" I went to On The Border expecting a casual family meal and was greeted with decent food and attentive service. The salsa was tasty, but a bit too spicy for my taste. The entrée I chose was a combination platter, which was a bit of a letdown in terms of portion size compared to what I've experienced elsewhere. Overall, it was a good experience but I wouldn't call it authentic Mexican cuisine. More Tex-Mex rather than traditional. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at On The Border was a mixed bag for me. The service was attentive, and the restaurant had a welcoming vibe, which I appreciated. However, my burrito was overly greasy and not as flavorful as I hoped. The salsa served was good, but seemed out of place compared to what I’m used to. Portions were massive; I took half of my burrito home! I think I need to visit again for a second opinion, maybe try a different dish. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last week my friends and I chose On The Border for our dinner outing, and I have to say it didn’t meet our expectations. Right off the bat, we were thrown off by the long wait time for our appetizer, which was unfortunate because we were so looking forward to the queso. When it finally arrived, it was lukewarm and lacked seasoning. I ordered the shrimp enchiladas and they were bland. The service staff was friendly, but it seemed like they were overwhelmed. Returning might be an option, but I’d like to see improvements first. " (*Curated Review*)

" This weekend, we took the kids to On The Border for a dinner treat, and they enjoyed every minute! The staff was friendly, and the service fast. I tried their new taco bowls, and they were delicious with fresh ingredients. The only downside was a lack of spices and flavor. Overall, it’s a good family-friendly environment, although I think they could step up their seasoning game. Definitely worth a visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love celebrating small victories at On The Border! The team here knows how to make your guests feel special. I ordered a classic fajita platter, and it was satisfying! The freshness of the vegetables was impressive. Although the margaritas could have been stronger, the friendly service and lively atmosphere made up for it. Perfect for a casual celebratory meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night was my first time at On The Border, and I enjoyed it thoroughly! The nachos were crispy, and the guacamole was fresh and creamy. I tried the chicken burrito, which was decent yet not overly impressive. Service felt a bit slow at times, but they were doing their best. Overall, I would say it’s a fine place for Tex-Mex cravings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great place to catch up with friends! I loved the vibe and décor of On The Border. The drinks were refreshing, with the watermelon margarita being my favorite. The only downside was my food took longer to arrive than expected. My taco salad was fresh but lacked protein. Overall, I had a nice evening, and as a common visitor here, I’d recommend it for a casual night out. " (*Curated Review*)
