" We visited On The Border last weekend and were quite underwhelmed. The restaurant was crowded, and although it took a while to be seated, we were greeted only sporadically by our server. The food was sub-par compared to other locations we've visited. My enchiladas were bland, and my husband's meal was served cold. I understand they may have been busy, but I expected better quality and service based on previous experiences. Won't be rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I used to enjoy On The Border more, but my last trip was less than stellar. The chips were stale and the service felt rushed even though the restaurant wasn’t busy. I ordered the carnitas and found them overcooked and dry. Just an overall disappointment as I was anticipating something better! I’m sad to say that I might not return, as I have had better meals elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" A charming restaurant that serves decent Mexican fare. My friends and I enjoyed a nice dinner, and the staff was pleasant. However, I didn't find anything particularly noteworthy about the food itself; it was okay but not memorable. The environment felt casual and it's likely a good place for a hangout, but I might not go out of my way to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Went for a dine-in lunch today. The vibe is cheerful, and the staff are friendly. Ordered the fish tacos, and they were fresh with a nice crunch to the tortillas. The portions felt fair, and I did not leave feeling overstuffed. This is a solid choice for lunch and I would happily return when in the area again. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was fine, but let's just say it didn't blow my mind. The carne asada was decent, but the beans lacked flavor and didn't pair well. Our server was friendly but nowhere to be seen when we needed refills or to ask questions about the menu. Overall, a casual meal, but I wouldn't particularly recommend it. " (*Curated Review*)

" We didn't not enjoy our experience at On The Border. The steak burrito I ordered was lackluster and the rice was cold. Our server did not check in on us enough, which left us feeling neglected. I’ll be looking for better options in the future. Sadly disappointed. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't get enough of On The Border! Their nachos are the best in town - crispy, loaded, and topped with fantastic salsa. I appreciate that they always seem to have a deal on drinks too. The staff is super friendly; they've recognized us as regulars and always make sure we're comfortable. I recommend this place to anyone looking for good food and a laid-back atmosphere.
