Review by Vincenza

On the Border Mexican Grill & Cantina offers a cozy atmosphere perfect for a casual meal. I stopped by for lunch and ordered the fantastic chicken fajitas, which were bursting with flavor and served with generous portions. The margaritas were equally impressive - massive and refreshing! Our server was attentive but a little overwhelmed, leading to some delays in service. Despite that, the vibrant vibe and delicious menu items made for an enjoyable experience. I’ll definitely be back for more... 🌮
