Reviews for On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina - Arlington in Arlington, TX

So good so fresh! The avocado fries were just awesome. Had the combo and the New Mexico plate with Chile relleno and an... enchilada de carnitas WoW! The rice needs work but the main dishes were great. Great service very attentive staff. Will be back. Read more

First time to this location, we usually go to the one closer to the mall. Was hoping it would be less busy than the other place,... which it was! Food came out in a timely manner and was delicious. I'm not much of a food critic, doesn't take much to make mehappy lol. The waitress was nice too. It was just her and a single trainee handling everyone's tables, they did a great job! Read more

Maurice is the GOAT! He's the best bartender I've had in a long time! He gave me an honest opinion of what was good or not,... something I don't often receive at other places. His recommendations were spot on! I got the shrimp tacos and they were awesome!Also can't beat the $5 margarita, I think it was coconut. All around great experience! Read more

Service was bad. I ordered 3 different tacos and they were all gross. I ordered tacos Al pastor, birria tacos, and tacos Al... carbon. They were all very dry. Don?t order the tacos at this place. The beans and rice were good :) Read more

Throw the whole restaurant away! Filthy from the front door to the back. This was the womens restroom. In these days and time... hand washing is critical and the soap dispenser is broken.. we ordered guacamole and chips and that was the best dish broughtout. I ordered the taco salad with ground beef and the mystery meat was cold and pink when I brought it to manager Mike?sattention he told me the meat comes fully cooked from an outside company. I only took the one bite and told him I couldn?t eatit and handed him the plate. He said he would take it off but when the bill for the guacamole was brought out it still had theprecooked mystery meat salad on it, he conveniently forgot to take it off! If the waitress Wendy wasn?t so sweet I would havewalked out without paying. Stay away this place is going to give someone a lengthy stay in the hospital Read more

The Coke had almost no flavor so I had to drink ice tea. They were seriously short on help but isn't everybody? Service time is... a reasonable all things considered. Food had a good flavor, the portions were a bit smaller than most similar restaurants.Typical salsa out of a jar but overall a good meal Read more

Top off to the chefs here food was great and well prepared. The customer service was by far excellent. My waitress Ella and her... trainy Leslie were very on top of their game just from observing them work the room to make sure every customer was taken careof. I would definitely come back to this location! Read more

Queso could have been warmer, it started to chunk up pretty fast after hitting the table. The chips hurt my teeth really bad and... I can pretty much eat anything. It took a while for them to acknowledge us when we walked in to be seated, but the service wasactually really great. The drinks from the bar took 15 mins or so, and were almost too sweet. However the girl waiting on us wasvery sweet and attentive, and always swinging by the table. They have outdoor seating available, but on hot days appears theyhave no fans or misters available so take caution before you ask for an outdoor seat in the summer if it's hot. The place lookswheelchair accessible with double swing doors. Aside from everything else, it's a nice place to stop in with a date and have achat and drink and move on. I would just blame general post-covid staffing issues. Read more
