On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina

This restaurant was amazing, the fajitas were heavenly. You get a bang for your buck here, as the portion sizes are generous. This is definitely worth it! The best Mexican restaurant in Fayetteville, hands down. And the customer service was amazing.

I just moved up here with my husband and this was the best Mexican restaurant I’ve ever been to. The food was absolutely amazing and flavorful compared to all the places I’ve been to in South Carolina Jeanette was our server and she was so personable and just a great server in general. Highly recommend this place !

New to the area and sampling local establishments. We walked over to the restaurant from Barnes & Noble across the way. First time there for either of us. As luck would have it we got a first-day employee, Emma, being trained by a helpful and welcoming woman, Vivia (sp?), who greeted us in lieu of a hostess and helped us throughout our service. They were both very attentive and it was clear that this was a training scenario, complete with good examples throughout. I’m sure we’ll be back and I’m sure Emma will be a pro by then and Vivia the same welcoming presence as she was last night. Thanks to the both of them for a pleasant evening.

First time having dinner here at the Border. We ordered mango nada, chimichanga and carne escada steak skillet. The mango drink look and taste great. My chimichanga is delicious 😋. The beef on the skillet has great flavor. The waitress was very nice but the order was not correct. She forgot the soup and the refill on my ice tea was pretty slow. Overall experience was very good. If you are in the mood for dip and chip and Mexican food, definitely recommended. Our total bills including tip was around $65.

Good Food & One Rockstar Employee vs. Total Management Failure. ​I really want this place to succeed because the food was actually good and the restaurant has so much potential, but the service with one major exception was a disaster. ​The Highlight: A One-Woman Show ​The lady in the attached photo is the only reason this review isn't a 1-star. Even though the restaurant was empty, the rest of the staff seemed checked out. This woman was doing it all. ​She took over tables that weren't even hers to ensure guests were cared for. ​She maintained a vibrant, positive attitude despite the chaos. ​She stepped up to do the manager’s job checking on tables and apologizing for the long waits and mistakes. ​The Issues: Absent Management & Unprepared Staff ​Unfortunately, the leadership was nowhere t
