January 21, 2008
In our attempt to help our readers find places to eat here come the restaurant reviews. It’s a little incomplete, but we’ll get better as we go along.
On the Border Mexican Grill & Cantina has come to South Korea. It’s located in Seoul in Sinchon. On the Border has a wide selection of fajitas and margaritas for your appetite. It has an family restaurant feel and it is neat that the Korean staff is well versed in English. They also try to implement some Spanish. It’s nice to have another Mexican restaurant in Seoul.

On the Border restaurant in Sinchon was the best Mexican food I’ve had anywhere in Korea. Really, it was the best food I’ve had period. I am from Texas, and the food at On the Border in Sinchon tasted EXACTLY as it does back in Texas. Also, the staff were outstanding, the atmosphere was perfect, and the drinks were very well made. All of this makes On the Border in Sinchon and excellent place to eat.
The re-fried beans tasted processed. Worst I’ve ever had. The guacamole was flavorless. The chicken tasted like it was that thawed pre-cooked frozen.crap. There is nothing authentic tasting about On the Border. If someone thinks that this is what Mexican food is supposed to taste like, then they must rarely venture far from the lackluster cuisine of the family chain restaurant. On the Border is no different than its mediocre compadres, Bennigans and T.G.I.Fridays.
I’m Mexican and definitely is just a cheap copy that what should be the real one.Avocados from South Africa or Chile, chili from local market and of course cuervo tequila. If you have good imagination and you never tried the real thing, this restaurant if for you.
Es una simple copia del verdadero restaurant mexicano. Los ingredientes no son importados del pais, los aguacates horribles, sin sabor y ya pasados. Claro que el que no sabe cree que asi debe ser. Una copia barata para los gringos o coreanos que tiene ilusion de conocer lo verdadero.
