On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina - Fayetteville

The $6 watermelon Margarita was the best thing my friend and I ordered. My friend ordered shrimp tacos and she said it didn't taste very good. I ate all my food because we came in there with a big appetite. I ordered the carne asada but I don't think the steak was a 9oz as stated. The picture of the carne asada on their website looks twice the size which is very deceiving. I've ordered 6oz steaks before and they looked the same size as the 9oz steak here. I don't think ordering the carne asada at On the Border is worth $17. The carne asada comes with rice, veggies, and a jalapeno. To me the rice was bland. I felt like I was eating a pack of microwave rice. The whole time I was wondering what the noise was under our table and come to find there was a puddle underneath us but I don't know if someone spilled something there before us. I hope it wasn't a leak. If you like plain food this is the place for you. Other than that, I recommend going to a different restaurant like Guacaholic in Spring Lake. Guacaholic's carne asada is definitely worth the money there. My friend an I always dine out for some quality time, but we decided that we don't think another visit here would be the best idea.

My mother-in-law really likes this place so when she wants to go out this is where we take her. You never have to wait for a table, the staff is usually very nice. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the rating was a little lower …

Excellent, excellent staff. Madi was our server and she was awesome! We were on a ten top, with lots of different requests. Madi got everything right. The cost was very reasonable. Our Girls Night Out group appreciate you. We will be back!

I don’t ever write reviews on really anything. But, I had to come and share my experience here. I ate here for the first time tonight. It was across the street from Barnes and Noble, so I thought “why not?” Bad idea. I went to place a to-go order, and the service was laughable. There was one guy on the phone where orders were placed. He seemed to be dealing with a difficult customer. It wasn’t very busy. Multiple other employees walked up casually, but nobody thought to take my order. I stood there for 15 minutes, and finally wrote my order down on a piece of paper. I will say that the staff was friendly and apologetic. But, this is hardly a reason fo praise this place. After coming back to get my food, it too 20 minutes to get it. I wasn’t too bothered by this. I had nowhere to be. After getting the bag, of course I had to check it. I had ordered steak fajitas. There was no dressing for them. I have never been to a Mexican restaurant that didn’t have lettuce, tomato, and sour cream with the fajitas. The guy said he would bring me some. That took another 15 minutes. He brought me a small cheese dip cup with everything in that. It was 2 tablespoons worth of lettuce. I was done with the place. I left. After getting home and opening everything, there was maybe 2 cups worth of steak. They were in strips that had a layer of fat covering one side. The steak was high quality, but I don’t like fat on my steak. I had to cut it into smaller pieces to be able to bite through it. A little under half of it, I tossed, as it was all fat. In the two tablespoons worth of tomatoes they gave me, one of the chunks had the outside part of the core on it, where the tomato attaches to the plant. It’s almost as if it was there on purpose. Of all the pieces, what are the chances I get that part in this small amount of tomato. Maybe because it’s all trash. This restaurant is trash. I paid $24.60 for fajitas and a small cheese dip. Even if the food was good and I didn’t have to toss nearly half of the steak, it was still too expensive. But, for food to be this terrible, that price is really lamentable. I am not well off, and I eat at restaurants maybe once a month. I can’t afford them. I won’t be back here. Don’t eat here unless you are okay with awful customer service and overpriced low quality food.
