On The Border?s festive atmosphere and top-notch margarita selection make it the perfect place in Chicago for a fun night out with friends or a relaxed meal with the family. The food, ranging from traditional Mexican favorites to more inventive and lighter fare, is always fresh and affordable. The Create Your Own Combo is a budget-friendly highlight ? you can mix and match two of your classic favorites, served with rice and beans, for under seven bucks. It?s available lunch and dinner every single day. And their famous freshly-made, bottomless chips and salsa are always on the house. The servers are laid-back and friendly, just like the atmosphere. Their famous patio is always rockin? when the weather?s nice, and indoors, you?ll be treated to an eclectic mix of modern accents and lively music. A night at On The Border is always a casual, fun-filled affair with a kick of Mexican flavor.
This place is one of my favorites, the food is always good, the staff is friendly and Thursday nights with live music tops it off. I hope they bring back the live music soon!

Usually I can judge a good Mexican restaurant from their pico de gallo and OTB did not disappoint. Through my travels in the southwest I sampled every bit of southwestern/mexican food I could find and was shocked to discover the tastiest of all was at On The Border in the airport on my way home. Recommended.

Ive been to this restaurant at least two dozen times and I have never been disappointed. If you have ever been to other Mexican restaurant chains around the county, this should be what you are accustomed to. I would consider the food here to be Americanized Mexican food, if you are looking for authentic Mexican food, this is not that place. The menu is extensive offering steak, chicken, and seafood. There are many types of fajitas and burritos to order, as well as other offerings. I would recommend the queso sauce for an appetizer if you like cheese dip. They offer margaritas, beers, wines and soft drinks.
Pros: Great Food, Great Service, Nice Selection
Cons: Not romantic, need more room on table for all the food

Are you kidding that On The Border is rated the top Mexican restaurant in Charlotte??? Anyone who agrees with this needs to get out and eat at a REAL Mexican restaurant. On The Border is the most Americanized Mexican food I've had, it's not that great and it's over priced.
Cons: Not Real Mexican
