Good experience on a quiet Saturday lunchtime.

I’m sure many of you already are awake of the type of atmosphere there is at ‘On the Border’. Made me think, maybe one of the reasons the restaurant has fallen is because of the atmosphere? It’s old & somewhat depressing? On top of that, dirty, dusty & right next to where I eat…

Unsure if staffing or management is an issue. But over last couple years to a total debacle this last visit it has been a quality decline.

Great chips and salsa. Excellent stuffed jalapenos and nachos. Decent service ,place was a little dirty overall. Front door closer to the door to exterior is brokenthat loudly slams the door each time it closes. Really needs to be fixed. Has been broken for months

This is the worst restaurant I have been in the area. Alison served the food and she was the worst and rude. She is not paying attention at all. We did not order for drink and she got that . Yelled at us when told to take it back Literally brought the food and throwed on our table. She did not ask if we need anything else, just brought the check kept on the table. I am not going here again. Food is not good at all.

Came on a Monday night. Food took a while but it was well prepared. The server was very polite. The carne asada was marinated and cooked well. The chicken burrito bowl was good. Overall, it was a good experience. Also as a bonus, they included more chips and salsa with a take out order.

This place is absolutely disgusting. I literally don’t know how the health department hasn’t shut it down. First they delivered us they’re table chips and salsa. The salsa was so hot you couldn’t even eat it. And I LOVE spicy foods. Then we order queso and guacomole. They gave us tostitos queso from a jar and the guac was just smashed avocado on a tea plate. No onions tomatoes cilantro nothing. Absolutely no flavor at all. So we complained to the waitress who told us we needed to order the table fresh guacomole for that, so we did. It came and it was completely rancid. I’m talking inedible if we had kept eating it it would have made us sick. Something in it had definitely gone bad. We then ordered tacos and burritos. The tacos were left under the heat lamp for so long that the soft tortillas were hard, the meat was so dry you couldn’t swallow it and the beans were completely dried out and you could taste the metal from the can. It looked like dog food. The rice was so undercooked you couldn’t eat it and the guacomole was brown. Now I know avocado browns easily, this wasn’t that. My tacos had crispy fried onions on it and they tasted like the onions you put on a green bean casserole from a can. Definitely not fresh. My husband who eats everything turned to me and said there’s something wrong with this sauce on this burrito. We kept our plates full and left. I was completely disgusted. The waitresses were extremely nice but you could tell they knew the food was gross. This place needs to be shut down. Someone is bound to get sick.

Not so great. I felt bad for the server who clearly had more tables than they should have been given. Very slow service and food quality was not good for the prices they charged There are better places to go.

My food wasn’t good at all my last two visits. My beans No flavor straight from the can and whomever is the cook it’s a hit or miss. My meals that I once enjoyed never tastes the same. I hope it gets better and people care about what comes out the kitchen. Truly disappointing!
