Customer Reviews
Outstanding location...I've enjoyed this On the Border for over 35 years...great lunch with family...very affordable and killer chips and salsa....gotta feast on queso, it's excellent...new streamlined menu makes the selections way less overwhelming....beef and chicken fajitas rock! Borderita margarita on the rocks is definately a must...this location is very clean and the bathrooms are very clean as well....service is top notch and all employees definately show a sense of urgancy....food came out fast and was piping hot...Reviews of restaurants are very popular these days and I highly recommend On the Border in Arlington Texas.
I highly recommend getting the Big Burrito, it's not on the menu but it's absolutely amazing. I don't remember my servers name but he was awesome, constant 10/10 service. We showed up a little late and left about 20 minutes before closing but we weren't rushed out like other places do, been here before and will eat here again soon.
Food was great- $6 were fantastic! Our chips were a little cold, and salsa was not cold but not warm either. We ordered chicken fajitas for 2, huge portions. Fresh tortillas, and great side set ups! Even came with the pappasitos butter that I love. My biggest complaint is that this location needs a remodel- the lighting is crazy. Huge bright LED lights and then extremely bright LED hanging lights over each booth. A little mood lighting or ambient lighting would make a huge impact. Overall we were impressed! Once they’ve updated the restaurant to match the food we will be back!
What happened to OTB? This food is HORRIBLE. Everything is different from the rice to the chips to the chili sauce. It’s absolutely disgusting. We ordered take out tonight and had no clue they were now under Pappasitos. We will never eat here again. The classic OTB taste we loved is gone. You can get better tasting food at Taco Bell. Guess we are Abuelos and Chuys customers now.
Good place to eat and drink, if you desire adult beverages. It's near the mall, so can eat before or after shopping. Once you get pass the old wood smell, you can enjoy the rustic decor and the custom liquor bottle light shades. There is plenty of seating and a covered patio. Seating is a combination of booths, tables, and banquet seating. The service during this visit was very good. Our food came out hot, tasted delicious, and plated well. It was slow getting our ticket and I wasnta fan of the server having to go to the back to process the payment, but overall a good experience.
