Thank you Pappasitos! You turned On The Border from borderline Taco Bell to an upscale dining experience. The ingredients were fresh and reminiscent of Pappasitos, in fact we LOVED the queso better here than the big restaurant! We started with a sampler that came with flautas, beef fajita nachos, and chicken quesadillas. It also came with guacamole and sour cream. We don’t know what you put on that chicken quesadilla but it was OUT OF THIS WORLD! Then we also ordered chicken and beef fajitas. I absolutely loved the chicken fajitas and my mom liked the beef, especially because it came with that signature butter like with Pappasitos. I’d like to add that the chips and salsa were identical, hot and ready chips and fresh warm salsa.
Food aside, we have to give compliments to our server and the manager. Everything came out perfect, and when we kept mulling over options and being indecisive, our server was more than happy to wait or offer advice and was readily available whenever we needed her. A complete turn around from the abysmal experiences we’ve had of late at OTB.
All we would like to see now is those signature charro beans and the fajita ribs! We thought what we had dined on was fair in price and is an awesome solution for families to have a great Pappasitos experience without breaking the bank or having to travel down to Richardson.

Our first time at OTB and did not disappoint. The staff was attentive, friendly, and helpful. The chips were a bit salty from over shaken? But could be a one time off. The salsa wasn’t spicy enough but I was given extra jalapeno to compensate. The fajitas was excellent . Will be back to try other dishes!

The service here is outstanding—not just from the manager, but from every server we encountered. Everyone was warm, welcoming, and made every table feel truly valued. A special thank you to Lisa for her wonderful service—she was absolutely amazing and so nice! The fajitas were incredible—my husband and I both agree they are the best we’ve had in the area. The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting, and the location is conveniently close to home. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Onthe Border has good food at a good price with helpful staff. The Chicken or Beef Quesidillas are really good. There are several kinds of Enchiladas, but our favorite ate Cheese Enchiladas with chili con carne.
Happy hour offers reduced price drinks, including $5 Grande Margheritas that are really good!

Queso $10
Disappointing meal at one of our favorite restaurants… Originally ordered Brisket Taco but they were out of brisket…
Sides were small portions and on the carne asada order the rice and vegetables were burnt onto the hot plate and too salty. Too much raw onion in queso.
Biggest pet peeve: waitress using terms of endearment. Each sentence started and ended with “love” “honey” “sweetie” –was too much even for Texas. Water glass was left empty.
Plus side: Restaurant was clean and we were greeted and seated immediately.

Our waitress was very kind and attentive. The queso was great, but the chicken fajitas were plain and the beef fajitas were chewy. The fajita plate came out sizzling with jalapeño slices, which tasted good but the steam was like tear gas. The cilantro rice was also plain. Even with the new management, the food quality needs improvement before I’d consider coming back.

I honestly feel this is a first for me. I actually left the establishment hungry. The food and service was that bad. I honestly perceive it as simply bad management. It was the 4th of July, and when walking in, I saw no staff what so ever. I waited maybe 7 minutes and a nice young lady came out and was pleasant. Unfortunately that was the highlight of the experience. Lets start off with the Chips. The only seasoning the chips was thst of a thin coat of grease. Extremely bland. The salsa tasted as if it came out of a can. Not fresh at all. I ordered the Dos XX Tacos and it was supposed to be Tempura however the fish was soggy. After being disappointed, I thought, let me try the Tres Leches Cake. Tres Leches translates to 3 milk cake. This cake wasn’t moist at all. I took one bite and pushed it to the side.
As a final insult, I explained to my server I wasn’t happy with the cake. She apologized and said she would remove it from my bill. As you scroll through the pictures, you will see she never took it off.
Unfortunately this was one of my worst dining experiences:(
