Had amazing service tonight from Jennifer. Then we had Amazing food and drinks that were so incredible there isn’t words and we needed this because we spent the whole day moving to a new home in the rain. We spent over $100 over indulging ourselves and even got dessert to-go. But we forgot to tell the waitress we had rewards. So we called back. And the manager was so nice, went out of her way to look up my receipt and add my rewards to my account. We have only been to On the Border twice. Both Barnes locations. And it is so wonderful both times we were blown away. Thank you for a great date night after a rough day.
Plate presentation on point. Service on point. Cleanliness on point. Speed of service, accuracy, flavor, bang for buck, all on point. You can’t beat On the Border. Chain or not ♀️

We had an AMAZING experience at this location. Our last visit was not up to standard by any means. It was terrible service and terrible food. We decided to give this location another chance and left with nothing but great things to say! Lani was our server and she is more than kind and energetic. She sets the tone for the whole restaurant with her confidence in her work. Please give this woman as much recognition as possible. She deserves to be known for her hard work and compassion for treating people with a kind heart.

ANOTHER REVIEW!! went tonight since all of our boys were home today! MAX T. our server, was just aahh-maazing!! He was SO friendly, helpful and didn’t mind getting all of our extras. Chips were always there, drinks refilled and he did it all with a smile! The food was hot and so delicious!! Even had enough to bring home for lunch!! The manager lady (name began with an S) blonde lady, was so nice too! She listened to our praises!! Can’t wait to go back!!
Earlier review> Just amazing!! Haven’t had OTB for a while. We did take out, since it was late. And STILL as wonderful as we remembered!! Burritos, queso, guac & chips!! Taste is great, love the queso!! Fresh chips!! Side of beans could have been a little more, they’re cheap. (Give us a full bowl next time please). Would love some coupons too, so we can go again!

I have been a loyal costumer to this restaurant throughout the 25 years. It has been my favorite go to fajita spot.
Under new management, they have changed everything….
No peppers with the fajitas. Tortillas are tasteless. Beans and rice have a particular aftertaste. I will never return through those doors.
Tonight; I mourn my favorite childhood restaurant, knowing this place will never be the same. RIP..

This place rocks! We came at a time when it wasn’t busy and still got stellar service by our waiter, and had happy vibes through out our experience. Been searching for a new mexican food restaurant and this one certainly hits the mark. Only complaint was that I would have liked more refried beans. This place isn’t all chintzy with chips n salsa, or to go containers, etc. The ranchilidas and fajita dinner were both muy excellente! Again the service we got from our gentlemen waiter was outstanding! Can’t wait to return again and try some other entrees. Must order the empanadas!

We had lunch here yesterday and a wonderful server named Stacy. She was very kind and had the best personality. Our food arrived in good time and was delicious! Stacy kept our tea and water glasses filled, removed our dishes promptly and we didn’t have to ask for anything.. she was on top of it throughout our visit. She was also providing the same service to other tables around us with a smile and upbeat positive attitude which you don’t see in today’s food service. She has amazing customer service skills.. thank you Stacy!!

Always great service from Jerry, Emma and other servers/bartenders. The food is on point. Have had one mistake from the kitchen, but i was allowed to keep the entrée and they made me a new one. Love the chips and salsa. They have punch cards for lunch items to earn a free lunch and rewards program to earn 1/2 off queso and $5 off after spending $75.

On the Border is my new favorite Mexican restaurant! My son and I arrived at 8:30 PM. The environment was immediately inviting upon entrance, and the delicious aromas that filled the air made us feel welcome.
It has been a few years since I found a Mexican restaurant that met my expectations for a great dining experience, but I was in heaven here! We were immediately seated and presented with two clean, easy-to-read menus. The pictures on the menu were accurate and actually matched the food we later ordered.
Our waitress made us feel right at home. Chips and salsa were placed on the table even before we ordered beverages! The salsa had the perfect bite to pair with a perfectly thin, salted corn tortilla chip. We ordered our drinks, which arrived in an expeditious manner. Our waitress gave us a few more minutes to enjoy our chips and salsa before deciding to order, with no pressure to rush. She assured us that if we had any questions regarding the menu, we should please ask.
Shortly after 9:00 PM (Side note: they close at 10:00 PM on Friday nights), we placed our order: the El Gran Papi and the Birria Quesa Tacos, along with an order of guacamole dip. While we continued munching on chips and salsa, the waitress checked in to see if we’d like more, letting us know our meal would arrive shortly.
The food arrived in a timely fashion, served fresh and hot. The presentation was spot-on and very appetizing. The waitress asked about refilling our soda, and at that time, I asked for sopapillas to go. My eyes were bigger than my stomach! I was provided with leak-proof containers for my leftovers and was even asked if we would like chips, salsa, or soda to go as well. Yes, please!
The food was delicious, and it was even better this morning. You know the food was perfect when the leftovers taste even better the second day!
I have found my new go-to Mexican restaurant, as the menu offers a variety of great plates. Yes, we are definitely signing up for the rewards app!
I was extremely pleased that, even though we were so close to closing time, there was absolutely no rush on our meal or our service. Bravo! I am a fan, and the service I received was above and beyond my expectations. (Of course, I would not suggest abusing such hospitality by showing up after 9:30 PM on weekend hours!)

This is a good place to bring large groups of people for a party. It has lots of space and a nice-looking interior. When I visited, it was not quite a dinner time yet, so there were significantly fewer people, so the service was very fast and attentive. The food is good. I tried that variety plate. The highlight is enchiladas. Those mango and strawberry margaritas are excellent!

In my mind, I always want it to be amazing, and then we go… the food is marginal. The service is ok. The place is dirty. The quality of food has gone downhill!! Then I apologize to my family for taking them.
