Save yourself some disappointment and just go somewhere else. I should have known when their salsa comes up brown and warm. Its warm on purpose due to the company being purchased. The server confirmed that and the meat is different. The taco salad was mostly lettuce and they were cheap with the taco meat. My queso beef enchiladas were mediocre. THe tortilla was rubbery. The rice was meh, and the refried beans were ok.. tasted like there was some meat missed in (hope that was what it was). The server never checked back in after serving us. The manager came over and I told him all these things. Hope he feeds back on this. I would not expect this place to stay open at this rate.

I’m not sure what happened to On The Border, but it’s clearly not the same place it used to be.
First off, who approved the new queso recipe? It literally tastes like Velveeta cheese sauce poured straight from the microwave. Zero flavor, zero effort. Just sad.
Then there’s the plate I ordered (see photo). I wish I could say it tasted better than it looked… but it didn’t. It was as bland and lifeless as the presentation. You’d think for the price, someone back there would care even a little.
This place used to be a solid go-to, but it’s gone way downhill. (I will give credit where credit is due, the Bordurrito is still goated)

My family and I were a little disappointed in the changes we saw after a long time between visits. We were informed that OTB was bought out and slight changes were made by the waitress. We truly enjoyed the change to the salsa but miss the big half tortilla chips. However, I don’t think they would have paired well with the new salsa. I loved the flavor and the fact it’s served warmed . That change I could handle. What my family and I didn’t like was the removal of the table side guacamole, the pick 4 and why would we only get one cheese, guacamole, sour cream and Pico set up with a fajitas for two and only 3 tortillas? The change to the fajitas really threw us for a loop. The waitress was great at explaining the changes to us and letting us know that the additional fajitas set up would be additional charge before putting it in to the kitchen. The manager also came by to ensure we were being taken care of. The service was no issue at all, it was the slight changes to items that we enjoyed prior that were now gone.

We went to this on the border location last night and was served by Cory. We got there around 7 and got queso first. Then we ordered our main meals and we were disappointed to see every table who sat down after us got their food well before us. Cory apologized and went to check on our food multiple times. We never complained, but after about 45 minutes since we sat down the manager came and told us they would cover our meals due to the long wait. We appreciated the meals being taken care of and Cory gave us some chips and salsa to go. Although it was a longer than usual meal, it was still delicious and management made it worth the time.

I recently had a pleasant dining experience at On the Border in Rockwall and would give it four stars overall. The service was great; our server was attentive and friendly. She made sure our drinks were always topped up and checked in frequently to see if we needed anything else. Her communication skills were excellent, which really added to the positive atmosphere of our meal.
The restaurant itself was clean and well-maintained, contributing to a comfortable dining environment. The restroom was also clean which is something I always check on. We were seated promptly, and the ambiance was lively without being overwhelming. It was clear that the staff took pride in keeping the place tidy, which is always a plus when dining out.
As for the food, it was good overall, though I must admit I’ve had better chips and salsa at other Mexican restaurants. The salsa lacked a bit of kick for my taste, but it was fresh. The main dishes were flavorful and served promptly, which is always appreciated. Despite the minor critique on the chips and salsa, the quality of service and the overall dining experience more than made up for it.

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.

This is OTB in name only since Pappas bought the chain. To start the salsa was tomato water and cilantro. The food doesn’t have the On The Border pizzazz anymore. It’s good Tex-Mex, but it doesn’t compare to what it used to be. I’m very disappointed, and El Chico down the hwy will get my business in the future.

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.

Fantastic atmosphere. I’ve dinned at the bar several times now and Kayla and Vanh have been wonderful. One of the main reasons I go are for the Birria Quesa Tacos, and OTB actually has Negra Modelo, it’s not on tap, but a bottle is better than nothing.
This time I had the fajitas, and they were sooo good. A must if you’ve never been OTB.

I had an amazing time here. The service was an absolutely wonderful. I was greeted kindly and treated well. Everything on my plate tasted amazing and felt worth what I was paying. I will definitely be coming back and bringing others with me.
