Reviews for On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina - Gastonia in Gastonia, NC

Not so great. NEVER go there again. I've never had a $12.00 taco salad with no meat at all in it! I mean there was nothing but... lettuce quac and salsa to put in it. My husband's had no meat in it either. I recommend Charandas highly for this place Iwouldn't feed the food to my dogs Read more

Loved the food. Our server was excellent, despite the lack of staff.

The manager Lee doesn?t seem to know what blanco means. I ordered the queso blanco as I do probably once a week. QUESO BLANCO IS... WHITE! The queso I got is yellow and a completely different consistency. Queso blanco is a runner consistency. What I receivedis thick and bitter tasting. It definitely has another cheese added. It is the only thing I I order and somehow they seem tomess that up. Read more

Service folks were great. Food was lackluster. They were also short on cerveza mexicana. The place seems to be in trouble... business wise. I don't recommend it. Read more

For it to be a Thursday night, not to busy. Our waitress was incredible on point, super sweet. They might have been short... staffed in the kitchen, it took about 45 minutes to get our food. But it was well worth the wait.. Read more

Very cold atmosphere, slow service. There was no coordination amongst servicemen, order was kind of all over the place. Food was... actually pretty good, kitchen staff seemed to be more in tune with the vibe of the atmosphere. Read more

This is my family's favorite place. However, the last visit was not the best. They are short staffed. We waited 45 minutes... before waitress took our drink order. We were there another 45 minutes before she took our food order. After submitting ourorder the food came pretty quickly. But, my husband's food was wrong. The waiter who brought the food out said he would take itback and get the correct order. We sat there for about an hour and he never got his food. My bonus son and I were alreadyfinished with our food and it still never came. So, my husband said forget it and take it off the bill, which they did. Read more

From beginning to end, everyone was great! We ordered the Ultimate Fajita and were very pleased. All meats and shrimp were moist... and delicious. Steak came out as ordered (medium rare) Free chips and salsa were plentiful. All staff wore masks correctly.Covid protocol followed 100% We'll be sure to return. It's one of the few spots that we felt comfortable eating at in Gastonia. Read more
