Food: On the Border - a generic Tex-Mex joint

Along with the rest of my family, I finally hopped into On The Border, a Tex-Mex chain restaurant that positively screams "corporate" (watch out, that website has Flash). I had seen the Gainesville location many times driving up and down Archer, but never ventured inside, which was probably for the better.

Aping Chili's in many ways, the food was a bit more expensive but seemingly the same quality as that ubiquitous chain. My margarita chicken was a dead ringer for the Chili's version; my parent's beef tacos were competent but uninspiring, and my sister's enchiladas were possessed of a texture that could best be described as "nebulous." The service was very good (but I believe that's more a function of how good your server is and how busy the restaurant is than anything else). I think I'll stick with Las Margaritas for my gringo-style Mexican in the future, thank you very much.
