    Ordered fajitas. Guacamole with melted cheese. The guac was already brown. Margaritas were too sweet. Bartender did not help us. The We ordered charro beans but they were ranch style. Rice had no flavor. This place has gone down. Very disappointed ☹️

    Since On the Border change ownership it's very noticeable the difference in some things. Their queso is a lot better I think and their chips are thinner and the salsa... I prefer the way it was made before even though it's still good. Their happy hour is really a good deal at half off.

    I catered for my staff of 40 today and I can’t say enough good things. The staff was so friendly and energetic, the food was ready on time and hot. We will definitely be catering from here again, great experience! Thank you.

    So I just ordered dinner through door dash to the house. Now keep in mind this has been a favorite restaurant for years, but I was extremely disappointed in what we received especially for the price we paid. Our 2 border sampler platters were a lot smaller than before and looked like they were all mushed together, the sopapillas were hard and a ton of sugar thrown on them , the condiments were not separated nicely , I mean I know the restaurant and delivery is different but come on this is ridiculous especially since I paid almost $100 for just three meals. Idk if the inside is the same but I'm not recommending it to be delivered.

    Hadn’t been to an On The Border in years. Decided to stop in and try it. OMG! Their new revamped menu was so good! Fresh guac, creamy queso, in house refried beans to start off. Split the single order of chicken fajitas with $6 house margaritas. All excellent, fresh well seasoned and moist chicken, flour tortillas that melted in your mouth served with garlic butter that accented the flavor of the fajitas. A single serving of the fajitas was plenty for the two of us. So glad to see On The Border is back on track and look forward to many more delicious meals.
