Tables never well-cleaned.
Open-flame grill smoke poorly ventilated and oddly visible into the dining room on a popular Wednesday Half-Priced Fajitas for 2 evening — causing coughing among patrons and certain tables undesirable because of the heavy smoke.
On a more recent evening, disheveled hair of a short server and taller expeditor — both women — were concerning, with the server’s untamed locks so close to the full bowl of chips she carried on a serving tray.
Please, do better.
We had higher expectations of the experience, now, that it is a Pappasito’s brand.

Heard OTB was part of Pappa’s now so decided to give them a try…We went for happy hour and an early dinner. Our hostess was clueless when we inquired about HH but agreed when we referenced their website. The food was good. The salsa was good. The service was fine. Found out later we should have requested HH pricing in advance directly with our waiter, or sat on the bar side, if we wanted HH pricing on our house margaritas. 😳 Our server ultimately gathered a manager who adjusted our ticket but what what???m Just know before you go.

Our on the Border near our house shut down so we went here to this location. We were seated quickly, and excited to see the new salsa! I love the new salsa which is like a twist on the old and the new salsa which was more reminiscent of the On the Border we are used to! I however loved the new warm dark salsa they had since switching owners, but missed the old red cold salsa too!! Honestly wish they would do both! Service was great and so was the food!

It's been awhile since my husband and I went to OTB. We used to go there for a happy hour. Last night we went for dinner. We were so shocked at how high the prices went up. I ordered the ($30) beef fajitas. My husband ordered a crispy taco plate. As I went to eat my fajitas I couldn't break it down in my mouth. I mean this meat was so rubbery. It made me gag. My husband went to take a bite of his Taco and it was so wet underneath. It was no longer crispy and just fell apart when he ate it. He tried a piece of my fajita meat and he actually got one piece to go down and as he went to finish the rest of that same piece he almost regurgitated the first piece because it wouldn't go down. This is very very bad business. If you're going to raise your prices sky high then you need to get quality meat and quality service. Only reason why I gave it any stars at all was to 1 one be able to leave a comment and 2 The cold beer schooners is the only thing that will save this restaurant. This customer will not be returning for dinner of course. I think we'll just stick with happy hour or maybe just find another place to go.

Warning this is no longer on the border, they were bought by Pappasito’s. So the chips, salsa and food are completely different. We haven’t been in awhile so this was a shock. The food was so terrible, chicken enchiladas, cheese enchiladas,refried beans nothing like on the border. We didn’t even eat half of our food because it was just that bad. We left hungry still. I have had pappasitos and their food was decent but what we had last night was terrible. Our waitress never gave us refills as well so we paid for $4 for one glass of drinks.
