    I placed an online order not knowing on the borders whole menu had changed to Papasitos. I saw nothing online stating the change. We bought the southwest chicken tacos and they had totally changed the recipe, which was very deceiving because online it gives you the option to remove fried onion rings still so so I assumed it was the same taco. There were huge chunks of grilled onion in it and two big pieces of chicken and a ton of pico. The taco totally changed but they kept the name of it, I thought I had ordered the wrong thing. Also I ordered a pint of salsa not knowing it had changed to papasitos salsa. I loved OTB’s salsa and queso so I’m very sad about this change. I gave 4 stars bc I’m willing to give Papasitos a chance. I wish they would keep both OTB and Papasitos salsa. The OTB one was spicier which I liked.

    Had such a great experience at On The Border thanks to our server, Brayden! He was seriously awesome, super friendly, funny, and just on top of everything the whole time. Our drinks never went empty, he made sure to check in on us pretty often and make sure there was nothing else we needed, and his food recommendations were spot on. It’s rare to get service at a restaurant that actually leaves a lasting impression on you but Brayden definitely deserves a good review. If you go, definitely ask for him

    I had an awesome experience at On The Border! Our server, Caroline, was absolutely fantastic—super friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out just right. She had a great attitude the entire time and really made our visit enjoyable. Arnie, the manager, also stopped by to check on us and made sure everything was perfect. You can tell he really cares about his guests and runs a great team. The food was fresh, the service was fast, and the atmosphere was welcoming. Huge thanks to Caroline and Arnie for making it such a great dining experience! Definitely coming back soon. 🌮👏

    I had an absolutely wonderful experience dining here! From start to finish, everything was top-notch. Our server, Brayden, went above and beyond — friendly, attentive, and professional the entire time. He made great recommendations and made sure we always had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. The managers, Arnie and Chase, were also fantastic. They both checked in to make sure everything was perfect and genuinely cared that we were having a great experience. You can tell they take real pride in what they do and in the atmosphere they’ve built here. The food was excellent, the service was outstanding, and the overall vibe was welcoming and well-run. It’s rare to see a team work so smoothly together, but Brayden, Arnie, and Chase made it look effortless. I’ll definitely be back — and I’ll be recommending this place to everyone I know!
