chips and guacamole as well as the corn. The corn was perfect because it came in 3 servings and there were 3 of us. The corn is one corn on the cob broken into 3 with seasoning and queso fresco. The chips are not regular chips. They are actual fried corn tortilla, crunchy and salted. The guacamole is ok but doesn't stand out as great. For the mains my wife ordered the Taco Norteno, my friend ordered a mix of tacos and I had asked for a chorizo chimichanga along with an order of fish tacos we could share. I had a chance to try the Taco Norteno from my wife and wow was it ever good. It was a large crispy fried tortilla made with chicken and beans and it came with a side of soup. The chorizo chimichanga was packed with meat and it was so tasty. The tortilla although fried, wasn't as crunchy as the Taco Norteno probably because it was so thick? Either way it was very savory and such a great flavor. The fish tacos were also crunchy as the pieces were battered crispy with the added crunch texture of the fresh veggies. The dishes come with a small side of rice and refried beans. For hot sauce they offer a spicier one and a green, milder one. The churros are really good and since they're made to order, there's a bit of a wait but they come hot out of the fryer and are the perfect complement to a nice dinner. Between seating, waiting to order and waiting for drinks and food it seems that the place was a bit busy. We did have to wait a while for drinks and even the appetizers. It seemed for the place there were only 2 servers and there were more people sitting outside than inside. There was a bit of a wait for everything it seemed and I suppose it just had to do with being busy. Besides the wait the service is more than friendly. Jorge is a kind and friendly host. I really enjoy the food at Border MX. It is one of the better places to get Mexican in the GTA that I can think of really. I like the fact that they make their own chips, hot sauce, and have things that are not your everyday type of Mexican but a wider variety of dishes. This time around the wait seemed a bit longer than expected but overall the service is good.
