On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina will cease operations at all company-owned locations by Friday, June 12, 2026. This significant transition comes after the chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March 2025 and was acquired by Pappas Restaurants two months later. The restaurant chain, known for its Tex-Mex cuisine, has been systematically reducing its footprint since the acquisition.
While company-owned restaurants are closing, OTB Hospitality confirmed that independently-operated franchise locations will remain open. These include restaurants in South Dakota, Florida, Nevada, California, and even international locations in South Korea. This news has come as a shock to both employees and loyal customers who have frequented the establishments for years.
