This was the last On The Border in Johnson County

  • On The Border also previously had locations in Leawood and Olathe, but those have closed as well.
  • The eatery was known for classic Tex-Mex dishes like fajitas, birria tacos, chimichangas and quesadillas.
  • On The Border also served craft cocktails like sangria “swirls” and frozen margaritas.

The Oak Park Mall area is seeing a lot of activity

  • On The Border’s closure comes on the heels of the announcements of several openings on the busy corner surrounding the Overland Park mall.
  • Bakery and cafe Paris Baguette and breakfast eatery IHOP are preparing to open soon, to the north of the mall.
  • Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream has also filed plans to open a new store nearby, which will be its first Johnson County location.
