I would suggest any translation by NTdG, they are only going to get harder/more expensive to find.
This brown volume is worth snagging, it has a lot of NTdG translations and translations by others and is a cut above the Penguin Collected Fictions in my opinion

His translation of The Book of Sand is the stand-alone NTdG translation I would most highly recommend to a Borges fan though, if you're willing to drop the cheddar

Tada! I really liked the book I had like this because it made it much, much easier to read more naturally, because instead of having to look up every word i didn't know (or plug huge chunks into a translator), you could just look over and read the Spanish gloss. Apparently you can get a used copy for $3!
Also, I would suggest seeing if you have any used book stores. We have a chain called "Half priced books" which has (you guessed it) really cheap, half off used books with a rather large Spanish section. The books you'll find there will range in difficulty, with some being geared towards learners and some being authentic novels.
Good luck!
