On the Border is by far one of my most favorite chain restaurants. Their decor is top notch. I love the plants and the plates that hang on the wall. The chandelier made out of beer bottles is also a nice touch. I like the food too. Like an earlier reviewer, I love the Empanadas. They have cheese, unlike other Empanadas, but they taste great! I also enjoy ordering the "Choose 4" combo for $9+. It is a good deal since it can feed two adults. (as long as neither one has a voracious appetite) What I most enjoy are the bottomless chips and salsa. The salsa really is hot, "picante, caliente!"
The prices are reasonable, too. You can eat your fill for under $10 a person as long as you only eat an entree.
The staff are mostly pretty good, though one host wasn't that great.
Be forewarned, though: if you eat too much everything tastes the same. And the refried beans aren't that great. Also parking can be a hassle during peak times since this restaurant and the Macaroni Grill next door are both very busy.
