On The Border Mexican Grill and Cantina

Pros: Mexican food that is tasty, fresh and reasonably priced.
Cons: None that I can think of.

Every so often I get a craving for Mexican food that just can’t be satisfied with my own home cooking, though I do make a mean Chicken Enchiladas dish, that wasn’t what I wanted on a recent weekend evening. I rummaged through my wallet for a gift ...

Pros: Very good food and plentiful. Manager responded to our complaint.
Cons: The food was slow in coming. It is noisy.

It was a Thursday night at the end of December, 2002, when we met relatives at On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina

Location, Parking, Hours, Reservations:

Pros: Atmosphere & Service, food.

My wife is fanatic about Mexican food; in fact it's her favorite. And so it that I usually treat my wife on her birthday with completely paid for Mexican meal. But believe it or not good Mexican restaurants are hard to come by. The area in which we ...

Pros: Fantastic fish tacos, good service.
Cons: A large number of their dishes are substandard, canned-quality, boring mexican fare.

Even where we live in the somewhat balmy south, a 70 degree day on New Year's Day is a rarity. So my husband and I went for a long drive around town to get out in the sunshine. We ended up right next to an On the Border Mexican Grill & Cantina ...

Pros: great food, fair prices, comfortable seating, good service
Cons: Not worth complaining about

Every time the SO and I drive by the Maine Mall, she always points out On The Border, a local Mexican restaurant chain, out to me and mentions wistfully how much she loves to eat there. So, on a recent special occasion, I took her out to eat there. This ...

Pros: Food Selection,Entertainment,To-Go service
Cons: Some meals are pricey

On the Border is one among the many Mexican restaurants in Amarillo, Texas. Although, there is some special charm in this place that keeps us coming back. And since the food is cheap, we can afford to come back. We normally head up to the local On The ...

Pros: Outside seating, big portions, great drinks & clean environment
Cons: NOT authentic Mexican food, stay away from enchiladas

Being from Texas, means you get a good helping of Mexican food over the years. In fact I would say that almost weekly we eat some form of it come meal time. So I can honestly say that I am an expert when it comes to authentic Mexican food. A ...

Pros: The bathrooms were clean. Free refills on chips and salsa.
Cons: Advertising merchandise for beer given to children.

May 5th, hot desert wind blowing, car full of hungry kids and looking for a decent Mexican Restaurant. Suddenly my son spots On the Border and we whip into a crowded parking lot, grab a spot and head inside. It's dark, cool and incredibly loud. ...

Pros: Food looks good... if you could only get it hot.
Cons: extremely slow service, cold food

Wow, what an inconsistent restaurant. Our first trip was for dinner, and we felt the place was decent, but nothing to write home about. Prices were a little high for the location in Texas compared to other Mexican restaurants. The food took quite awhile ...

Pros: NOTHING
Cons: EVERYTHING!

I just came back from On the Border in Paramus, NJ. I ordered my food and soda, and every soda I got tasted like tonic water, and I kept telling the girl to take it back and finally I said forget it, just give me an iced tea. I got my food and ...

Pros: We normally eat at this on the border once a week with very good service.
Cons: You need to provide good customer service at all time.

We ate at on the border last night at 08-07-07 at 9 pm we ask if they were closing or still open and the greeter said of yes were still open. I just got off work and really wanted Mexican food. the service was terrible. The girl seated us and said she ...

Pros: Large portions for reasonable price
Cons: Service is bad 65% of the time

Whenever you go to On the Border, you take a 50/50 chance on the service. I have been to a few diffe ...

Pros: Excellent food for the price and the outdoor experience
Cons: None here

We decided to try somewhere different to take the twins. We have very few restaurants that are kind of noisy. We look for these type places to ensure that the twins are able to talk and sing during dinner. It keeps them happy. We never want to ...

Pros: fish taco was best but still, so so in taste. Nice deco inside. Great service
Cons: food tasted the same. Not much different in taste of the different sauces.

Bought $200. worth of coupons before Christmas. Was not told I had to use the bonus coupons first and there was a deadline for their use. I just put all of them in my purse and pulled some out when I needed them. When I got to the bonus coupons our waiter explained to us that we had to use them before Feb 28 of this year. Guess I should have checked all the coupons out when I got them. So we are out the $40.00 bonus coupons.
We found the food to be so so. The fish taco was the best item on menu and even though it was the best item on menu I have tasted much better. I will use the rest of my coupons but after that I don't think I would waste my time going back to so, so food when there are lots of Mexican restaurants much better. It is decorated with nice flair but had hard time concentrating because of all the noise. Waiter was nice and the food arrived fast and looked good.

Pros: None
Cons: Pretty much the whole dining experience.

My family and I have tried this restaurant 4 times and have never had a positive experience. The food is comparable to a frozen entree, staff have been less than helpful and it is over priced. This restaurant in OKC when it first opened was very good. We have only eaten at the one in OKC one time and since it was good figured it would be good here too. It wasn't. I would not ever recommend it. We kept trying to give them the benefit of the doubt by trying it several times and at different times of the day. Still, it only slightly improved, but not enough to recommend it.
