Was quite impressed with the quality and taste of the food. Good veggie options. Nice ambience and friendly staff. Great Margaritas and don't forget to get them with a "meltdown" !
Amazing place for dinning with family, friends or with spouse. Service was great. Food was really yummy. They have good varieties of Margarita. Try pineapple margarita which is good. With drink and food, be ready to spend 30 to 35$ per person.
When I was a young man living in another state... I knew nothing about Cinco De Mayo... Oh sure someone may have mentioned it on May 5th back in those days... but I really knew nothing... ABOUT THE FOOD... AND THE DRINKS... And when I moved to this area of the World... I made a friend who told me about the Celebration... and we went out to eat... It was a Meal I will never forget... Today is Cinco De Mayo 2022... Saturday will be Kentucky Derby Day and Sunday will be Mother's Day... If you missed the Celebration today... Start a Long Holiday Weekend on Friday... right after work... And you too... will have a Holiday Weekend... you will never forget...

Reviews
On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina offers a mix of positive and mixed reviews. Customers praise the quality and taste of the food, especially highlighting good veggie options and flavorful dishes like chicken flautas. The ambience is noted to be nice with friendly staff, quick service, and impressive margaritas. However, some reviewers mention missing items in their orders like guacamole or sour cream, while others find certain dishes hit-or-miss such as bland empanadas or soggy fajita nachos. Despite these mixed experiences, the restaurant's colorful TexMex atmosphere seems inviting for families and groups looking for Mexican cuisine.

This is my official review of on the border. I got the special which is a sample of different things. I usually do not get beef tacos. I prefer steak tacos. This meal only gives beef tacos. It had a good flavor. Enchilada was chicken it has a good taste. Rice had flavor but corn was mixed in. Did not like the quesadilla wasn’t cheesy enough lack flavor. Flanta was good. Empanadas. Was a little dry. Chips and salsa was good.
Service was not a good experience. Seems like the waiter just ignored my request. Asked for no ice in my drinks/water due to toothache he ignored it. Asked for napkins, took so long. Food over all was 10/10! Loved the decor! It was my first time dinning here!
