" I was disappointed with my recent meal at On The Border. I found the chicken in my enchiladas dry, and the rice lacked flavor. The staff did their best to assist me, but it fell flat regarding the quality of the food. I'm hoping it was just an off night, but I’ll be trying a different location next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited On The Border with a friend and had a blast! The staff were super accommodating and were able to make a great recommendation on their spicy chicken nachos, which were incredible. The environment was fun and the perfect setting for a casual dinner. I’ll definitely be coming back soon to try the rest of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience at On The Border was less than delightful. The meal took an eternity to arrive, and when it did, it was lukewarm and uninspired. I had high hopes for the grilled chicken but ended up with dry pieces that lacked flavor. The atmosphere was decent, but the food simply did not do it for me. I probably won’t be coming back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" On The Border has always held a special place in my heart because of the family gatherings we used to have there. I recently took my kids there and they were fascinated by the vibrant colors and friendly staff. We had a blast ordering the nachos, which were generously topped and delicious! The staff was quick but friendly, making the experience a heartfelt one for us. Can't wait to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" My first visit to On The Border was a mix of highs and lows. The ambiance was great, and the chips and salsa really impressed me, but I was disappointed with my entrée. I ordered the shrimp tacos, and the shrimp seemed overcooked, which was a letdown. The service was average; we waited a bit longer than I’d like for refills. It was frustrating, but I’d be willing to give it another shot, hoping for consistency across the board. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a hectic day and opted for takeout from On The Border. The order was ready quickly, and I was pleased with the quality of the food. However, the salsa was a little on the runny side, which was a minor letdown. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and would recommend it for a cozy night in. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a positive experience overall at On The Border. The food was tasty and felt well-cooked, especially the steak fajitas that had a smoky flavor. The service was okay, a bit slow to refill drinks, but the servers were polite. The ambience made up for the minor service slip, as it was fun and family-friendly. Would definitely recommend to friends looking for a casual dinner! " (*Curated Review*)
