For the money, it’s actually pretty good food. Servers are kind and meals arrive pretty quick. The atmosphere is the best part of the experience as the space is open with high ceilings and lots of natural light. I’d definitely come back. We had breakfasts burritos with potatoes – hot and fresh. As a nice plus, the table already has sauces ready to use.

I saw a ton of bad reviews so I was hesitant to eat here but I wanted to sit down for a while my flight was delayed three times.

I’m glad I did. Dimitry was my server and he was excellent very kind and very fast. We were seated within 45 minutes we had 20 people in front of us when we signed up on the waitlist. So it goes faster than you expect.

The food was what you expect for a chain and for an inside the restaurant situation. The black beans and the rice were kind of plain but they came out hot and with little salt and pepper they came to life.

Chips within and fresh though they lack salt. My salsa had visible red pepper flakes with a little bit of heat in the queso had jalapenos onions and peppers in it and was decent.

It’s not authentic by no means but it got the job done. My husband got the ground beef tacos which had more flavor than anything else at the table although not as good as at home but definitely better than expected.

I got the mesquite chicken grilled tacos with small pieces of clearly grilled chicken lots of cheese and a soft warm tortilla and they provide plenty as far as portions go. It’s expensive $20 for per plate basically but you’re in a restaurant inside an airport where they’ve got you cornered so this is expected but at least they gave you plenty of food for the money.

I’m not sorry I ate here even though I read terrible reviews. Out in the real world it wouldn’t be my first choice but it was suitable for the situation.

There was plenty of seating and it was nice and bright with TVs playing in a bar area. It was kind of a chaotic vibe as people moved in and moved out very quickly but that’s to be expected. Servers kept everything cleared so the areas were quite clean. I would eat here again if I had to.

We hadn’t planned to stop here, but after arriving early to the airport, we decided to give it a try—and I’m glad we did. We were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere, the menu selection, and the prices.

Our server, Rebecca, was informative, friendly, and genuinely delightful. She gave us great insights into their tequilas and even shared a helpful insider tip: always add a “meltdown” to your margarita. It’s only $4 as an add-on, compared to $11 if you order the shot on its own. Great advice!

I ordered the OTB House Margarita with a shot of reposado, and it was absolutely perfect. We had planned to get an appetizer, but the complimentary chips and salsa were more than enough.

Overall, this was a great unexpected stop. I’d definitely come back here again if I find myself stuck at the Orlando airport. Highly recommend!

Lots of negative reviews that likely are from folks coming around a rush for lunch or dinner. I came in around 1:30 and had a minimal wait to get seated as a lone traveler. Prices are expectedly high since this is in an airport, and I did get complimentary chips and salsa that were pretty good.
I got two tacos for about $20 which comes with rice and beans. Flavor of the sides is fine, not anything special but solidly decent especially paired with the extra salsa. Brisket taco was good, a little salty for what I normally like but that was probably the fried onions. The jalapeno bbq (or whatever is normally on it) was surprisingly sweet, but I didn’t mind. The Southwest chicken taco was nice in flavor, though kind of dry. I probably would have paid the upcharge for sour cream if I had known, but c’est la vie!
Service was alright. There weren’t a lot of servers, so they were decently busy even when the restaurant was quieter. My server was friendly and quick. Not as attentive as if I were eating at like an Olive Garden, but to be honest I don’t need the constant attention lol.
The entire place seems to be filled with QR codes that only somewhat work. Staff seems to have mixed opinions on this, especially since a table near me ordered via QR and accidentally added it onto the previous order from that table and the server had to fix it. If management reads this, I’d recommend looking into that!
All in all, this isn’t a terrible spot for lunch or dinner. Maybe if you’re in a rush to catch a flight, not the right choice; I had a long layover so plenty of time to sit and relax!

Food was ok service was slow. On the plus side portion sizes were incredible! A rare find if youre trying to make it through the whole day on one airport meal.

Stopped by On The Border Mexican Grill inside MCO and had a solid experience overall. For an airport restaurant, the food and drinks definitely exceeded expectations.
The steak quesadillas were delicious—hot, flavorful, and well-prepared. The classic margarita on the rocks was strong (in a good way); I felt it after about three sips, which is always appreciated when you’re airport dining.
Service was good overall. The server wasn’t overly attentive, but she checked in just enough to make sure everything was taken care of, and the order came out correctly and in a reasonable time.
Atmosphere-wise, it’s exactly what you’d want in an airport: comfortable, relaxed, and a good place to sit down, eat, and reset before a flight. If you’re passing through MCO and want something reliable with a decent drink, this is a good stop.
Would definitely return if I’m flying through again

Lindsey the lady wearing a mask behind the bar needs to be fired, I sat down at the bar and was waiting for a good 10 minutes, I asked her if I could look at a menu and she got a huge attitude and screamed, We will wait on u when we can. It was very frustrating all I did was ask for a menu. Then I moved my chair slightly Ober to give the girl next to me more room and she goes ” You can’t sit here it’s employees spot only” she like yelled it.

Thank God I was helped by another guy who was very nice had a very nice like beard he saved the experience I hope he enjoys that 20$ tip and Lindsey gets 0 of it. Worse experience ever with a bartender.

Food was decent, can’t expect much in the airport but the margarita was $19 and complete garbage. Super cheap mix and didn’t taste like tequila. They claim it’s a house mix but it’s not. I’d skip the drink honestly. Server was fine, didn’t tell us we needed to pay on the QR code until after 10 minutes of us trying to get the check.

$25 for 2 draft beers is ridiculous. Price gouging at its finest. Once your in the terminal they know they have you and raise the prices so high that it should be illegal. Its crazy how the owners of these businesses allow this type of gouging. Horrible business practices and I will definitely avoid any of these businesses outside of the terminal.
