The chain’s second location in the area, the restaurant will feature 3879 square feet of dining and bar space seating up to 248 guests, along with a 493 square foot patio. The Towson location is a new prototype for the brand, featuring an open kitchen with a mesquite wood-burning grill, bright colors, rustic finishes and unique art and décor. The bar area will incorporate On The Border’s signature beer-bottle chandeliers, which have become a well-known feature and conversation piece at all On The Border restaurants. The unit will also offer a large cantina with a broad selection of fine tequilas, draft beers and multiple flat screens for sports viewing. The outdoor patio area seats approximately 30 guests. On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina offers an extensive menu of classic and contemporary Mexican food, like sizzling mesquite-grilled fajitas, and big and bold Margaritas.
