Bold Tex Mex Appetizers

On the Border Just Debuted a New Shareable Border Bites Menu

— August 23, 2019 — Lifestyle
On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina is ushering in the fall season with a brand-new Border Bites Menu. Bursting with bold, Tex Mex flavors, the new lineup is perfect for sharing.

On The Border's new Border Bites Menu consists of six appetizers that are bite-sized so they can easily be shared. Standouts from the new menu include the Puffed Gorditas, which are topped with the chain’s signature queso, the Street-Style Corn finished with a lime-cilantro chimichurri and lime crema, and the Avocado Fries, which are served with a side of red chile sauce for dipping.

With a growing number of consumers looking for smaller, sharable plates, the new Border Bites Menu caters to social diners.
