On the Border Mexican Grill & Cantina is closing all of its locations across the country, including its last remaining restaurant in Bensalem Township, company officials announced this past week.
Pappas Restaurants, announced the closures of its remaining locations marking the end to a 44-year history for the Mexican chain nationally.
The Tex-Mex casual dining chain has been a staple throughout the Commonwealth and nationally for decades, but has faced significant financial challenges recently, officials said.
The last one in the state operated for years just in front of the Neshaminy Mall off Route 1. That location will become a prime piece of commercial realty in the months to come once the new owners (Paramount Realty) of the mall announce plans for what will happen next at the site.

The company said it recently closed 77 locations across 24 states, (Arizona, Texas, Florida, New York, and Pennsylvania) due to lack of performance.
According to the company website, 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.
Its remaining 60 locations were still operating under the bankruptcy filing.
The company once employed 2800 restaurant workers who will now need to look for work during a time of financial stress nationwide.
