Tell them you each want your own thing of salsa & they'll hook you up without having to worry about refills every 2 minutes

Josh Dearing

The avocado fries seemed too odd not to try. Lightly battered, and served with a mildly spicy sauce - quite good!

Paws McDermott

Love this place! Great fresh, guacamole and large portions . Never a bad meal.

Karen Dixon

Love the Dos Equis fish tacos and sopapillas ! Make sure to call ahead on weekends!

Jason Shellhammer

If health was and cleanliness mean anything. This place would fail every time. I walked out because every glass and then the plates and silverware appeared to not be properly cleaned . Eat at risk.

F.A.T. Entertainment Nick Eckert

Karen Dixon

Excellent sangria and empanadas !

Richard

What happened? Where did the service go? Restaurant isn't even half full and they can't Handel it? And did portions get drastically smaller? Doesn't feel like the same on the border.

Matt Taylor

Try the Tacos !!!

G T

It's ok. Nothing to write home about.

Holly Riker

Bad Hostess , waited at door for 5 minutes without being acknowledged but then went over to the bar and was quickly served.

Amber DeHaas

Try the skinny wild berry margaritaaaa yummy

Josh

$3.25 Margaritas during Happy Hour . 5:00 - 7:00 I believe.

Cindy Ortega Carrillo

We will never eat there against. There was feces on wall in the men's restroom , when my husband told the manager his response was " What do you want me to do about it?" REALLY!!

Hailey Miller

No more avocado !! ????✋

Elaine

Best salsa ! :)

Becky S.

Not a fan of the rice . It's dry and overcooked. The fish tacos are fried. Not baked. I think ruby Tuesdays tacos are much better.

Bill Hurst

Dirty table, slow service, average food. Now I remember why it's been so long since we've been here. In no hurry to go back.

JEN RILEY

Chicken tortilla soup is so gross, dried up rice & beans looked awful. Friend didn't eat her soup and still got charged even after they brought it out after her food. Service sucked.

Nikki Hiphopoulos

chicken tortilla soup is the best!

Scott H

Looks like "On the Border" means the border of Jersey & PA because the food is no bueno.

Gunga Dinn

Hard to find. It's over by Targets

Loren Raisner

Don't ever come here. chicken tortilla soup is nasty the chips were soggy. Also the salad was out of a bag. And my drink had an eyelash in it. Horrible

Dennis M

Get the carne azada

king willadelph
