On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina

I absolutely love there mango tangos! Great happy hour selection of drinks as well as food! Good bartenders as well!

Start all over find a real cook get better servers .. pretend like you give a shit . Get fresh ingredients. Clean the shit pit up .. try to get the rancid smell out of this place start selling hotdogs. It's harder to mess that up.

Food was hot house margarita was ok have had better else where and can make a better at home. Fajitas were tender could have little more season/flavor. Service was good not to rushed and wasn't forgotten about. Basic chain decor.

I had the pleasure of dining at On the Border in Corpus Christi, and I was very impressed with the food and service. I ordered the chicken tortilla soup, which was excellent. The soup was rich and flavorful, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. My boyfriend got the tacos and cheese quesadilla, and he really liked both. The tacos were filled with fresh ingredients, and the quesadilla was crispy and cheesy.

We also tried the Liberita Margarita, which was delicious. The margarita was made with layers of strawberry puree, lime 'rita, and blue curacao, and it was the perfect combination of sweet and tart.

The service at On the Border was also excellent. Our waiter was friendly and attentive, and she made sure that we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back to On the Border soon!

We just arrived in Corpus for a military move and the house wasn't ready. Traveling with a dog and cat makes it difficult to eat out. We were able to sit on the patio here with a cat crate and pup in tow. The staff were SO nice here and it was much appreciated. Green sauce is yummy here, tortilla chips were kind of meh....like broken up taco shells.

We had visitors from out of town who chose to come here, even though on past visits we had not been impressed with the food or service. The menu is pretty standard Mexican mainstream: fajitas, burritos, tacos, enchiladas, nachos and salads. Our party of 7 had to wait almost 15 minutes to be seated even though the restaurant was almost empty on this Sunday afternoon. We were finally seated and given menus.

It took a long time to give our drink orders, a long time to give our food orders and even longer to receive our food. The complimentary chips and salsa were fine but we were all hungry and ate too many chips before our meal.

When the food came it was meh. Bland and uninspired. Cheese enchiladas tasted old and dry, the chili sauce very dark and tasteless. Refried beans needed salt. Mexican rice was very good but had corn in it? Fajitas and quesadillas were ok but dry. Tortillas were fine. Our waitress was terrific and attentive without being annoying but even her stellar service wasn't enough to raise the food out of the "yawn" category.

Total for a family fajita plate, enchiladas, quesadillas and seven soft drinks was $87.90 before tip.

Absolute 5 star rating and well deserved! Came for dinner and were immediately seated by a cordial, smiling, easy going thoroughly professional young lady w/a cool tshirt saying 'Nacho Momma' (NM). She escorted us to our both, served our menus and took our order for drinks; and most importantly asked if we also water. she returned w/in 5 minutes and took our order for entrees. The manager appeared, we had a short pleasant conversation. 15 minutes later she and NM returned w/our food.
Both of these ladies epitomize the term 'consummate professionals'. They represent the OTB restaurant brand in setting the standard for how ALL restaurants should conduct business. Their superiors should take note that wonderful people like them are hard to find lately; they deserve a raise, or impact award for their conduct. The totality of their wonderful, considerate attention to us personified our 'dining experience'. Strongly endorse OTB restaurant; and they give a military discount. Bring your Families guys this is the place to bring them. If you are lucky you get to meet Nacho Momma!

Middle of the road Tex-Mex chain. Great guacamole!

Bonus star for our server being an absolute sweetheart.

So disappointed. We are regulars here so we found a couple of people we like to sit with. When covid happened we found a couple of backups in case those weren't there. When we came in tonight we saw two of those working and were told by the hostess that we can't sit with them. She didn't ask us if we wanted to wait, she didn't ask the server (which sometimes lets us sit and just get a drink while we wait for them to catch up and get to us), she didn't even apologize when she said "I just sat them", she just stared at us and didn't say anything, so we ended up leaving and went elsewhere.

Also, we called prior to arriving and asked for a manager (because they pretty much have to know you before telling you if someone's working, which I understand). The person answering responded with "sure" (that's it, just sure), then they transferred the call and it rang twice and someone picked up the phone but never said anything. I could hear people talking, dishes or glasses being moved around like someone clearing a table, and even a register but NO ONE ever spoke or answered.

Where do I start? Well the 2 stars is probably generous; however, one of us liked our meal (kinda).

Maybe 6 to 8 tables in the restaurant were occupied. It took 5 mins before anyone came to the hostess spot. The drinks were another 10 mins. We barely saw the waitress and she had only 3 tables.

The food was bland ... fajitas, rice, beans ... all bland. The beef fajitas were chewy. Even the shrimp looked boiled rather than grilled. I asked for limes with my beer .. she brought lemons(face plant!!).

Saving grace ... the flaunts and salsa were good!
