| - We stopped here for dinner last Friday night; I have to admit I wasn't excited about dining at a chain restaurant next to the I-10, but it was convenient. When we arrived, the parking lot was packed and I wanted to leave, but hubby said, "Let's go inside and see," so we did. Turns out we LOVED the place! The hostess, Sylvia, was so genuinely warm; even though she was busy, she made us feel welcome. We waited only 10 minutes before we were seated inside and then our server, Taylor, came right away to take our drink orders. She was fun and friendly and like Sylvia, made us feel welcome. Next, a young man stopped by with a basket of thin, warm, and very tasty tortilla chips and two bowls of salsa - one for each of us. Wow...I've had to pay for chips that weren't half that good at other Mexican restaurants. And after we plowed through the first basket, he brought more...all delivered with a smile. My husband ordered the stacked nachos and I tried the steak quesadillas. The prices were reasonable, service was fast, food was yummy, and Taylor did a great job of keeping our sodas filled and making sure everything was good at our table. Then T.J., the manager, stopped by to see how we were doing. We were just blown away by the service here, especially since we'd dined at The Thirsty Lion in Tempe the week before and the service was horrible...literally nonexistent. That experience made us very appreciative of the friendly, welcoming atmosphere here. In fact, we had such a great time that we returned the next day for lunch with our son-in-law. I was thinking that maybe things wouldn't be as good the second time around, but I was wrong. This time we sat outdoors on the patio and our server was Shannon - again, so fun and genuinely friendly. Once again, the Chip Guy was great...he just kept the chips and salsa coming and those chips are the best - warm and so crisp. Again, the food was very good (this time, we ordered the Border Sampler, a burrito, enchiladas, and sopapillas for dessert) and we didn't have to wait forever for it to arrive. Plus, they delivered bottomless beans and rice!! Wow...amazing! T.J., the manager, was working again and stopped by to see how everything was...that guy really knows how to take care of his guests. I can't say enough good things about this place; as far as casual dining goes, this On the Border is hard to beat. Great Mexican food, wonderful service, and reasonably priced. We loved T.J., Taylor, Shannon, the Chip Guys, the food runners, and Sylvia the hostess...all wonderful people. Plus TV's in the bar and on the patio made my sports-crazy husband and son-in-law happy. We'll definitely be back.
