Border Grill Mandalay Bay

I love the food here, the staff is super nice too. Shoutout to our server whose name escapes me but started with a J! His recommendations were spot on and all delicious. Yes, it's pricey, but you're in Vegas. Live a little!

The food was genuinely great and plated nicely when it finally arrived, but the experience getting there was rough. We waited around 1.5 hours for our meals. Twice we were told the food was “being plated,” only for nothing to come out for another 30+ minutes after being told. It would’ve been better to just be honest instead of setting false expectations. We were told there was a glitch in the system and that some small appetizers would be brought out while we waited—but those never came either. To their credit, they comped the entire meal, which we really appreciated and is the main reason this isn’t a lower rating. I respect that they tried to make it right, but the communication and wait time were hard to overlook.

Had a good experience at Border Grill. The food, for the most part, was good. We had the Queso Fundido appetizer which has good flavor. For entrees we had the prime rib tacos and the short ribs enchiladas. Both were decent but the prime rib on the tacos was very overcooked and thus became tough to chew. The meat was seasoned well and overall the flavors worked nicely. We had blood orange margaritas and they were very good.

First time here. As a Vegas local I would say the food here rivals if not surpassed Mesa grill which was an iconic Southwestern /Latin style restaurant at Caesars. The menu offer so many new options vs a standard franchise location Our sever Kyle was excellent and helped us decide what to order. The food did take a little long but the place was packed so no fault of the kitchen. Note to kitchen please make the pieces of Brussel sprouts a little larger and less chorizo. Menu items in photos: poblano chicken enchiladas, Brussel sprouts, mesquite, Al pastor tacos, Yucatan pork.

Wow! What an impressive place to enjoy a meal. The food is delicious, unique, presented beautifully, and surprisingly sustainably sourced! The employees/service is outstanding, they smile and lightly converse. .. Almost as if they love their job! Turns out that they do.... I believe that it is because of the way this place is run, I mean, the chef is an absolute wonderful person, he works hard, loves his food, and loves to see how patrons enjoy it. Who wouldn't be happy to work for a place that the owners/head chef actually care about it and believe in the business?! This is SERIOUSLY the best kept restaurant secret in Vegas! If every business would look at their business model, product, and professionalism things would be so much better for literally everyone!

Portions were very small. Chips were good but salsa and guacamole were only. Will look elsewhere. Enchiladas were smaller than a taquito from Costco.

Where do I start… Border Grill looks nice enough when you finally find it, with a modern setup, but nothing about the décor screams “Border” or feels like it leans into Mexican culture. It’s just… simple. Now, my wife and I live this food—we know Mexican food. So when even our waiter, in the most polite and respectful way, warns us: “That’s not what you think it’s going to be”—you know something’s off. He knew our culture and tried his best to set expectations so we wouldn’t be blindsided. Honestly, credit to him, because without his guidance it would’ve been even more disappointing. The food itself? Ribeye steak: Cooked to absolute perfection—one of the best I’ve had. If this place leaned into just doing steaks, they’d have a gem on their hands. The problem was the presentation: drowned in fancy sauces that all ran together instead of letting each stand out. The random three fried potato balls on the side? Didn’t make sense, and definitely didn’t feel Mexican. Funny enough, the best thing here wasn’t even Mexican at all. Pozole: If you’re Mexican, you know exactly what you expect when you hear that word. What arrived was smoked pork belly in a broth that didn’t resemble traditional pozole at all. Edible, yes—but not authentic. On top of that, it was overly salted, while the salsas that came with other dishes strangely lacked salt altogether. That imbalance made the whole meal feel off. And the fact it didn’t come with tortillas or tostadas? That’s a miss. “Sweet tamale” sampler: Looked great on the plate, but once unwrapped it was mushy, undercooked, and closer to a pudding than a tamal. On top of that, they paired it with pico de gallo—which has no business being on a sweet dish. Sour cream worked, sure, but the pico killed it. This isn’t Mexican food. It’s someone’s interpretation of it. And when you name a place Border Grill, you’re setting expectations you don’t meet. If they want to keep doing “reinterpretations,” fine—just be honest and call it fusion. Sometimes, sticking to what’s authentic and real is best. A solid, traditional Mexican dish on a plain white plate would’ve beat all the fancy twists here. Not everything needs a “vision.”

