Reviews
It’s been one of our go-to spots for lunch & catching up for years now – I absolutely LOVE the value of the lunch combos you can order in the afternoon here and also getting one of the big margaritas from time to time.
I’ve never had any issues with regards to anything on any of my multiple visits – from friendly and quick service, to tasty and hot Tex-Mex food, and a dining space that is always clean and very spacious.
One of my favorite orders here is the lunch combo with an enchilada and fish taco – it also comes with rice and beans.
Everything always HITS and I love the sauce on the enchilada and the big, juicy chunk of fish in the fish taco! YUM!
This is a great location for On The Border that I always enjoy my visits to – I definitely recommend!
The service was incredible, this isn’t about that. This is about the food under the new Pappa’s acquisition being REVOLTING. Every one of my 3 family members gagged more than once while eating or thinking about their food here, and so did I.
The first disappointment was the Guacamole Live. THEY TOOK IT OFF THE MENU! It was not only the best part of going to OTB, but the best guacamole in the restaraunt game. We still bought the new guac, which was NINE DOLLARS for HALF the portion. Worse, it had absolutely no fixins, not even onions, and was too salty with the new oversalted chips. The new salsa is completely unremarkable and not worth leaving the house for. It’s not inedible, but it’s not what I want salsa to be. Whatever, I thought, it’s just the appetizer; surely the food will make up for it.
The chicken was instantly a concern. They used to have the best chicken fajitas I’d had at any restaraunt, incredible seasoning and texture. Now, it looks completely white and unseasoned like boiled chicken. How could sizzling grilled fajitas end up looking like they’d never touched a grill?
The taste was even blander than I’d expected. The texture was even worse. It came apart like gelatin, and had rubbery fatty bits and a generally gelatinous consistency that felt nothing like meat. It was unbearable, and there was no flavor to make up for it. You can see the bland color and the odd way the chicken moves and pulls apart in the video and picture attached. I promise it’s not tender – it does not have the consistency that tender meat should have at all, nor the taste.
I did not try the steak, but my mom gagged when she bit into the steak nachos.
3/4 of us are a clean plate family, and I usually eat everything I have, appetizers, and get leftovers off of other people’s plates. I have NEVER, in sickness or in health, eaten only half of my meal, nor have I ever seen my mother or partner turn down an ENTIRE plate of food.
All of us ended up sad that our family’s favorite restaraunt, that we’d been going to together for what is nearly a DECADE now, has been ruined. And we didn’t even get a decent meal from it.
Again, service and management was phenomenal and everybody was very kind to us and listened to our feedback, this is not a criticism of them at all – but even so, I cannot reccomend anybody ever eat here again, especially not if they have been a customer in the past.
The food took 45 minutes
My daughter’s nachos came out burnt with no queso, and had to be sent back
Our server was clueless on how to properly provide service and wait on a table. Granted she may have been new, but has a lot to learn.
The highlight of the night was the other friendly waiter going out of his way to take care of us when our waitress disappeared for 30 minutes
Overall most likely won’t be back, as On The Border is not the same as it used to be
That said, the prices felt high for food that was just average in taste. Overall, it’s not a bad option, but it’s not one I’d go out of my way to recommend.
