"On the Border is a chain tex-mex restaurant that highlights the bar but has a good restaurant with decent food selections. The place is large with lots of seating. The staff is good. And the prices are reasonable for the large portions on the dishes. I used to go to On the Border about 25 years ago, but it was very popular and the quality of the experience, the wait and the over-worked staff caused the value go down. In the past year, since covid has abated, I returned. Surprisingly, I think the quality of the staff has improved, the best dishes are still here and prices have stayed reasonable. My go-to dish here is the Ranchiladas, which is a combo of a 9 oz mesquite steak (their fajita meat) and two cheese filled enchiladas. I love that spicy sauce it comes with. The other signature dish is there fajitas which I think is one of the biggest and best cooked of all restaurants. Their sides are decent too. The chips and salsa are strong with a nice zesty spiced up salsa. The monster chips are fun too. While I am not crazy about their rice and beans, the one really well-crafted item they have, as well, is the hand made tortillas, which I love. The staff we have regularly here are great. Today we had a lady named Terry who did an exceptional job of being helpful, efficient and very kind. After a long, tiring day of work (for both my wife and I) and having to eat late at 8:30pm, it was so nice to have such a positive person host and serve us this evening. I would have rated the restaurant a 3 star, but staff here is always so good that pushed it to 4 stars."