We had brunch at Border Grill and thought it was a pretty solid experience. It’s a $44.99 tapas style brunch where you can try three small plates at a time for two hours, great if you like variety. We sat on the patio, which was comfortable even in cooler weather thanks to the heaters. They also had fans for summer, so it's set up well year-round. Everything we tried tasted fresh and well-seasoned, even if nothing came out piping hot. Standouts were the Campechanand the prickly pear chai parfait. The horchata French toast also hit the spot. A few things missed for us, like the steak and egg being a bit tough and the breakfast taco coming out dry. But they did accommodate a gluten allergy with a corn tortilla, which we appreciated. The Diablo chicken and churro waffle brought some heat, and the birria hash had a little kick too, though no consommé like you might expect. Service was efficient, and the pace worked well for a relaxing brunch. If you're staying nearby and want variety without too much fuss, this is a great option, especially for folks looking for some gluten free friendly choices.

This place is great! So much so we ate lunch here 3 days in a row while attending a conference at the convention center. Highly recommend reservations. Of the 3 things I tried. My favorite was the steak nachos. They were fantastic. The steak quesadilla is also good but the nachos were unmatched. My dining partner loved the chicken poblano Enchiladas. So much so, he had them two days in a row. Love Border Grill!

This place is a Must! Make sure u reservations is dont ASAP The steak taco melts in your mouth, everything with steak was yummy. Just the rice and beans were cold not sure why. Friendly people and yummy food The branch 45$ all u can eat amazing

We had a reservation and we were seated right away. Our server had looked at the reservation before greeting us and asked whose birthday we were celebrating. My husband's birthday is in a few days and I'll be away, so we were celebrating early. Our server brought him a sundae with fresh berries and a salted chocolate chip cookie. Looked like maldon salt and it was delicious. To start, we had guacamole. It was a small portion, compared to what we're used to. It was creamy. The trio of salsas were good too. My husband liked the shrimp tacos and his friend enjoyed the trio of enchiladas. The melted cheese on the shrimp tacos was a nice surprise. Our friend was happy that they were three different enchiladas. I ate so many chips that I was very full and didn't eat all the lamb chops. Rookie move. The lamb chops were very good. They were nice and fatty. We also got a side of brussel sprouts. The sprouts were shaved and roasted with red bell pepper and chorizo. It was very tasty, but felt like a full meal. I would come back and skip the guac, and try not to eat all the chips. I probably ate a full basket. Instead, I'd save room for the entree. Service was nice, except when we were checking out. Things got a bit slow then. Otherwise, we had a nice time.

BORDER BRUNCH REVIEW We had a great first visit last year, we decided to return this past weekend. All- you-can-eat small plates with Mexican/American flavors? Yes please! This is a great alternative to the more expensive Vegas Buffet without the crowds and having to wait in line. FYI, it's $44 per person. Of the 16 items to choose from, there are 11 savory items and 5 sweet items. Our plan of attack was simple. TRY EVERYTHING! So we did the most sensible thing and requested one of each savory item first, then one of each sweet item to follow, then repeat the ones we liked. Savory standouts for me were the Campechana Tostada, Brisket Benedict, Chilaquiles, Enchilada, Breakfast Taco, Birria Hash, and Steak & Eggs. My favorite sweet items were the warm Churro Tots, the Churro Waffle that came with the Diablo Fried Chicken, and the Chia Parfait. Our server was so-so. She was a younger woman who sent out a couple of our savory items with rubbery scrambled eggs in the beginning "because SHE just tells the cooks scrambled eggs" INSTEAD of asking the guest how they would like their eggs done!? I took it upon myself to request over easy eggs when we ordered the steak and egg plate. She also had the nerve to stand over me while I was paying our bill on the credit card machine to see how much tip I was gonna leave. Very tacky and unprofessional IMHO. Aside from our waitress, we had a good time.

