On The Border Closes 60 Locations After Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina has closed all of its company-owned restaurants across the U.S., totaling 60 locations as of June 12, 2026. The chain had previously filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March 2025. After being acquired by Pappas Restaurants in May 2025, some locations had reopened but ultimately led to this decision. The closures affect cities such as Oklahoma City, Grand Rapids, and Wichita Falls, while franchise locations will remain operational.
