On The Border Mexican Grill Cantina

I have to admit, I was a bit hesitant about visiting this place after reading the previous reviews. However, I'm happy to say that I had a wonderful experience. The server was quick and polite, striking the perfect balance without being overly friendly or brusque; she really knew her stuff. I ordered the fiesta trio, which came with tortilla soup, chicken fajitas, and a brownie. My order was processed quickly and served sizzling hot at my table! I was so full from everything that I couldn’t even finish my dessert. I definitely plan to return, especially if they have other great servers!

This casual Tex-Mex chain restaurant is perfectly adequate, especially if you’re in a hurry or feeling hungry. The Border Sampler is a great choice for those who want to try a variety of appetizers, as it includes chicken quesadillas, fajita steak nachos, and mini chicken chimis. On another visit, I tried the chicken fajitas, and they were quite good as well. The service was great, and the staff was friendly.

The chicken tortilla soup was the highlight of the meal. Although it didn’t look very appealing, the taste was fantastic. I initially felt skeptical about the zucchini in it, but it ended up being a perfect addition. The only downside was the tortilla chips, which could be improved, and the avocado didn’t add much value. As for the appetizer sampler, it was a great choice! The mini chimichangas were excellent, while the tacos could be skipped. The chimichanga was not greasy, and it had a delicious flavor. Our waiter, Shamar, deserves an 8/10. It took him a moment to warm up to us, but he was ultimately very attentive and helpful. Unfortunately, dessert was the low point of the meal. The brownie was extremely disappointing, resembling a frozen, packaged dessert with store-bought ice cream. On the bright side, the restaurant had a daily special, which made our overall bill quite reasonable.

New to baltimore and this location is very quiet. we were the only ones out there. great food. chain quality but its good!

Food was good but server was off his game today because they were short staffed and I wish he would had just taken the time to explain that they were short handed tonight and I would have definitely cut him some slack but by the time I was ready to pay and leave because of the elongated wait it made me not even want to tip him any longer and I was almost tempted to nicely walk out. As far as the manger goes yes I understand that she had no control over whoever she staffed for the shift not showing up but I feel like if she knew people were running behind why not take action to step in as a server for the time being to help your wait staff out and explain to your patrons while they're being seated or coming in the door that the service is going to be a little slower than usual but please be patient with us.. But before I left she assured me that the true of service I had today would but happen the next time and I'm definitely going to take her up on it
