" My experience at On The Border left me with mixed feelings. The cheese enchiladas were average, while the enjoyment truly came from their zesty margaritas. Kudos to the bartender! But the server seemed forgetful and not particularly enthusiastic. Would consider another visit but with lowered expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" During our last visit to On The Border, the food was thrilling! The flavors were vibrant and distinct, especially in the brisket tacos. Great service from our waitress who made suggestions that enhanced our meal. I love how they bring the chips and salsa to the table immediately; it's the best start to the meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was thrilled to visit On The Border, especially after hearing so many great things. Unfortunately, this visit was not as good. The fajitas were overcooked and bland. While the service was decent, it didn’t make up for the food quality. I hope to see improvements next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" On The Border was a delightful surprise for me! The combination plates are perfect for sharing, and the flavors are spot on! The service was attentive, and I enjoyed the festive atmosphere. I’d suggest it to anyone looking for a lively place to enjoy fantastic Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)
