I'm staying in the lovely and cheap Microtel Inn on I-85 near Greenville, South Carolina for two days this week as I complete a couple of jobs in the area. The Microtel has some good wifi, yay! There is an On The Border Mexican Restaurant almost next door, so that's where I went for lunch. Reedplayernc and I love these places and hope they open one near where we live, soon. The food they serve is of the style "Tex-Mex", which is more or less "Amercianized", or "gringo-ized", Mexican food. People often complain that it's not authentic, but we love it! "On The Border" reminds me of the old Chi-Chi's restaurant chain that was popular during the 1980's. It just ain't a real meal if it doesn't come with chips and salsa first.

Image #1: The entrance. The entire building is gawdy and fun, inside and out.
Image #2: The food server suggested the current special, the $8.99 "endless enchiladas." You can have as many as you can eat. They come in beef, chicken, or cheese and onion.
Image #3: My "endless enchiladas" arrive looking like the picture in the menu. I had one chicken and one cheese and onion enchilada….two times! I'm back in the hotel now feeling bloated. They were really good.
Fuenteovejuna did it 
Endless enchiladas….Sounds like fun!I like black bean enchiladas, they are delicious!
On The Border is right down the street from our house! I always stuff mysellf with the chips and salsa so I can't eat my meal when it arrives. When am I gonna learn?
That place looks good from the outside.I must try these enchiladas, are they like durum?
