Popular Tex-Mex chain abruptly shutters remaining restaurants across America amid industry struggles

After more than four decades of serving fajitas, queso and margaritas, On the Border Mexican Grill & Cantina has said, "adios."

The Dallas-founded Tex-Mex chain is closing all remaining company-owned restaurants nationwide, after years of declining traffic, rising costs and a 2025 bankruptcy filing, the company said. 

The move follows the chain's Chapter 11 restructuring in 2025 and subsequent acquisition by Houston-based Pappas Restaurants.
