I've always been curious about On The Border. It took a while to get to one, but it made a nice addition to our Portland area trip. Yes it is a chain, but it ended up being a good experience for the first time. The place definitely has the Mexican look inside and out. Our server was very patient with... More

If you are looking for a good margarita - go on Friday and have a Patron margarita and order their nachos as well. Both of these taste wonderful and are a great end to a hectic week. More

While traveling on business, I had a craving for Mexican food and saw this restaurant while driving to my hotel. While obviously a chain restaurant, it looked appealing from the outside and not being a local, offered the promise of a good Mexican meal. The interior is standard chain restaurant decor, with a Mexican theme of course. The servers were... More

This restaurant is not for me. I would be better served getting taco bell and eating@ home. The food is not good at all. It must be prepared and re-cooked nothing I tried tasted different than fast food. However I don't expect to spend $65.00@ Taco bell for 3 people. Not going back. More

With so many great mom and pop Mexican places in HIllsboro, it was a longtime after opening before I tried this place. The first thing you notice is that its new and very nice with an upscale Mexican decor. There is a full bar section and a dining room. The best part is the menu. Its massive. My favorite is... More

My husband and I were looking for a new restaurant for date night, and a break from our usual dining places, so we tried On the Border. We liked the atmosphere, but when our food came, we were surprised--most of it was lukewarm and my pork tamale was almost cold. Eww.... Apparently it had been left out too long? I... More
