What people say

According to a recent review in The Dallas Morning News (June 2021), "On the Border is back to serving up its own brand of Tex-Mex classics." The review praised the fresh ingredients used in the dishes and complimented the restaurant for its affordability.

Another review by D Magazine (May 2021) said that "On the Border knows how to craft some of the most crave-worthy Tex-Mex around." The reviewer recommended trying their fajitas, which they described as "juicy and flavorful."

However, a customer review on Yelp from April 2021 had a different experience. The reviewer wrote, "I was really disappointed with our meal tonight. It was overpriced for what we received and nothing stood out as being particularly good."

Another Yelp review from March 2021 raved about the margaritas, writing, "their margaritas are top-notch and worth trying!"

Overall, On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina appears to receive mixed reviews from both publications and customers alike.
