Border Grill

The Best Restaurants At LAX

"The number of LAX food spots based on restaurants from the '90s and 2000s should tell you how long since the dining program here was overhauled. We’re not mad that Border Grill has stuck around, though. This airport location of a long-running Mexican spot has solid steak quesadillas, nachos, and a roomy bar where you order a margarita or two before going wheels up." - brant cox, sylvio martins

"Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken opened an outpost of their modern Mexican eatery in LAX in 2013. On the menu at the relaxed cantina are a selection of quesadillas, tacos and burritos, as well as taquitos, tamales and chile rellenos." - Michelin Guide Digital-Hong Kong Macau

Had a good experience here at Border Grill. The Chili Relleno burger sounded good but I really just wanted the burger patty and ordered two. They were the best two burger patties I’ve had that I didn’t cook myself. Cooked just right, juicy and perfect amount of salt. I went back and ordered two more to take on my long (14 hour) flight.

Stopped by Border Grill in LAX before our extra long flight. We were greeted with a warm and friendly smile by Angelina. Angelina provides excellent and professional customer service. The carne asada nachos are pure fire. And, so is the chicken BLT. Border Grill is a must stop by when you're at LAX and don't forget to say "hi" to Angelina.

My experience did not reflect their low rating. The self order kiosk did not have the breakfast burrito, so I asked and they placed my order for me. I thought the burrito was excellent and I really enjoyed the salsa. It actually had kick, I’d still enjoy more but definitely satisfied. The chips could use salt and that would have raised this rating.

Best food in LAX airport, which is otherwise known for terrible food. The Chile relleno burger was big, fresh cooked, and delicious. Lots of green chilies and the cheese was melted on the grill. Would actually order this if I wasn't in the airport.

I didn't have a chance to look at the reviews before choosing this place. But I join the list af those who are surprised at the low ratings. When I ordered the fish tacos, they said it would be 20 mins. It was ready on time. And the tacos and sides were delicious! The staff was super friendly.

I don’t know why this was rated so low. Probably the best nachos I’ve ever had. Loads of ingredients and it was big enough for two…. And we didn’t even get then added meaty option. The Server was very nice and very attentive. Yes it’s expensive and $28.50 for a margarita is insane…. But it’s an airport, they have to pay rent somehow. I don’t know why this is so shocking for people 🤷🏻‍♀️

Somewhat vegan-friendly, a veggie burrito can be made vegan, and I guess a bowl. But we opted out for P.F. Chang’s which is above and have more options a well as tofu (even though it’s not listed on the menu)

Food is really good and warm which I really love it I understand that i is at the airport but they really need to work in customer service, they also have a bar but didn’t drink alcohol.
