I don't normally find outstanding food in chain restaurants, but "On The Border" is one exception. My two tacos were great....and huge. The shells were thick and crisp. The meat had a mild spicy flavor to it....and withstood the drip test amazingly well. I held the taco at an angle to see how much grease and water would drip out; barely a drop!

Just one negative: You'd think salsa in San Antonio would be spicy, this was not. Likely because it is a chain and everything must be palatable even to their customers in New York.

The service was just as good as the food. The wait-staff (Tanya?) was attentive and friendly.

T
he price was a bit steep, but the wait person told us the tacos were only a dollar at the bar after 5:00....that's a deal!

I would definitely go back....too bad there's not one in Austin!
