    We had reservations at 12:45pm for 6 people, was not seated until at least 30 minutes later. Most likely longer. We did the the all you can eat Border Brunch and it was not worth $45 pp. It took a long time for our food to come out. On top of that it was very unorganized. When we asked about the food, the server told us that there was a glitch in the system, and to compensate they sent out a lot carb heavy dishes that we did not order. Then got only one or two of the protein dishes. It was not an enjoyable time. Luckily the food quality did taste good. The staff was fairly friendly, except our server was a little dismissive when we expressed concerns. I have been there 3 other times and have not had this issue. They also changed their menu, seems like there are less protein dishes. I will probably try them out again, but would try to avoid peak hours.

    Good always good. Value for price of guacamole a bit disappointing. Very tasty but essentially a large ice cream scoop size portion for $14. Otherwise all good.

    Beware, they will ask if you want chips and salsa, set several baskets at your table and then charge you $5 per basket! We did not need three baskets, but weren’t given a choice, and assumed they were complimentary as with most Mexican restaurants. Yes, they were good and we would have paid for two baskets but it would have been nice to tell us they cost and to ask how many we wanted. Felt deceptive. Our server was very inattentive, we sat for 40 minutes waiting for the check. He never checked on us once we got our food. Food was good, but overpriced for serving sizes, but it is Vegas and in Mandalay Bay so to be expected. Not easy to find also, so allow extra time and ask for directions in the casino. They were out of the short rib enchiladas that I was set on ordering, which was a disappointment. The steak Caesar salad I ordered instead was good and the steak was cooked perfectly. The al pastor tacos were very good also. The steak quesadilla was a bit bland.

    Chips were overly salted, chicken tortilla soup was also a salt lick. Tacos al pastor was a gigantic pool of oil with some meat. This place is trash.

    This is the 5th time within 3 weeks I’ve eaten here. The hostess stand needs mounds of improvement. Unfortunately the system they use is cumbersome, inefficient, & frustrating. You have to wait 30 minutes in a reservation line in order to get a table you’d reserved a half hour ago, it is odd when first opening at 11 am that you have to wait 15 minutes in a reservation line. It is odd, seeing the extremely long lines and tons of empty table and this is throughout the day into evening. The hostesses are frustrated answering questions, will only allow you to speak to them in front of the stand in between a rope that allows 1 foot standing room. People were tripping and handicapped unable to be seen or fit through. Although I arrived before opening with a reservation, another lady was behind me we were sent to the bar area to stand, and weren’t allowed to sit at the open bar, but had to wait to watch 3 other parties be seated, one at the bar, one at the bar tops, and one inside the restaurant. We watched them all be served first and were forced to wait. The second round of drinks took 30 minutes. The kitchen is fast even though the waiters tell you it will be 20-25 minutes for food on the weekends. The food is edible art, worth the wait and the harassment from the hostesses. The managers are on overdrive working fast and hard to make up for the wait staff and complaints. They are kind and open to listening. The brunch menu is so worth it. It is fun, surprising, flavorful and something you don’t see during the week. I could eat here every day, but don’t be hungry bc to get a table even with a reservation is a wait, the bus boys greet you before a waiter does, the waiters are so painfully slow, your food comes out before your drinks do, so the best bet is elbow your way to a space at one of the bars. The bartenders take & enter your order, make your delicious cocktails right then, then swoop in with silverware. Indulge in the Border coffee too….divine.

    The brunch experience was unique. I enjoyed tasting the different tapas especially the Birria Hash & Egg and the Barbacoa Benedict. I was also able to customize them to my liking. Our server was very friendly, but it did take some time to get each set. The bottomless mimosas were actually wine based and included small mixers of juice. Overall, the food and service were good but it seems to be a one time experience.

    We were a party of 5 and it was busy. The server insisted we do family style instead of the usual individual small plates. We didn’t really get the experience we wanted. I wouldn’t go back based on that experience.

    Brunch at Border Grill is a delicious experience. The small plates are creative, tasty, and perfectly sized for tasting multiple entrees. We loved the breakfast tacos and Benedict. The meats incorporated in dishes were wonderful. Our server was clearly experienced in managing brunch customers—she accommodated the member of our party who didn’t eat meat; and she made a point of making the meal an extended gathering—we never felt rushed. We love Border Grill!

    I've been to this restaurant many times before and have really enjoyed it. Last night, not so much. I will say the food and service were good, but not great. However, the drinks were absolute crap {sorry}. The margaritas were equivalent to watered down juice, I truly don't believe there was actually any tequila in them at all and neither did the others in our group. I would not recommend ordering drinks here unless you're sitting at the bar where you can watch them being made.

    Our server was Ashley- she was great. Very kind and friendly, yet professional. Our food tasted delicious, however, portions were small. Chicken tortilla soup and the seafood enchiladas were amazing! We came with kids but kids menus were not offered, we had to ask for them. Make reservations as the place was full on a Monday night.

    I'll leave this short and list what is wrong: We made a reservation but still waited in line with those who did not. Drinks are way overpriced and small Food is not even close to authentic Mexican food does not come with salad greens and salad, meals should include rice, beans and corn tortillas not flour The chefs you gloat about are obviously not Mexican Bathrooms are far away Food portions are small and WAY overpriced Chips and salsa cost extra and had no flavor, pushed guac which was an extra $15 The menu needs more seafood and meat options, many popular dishes were missing. My wife is from Mexico so we always look for a nice, near authentic restaurant. Please do not market this as even Mexican. Really none of the food on the menu was traditional and anyone expecting that will be very disappointed. If not for my food credit with my offer I would have walked out after seeing the menu and prices. Jim

    I have been here in the past and loved the food. Everything was good, tasty, different, and beautifully presented. This time, not so much. It was just average. The good was not anything special. It wasn't as tasty as expected - except for the desserts. I really would hesitate to return.
