I know a lot of people have beef with Border Grill (it being an upscale Mexican restaurant and all), but I’ve always kinda liked this place. And what I like even more is the fact that they have happy hour during the week and on the weekends after 10pm. The drinks (margaritas, mojitos, and my fave, sangria) are $4 and the tacos (lamb tacos?? umm, yes please!) and ceviche shots (I cannot tell you how much I LOVE ceviche) are $3.

This Cal-Mex spot is a good place to go if you’re looking for a nightlifey atmosphere for your birthday dinner. The bar area is usually pretty hopping on weekend nights and the restaurant also has DJ sets on some nights. I really like the food here— it’s not traditional Mexican fare, but it’s a fresh take on old favorites. If you’re celebrating a milestone birthday and want to invite everyone you know and their mother, the restaurant has a private room upstairs. I came here for my birthday several years ago, and if I’m remembering correctly I think they gave me free birthday flan…
