The food was horrible. I've never been to a Mexican restaurant and the food was cold. The food seemed stale. The presentation was dreary. I called to place a to go order and they wouldn't take it over the phone. Very

Service was good, food was borderline inedible. Everything was cold and no real seasoning. Weren't even busy, only had 4 or 5 tables full.

I had the Birria tacos. The meat was tender, and the sauce was good. The beer was warmer than it should be.

It’s the Chili’s equivalent of TexMex. (Literally owned by the same company) Food is good and consistently the same. Has some interesting flavor combinations and drinks. (Again, like Chili’s) For this particular location it was clean and operating well. Our server Tyler did an amazing job of being attentive and pleasant despite working the entire dining room by himself. Thus service actually getting 5 stars.

This place felt dead. Like, a funeral home. It was dark and hazy in the middle of the day. And the patrons and staff seemed dead, no life, no energy. Weird.Anyway. Food was almost inedible. Got the fajitas. Literally no seasoning on it. Imagine throwing a piece of chicken on the grill without even s & p. Guacamole was mashed avocado slime. Salsa and broken up fried tortillas were okay. Flavoured lemonade was tasty.Hair in the bathroom sink. Yucky.

The service was great but the food wasn't very good. The margaritas were awesome! The bathroom smelled like moldy dish rags1?

For a very popular restaurant in the past, I was surprised to see maybe 8 other people here. The food, drinks and service was really good though. It was just kind of sad to see. I went to another OTB in Tulsa and it was the same way. Just wonder what happened as it was always a great place to go for happy hour and appetizers. We went for dinner this day and we’re quite surprised.

The Chips + Salsa were the only decent items. Service was okay. Food was not enjoyable. Couldn't finish my plate. The worst Mexican food I have had in a long time. The restaurant smelled and just looks run-down. They should of paid me to eat the food.

If I could give 0 stars I would..me and family came in Saturday around 3/4ish while our server I believe his name was David or something like that.. he was beyond AMAZING but what he told us before we left truly broke my heart. There was 7 of us 3 kids 4 adults. He proceeded to let us know that nobody wanted to take us because of the stereotypical assumption that blacks do not tip. Also the bartender was refusing to make our drinks so he had to himself. Me being a server myself I would never refuse to serve a table just because the color of someone’s skin. If it wasn’t for him being so warm and interacting I would have left. I definitely will not be returning to this location EVER again

Always love this place. I even buy the On the Border tortilla chips for home tacos. The chips and salsa are amazing. However if you can't take the heat, ask for mild. But the mild is really really mild. Not sure if there's an in-between. Great food, great atmosphere, great service. 5/5 stars.Vegetarian options: They offer it, that's all I know about that.
