Always make a point of coming to Border Grill every time I stay at either Mandalay Bay or Delano. Made a reservation (highly recommended) and was seated on time. The food menu IS NOT your typical Mex or Tex-Mex food faire and the bar offers a next twist of several drinks.

Mercury is definitely in retrograde because I’m surprised how one of my favorite Vegas restaurants has gone way down hill. I used to love coming here with every visit to Las Vegas. No more. It started with my interaction with the hostess who completely ignored us as she was putting food in her mouth and talking to her walk-ie talkie device. Even though we had reservations we were escorted to a tiny corner half booth where neither myself or my mom (who was celebrating a special occasion) would be comfortable. After asking if we could be seated to a table we were escorted to a table. Our server, Katie almost immediately came to take our order as if we were in some type of race to the finish. I’m so disappointed in the service. It felt rushed and felt as if we were an imposition on her. Excited for the lomo saltado as I am from Peru and what came was just tasteless and bland and FULL of oil. We didn’t ask for anything to be taken off the bill and I appreciated that she did take the lomo off the bill but had she checked in on us after we started eating I would have gladly ordered something else but because she didn’t come to the table for a long while I didn’t think it was worth trying something else. No dessert for us this time. The plantain empanadas were delicious though. Not sure I will come back and it’s a shame. I used to love this place.

We filled up on three shared appetizers, one side and two drinks each. My wife loved the plantain empanadas. Four were included in the order. The guacamole starter was terrific. There was no cilantro as we requested. Thank you Mike! The grilled rainbow cauliflower was delicately spiced and delicious. The four fish/shrimp tacos were very good. Unfortunately the cilantro was not deleted so my wife was unable to eat them. We had just enough room left for the coconut flan which was very good and larger than we expected. The sangria and margaritas went down all too easily. Tasty! We appreciated the lack of smoke odor so common in casino restaurants. We highly recommend the Border Grill.

Our table could have been the worst table in the entire restaurant. My seat was literally behind a post and I was sitting next to 3 extra stacked chairs for the other tables and next to the emergency exit door. I felt Ike I was in a storage room. There may have been worse places to sit, but I couldn’t see…. because I was behind a post. Our server was great and the food came out fast.

We ordered the lomo saltado & chicken poblano enchiladas & both were excellent. Great authentic flavors & everything was fresh. The guacamole & Cadillac margaritas were great as well. A little pricey but we’ll definitely be back.

As usual, Border Grille was fantastic. The food is ALWAYS the shining star of the experience, with the service a close second. I sat on the patio this time and it just highlighted the entire experience. Some people might not like having a front and center view of the pool but it wasn't very loud so it worked. Definitely will be back!!

Service was super super slow - had to go hail down my waiter numerous time after waiting 20+ minutes for our next drink in a bottomless environment. They were nice but extremely and frankly unacceptably slow fashion. Not sure if I would come back

Very pleasantly surprised at this place. The bartenders were very courteous. The brunch was amazing! We did the unlimited brunch and mimosas. The small tapas were exactly what we needed. Each dish was wonderful! I am from Texas and we have very good mexican food, but this was more like cuisine. I highly recommend this place. I did request outside, but outside sitting area could be better. not much shade. But the overall experience was great!!

This restaurant is definitely not what it was. The menu is now very pedestrian and the food is only OK. Pork Al Pastor was cubed like hash and over-cooked beyond recognition. A Pitbull concert/pool party going on outside near the pool, provided a steady drum beat that made conversation challenging. The only bright spot was the delicious seafood stew. The meal was not horrible, but it was also not good. Service was fine. I don’t think we will be returning.

Let your server plan your small plate eating. They will bring out several plates at a time and you can reorder anything again. Each plate is special, but compliment each other. Try everything just to see what the menu has to offer and pick your favorites. It’s a great experience for a brunch.
