"The food really missed the mark at this location. Last time we were here was probably 3 years ago. Initially we thought the restaurant was closed because there were only 3 cars in the parking lot, but the lights were on so we went in. The place was a ghost town, we were the 3rd party at the restaurant. My best guess was because today was a football Sunday 3 weeks before Christmas everyone was either home watching the game or out shopping. From what I could tell there was a bartender, a manager, and probably a cook in the back because service wasn 't super quick; the bartender seared us, took our order, delivered our food, and cashed us out. We ordered a nacho appetizer, chicken fajitas, brisket tacos, and steak/enchilada a plate. The food was not I appealing whatsoever. To make things worse nothing tasted fresh. I must say the nachos were pretty impressive by looks but they were boring and lacking ingredients. As my daughter said I don 't think they made our order with love! Would I go back? Probably again sometime in the future, service wasn 't terrible but for the price I paid it will be another few years again. There are so many other mom and pop shops that are competing for our business now days, so I need to start skipping the chains and keep the money local. Check out the photos I posted."

they have a separate vegetarian/ vegan/ gluten-free menu that I thought to be amazing because I have a hard time to find a restaurant that is vegetarian as I house. eating is very tasty and the staff very nice.

We were in the mood for some Chile Rellenos, but our experience exceeded our expectations with excellent service and perfect beer pairings to complement the consistently delicious food we ordered. Zach went above and beyond...

Our waiter, Kevin, was fantastic. If we return to the House in Tucson, On the Border is one of our favorite places to eat, and this time did not disappoint. The service, food, and atmosphere were just as great as I remembered. Thank you for taking such good care of us! View menu

This was my first time at the restaurant, and I really enjoyed it. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was laid-back. Our waiter was busy, but he made sure to check on us several times. The fajitas were fantastic, featuring a delightful mix of four different meats, along with peppers, onions, and rice. It was the perfect dish for sharing.

This restaurant offers the best happy hour of any Mexican-style establishment in the city. They have incredibly cheap beers, tacos, and unlimited chips and salsa. I had a delightful dinner here a few days ago while watching the Penguins take on the Blues on the TV near the bar. You really can't beat the price of 5 mini tacos, 2 large Dos Equis lagers, and chips and salsa for just $11.41.
