| - We (my son and I) had never been here (in Las Vegas). It would turn out to be the ABSOLUTE BEST PLACE we could have been. This may be one of the longest reviews you have ever read, but I think it is worth it for this very special On the Border restaurant.
I believe that sometimes Las Vegas gets a bad reputation, but I think that is only because there are a lot of people who have yet to meet the REAL ANGELS who live among us here in Las Vegas. My son and I have met many wonderful, caring and friendly people but today would be a Very Special Day for us (even though it did not seem like it could be with the way things had been going).
You see, today we met One of those Very Special ANGELS here at On the Border!!!
PIt seemed like things were not not going well despite our attempts to change that since we had started our early day. My son wanted to throw in the towel (as the saying goes) but I, of course, refused. He agreed to at least go have some chips and salsa and maybe share a tea. We didn't have any money, just what was left on a one year old gift card.
We were seated right away with our menus and then a very nice young man appeared with delicious chips and savory salsa and asked what we would like to drink. As embarrassing as it was, I explained to the young man that my son was having a bad day and was hungry but that I only had a very limited amount on a gift card and asked what my son could get for that amount.
At first the young man gave us a couple of ideas and then asked if my son would prefer chicken or shredded beef tacos. I asked for just one taco and my son's drink which, with 0tax, would max out the gift card. The young man took the order and said he would get the order right out. Then a female waitress came to our table, introduced herself and said she would be our waitress. I thanked her for letting us know and informed her that the young man had already taken our order.
The next thing I knew, both my son and I had a beautiful plate each of two shredded beef tacos with rice and beans in front us! This young man was really not our waiter (he, I believe worked in a different area in the restaurant). He told us to please enjoy the meal and not worry about anything, that he had taken care of everything and if we needed anything to just ask him. Both my son and I were in shock and very touched by this young man, this ANGEL!
The food was very good and all the staff were very nice, but this young Angel was special and I only saw him once more before we left, and that was to give him the gift card, thank him emphatically for his huge heart and generosity and told him my son and I would be back to pay him back. He just replied, with a very nice smile, "Don't you worry about a thing. It was a pleasure to meet you both and I will be here whenever you need me."
I want to applaud On the Border for hiring all the wonderful staff they have there, the wonderful food they prepare and especially for having Angels in the business who provide a source of light and Good Will to others!!!!
My son and I will be back. Thank you again, our wonderful Angel!!!
