Which Tex-Mex restaurant chain was founded in 1982 in Dallas, Texas?

On the Border was founded in 1982 in Dallas, Texas.

On the Border Mexican Grill & Cantina is an American restaurant chain specializing in Tex-Mex food. Its menu has included items such as enchiladas, fajitas, tacos, quesadillas, and margaritas, combining Mexican-inspired dishes with American restaurant conventions.

The chain began in Dallas in 1982 and expanded through franchised and company-operated locations. Its name reflects the restaurant’s positioning around the cultural and culinary border between the United States and Mexico.

On the Border is distinct from Chili’s, another American chain that serves Tex-Mex-style food. Taco Cabana is also a Texas-founded Mexican restaurant chain, but it began in San Antonio in 1978, not Dallas in 1982.
