    Food and salsa are delish since the change. Need to look into food temp. Last 2 visits rice and beans were warm and enchiladas and taco were cold.

    Since Pappas has purchased On The Border the ground beef is so spicy it burns my mouth. The Pork Carnitas are flavorless. The Corn Tortillas have no taste, hard and mostly flour. The salsa is so spicy I cannot eat it. I have tried to eat there 4 times since the take over by Pappas and each time has been a terrible food experience. No way that I'm going back nor taking my family, especially kids there.

    Not all chains are the same. This one is SUPER well run with a very friendly staff and you can tell the manager cares about training and taking care of people. Hannah was our server and was friendly as could be plus we never once had to ask for a refill on beverages or chips. While the food was pretty standard On The Border it was presented well and served hot. We were a party of five seated right away and I was completely impressed with the entire experience.

    This OTB was the first and probably the last time I will order something to go. I ordered the primo queso, which comes with taco beef, sour cream, and quac. Which the worker who took my to go order over the phone didn't know. I also asked for an extra salsa(both are small🙄). And they charged me for both of them and I asked for one extra bag of chips..which usually is suppose to come with it for free 🙄). I get there and I called to let them know I am here and to bring me my order. Or so I thought. I called and the worker put me on hold for 3 minutes. I hung up and went in. I waited at the to go cash register. There was 4 white female workers who saw standing there waiting to pay for and get my order. They just went on talking and ignored me. And a white male worker saw me and came over. He was good and cool. The price he rung up was not the same price on the website menu and what the lady who took my call said. Which says it's $9.99(which is too expensive but it is what it is 🤬😳). I get the price he said $18 dollars and something cents. I was like what? Huh? Are you serious? I couldn't believe it. And he gave me what is written on the receipt, 1st reso discount(whatever that means) which brought the amount to $12.23. I still wasn't happy about the price. I went on and paid for it because I haven't eaten at OTB for 3 years. Igot my food and left. I looked at my receipt and I was charged $11.98 for the Primo Bowl Queso. And I was also charged $4.98 for 2 chips and salsa which I only ask for 1 extra salsa and bag of chips to go. I have never been charged for salsa when I went to the OTB restaurant on the Southwest side of Fort Worth, TX. On Bryant Irvin and Overton Ridge. 8 didn't have a good experience. I will not go back ever
