On the Border Mexican Grill & Cantina

On the Border, also known as On the Border Mexican Grill & Cantina, is a restaurant chain that specializes in Mexican grill and cantina style cuisine. The company is headquartered in the United States of America. Its core offering consists of menu items such as tacos, enchiladas, fajitas, and margaritas served in a casual dining setting. The brand operates under the aliases listed, reflecting its positioning as a Mexican-themed dining concept. Customers visit its locations for dine-in experiences that emphasize made-to-order Mexican dishes.

In April 2019, the chain disclosed a payment system breach that affected customer data collected during in‑restaurant visits. The malware harvested names, credit card numbers, expiration dates, and verification codes from transactions at locations spanning 28 states. The compromise was confined to point‑of‑sale systems used for dine-in sales, excluding delivery and catering channels. Upon discovery, the company reported unauthorized access to its payment processing infrastructure and began cooperating with law enforcement. The incident highlighted the extent of the chain’s geographic footprint, as the affected locations illustrated a presence across a broad portion of the United States.
