Established 1982
Our Story
It all started with three friends and a few shots of tequila with the idea to share bold, Border-style food with the world. So, in October of 1982, they opened the first On The Border at the corner of Knox and Travis in Dallas, Texas.
On The Border quickly became and remains today the hot spot for great margaritas, fresh-pressed tortillas, tableside guacamole, chips as big as your head, sizzling fajitas, Border-style food and good times. Today, OTB is in 26 states and internationally.
