On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina

You can definitely tell this place has been taken over by the Pappas restaurant group. The food is amazing. Definitely the best fajitas in all of Corpus Christi. Had the fish tacos for the first time today and they knocked it out of the park. Service was fast and efficient and our server was very friendly.

Hubby and I wanted to grab some food and drinks after work yesterday, and we were glad we did. We had the most pleasant server, her name was Cat and she was absolutely wonderful. We didn't have to ask for refills or anything since she was consistently on top of things. She was fast, friendly, and made our dining experience great. The food and drinks were amazing too! 10/10 can't wait to go back!

On the Border has always been our go to place when wanting Mexican food. My husband and I were so disappointed with the food this time. Let’s start off with the chips and salsa..The chips were good as usual, but the salsa was terrible.. They have changed the salsa to some kind of fire roasted recipe that had no spice at all and is very greasy tasting. Our enchiladas were okay, but the tacos we had were saturated with grease. The shells were soggy from the amount of grease in the meat. I don’t know that we will ever go back. Disappointing, to say the least.

Restaurant was mostly empty on the Friday night before Valentine's Day at around 6:30pm which was odd I felt for a major chain, and didn't really fill up as the night went on. We got seated immediately, only to be unseated because the table was still a mess from the previous customer. Once cleaned we were reseated and our server approached. I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt because she said she was still learning (albeit she was in her late 50's early 60's), but she only had us and at the time 1 other (a third table seated a little later), but we had to waive her down to order our food because she was warming up tortillas. I don't know who the apparent celebrity was at the booth behind us, but all 3 managers (men) and our waitress gave them almost undivided attention while we

Got the carnitas fajitas and they were very moist and tender and flavorful. It came with tons of food as well. Rice beans, chips, salsa, and a large portion of meat. Our server was Cat and she was amazing. Very attentive and helpful. Will definitely be coming back.
