BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA — On the Border Mexican Grill & Cantina is closing all of its locations across the country, including its last remaining restaurant in Pennsylvania.
The Tex-Mex casual dining chain has been a staple throughout Pennsylvania and the United States for decades, but had fallen on hard times.
The last one in the state operated for years just in front of the Neshaminy Mall off Route 1 in Bensalem Township.
Its parent company, Pappas Restaurants, announced the closures of its remaining locations. The closures mark an end to a 44-year history for the Mexican chain.
On the Border once operated over 150 U.S. locations and several in South Korea. But many sites were closed following the company’s filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March 2025 due to declining customer traffic, rising labor costs, and inflation.
The company had already closed 77 underperforming locations across 24 states, including Arizona, Texas, Florida, New York, and Pennsylvania.
Its remaining 60 locations were still operating under the bankruptcy filing.
On the Border employed about 2,800 workers.
