Reviews for On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina - Fair Oaks in Fairfax, VA

After a long time not being in this place, I felt this is the last time. The last time there it was not great, but this time is... the last for sure. The service was not so great! The server was moving around with no mask ! She was saying comments not sogreat ( like don?t take much time to order!! ) The food was super late in spite of was not full, the food was super bad and weall had stomachache and diarrhoea after that !! This time it was not a nice visit ! As a person eat outside on regular basis,this place for sure is out of my list. The shrimp was still not done The dishes was not freshly made ! Read more

My online order had barely any chicken on it when I asked for it and to top it all off, I found a hair on my nachos. I?m... disgusted, never going here again Read more

The food was very good. The tortilla chips and sauce were delicous. Price was right. The only down side was service was a bit... slow. I'll definitely go back. Read more

Located in the mall, On The Border was a good, reasonably-priced restaurant with an average selection of dishes. My family... needs gluten-free options and their QR code menu detailed all sorts of allergen information. All three of them found somethingtasty and satisfying. My dish was equally as good, though it's nothing I haven't had before... And better... For the same pricepoint. Our waitress was patient and quick to help, though the restaurant was mostly empty when we visited. Regardless, we werecertainly pleased with the service. Drinks were standard fare, again, middle of the line, but they were also not too expensiveso I can't complain there! I'm the end the meal was quite good and in our price range, though for the same bill, we could'vegone to a range of other places. On the flip side, it's in the mall and convenience is often king. 4/5 for the price, standardfood and good service. Not going to win any awards, but that's OK! We all left full and satisfied!

When we first arrived there was no one at the hostess counter and it took at 3-4 mins to be acknowledged and get a seat. But... after that the waitress was great and the food was delicious. This is probably one of most favorite places to eat at FairoaksMall. Read more

The food wasn't bad, per se, but it was not really good either. Everything was in its own container like a TV dinner and I had... to put it together. Kind of expected a hot dish to eat from, not cold ingredients separated from the warm, molten nachos.Disappointing. Read more

On the Border in Fair Oaks Mall is really good. I like the fast service. Ambience is good, music is good and best thing is happy... hour. You get $5 Margaritas during happy hour. If you have never been here then use yelp checkin offer to get free SignatureQueso it is amazing. They give free chips and salsa. My favorite is Chimichangas I take it every time I am here.
