On The Border — 4855 Belt Line

On the Tex side of the Tex-Mex border, east of Addison Road.

Once upon a long, long time ago this On The Border was on the other side of Belt Line and closer to Midway and if my brain wasn't fried from too much hot sauce I'd guess it was in the building now occupied by Black Finn but I wouldn't bet a chimichanga on it. But I do remember two, large, really cool chandeliers made of empty beer bottles that hung in the bar at the old place. Those two chandeliers immigrated and now reside in the bar of the new location.

On The Border offers typical Tex-Mex fare in a fiesta-colored environment. The food is somewhat unimspired yet good enough to make you go back. La lista de comida es aquí. Pay particular attention to the Create Your Own Combo. Our party of five took advantage of the choices on our last visit. I had the chicken tortilla soup which came with a very small slice of avacado. Good! Everyone else had a house salad. One of the dressings available was jalapeño vinegarette which sounds delicious but no one would give it a try. Neither compliments nor complaints were heard about any of the food. However, a queso dip was ordered to share and share it was with abandon. It should be a must-have on your next visit.

OTB is completely smoke-free inside. Smoking is allowed on the patio which features a unique fountain. A separate to-go counter is located on the opposite corner and has reserved parking spaces. Full bar.
