Reviews for On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina - New Brunswick in New Brunswick, NJ

I was going to give this place the benefit of the doubt, as this place is clearly understaffed, but this was an overall terrible... experience. Waited 30 minutes for a table, then waited another 15 for our waiter to show up, just for the waiter to go away foranother 10 minutes, and then comes back to take our order and drinks. Took 30 minutes to get queso and our appetizers. The quesowas almost water like and did not taste like usual visits. Then, another 25 minutes latee we get our food. It was not good. Thephotos I put speak for themselves. They also forgot a spoon and took over ten minutes to get me a spoon again. And when I openedthe napkin it was in, it clearly wasn't cleaned. As we left, the staff seemed bored and some didn't seem to care. Now, I'm sickbecause of this food. This was an abysmal experience for me and my family. We won't be returning for a while, but may give thema chance in the future. Look at different options in the area if you're looking to eat somewhere. Read more

Horrible horrible experience!!! The food was cold , service was tooooo bad, we had to wait 15 minutes for the silverware and the... food was beyond edible. Will advise everyone to stay away from this location( Brunswick ) the salsa bowls were dirty from allsides with dried out salsa stuck on it, the server had no manners and was wearing a dirty shirt and put our drinks on the tablewhile holding them by the rims. We left the half eaten food right there and wanted to leave but had to wait another 20 minutesfor our check, it was a nightmare!!!! Read more

Perfect place for dinner with friends or family. The food was pretty good, but felt like options were limited for vegetarians.... However their dips are excellent, also the staff is super friendly. Read more

This resturant was in need of a good sweeping. The server Jessica was very good 5 star. The food was very average. The... chicken on the salad came cold. The carna steak was cook well but was very bland in flavor. The chips and salsa were excellent. For those reasons we gave it a 4 star. Read more

Such a lovely experience to dine in here. Frozen Margaritas are the best along with chips & salsa. Love the fact that they... accommodate vegetarian friendly options in almost all their dishes. Definitely recommend this place Read more

We ordered food for 9 people. All the dishes were great, taste nice. You get complimentary chips and salsa. You can swap meat... with beans for veg options. Read more

I have been to this location two times and overall I?d say it?s decent food. They have tons of starters, fajitas, combos,... mesquite grill options, drinks, and much more. The presentation of the foods is well done and the taste is mediocre with theportions being good enough. The staff is very friendly and super helpful. Read more

We tried to go for dinner many times in recent weeks around 8 -9 and we didn?t get a chance to have a table as they were very... busy or lack of staff to serve ( that?s what we were told). So finally we visited this place very few days ago and this timearound 6.30PM and we had a table in the next minute. Our server was very friendly and helpful. This is my first time to thisplace. Interiors/ambiance was colorful, good but looks very old. Tortilla chips with a sauce is the first thing that we wereserved before taking our order. We loved the sauce. Ordered live guacamole making and it tasted awesome. Drinks looked andtasted perfect ????. Restrooms are not really good. Will go back again. Read more
