" Visited On The Border last night with friends. Overall, the experience was enjoyable. The margaritas were excellent—strong and flavorful! However, my chicken quesadilla was underwhelming, as it lacked seasoning and came with a side of rice that felt a bit overcooked. On the plus side, the staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. I'd recommend this place for drinks, but might skip the entrees next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to try On The Border after hearing my friends rave about it. The chips and salsa to start were addictive! For the main course, I tried the veggie fajitas, but they felt a bit bland compared to what I was expecting from a Mexican restaurant. The service could have been friendlier, and we had to flag our waiter multiple times for refills. I’ll give it another shot, but my first visit was just okay. " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing experience! First time at On The Border and I couldn't be happier with the food. My fajitas were seasoned perfectly, and the complimentary chips and salsa were hard to resist. The server was efficient and had a smile the whole time which made the dining experience even better. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant if you love vibrant atmosphere and delicious food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decent Mexican restaurant. The food was good, but I was hoping for more authentic flavors. The service was average; we waited a bit too long for our entrees. The environment was lively and the chips were freshly made, which I loved. All in all, it's a solid choice if you're in a hurry, but not the best for a leisurely dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing visit the other night. The waiter didn’t seem to care about our table. We waited ages for our food and my burrito tasted bland. The atmosphere is festive but it can’t make up for poorer quality food. I won't be rushing to return anytime soon unless I hear that it’s improved. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience overall. I had heard great things about this restaurant, but my experience fell short. The service was slow and lacked attention to detail. My burrito came out cold, which was a big letdown. The only redeeming quality was the complimentary salsa, which was decent. I might give it another try, but I’ll manage my expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was a fantastic meal! The atmosphere was lively and welcoming. I enjoyed the chicken tacos—they were well-seasoned and topped perfectly. The staff was friendly and provided great service. I have zero complaints and would happily return! " (*Curated Review*)
