We ordered two pick two deals. The photo is of the beef enchilada and cheese enchilada with rice and beans. The enchilada was a flavorless disappointment with barely any filling inside of the tortilla. The food tastes like something you would get from the school cafeteria. The service is average as no one brought me my to go order I had to go back to the counter to check on it even though I was seated inside of the restaurant. The atmosphere is casual and okay for something quick. I definitely would not recommend the food. I could only eat the rice the rest was not good. After I had left the review I went to bed but I was awakened about two hours later with excessive stomach pains. I was awake most of the night sick. This was the only food that I had eaten that could have caused it. I’m still feeling sick.

Brought my date here. she ended up dumping me for my brother. Food was great, ordered the grilled chicken and it was tender and juicy! Server Sarah was so sweet and was very attentive. She offered to many options like dessert, and she was the best. This place is a must must must.

Party of 2 Arrived at prime lunch time.The simple fact that we stood for 5 minutes before a hostess came out should have cued us in. There were 4 tables occupied.Great location. Horrible Management & questionable future? Sad.

Food smelled bad. Sour and funky smell coming from the steak bowl and bowl of soup. The peach tea taste like straight up corn syrup. Chips were really good but salsa just ok. Seats padding is worn out. Left very disappointed.

This on the border makes me feel like im on the border. Lights are made out of dusty mattress springs, the decor are ised bike seats and handlebars made to look like skulls. Service was very shotty. It seems like the area has spoken to rhis location as it’s essentially empty on a saturday.

Visited this place after not coming for a while due to the lack of service we received last few times we came. Tonight and had Ashley as our server. She was awesome, this was the best service we had here. She kept us laughing and we enjoyed our night out!

Place was basically empty. Waiter was in overdrive. Talked over us. Did not spend anytime at our table. Ordered a Barrell aged Margarita. Glass was dirty. I found out after I poured a glass full and drank half. I got a new glass and was told I was getting a fresh one and that never happened. Silverware was not clean. Brought two sets before I accepted one. The experience was totally unpleasant. I won't be back to this location.

Takeout is ice cold... every.single.time. No matter if its lunch or dinner, its the same sad result.

I have been a big fan of OTB for a few decades. Since Covid, it has steadily gone downhill and it makes me sad. The food is not as good as it used to be. Their chips always taste bland and need more salt. Service is not what it used to be either, although our waitress on this last visit was great. Overall, it just isn't what it used to be.

I could have made a better quesadilla at home. Not woth the price. The server could not answer questions about the drinks or the food. She was very pushy to get us to hurry and pay our checks.
