Reviews for On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina - W. McKinney in McKinney, TX
Okay where to begin?. Chips and salsa good Food was okay?. Order Queso as an appetizer never got it. Disappointed?..
We love coming to this location, but the most recent 2 times have not been pleasant. Our first visit we came in an hour and a... half before closing and the place was almost empty, that didnt stop out waiter Santiago from taking over 15 minutes to take ourdrink/appetizer order, another 15 minutes to bring out said drinks and forget our appetizers. The food was still top quality sonothing to complain about there, and he completely forgot the appetizer so we didnt have to worry about being charged. Thesecond time we came in we say that Santiago was our waiter again and gave him another chance. Once again service was not thereand ther appetizer was forgotten, but not on the bill this time. They were kind enough to refund it right there, but it wasenough that we will be going to another location from now on Read more
I was a little scared to visit because of the low rating of this location. Based on my experience, It is entirely... undeserved. The general manager clearly cares and works hard to offer his customers a great experience. My waiter wasexceptional and well trained. The other wait staff were clearly quick and friendly as well. There is a slight wait for someoneto notice you and to have time to seat you but not unreasonably so. You certainly are not ignored. The food was hot, fresh, andyummy. The cooks can use a bit more experience with presentation but the recipies are the same great OTB we all love and servingthem before they get cold is more critical to me than a little sticking together or timing issues. I'm not sure why others havehad an issue but ignore that and go try them for yourselves. It's more likely your smile will be earned here. Read more
Overall an good place stuff your month and get messy. ++Seated on entry +/-Spacious between each table but the tables for 4 is a... bit crammed if your squad are gluttons +Fresh warm chips with salsa +/- Every element of the dish is well seasoned and flavoredbut sauce was bland - Server was very attentive but for foods like these, extra napkins should be available on table Read more
Service is usually excellent; this time for the crowd to be so small, not as much. Our usual server - Earnesto had just left... (he's top notch). Good was as good as before; waitstaff might be new; she was pleasant Read more
Nothing like from the picture! chicken and onions are dead, not fresh. Ofcourse I got the tacos and sauce but I would say not... worth for $15; my first time purchase and had to pretty compromise on taste. Read more
