    I had the Fajita salad with beef and the steak came out ice cold. Also, overheard the waiter telling another table the restaurant is closing in a week. The staff has obviously given up and I would avoid going here!

    This has been my favorite restaurant for 10+ years. We recently went there and sadly they changed the menu, with disappointing options. The Big Bordurrito which was my favorite. It’s not in the menu anymore.. the server said we could order it it just not in the menu anymore. We did order it but it didn’t tasted the same. I’m so disappointed. I don’t know if I’ll continue eating here.

    Yesterday we ordered from this location for a dinner for 20 people. When we picked up the order and got it home we found that there was only one small tub of beef and chicken. Two small tubs of rice and two of beans. None of these came close to the amount needed for 20 people. We had to make a quick grocery store run to pick up more tortillas, cheese, and ground beef in order to supplement the meal. In addition, we were supposed to get hard and soft shell tortillas and we only received softshell. We ran out of rice before even half of the people had eaten. We have ordered from on the border for meals like this multiple times a year for past years and this is the first time we have had this big an issue. We will not be ordering from here for our next event as it was Way too expensive for the amount of food and we still had to go out and buy and make our own food in order to have enough.

    Do not go, especially if you have been before. As a long time loyal patron, 2-5 times per year, their menu revamp is atrocious! My son and I didn't even need the menu, he'd get southwest chicken tacos, I'd get brisket tacos. Both included fried onion straws. On yesterday's visit, found out the brisket tacos are no longer on the menu and they changed the Southwest tacos. They replaced the onion straws with grilled onions and added tomatoes, both of which my son didn't like. I didn't even order anything since they didn't have the brisket tacos and I didn't see a visible substitute. Sadly, we will not be back.

    They changed their menu. It got smaller and the food has changed, and not for the better. I got steak fajitas. Red and green peppers are gone. They had 2 pieces of sliced up jalapeño pepper cooking on the hot plate and was told not to take a deep breathe or it might make you cough. Please get rid of that. They had a side cup of garlic butter to pour on the steak. Please get rid of that. Please don't fix what is not broken. We will not be returning.
