Mindarie, on the coast of Perth, is where Californian and Mexican flavours meet at On the Border. Famous for its bright and fun vibes the restaurant serves up bold flavours with fresh top quality ingredients. If you’re looking for burritos and best burgers then On the Border is the spot for you.
Signature Burritos: A Feast
On The Border burritos are not just something to consume, but an experience. One of the favourites is the Cali Burrito, which features marinated steak, fries, cheese, Pico de Gallo, guacamole, jalapeños, sautéed peppers, onions, and OTB aioli. Crispy fries within the burrito provide crunch, and texture to each bite. For vegetarians, a good option is the Roasted Sweet Potato, Cauliflower, and Mexi Beans Burrito. The sweetness of the roasted sweet potato complements the rich Mexi beans to create a rich meat-free dish. Combining Chilli Con Queso with your meal provides you with a rich, cheesy dip that complements the flavour profile. The other option is the Pico de Gallo, a clean, fresh salsa, which gives a real zing that only serves to complement these massive burrito flavours so beautifully. The creamy cheese in the dip balances the spiciness of the jalapeños in the Cali Burrito, and the salsa gives a cooling crunch. The perfect accompaniment to a burrito is the Vegetarian Taco, made of sweet potato, feta, chickpeas, and roasted capsicum puree. The combination is a lighter, crisper substitute for the filling and chunky burrito, with different textures for an energetic and filling meal.
Burgers That Pack a Punch
On The Border’s burgers are on point. One of the standouts is the Crispy Fried Buttermilk Chicken Burger, with a crispy buttermilk chicken fillet on top, along with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion, and OTB aioli. It comes with seasoned fries, with the crunch and juicy flavours all combined in one bite. For beef lovers, the OTB Cheeseburger is the choice. It is made in-house and consists of a signature cheeseburger patty with a Mexican flair, offering rich flavour with a twist. Melted cheese, fresh ingredients, and a soft bun create a filling meal. Pairing a burger with Birria Tacos is a satisfying, filling meal. The slow-cooked, intense flavour of the tacos complements the juiciness of the burger, creating a satisfying combination. To add some variety, pair the cheeseburger with Ceviche, this contains tequila and lime-cured salmon. The light, citrus flavour is a nice contrast to the richness of the burger, balancing the meal.
Other Must-Try Dishes
While burritos and burgers are the main menu items On The Border also has a variety of dishes that combine Mexican and California flavours. The Alambres de Carne, a Mexican Beef Skewer, is a standout with Mexican beef, chorizo, capsicum, onion and corn on skewers. Served with Mexican rice, chimichurri salsa, and tortillas you can make your own tacos with tender, seasoned beef. For slow-cooked meals, the Pork Belly is a good choice. With roasted sweet potato, cauliflower and Mexi beans it’s rich and hearty. The smokiness of the pork belly pairs well with the Pico de Gallo Salsa, a refreshing contrast to the meat.
Sweet Endings and More
No dinner is complete without dessert, and On The Border offers a selection of house-made desserts to satisfy your sweet tooth. The Margarita Cheesecake, finished with berry compote, is a decadent and tangy way to end your meal. Chocolate fans will adore the Gluten-Free Choccy Brownie with vanilla bean ice cream. For a special experience, you may bring home an OTB Birthday Sombrero. It is a great, lasting memento of your trip.
Why On The Border’s Burritos and Burgers Stand Out

Generous serve sizes mean every meal is filling whether you’re after a classic burger, crispy chicken burger or loaded burrito. Pair a burrito with something like Ceviche and it takes it to the next level. The lime-cured salmon adds a bright citrusy contrast to the burrito. Chilli Con Queso on a burger adds creamy cheesy fun to every bite. The menu makes it easy to mix and match different dishes to suit your taste. The atmosphere at On The Border adds to the experience. Lively music, warm service and a fun environment make it more than just a meal – it’s a reason to come back. Whether you prefer the traditional or desire the fusion choices, the blend of new and old Mexican influences has something for everyone.
