On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina

Anthony Fichera

A very mixed experience. Overall it was a roller coaster. The chips and salsa were pretty good with nice warm chips and nice medium spicy salsa. The drinks were very well done also. Nice pineapple margarita and long island. Tasty 😋 drinks. Then things took a turn....we both ordered fajitas usually a super safe and guaranteed crowd pleaser. Well .... We didn't hear our order coming It should have been the first clue. The chicken and shrimp fajitas well ...they look like they sat there for a while. The place was kinda slow because it was a Monday so it's not like they were busy. The plates were kinda warm. Not really hot at all and not cold. Just kinda warm. They always warn you don't touch the sizzling plates. Not a concern here. Stephanie was a pretty good waitress and I asked her about the lackluster plates and she said they are using a newer system and that 18 year olds shouldn't be touching sizzling plates. The funny thing is one of the shirts of the staff said " always sizzling" ...no no it's not. The chicken was really dry and the beans looked like it was all sitting in the window for awhile. The tortillas were scalding super hot . I wish my plate was even half as hot as the tortillas were. I could barely hold the tortillas. They skimped as there were barely any veggies on either plate. The shrimp was ok it was also just kinda warm. The meal started off great but flopped pretty hard for 20+ per plate. Overall disappointing due to the lackluster meals. It's the first time my girlfriend didn't want a box to take home . Can't blame her the chicken looked pretty pathetic and dry on the plate. I saw other plates coming out sizzling ....so why didn't ours? Obviously it can be done.... Maybe not let the food sit in the window? Chili's can do it why can't you ?

My recent order from On the Border was not only missing items, which means they didn't bother checking the items before packing up, but contained the most disgusting avocado-like food stuff I've ever seen. It was supposed to be guacamole, but it was actually two scoops (still held the shape of the scoops) of lumpy avocado. Large chunks of the avocado were covered in black spots, meaning the avocado was old - something they absolutely saw in the kitchen, but served anyway. The vegetables with both fajita orders were almost completely raw. Nobody wants to eat giant chunks of white onions. Nothing we received was actually edible. I won't trust anything coming out of this kitchen ever again!!

I have never had a worse meal in my life I rather eat a taco from taco Bell's dumpster. Ordered food chicken taco was all wet food was all over the bag. Called management then they try to blame it on Uber eats. Whoever your cook is cooking chicken wet tacos and throws food into the bag. Oh I'll let him know, so you guys just serve garbage I guess. Don't order from here you'll be disappointed.....You want to pay for this and eat this? Nasty food.

OTB in Princeton is our go-to place when we want a quiet night out. The food is always excellent and the the service second to none. We always sit in the bar area and couldn’t ask for more attentive and friendly staff. They don’t even bring us menus anymore as they know us well enough to know exactly what we’ll be ordering.
