A popular Tex-Mex restaurant chain based in Texas intends to expand nationally by establishing a presence in Kentucky.

On the Border, which already has over 120 global locations, is actively seeking a suitable location in Lexington to initiate its expansion into the state. The company’s intention is to begin with a minimum of three restaurants across Kentucky, with plans for further expansion.

On the Border is actively seeking a franchise partner to spearhead the opening of at least three restaurants in Kentucky, with one in Lexington. This Tex-Mex chain is renowned for its distinctive queso, refreshing margaritas, mesquite-smoked fajitas, and an array of other Tex-Mex offerings.

Currently, the chain is also expanding internationally, with recent restaurant openings in Asia, particularly in South Korea, where it is perceived as a premium brand. Additionally, On the Border is striving to establish a presence in India and other international markets.

The brand’s timeline for opening a new On the Border restaurant, once a franchise partner and suitable location are secured, typically spans approximately 12 months.

Among the signature offerings loved by patrons are the cheese dip, fajitas prepared with mesquite wood, and, of course, the ice-cold margaritas. Additionally, On the Border is renowned for pioneering table-side guacamole preparation. Moreover, the brand excels in catering services and is a top choice for off-premise dining.
