I have never been to "On The Border". They did open one up in the next city over a few months ago but haven't been there yet. There are several family-owned tex-mex places closer so that is where we go to eat. Most of the places we eat at are locally owned. Though my parents are taking me out to Johnny Carrino's next week for my birthday.

Two of my favorites are:
Katz-N Jammers - 50's era diner with a good vegetarian omelette.
Green House Cafe - California style pastas and sandwiches.
Whole Wheatery - Organic Foods and Bakery.
Lemon Tree Cafe - Light fare, organic menu
Mahli's - Indian Cuisine
Mythos - Greek Cuisine
Great Wall - Chinese Cuisine

Are you in San Diego?

We had a Johnny Carrino's in Jax, Fl when I lived there and it was truly amazing food. Much better than Olive Garden, IMO. Their marinara is kind of zesty and spicy, so it has a good kick to it. I haven't eaten there in years though and now I'm craving it, thanks to you.

My husband recently found a little locally owned texmex place down by the base where he works. He said the prices were INSANELY low (like $3 for a burrito the size of your arm ) and it was some of the best mexican food he's ever eaten. So, we're planning to try that together on one of his days off.

About the time I finally find some decent places around here, we'll be moving to New Orleans and I'll have to start all over. I'm really hoping I can find a cracker barrel down there though.
