Better Together
Our Teams at the restaurant and beyond work day in and day out to make the food, atmosphere, and service remarkable for every Guest.
Always Generous
We’re generous not just with our big ol’ portions, but also with our attitude! Whatever a Guest needs, we’re on it.
Up for Fun
Lively music, shaken margaritas, and sizzling fajitas bring our vibrant atmosphere to life in restaurant, on the patio, or at the bar.
The First OTB Location Opens!
A little bit of tequila inspired three friends to open On The Border's first location off Knox & Travis Street in Dallas, TX. Originally known as On The Border South Texas Café, it made a name for itself with its sizzling fajitas, strong margaritas, and lively patio scene.
On The Border Goes International
In 2007, On The Border opens its first international location bringing its authentic Border-Style Mex to Seoul, Korea.
The Growth Continues
On The Border continues to expand its footprint across the continental United States and Korea with over 136 On The Border locations across the globe.
Our History
On the border of Texas and Mexico, between the Rio Grande and Nueces Rivers, rests 20 million acres of drylands where mesquite trees once grew in abundance. This mesquite flavor is infused in everything we fire up here at On The Border and has been part of our DNA since 1982.
To this day, we’ve stuck to the tradition of bringing Border-Style Mex to cities across America and beyond and we invite you to share in this history on your next visit!
