Reviews for On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina - Edmond in Edmond, OK

We had a taco bar catered for our charity event thanks to this restaurant and it was the perfect kickoff. The tacos were... perfectly filling and extra tasty. Everything arrived hot, on time and ready to serve. They even had vegetarian options. Wouldrecommend for your next party! Thanks for supporting Extra Life and the Children's Hospital! Read more

Unfortunately it's been hit or miss lately. Tonight I ordered the Chicken Ranch Fajitas (approximately $15) the rice was... extremely dry and cold. The chicken was overcooked, dry, cool, and chewy. I recieved my tortillas (4 of them) a bit after thedish was served. They were also not hot and had a wierd taste. I brought this politely to the servers attention (which I onlydo if severely bad) to which she immediately gave the defensive excuse that it was due to the fact that they were really busyand just trying to do their best. (The restaurant was not even half full and had several servers at the time) I told her thatI would like to tell the manager in that case. He insisted on discounting the bill even though I said I wanted to pay. I hopeto return for a more improved experience at another time to update this review. Read more

8.49 or 8.79 for a half empty bowl of queso. I can buy a whole velvetta log for that. 15.99 for 3 birria tacos that weren't... worth the money for the little bit of filling it has inside. We had to search for the cheese. They weren't even made properly???? Sure don't look anything like the picture in the menu. More like street tacos. They were still good but not the same asother places. The little sample cup of consommé was an insult for 3 tacos. Anyway. Idk if I'll be back. Food was decent, staffwas good but the prices for the amount. Not so much. Imo. Pictures for reference. Read more

The wait to be seated was about 10 to 15 minutes, which isn't bad in a busy restaurant, but this place was not busy. They... don't have enough employees scheduled, so there was no Hostess to seat us. Two other families came in behind us. When thewaiter/hostess/bar tender came and seated us and completely forgot the other people at the door and took our order walked aroundchecked on other tables, and eventually I watched both families leave. I'm telling you despite that, that man was a superhero without him that restaurant would have shut down that day, I believe his name was John. He was going above and beyond todo all these positions that I guarantee he wasn't being paid enough to do. Our food came out just fine, we enjoyed it. Ourbiggest complaint is they need to get a lot more employees. The manager was in the back cooking tortillas. I'd go back andgive it another try , but I hopefully next time the are properly staffed.

The new management and staff here are doing fantastic to turn this place back up again. I noticed an updated menu, and a... fantastic and well thought out summer menu including drinks and desserts. They are very personable and work hard to make youhappy even if they are understaffed. This place used to be SO busy back in the day, and I've returned a couple times now to aneven more full restraunt and quick service. I've talked to the new manager a couple times now about the changes and he's a verycool guy that is respectable to his workers. Thanks guys ! Read more

Waited to be seated for 10 minutes when they weren't busy. **Update: We went back and were disappointed. The lady manager with... Blonde hair doesn't get in a hurry to seat you. Several groups left because they were tired of waiting. We stuck it out andwaited to be seated. Our waitress was nice but they were obviously understaffed. The manager was telling people it would be 45minutes on food orders. Out waitress did a great job until our food came out. The chicken fajitas left a lot to be desired (seepicture). Talked with the waitress confirmed that it looked good to her. Talked to the manager who was courteous but alsoconfirmed that the plate was up to their standards. No big deal it was sent back and removed from our tab. We ordered quesofrom the club, where you buy it once and then it's free for a year. We were charged full price for the queso ($8). Everyone waspolite but it's obvious they just don't really care. We will never visit this location again. Read more

Usually love On the Border, but my portobello fajitas were terrible. I think if portobello is the "meat" of these, there should... be more of it. I can't ever remember fajitas being brought to our table not steaming. A couple of the vegetables were basicallyraw, a couple were mush. I don't even know how that happens. When they offered a to go box, we declined because we watched themtake one off of a dirty table and put I back on the stack to give to someone else. Our menus were also very dirty. Read more

Ok Mexican food. Not great, but ok. Service was quite slow. I think there may have only been one waiter in the entire... restaurant last night. They were ok with modifying menu items to make them vegetarian. Thanks ! Unfortunately, the food wasextremely salty. Read more
