On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina

The food was very good, but the music was horrendous. It was so loud you could barely hear yourself talk! we asked twice for them to please turn it down. They finally did, but it was still loud. And as I said before, the food was very good, but it wasn’t hot it was lukewarm. soup and quesadilla lukewarm.

Food was better then expected more authentic then I would have thought 4/5!

Rather than overpriced mediocre boardwalk food we opted here for brunch. Haven’t been in awhile but great! Suggest sharing starters for sure. We were only two, serving sizes are more than ample! We could’ve split a cup of soup and the salad. The queso is a bowl and we got four ice cream sized scoops of guacamole. The ultimate fajitas are a go to..all proteins included. Lots of Mexican rice and refried beans. The brownie sundae was delicious.

The chicken fajita was a little on the bland side. The guacamole was a little brown. But in general, it was ok. The shrimp tacos were very tasty. I'd go back for them.

Waitress was a little scarce after we got our dinners. We wanted another soda but by the time another waiter came around, we didn't want it anymore. We just wanted to pay & leave.

Chicken tortilla soup bowl was extremely salty. I didn't even eat it. Pure salt. The only thing I ended up eating was chips and queso... never going again. Shrimp was also dry and over cooked.

Try literaly any other mexican restaurant this is the most grigofied food ever and thats comming from a white boy, maybe they benefit from the majority of their customers being drunk while eating but as a non alcoholic i was not.

An Outstanding dining experience. Customer service is second to none. Everything we ordered was delicious. Served hot and fresh. Bottomless chips and salsa a must. Firecracker Stuffed Jalapeños just like my mom made. The Ultimate Fajitas are outrageously delicious. During our dinner, manager Terri checked on our experience, and provided us with a gift card for a complementary bowl of their Signature Queso. We will definitely be back.

We used to love coming here but the last 2 times the service has been horrible! 1st time food took 45 minutes to come out and my order was messed up, another 20 minutes for it to come back out. Looked rushed. The server could tell we were flustered. With 2 small kids it's hard to keep them still that long! This time waited almost 20 minutes for drinks and an hour and 20 minutes for food! We had politely spoke with the manager there and after that our server just was really rude. Practically threw the extra ranch on the table and the salad we ordered but didn't receive. All in all spent over 2 hours in the restaurant. Had to find someone else for boxes because our server had just dismissed us at that point. Food is great and reasonably priced but, the poor service makes it hard to enjoy. Especially when you're a busy family that doesn't have time to spend hours at a restaurant. Let down! I liked this place!

No. We went to PF Chang's.

Were so looking forward to a good meal. Service poor. Waited to be seated - weren't given menus and when I asked for them I was told that’s cause you seated yourself - not so! We were told we got the last diet pepsi and would have to drink regular sodas for a refill. The sign said 1/2 price apps but that was only certain ones. Only very hot salsa - no mild. The chimichanga tasted like old grease and the ground beef was mushy like dog food. We left most of our plates. No TP in the bathroom. Not recommended. So many great private Tex mex restaurants in TR. Will continue to frequent those.

thankfully the food was delicious because the service was awful. 3 hosts watched as i walked by the "host stand" without saying a word. after getting a table our waitress seemed uninterested, never checked on us once after taking our order and took a very long time to get our boxes and check...and it was not busy whatsoever. the bartender was also rude and he wasn't even serving us. that takes skill. id only come back for the food but only if i didn't have anywhere else to be because i would most definitely be late. do better because the potential is there.
