" On The Border is a staple for Tex-Mex cravings! Their chips and fresh salsa are hard to beat. I often visit during happy hour for great drink specials. The portions are substantial. I usually leave feeling full. However, I do think they can improve consistency in service; some visits have been quite quick, while others have dragged a bit. Still, if you are looking for good vibes and decent food, this is a great spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was definitely an average experience at On The Border. The food was mediocre, maybe I had high expectations, but it felt like a typical chain meal rather than something exciting. The chips and salsa were good, but I was disappointed with the chicken tacos. They lacked some seasoning, and I felt the service was a bit lacking as well. I probably won't be rushing back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last week I went to On The Border and couldn’t have been happier with my choices. The tacos al carbon were absolutely delicious and filled with authentic taste. The margaritas were refreshing and not too overpowering either. Our server was friendly and made great recommendations. If you’re in the mood for a tasty meal and vibrant atmosphere, definitely check this place out! " (*Curated Review*)

" With my last visit to On The Border, I was left feeling underwhelmed. The service was slow, and the food lacked the flavor I expected, especially in a restaurant that specializes in Tex-Mex cuisine. The atmosphere was lively, but that didn't make up for the disappointment I felt with my meal. I might return but with lower expectations next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Well, On The Border exceeded my expectations! The ambiance is warm and inviting, and my dish was flavorful and well-presented. I ordered the grilled chicken fajitas, which arrived sizzling hot and tasted amazing. Service was prompt and pleasant. Overall, a fantastic choice for a returning visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't recommend On The Border enough! The endless enchiladas are a fantastic deal, and the service is usually stellar. It’s a family-friendly environment, and my kids always finish their meals. I love how the staff is always cheerful and helpful. Great for both casual dinners and celebrations alike. " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to take my family to On The Border after hearing good things. Overall, the quality of food was acceptable, though we've had better Tex-Mex elsewhere. Service was quite average; we felt a bit neglected at times. The restaurant wasn't very busy, which confused us about the wait. I might give it another chance, but I wouldn't recommend it enthusiastically. " (*Curated Review*)
