About On The Border

On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina is a popular spot known for its great service, delicious drinks, and tasty dishes. The restaurant’s mild salsa and white queso are popular choices, and the house margarita is also highly recommended. The guacamole and entrees often impress guests, with portions that are quite generous. For example, the chicken fajita lunch special and the border bowl portobello mushroom are favorites. Despite some roof leaks that caused minor inconvenience, the food quality remains a highlight. The firecracker chicken stuffed jalapeno appetizers are spicy and highly praised. The atmosphere is enjoyable with attentive service and options for vegetarians, kids, and wheelchair accessibility. Recently, the restaurant was acquired by the Pappas food chain, so alcohol service is temporarily unavailable until licenses are reestablished, expected around the first part of July. Customers continue to enjoy the restaurant’s wide selection of food, with many noting it as a new favorite Mexican place due to their excellent chips and tortillas, and amazing fajitas.

Many guests appreciate the convenience for takeout orders, praising how easy it is to call ahead and how quickly their food is brought out to the car, along with friendly service. The chips and salsa are often highlighted as very good. Visitors also mention that the restaurant is very nice, with potential to be a hit, but some feel the food could use a little more flavor or improvement. The happy hour from 4-7 Tuesday through Friday is well-liked, and staff like Nic behind the bar are appreciated for their friendly service and great margaritas.
