" On The Border is a place I always enjoy visiting with family. The diverse menu options cater to everyone's tastes, and the service is typically friendly. However, on my last visit, I noticed my dish could have used a bit more flavor. I'll be back for sure, but I hope to see improvements in the seasoning next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply put, On The Border just didn’t do it for me. The nachos were soggy, and the cheese tasted processed. I’ve had better tacos from a street vendor, to be honest. Moreover, the waitstaff seemed overwhelmed and inattentive. We had to wave down our server multiple times. I hate to leave a bad review, especially for a place that’s popular, but this was not a pleasant experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, I'm a fan of their margaritas here! They are perfectly blended and pack just the right punch. The food was decent; I enjoyed the nachos but felt they could offer more variety. Overall, it's a fun place to visit with friends, just don't go expecting authentic Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited On The Border recently and was amused by how busy it was! The atmosphere was filled with laughter and chatter, which made the experience enjoyable. I ordered the chicken burrito which was very filling, and the staff was attentive. Overall, a solid option for Tex-Mex food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried their tacos the other day, and I found them a bit bland for my taste. It wasn't as vibrant as I expected from a restaurant specializing in Mexican food. The servers were nice, but I believe they could enhance their product offerings for a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" On The Border is my go-to for a quick Mexican fix. I love the environment and how lively it gets in the evenings. Their variety in margaritas is great, although food quality can vary. Last visit, my chimichanga was a bit bland compared to prior experiences. Still a fun spot to catch up with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience overall! I loved the chicken enchiladas; they were stuffed full and tasted fresh. The chips served at the start were warm and delightful, easily the best I've had at a restaurant. Our server was attentive and made sure everything was right. I'd recommend this place in a heartbeat to anyone craving Tex-Mex food. " (*Curated Review*)
