Reviews for On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina - Auburn Hills in Auburn Hills, MI

First time visiting this establishment and have no complaints. Restaurant was nice and clean and I was seated as soon as I got... in. My waiter Preston was awesome and on top of everything. I didn't have to finish my first drink before he had a refillsitting there for me. Usually I'm stuck waiting for a while after it is empty before I can wave someone down. So I was veryhappy with that. Had the Firecracker stuffed Jalapenos as my side and they were great. The main course was the Grande Fajitasand came with more than enough meat and toppings to finish off the 4 fajitas. Everything was nice and hot. And felt like I gotmy food faster than some wait times at fast food restaurants. Would visit again. Read more

Stopped in here for lunch with my mom and neither of us were impressed at all with our food. I got the portobello quesadilla and... chicken tortilla soup combo. The soup was SUPER salty (and I like salt) and half of it was just two giant chunks of zucchini.And the quesadillas didn?t even have portobellos in it? just zucchini, yellow squash and peppers smothered in cheap cheese. Theserver did offer to take it off the bill and order me something else when she saw there weren?t even mushrooms on it, so thatwas nice. We decided against ordering any other food though as we were already really disappointed with the taste and qualityand neither of us are our meals. Maybe we just had a bad cook, but I wouldn?t go back there again. Read more

First, food and service was on par for what to expect from a themed sit down chain. No complaints there. Everything else just... seemed off, like going into a Sears that's been going out of business. The old rah rah atmosphere is gone, it felt like a mallfood court. The seats were faded and cracked, the decor hasn't been updated in a long time. I get it, in this post COVID world,inflation through the roof. I'm sure the staff is doing the best they can within the confines of the "Corporate knows best"hellscape, but the bathrooms were also gross. I can't remember if they were playing any background music but the sound of thedeath knell was quite loud. Read more

I went here on a whim after a few restaurants were so understaffed I couldn't get a seat. I sat at the bar and immediately felt... like I made a great choice picking this. The margs were fantastic and a good size for the price. The food was amazing too and Ileft super happy. The bartender, that I very unfortunately forgot the name of, gave me lots of advice when I asked for it andshe gave some amazing service when I was exhausted from the day. Read more

Food was mediocre. Server was overworked. Tables were in need of cleaning. When the hostess sat us...she had to re-clean our... table & seats. I watched the servers buss several tables & wipe the food right onto the floor. Food was bland & barely warm. Read more

Amazing food! Would come again! The silverware was spotless clean so I didn?t have to worry about germs and the food tasted... fresh and amazing! Read more

The initial starter complimentary chips and salsa was good but we found the salsa a bit "hot". Just personal preferences to be... fair. This is all they have also. No alternative. He ordered the Chipotle shrimp tacos. They were very average. I ordered thegrand taco salad. No so grand. Decent in taste but hardly had any meat and toppings were skimpy. Not hardly enough in comparisonto the greens (cabbage and I believe Romain ) Waitress was wonderful and attentive. The cleanliness of the overall restaurant(floors and tables as well as restroom were little to be desired. We were sat at a 2 person booth that had a terribly torn seat(not the most comfortable) even tho there was only 2 other families in entire restaurant. Small table would've been fine hadthey been busy but at 4 on Friday it was a wide open. Not the worst restaurant we've visited but we would never return to thisparticular one. Read more

If you're in the mood for some Tex- Mex/southwestern type food, you've come to the right place. The cheese enchiladas were very... delicious, and my husband loved his steak fajitas. We tried both the original queso and their smoked queso, and came to theconclusion that the original is by far better than smoked one. We also devoured the chips and salsa. This is a good place ifyou're looking for some casual comfort food dining. Be prepared for a wait time though, specially on weekends. Read more
