    I recently visited and had a mixed experience. The **food was outstanding**—the spicy shrimp was packed with flavor, and the guacamole was fresh and creamy, a perfect complement. It’s clear the kitchen knows how to deliver on taste. However, the **service was inconsistent**. Since we arrived shortly after opening, staff were still setting up, which made the atmosphere feel a bit chaotic. The host, dressed in a suit, seemed distracted and perhaps slightly irritated, which didn’t create the most welcoming first impression. Our **server was helpful and attentive**, but unfortunately, the pacing felt rushed. While she ensured we had everything we needed, she brought the pay machine over while I was still eating—despite saying “take your time,” it would have been better to wait before nudging us toward the bill. Overall, the food makes it worth a visit, but the service could use some refinement. A little more attentiveness and a calmer approach would elevate the dining experience.

    Border Grill is always wonderful - and during Restaurant Week here in Las Vegas it's even better: less expensive with interesting meal choice. The servers were wonderful - attentive and friendly without being intrusive. Food is always great - the short rib enchiladas and carnita tacos were excellent. And we finished off with excellent Tres Leches cake.

    The food was amazing! Excellent recommendations from the waiter. Great margaritas! A bit loud on the outdoor patio as the sound echoes but everything else was so good I would go back again for sure if I lived in Vegas!

    We had brunch at the Border Grill. The small plates are great for sharing and everything was delicious. We particularly enjoyed the birria hash and the spicy tamales.

    My wife and dined at Border Grill in the early evening on June 6th. The atmosphere was lively and on the loud side which isn't unusual for Las Vegas. The margaritas we ordered were not well prepared nor were they served in appropriate margarita glasses (more like water glasses). Just kind of "bleh". The entrees were overcooked and not particularly flavorful. The enchiladas had the texture and consistency of frozen taquitos. The meat on the soft tacos was well done/border line burnt. The only saving grace was the location (convenient if you're staying at Mandalay Bay) and reasonably prompt and courteous service. Perhaps they are catering to a broader based palate not used to Mexican cuisine, but they could do a lot better than what we experienced. Not intending to return any time soon.

    Great food. The grilled chicken with chimichuri (spelling?) seasoning was so moist and tender and the best grilled chicken I’ve ever had. All the food was fresh and sustainable and felt and tasted very authentic.

    Yikes - what a let down. We thought we were in for a treat with some great Mexican food only to have our hopes crushed by poor service, raw steak, dry pork and the worst guac we’ve ever experienced. Set expectations accordingly - dinner for two with a cocktail will be $150. Too many options available for this price point.
