“This collaboration brings excitement to both On The Border, known for our award-winning margaritas, and Flecha Azul Tequila with Mark and their team being truly genuine and engaged in the launch,” says Tim Ward, CEO at On The Border. “Flecha Azul Tequila is one of the best tequilas on the market today, and we’re extremely proud to offer it to our guests.”
Just in time for Cinco de Mayo, Friday, May 5, Wahlberg will be hosting a virtual live toast for fans and friends of On The Border throughout the world to celebrate.
“Not only is this partnership special for our guests, but it also builds on recent brand momentum around menu innovation, new rewards program, and franchise growth,” says Suzie Tsai, vice president of marketing at On The Border.
Flecha Azul Tequila was founded by first-generation Mexican-American professional golfer Abraham Ancer and Mexican-born entrepreneur Aron Marquez to create an elegant brand that honored their Mexican heritage and tasted like tequilas back in Mexico. In 2022, fueled by his belief in the co-founders and the quality craftsmanship behind the product, Wahlberg joined as a principal investor, actively supporting the brand's growth.
“Working with On The Border is a big move for us, because this is the first full-service, on-premise national restaurant to bring in Flecha Azul Tequila,” says Marquez.
