" While I found On The Border to be a good place for drinks and light snacking, the main courses were less impressive. The tacos I ordered were good but felt standard. There was nothing unique about them. The service was adequate, neither exceptional nor poor. For a night of socializing with friends, it hits the mark, but not for authentic Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" On The Border has become one of my go-to spots! Their menu accommodates a variety of tastes, which is perfect for dining out with friends who have different preferences. The fajitas are my personal favorite as they come sizzling hot and packed with flavor. The chips and salsa are a must-have starter. The atmosphere is vibrant, perfect for kicks! A highlight for my friends and I! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful family dinner at On The Border! The service was wonderful, and our server went out of her way to accommodate our dietary restrictions. The food was tasty, but I think there's room for improvement in their flavor profiles as some of the dishes tasted bland. The atmosphere was lively, and they had a great margarita selection. Overall, a good experience but not yet a favourite. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a surprising lunch at On The Border! I anticipated another bland experience at a chain restaurant, but the happy hour specials tempted me. The chicken tacos I chose were decent, although they could have used more seasoning to really kick it up a notch. The service was friendly and prompt, and I was happy with the portion sizes relative to the price. Not true Mexican food but still a good option for a casual meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" On The Border was a disappointing experience for us. From the outset, our server seemed overwhelmed, and our orders got mixed up. When we finally received our food, it was lukewarm, and the flavors were bland. I had the shrimp tacos and they were forgettable at best. It's unfortunate because we were looking for a nice evening out. We probably won't be returning anytime soon. " (*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*)
