A beloved American institution is getting a blast from the past. The mention of giant sombreros brings back memories of a time when birthday celebrations were a little more fun and a little more festive. The On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina chain, once a staple in many communities, is now a shadow of its former self. As the restaurant industry continues to evolve and adapt to changing consumer habits, fans of the chain are reminiscing about the good old days - and the iconic sombrero birthday tradition that made it so special.
Although perhaps even more than the cuisine, patrons of this formerly abundant chain likely remember the birthdays: Celebrants were gifted a giant sombrero.
