The Garden Grill and Bar

Yuck. I should have paid attention to the reviews. The only thing good about this place is a cold bottle of beer and decent server who was busting his butt to serve patrons. The menu has seven entree items total plus a few apps. Salsa = red salt solution with tomato and flavors. I ordered the chicken burrito with cheese sauce, and subbed black beans for refried. The cheese sauce was a congealed mass of yellow goo. And black beans were hot but inedible due to salt. they must have cooked these in a salt brine. In fact, this is the saltiest meal I can remember eating, ever. The food makes the applebees nextdoor look like a Michelin-star restaurant.

Wife and I decided to go to On The Border. Looked on Google Maps and found the closest place. It was located in Aurora at the Hilton Garden Inn. Thought is was strange that it was inside the hotel but not unusual. Clicked on the menu, it showed the full menu options as other OTB restaurants. We arrived, walked in and it was a very small place with a bar and some tables. The server sat us and gave us this one page menu that had very few food selections. When the food came out it was served in a plastic dish and plastic fork and knife, our drinks were also served in a small plastic to go cup. I was in disbelief. Especially since they charged full prices for food at their full service restaurants. It was like ordering off a food truck. Food was not very good. Taste like microwave food. Would not suggest eating at this location.

This Place Was Far Below my expectations especially as a first time customer the service from my server in particular was TRASH she was super inattentive and took a lifetime to bring boxes and collect the tab. The food is the only reason I gave this place 2 stars. The server was so out of it she brought the wrong order. Just didn’t have a CLUE the food was decent. The steak was tender but the rice was over cooked and overall this just isn’t a place I Would Recommend let alone come to again SAVE YOUR MONEY

I had the Brisket tocos with a fried flower tortilla. The food was excellent. Their chips are hand made & the salsa was authentic. I am not from here but if I lived near by I would make this place a regular stop to get my Mexican food fix.
