Reston’s On the Border Mexican Grill and Cantina's cheerful décor will send you on a virtual visit to Mexico and all places Latino. And when you see large tour buses parked out front, you understand how appealing the restaurant’s lengthy menu is. Once seated, patrons are offered a bowl of crisp-fried tortillas with individual containers of salsa, and the chance to order beverages, from water to margaritas (how about sips of Barrel-Aged beers, cocktails, and wines.
On the Border specials include Sunday, Fiesta Trio; Monday, Endless Enchiladas; Tuesday, Taco Fix; and Wednesday, Fajita Fest
As per The Connection Newspapers, "On to the main course: with so many choices, the question is, where to begin? Quesadillas come in two choices—fajita with chicken or steak or brisket. Fajita choices range from grilled chicken, steak, shrimp, or portobello mushrooms to specialties that include Monterey Ranch chicken; Border Smart chicken that comes with black beans and more but no melted cheese; and then the grand slam, the Grande Fajita Trio packed with grilled steak, chicken, and shrimp."
According to The Connection Newspapers, "The menu also includes burritos, chimichangas, and enchiladas plus an array of tacos that include Dos XX fish. But if patrons are looking for the savory fare but lighter in calories, the kitchen offers two salad bowls, chicken tortilla soup, and a selection of dishes called Border Bowls. An outstanding and rather filling salad is the Grande Taco Salad that comes with cooked ground beef or chicken tinga on a bed of shredded lettuce, cabbage, mixed cheese, and guacamole topped with flour tortilla chips and a choice of dressings."
