  Awful food they say bought out by poppas, not what we were expecting . The salsa was nasty. The chicken didn’t taste anything like on the border. The two beef tacos were dripping grease and nasty won’t be eating there ever again.

  New owners are ruining a great business Considering the amount of complaints I’ve seen and heard about just the salsa and queso yall would think yall would listen to your guests but apparently yall don’t care about your customers

  Rockwall on the border is back And better than ever!!! Apparently, this location was purchased by Pappasito’s and their menu and service has made a drastic change for the better. We have Gone several times since the change and every time the food was great and our dinner guest really enjoyed it. On December 3, 2026, my wife and I sat in the bar area as a restaurant was completely full. It is a rare site to see this restaurant full back when they were owned by Brinker. Sometimes when you sit in the bar, you may get less than ideal service but this time we had great service. The bartender came and attended to us at a booth in the bar area and we were promptly greeted given great service and he even was able to have the kitchen recreate a menu item that had just been removed from the menu. I often order two drinks when I go out to eat one iced tea and one water just in case the service is lacking I have an additional beverage. I never had to touch my water and the bartender kept our drinks full the entire night. We never had to ask for a refill or ask for anything. He was on top of the service and did really well. We are so glad to see that the quality of food has significantly increased and their fajitas are some of the best in Rockwall County in my opinion. I highly recommend you go check out the new version of on the border. From the outside it looks like the same old on the border, but the food and service is completely different.

  Terrible . Pappas needs to evaluate the mediocre food of this place . The 4 of us agreed … wasn’t very good . Don’t waste your money here . Trust me .. I do honest reviews .. the food is a 4 out of 10… crappy vibe too. Another failure for Rockwall .

  Just ate for the first time here in two years. The Wait staff was noticbly much more attentive and restaurant appeared much cleaner than I remembered. The Chips and Dip was just right not fire engine Red Hot . The So/ West Queso Chicken Dinner was Outstanding and left just the right amount of burn in your pallet ‼️Overall it was an enjoyable dining experience from the food to the staff. The Young Lady who came to our table was cordial and informative regarding our inquires . I believe she was a manager . The Waiter was attentive and never let us ask for anything twice . Five Stars in my opinion overall.
