As always, food was good but a little pricey. Service was average. We went at an off time, so atmosphere was slow.

Driving through on I-75 and needed to stop for lunch. Was going to get the Pork Carnitas but the server suggested the Brisket Carnitas. I took his suggestion. My Marguerita was perfect, really enjoyed it. Chips and Salsa right out, fast super efficient service. Salsa is spicy at first but mellows out later on the palette...The Brisket carnitas turned out... More

We tried the endless enchiladas special. This special allowed all you can eat enchiladas (chicken, cheese, and beef) for a price less than the three enchilada platter. It came with rice and your choice of beans. Service was very friendly. For a party two we had a 30 minute wait on a Saturday night around 7:30 p.m. for first available... More

Menu entree photos are deceiving. The skirt steak in the Ranchiladas appears to take up a third of the plate when in actuality it's about 4oz. The avocado in the Baja entree was tasteless! Service and atmosphere were ok.

There isn't an On the Border where I live so I make it a point to stop here EVERY CHANCE I GET! The salsa is always perfect and you can't beat the smoked jalapeno vinaigrette. I asked for and got a particularly good customized mojito. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu!

My husband and I ate here last week as we had a $50 gift card. We were greeted quickly upon entering and the host was very polite and efficient. We sat on the patio which was quite pleasant. I had not eaten at On the Border for several years. The margarita was good, chips OK. To start we tried the... More

Ate here with my wife today for the first time in many years. Chips were too thick but the salsa was excellent...somewhat spicey. The service was good but the food was nothing special. Portions were smaller than I remembered. Black beans were tasteless as was the rice. Mystery meat in the enchilada. The best item I had was the chili... More

Friends from Canton will call, enroute to Marietta, and we meet at On the Border. The food is good, the salsa is mildly hot - but not stingingly so, and the place is good for table-side conversations (NO loud Mariachi band music drowning out all the pleasure of enjoying both a good meal and pleasent conversation with friends).

The food was incredible. Our waiter was very friendly and outgoing. They seem to bend over backwards to make sure the customer is totally satisfied. I had the Southwest Tacos and they were incredible. Had a really good tasting sauce on them. Would definitely eat there again.
