    Thing I liked: the ability to dine outdoors. Things I didn't: The food was not terribly good, overpriced and slow. Compared to other local mexican fare, it leaves a lot to be desired.

    Mediocre food. Our server was too "present", could barely eat our meal in peace.

    Food would have been good if it had arrived warm. Lifeless shrimp,steak was a couple of little cubes,large pile of excellent rice with corn in it. Used to be excellent, Friendly, but very slow service. Seems to be more of a bar than a restaurant now.

    Was only here for like ten minutes getting a take out order for my sweetie. Decided to sit at the bar and have a margarita while I waited. Um...yeah it wasn't worth the price.

    i'm very surprised to see all these negative reviews! we ate at On the Border a few days ago driving from Boston to Bangor, and found that not only was the food delicious, but our waitress was awesome - she pegged us for vegetarians based on what we ordered and offered vegetarian rice and beans instead of the regular stuff - maybe a small gesture but really, really appreciated! we also ordered "shaken margaritas" and they were yummy. i dont know what this place is like on weekends or at night, but for a mid-afternoon meal on a long drive it was perfect. and seriously, A+ for being so intuitive and professional about your customers' dietary choices :)

    My first time here and in fact the staff was quite friendly, got us seated and served good tasting chips and salsa in a matter of minutes. I ordered the Chicken Salsa Fresca and found it pretty good. Wonder why so many have such bad experiences! Will definitely go back again.

    .5 stars. That's "point 5" Even after our expectations were diminished when we found out this is a chain restaurant, we were still disappointed in the food and the service. NO-NO.

    Service was good, restaurant was clean and most of the food was good. The tortilla chips were fresh and very tasty without having to put them in salsa. Very well done. Two of us ordered meals and one person ordered the Border Sampler as their meal. The steak nachos were a great disappointment. The menu failed to mention the chips are slathered with beans. Had we known this, we would not have ordered. They were literally slathered like putting peanut butter on bread for a sandwich. The rest of the nachos had a couple pieces of steak and cheese. The chips lost all crispness by the time the plate hit the table. We brought them home to give to the dogs. The quesadilla was good, but very inconsistent. We discovered that there were onions in it, but not until the third piece. The 4th piece had a piece of a pepper. The onions were very nicely cooked but were only present in one piece. The chicken flautas were good. Avocado with Red Chile Pesto enchilada was fantastic!! The Three Sauce Fajita Burrito was very good as well.

    Boo, tear, sigh...this is the last time I will visit an On the Border. The once spectacularly spicy bloodymarys served in a pint glass, and the ginormous "create your own" grilled burritos are sadly no more. I went to eat here with my roommate, and we had been fans of this chain for years. Their chips were warm and super salty, the drinks were large and tasty, and the burritos were massive and contained tons of fresh veggies. What more could you want from a Tex-Mex chain? BUT now I just can't figure out what happened.. First, there is no more option to create your own burrito. No grilling, no choice of veggies, nada. So while we hunted for something else to order we ordered adult beverages. Our drinks came out a quarter of their normal size. My roommate's mojito tasted like simple syrup with a splash of rum. To correct this problem, our waitress took the drink back and decided that maybe if she threw 3 more shots into the simple syrup, she could make my friend forget how bad it was. We weren't fooled. Next came the guacamole "LIVE", where the waitress made guac table-side, with bare hands(ewe) and forgot the citrus. This cost 8 dollars. Finally came the Habenero fajita that I had chosen. The portions were tiny. You had to choose cheese or guac as an additional option, for more money. Cheese should NEVER not be included! The portions were small,the skillet was not sizziling, and to top it off the Habenero sauce which came on the side tasted like flavorless red tinted cannola oil. GROSS. I must find a new Tex-Mex place stat.

    I don't use a lot of salt - almost everything we ordered was incredibly over salted - the guacamole was salty - the Chili con queso was inedible with its salt content - My avocado enchiladas where salty but edible - My companion's 3 variety enchiladas with pulled pork, and chicken were so salty she only finished one. Our pleasant waitress relayed our disappointment to the manager who had bought us a take out order of enchiladas and rice which was actually very good.

    I was impressed that they had menus (at least online) for dietary restrictions. I was able to order gluten-free and dairy-free; although they can't guarantee cross- contamination. Food was good but could use more spices. Lastly, why won't restaurants stock Redbridge? It's available, please stock it so gluten-beer is available !!!!!

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
