As a Mexican, this doesn't taste good at all. They don't have spicy sauce, the rice is cold and the beans are mashed, with no taste of anything.

First let me say that this is only the second time I have ever written a review. The first time it was after eating at the Coyoacan Mexican Restaurant in Valdosta, GA, where I had the best steak fajitas I have ever had and the service was fantastic. Unfortunately now I am writing a review for the worst steak fajitas I have ever had. I have been visiting from out of town for a few weeks. Because I enjoy steak fajitas I have been visiting different Mexican restaurants in town. Today I thought I would try out On the Border. My order was supposed to be ready at 6:09 p.m. I showed up right at 6:09 p.m. and I was directed to the take out counter. There I waited for a few minutes as no one was around the bar area. After waiting a few minutes I went back to the front and spoke to the rep that was at the front entrance. She came and was able to give me the food. I went to my car and started eating the fajitas. Immediately I noticed they were cold. Then I noticed that the meat was very tough and very chewy. ( I later noticed the same complaint about the fajitas from a different reviewer). Unfortunately I did not finish all of the fajitas; they were just very unpleasant, so I ended up throwing the rest away. Needless to say, it was a great disappointment, especially considering that I paid over $20 for the meal. I was tempted to take the rest of the meal back into the restaurant and try to get a manager to taste the fajitas themselves but I know they would not have. So if you are like me and you are visiting from out of town and you are looking for a good fajita dinner, I suggest that you look elsewhere. I gave the review two stars instead of one, in the area of "Service" because I wanted to give credit to the young lady that helped me get the cold meal even though it was not her job to do so.

First time trying this location and had the veggie quesadilla plate...large enough portion to take half to go. I'm sure I will be returning.

It was a typical On the Border experience. Good food, not too bad on prices, really good chips and salsa. The reason I'm leaving this review is because my server Michelle that works in the bar, OR at least she does today. She is awesome!!! She's standing there looking at me while I'm ordering a to-go order for several people. Im changing things and adding things and canceling things and changing my mind. She never writes down anything. Just standing there smiling and answering my thousand questions. I was skeptical and I asked her "are you going to remember all of this?" She smiled and said "absolutely". And she did. She nailed the order. I was so impressed. So yeah, if you go here try to get Michelle as your waitress or sit in the bar area. She has an awesome personality with an addictive smile. Best Server Ever!!!Great job Michelle, I hope On the Border realizes that they have a true asset in you.
