" My partner and I had dinner here last week and it was perfectly decent. The service could have been a little bit faster; we were getting quite hungry before our food arrived. I had the taco salad, and it was fresh and filling but lacked some exciting flavors. Overall, the place is pleasant, and I think I’d go back but perhaps try something different next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a pretty mediocre time at On The Border. The food was fine but nothing special; I found my quesadilla to be soggy. The staff was friendly but seemed overwhelmed as the service was slow. The store was well-decorated though, and it had a vibrant atmosphere that I appreciated. I might give it another chance but wouldn’t rush to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, my experience at On The Border was surprisingly delightful! The tacos were fresh with robust flavor—a step above what I'd expect from a chain. We had fantastic service, with our waiter being particularly attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was lively and perfect for grabbing a quick bite with friends. The only thing I would criticize is the guacamole; it seemed to lack freshness. " (*Curated Review*)

" Went here with a few co-workers for lunch. I have to say, the lunch menu has a great selection and was very affordable! The nachos were a hit, loaded with toppings, and we were pleased with how quickly we were served. One coworker tried the burrito and said it was massive! I would 100% recommend this place, and I’ll definitely be back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful experience at On The Border! The ambiance was vibrant and welcoming. We ordered the ultimate fajitas, which were huge and packed with flavor. The complimentary chips and salsa were a nice touch, although the salsa had a bit more kick than I expected. Our server was attentive, checking in regularly. Will definitely return for more! " (*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*)
