The Border Table - Arcata (CA)

5 /5 Smith Amy: We came for the burgers as this used to be a great burger joint, got there and decided to give it a try, we were not dissapointed! I got the birria special and it was sooo good I cleared the very generously plated amount. My husband got the chicken sando and he liked his too. The iced tea was nice and strong, a detail overlooked by many, and the wait staff was friendly and attentive. We sat outside as it was a beautiful sunny day, it wasn’t overly packed but we were also there on a Sunday at 12:30pm. Hard to find places open on that day of the week. And it’s off the beaten path so no traffic whipping by. It was a lovely day, great food, great service. They’ve only been open since August 2025 so hop on over and give them a try!

5 /5 Mindi Curran: Great Mexican food at the best prices in Arcata. Next to Dead Reckoning beer tavern, which is excellent. The two places collaborate, so you can eat great food in a great bar.

5 /5 Micalyn Harris: I’ve been here multiple times and it is legit my favorite restaurant in all of Humboldt County. Everything on the menu is super delicious, but the Mexican specials are on a whole different level. The huevos rancheros, the chile verde, and the birria plate are absolutely out of control—so flavorful and perfectly made. I love coming here with my family, but it’s also one of my favorite spots to meet up with girlfriends. The vibe is great, and they have amazing mimosas, too. I also love their hours—they’re open late, so there’s always plenty of time to enjoy a delicious dinner. It’s worth the drive from Eureka every single time. So, so delicious. Go check it out—you won’t regret it!

5 /5 Miguel Vargas: This place is amazing. I got the lumberjacks breakfast and it was delicious. The gravy had big pieces of bacon, the chicken fried steak was tender. The biscuits were pretty good. Overall I would recommend this place. The waffle was a great sweet treat as the cherry on top.

5 /5 Perry Debby: I typically order to go more than I dine in, but I have come down and ordered to go twice on Friday nights and the atmosphers is chill with an outdoor seating area and live music close by. Today I called in a brunch order that was ready when I got there and still hot when I got it home. Everything that I have tried so far has been really tasty! According to my somewhat picky roommate the sweet potato fries are the best he has ever had! I agree! I am very happy to have found this cozy, family owned restaurant and I can easily say that Ts is my new go to for those work days and late weekend mornings when I dont feel like cooking and want something quick, easy, tasty, and bonus points affordable.
