The staff was very helpful. If they weren’t for sure on something they would find out if it was ok. The food good was good, but was disappointed in this “On the Border” because the chips are fried with the other fryer food.

On the Border had great customer service. We ordered takeout. The food unfortunately was bland and cold. The dessert was questionable. My husband and I ended up having bubble guts during a show.

Their gf menu options seems to be shrinking. I do like their queso and guac, but have to get it to go so I can eat it with my own chips, as their chips are in a shared fryer.

Celiac friendly?

We had a great experience and they were great with my daughters gluten allergy our food was fresh and great our server was a young kid who went for help when we told him about our daughters allergy instead of playing it off like he knew what he was doing ! We will def eat here again. As for the red robin across the way we wont be going to that one be cautious when you go to that red robin !

Food tastes like the old Hungry Man frozen dinners, but not quite as good. When we complained about the food after a few bites the manager "explained" that lots of people like their food and rate it highly. I paid for my niece's soda and we walked out.

I did not end up eating here because the person I spoke with when I called said that most of their meat is either cooked or reheated on the same flat top that is used to make their quesadillas and he had at some point seen people cook gluten in their dedicated gf fryers. He said they could definitely accommodate if I let them know it was severe, but it didn’t seem like a place I would trust not to contaminate.

Had fajitas. They were very good and the had a dedicated menu for celiac. Wait staff was knowledgeable. We brought our own chips for the salsa, which is pretty standard everywhere these days as the frier is shared.

I ate the chips with no reaction and they had many options on the gluten-free menu but I did see that they had a combo on the normal menu. I got the pick 2 flautas with double rice. The chicken tortilla soup is also good without the tortillas.
