    The "Guac Live" is live for real, concocted right in front of your table. That kind of sincere advertising is worthy of commendation. It's a standard Mexican cuisine served with emphasis on hospitality. Of the few locations On The Border corporate decided to keep operational, this one was more than deserving of continued business.

    Chips was my favorite part but now under the new owners they are just okay. Seems like it changed a bit but I still like it. Everything was pretty good but not as good as it used to be.
