On the Border

Before our review of the place I just wanted to say thanks to Jack Dempsey at www.DempseyVFX.com for joining me every Monday to find the best Mexican restaurant in the area!

On the Border is perched up on a hill right in the heart of the Mexican district of Novi across from Taco Bell.

It’s got a bit of a Mexican theme, pretty busy more than half the tables are filled for lunch. They got some nice NEC TV’s in the bar area with a really thin bezel on them which gave them a great look. It looks like they had a few tables outside to sit at when it’s warm out.

Got sat, ordered some drinks and got some hot chips and these are like the big wafer chips. Tasted good and brought out more chips and salsa without asking pretty much.

They got a choose 2 for lunch so I usually get a hard shell beef taco and chicken enchilada. Recently I tried the beef enchilada and I liked it just as much as the Chicken one. They have good size portions and the food came out quick, even when they were busy.

Mexican Monday came twice one week and we chose to spend it at On the Border again because of Cinco De Mayo. We found out they had a party tent set up in the parking lot and had the Killer Flamingo’s playing all evening until 2am. So we went back again after work and had a couple of over priced cervezas for a drinking holiday that know one really knows what it’s for. There were a few people there that were havin’ some fun for sure. We didn’t stay too late, but I can imagine how sloshed some people got.

Anyways the place seems to have quite a bit going for it even though it’s a chain. It looks like they know what they’re doing.

You can take our word for it or try ‘em out for your self, either way, happy Mexican Monday!
