Restauratour: Photographic Tour of On The Border

Scroll down for a photo tour of On The Border.

By Lisa Bertagnoli, Contributing Editor -- Chain Leader, 1/1/2005

1. Stone and stucco details tie together the interior and exterior.

Bright blue, a hue found in every room, carries over from On The Border’s previous prototype.

2. Booth and table seating make the bar part of the restaurant, not just a waiting room.

3. A vaulted ceiling, wrought-iron balcony, yellow-framed window and a stone wall decorate the courtyard, or center room.

4. The vast space is divided into three rooms, visible to each other via doorways, archways and windows.
5. Photos and authentic Mexican artwork decorate the bright walls of the spacious “family room.”

6. To make the design authentic, On The Border researched the use of stone and colors in Mexican haciendas.

7. The stucco, stone and cedar combines with the bright colors to create a warm and comfortable atmosphere, qualities the previous redesign lacked.

8. A versatile star, the Fajita Grill gets fajitas to customers hotter, fresher and faster.
