" I was not impressed with my last visit. The Tex-Mex flavors were bland, and my tacos were soggy. While I got good service, I expected better food quality overall. The cleanliness could also use some improvement; our table felt sticky. I'd need more convincing to return in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Did not love my experience here. The food felt lackluster—not what I expect from a Mexican restaurant. Service was okay but there were times when we felt forgotten. The place was clean enough, and I appreciated the decor, but I won’t return for the food alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" Though the service was friendly, my meal was a letdown. I ordered a burrito expecting fresh ingredients; instead, it came cold and lacked the vibrant flavors typical of authentic Mexican cooking. Additionally, the cleanliness of our table left much to be desired. I might consider a return under different circumstances, but it's not a priority for me right now. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has become one of my favorites! The shrimp tacos are top-notch and the service is always friendly. The atmosphere is fun, making it a great spot for gatherings with friends or family. Looking forward to coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was mediocre and not what I would expect from a restaurant specializing in Mexican cuisine. The server was polite, but the overall experience didn't leave me with any desire to come back. I found the place slightly dirty, which was not appealing. I’d recommend looking elsewhere for a meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" On The Border has excellent nachos and tasty margaritas that are the highlight of my visits! The atmosphere is perfect for a fun night out with friends. I love that they have a variety of spicy sauces available, it truly brings life to their dishes. The service is usually great, even during busy nights. I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm glad I stopped by to try this place! The service was excellent and fast, but I found the food lacking. My burrito was slightly bland and the guacamole didn't match my expectations. The restaurant ambiance was nice and lively, so all hope isn’t lost. I may try again, but I won’t rush back. " (*Curated Review*)
