" Had a great meal with friends! We tried a variety of dishes, and a few were excellent while others were just mediocre. The highlight was the fish tacos, which were fresh and flavorful. Our server was friendly and attentive. Overall, a good experience, and I wouldn't mind returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a fabulous night out! Our server was amazing and suggested trying the tres leches for dessert, and it was delicious. The margaritas are a must-try, very refreshing. Looking forward to coming back with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great for happy hour! The drinks are reasonably priced, and the staff provides a great atmosphere. Food is pretty good, but it can be inconsistent. I’ve been several times, and the experience varies. I still enjoy it enough to keep coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Took my family here for dinner. The decor is lively, but the food fell short for what was expected. The service was decent but not exceptional. The kids enjoyed their meals, which matters! I might come back if just for the kids. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations after hearing so much about On The Border, but my visit left me somewhat underwhelmed. The ambiance was nice, but the food did not quite match my criteria for authenticity. The taco I ordered was more of a fusion dish than true Mexican fare. However, the staff was friendly, so I may give it another shot on a different day. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is a solid place for chips, salsa, and margaritas! The vibe is always fun, though the service can be hit or miss. Last time we went, the server seemed overwhelmed, which is understandable given the crowd. Food was good, and I’ll definitely return for the happy hour specials! " (*Curated Review*)

" On The Border has always been a family favorite, but this time it felt like they were under-staffed. We were seated right away but waited quite a while to get our drinks. The food was good, and the kids enjoyed their meals, but I hope the service improves next time. The atmosphere is always lively, which is a plus. " (*Curated Review*)
