Border Grille & Bar,

246 Mill Street (Searstown Mall), Leominster, (978) 840-0194.

The Border Grille has a neighborhood feel to it, with a cheery waitstaff that knows how to have fun. As expected, Tex-Mex fare is plentiful with choices like soft tacos, bean and cheese burritos, chimichangas, enchiladas, and several styles of fajitas. But there's a whole "Bayou Favorites" section as well, with jambalaya, ribs, Key West chicken, catfish, blackened chicken, and Cajun sirloin tips. It's barely 20 minutes from Worcester " worth the trip.

Full review.

Price Range: $4 - $15.