Even though this buffet is farther down the on one end of the strip at Mandalay Bay, it is a tried a true place to eat for unlimited small plates. Over the years, the quality has remained consistently high and prices reasonable at under $50 per person. Literally almost everything is delicious here but I will just highlight two of my favorite items. The deviled eggs here are so unique. The base of the eggs are pickled and come out a gorgeous hue of pink. The egg center is beautifully piped and smooth to eat. The pepper paste has a nice depth to it. It is only slightly spicy with hints of fruit and chocolate. And the cute little pepper pearls add little pops of interest without overwhelming everything else. The salmon avocado toast is so well balanced. The salmon isn't fishy at all, with a hint of citrus, and is the perfect thickness. The avocado and cream cheese add a little creaminess. The capers, onion, and bread all add a bite and bring balance to the dish. It is just a really nice and bright addition to what can be traditionally heavy brunch items. Service was great. The server refilled drinks without needing prompting. And he checked on us often to put in additional orders and clean the table. It was a little hot in the corner of the outside seating since the sun was fully out. But not much can be done about that. Overall, we had over a dozen people eating but he did a wonderful job of balancing our needs. If I were to only stay on the strip, Border Grill would always be worth a visit. Again the food is delicious, the pricing reasonable, and I like the seating layout. You never feel like you are forgotten in a sea of dirty plates and tables often found at other buffets. And when you sit outside, you have a nice view of the palm trees.

A hidden gem inside the Mandalay Bay. We came for brunch and didn't have a reservation but came before it got busy so we were able to be seated right away. We loved that their brunch buffet was made to order small plates. Everything came out fresh and quick. My favorites was the steak and eggs, chilaquiles, and prickly pear chai parfait. Our sever Ronnie provided excellent service! Definitely would come again!

Have wanted to come here for a while. Finally got the chance after taking some guests to the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay Was fairly busy but we had a reservation so we were seated right away Service was friendly and efficient They had some specials and one was a turkey enchilada with cranberry and gravy. I just had to try it. It was a wild idea. It was definitely weird but tasty. I really liked it. Also had the fried fish taco and the short rib taco All the food was amazing. We got the margaritas, I had the Cadillac and it was very good

The perfect modern Mexican Food. The Border Brunch menu packs so much different delicious plates and the endless mimosas come with three different juices so you can mix them to your pallet. The brisket enchiladas were delicious. Such a comfort atmosphere. The service was amazing. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful and thoughtful. I would highly recommend this amazing restaurant.

When you consider all the choices there are to eat inside a hotel like this, this one falls on the slightly better side of dining options. It's all about the Mexican food experience here. Let's begin with some chips and guacamole. The guacamole is an add-on to this starter otherwise you get three salsas to dip into - a mild, medium, and tangy. All four were decent. The guacamole is a bit spicier and saltier than you might expect. The other three were ok. For the entree I chose the enchiladas. You can mix and match from a list of five. I picked the short ribs, seafood, and chicken. The seafood was the best. A few shrimp accompanied by lettuce and cheese. The chicken and rib ones don't give you much protein. There's enough here to fill you up. The other entree was tacos. Again you get three choices to mix and match out of five. The cauliflower is the best here. Drinks were the best part here. Margaritas are the go to's. Excellent waiter.

Came here not expecting much since CA has amazing mexican food. Well the green sauce here is so flavorful- like no other and it was absolutely amazing!! It smelled good and tasted even better! I was pleasantly surprised Got the skirt steak as it came with a side of cucumber salad (was trying to be healthy). Well the meal also came with a home made tortilla that I had to try and wow it was warm and freshly made- also absolutely delicious!! The steak was a tad chewy but the green sauce made everything amazing! Also tried the mezcal drink with a rim of full of tajin and that was good! They make great drinks here! A very descent Mexican place in the desert!! Sit at the bar area!! Brittany and Rosa are amazing!!! Great customer service with a smile and they make killer drinks!! Thank you for making my first experience at your restaurant awesome

The tacos are legit! I just landed in Vegas and was looking for something quick to hold me over until our dinner reservation. I stumbled across Border Grill while exploring Mandalay Bay. The service was quick, the drinks were delicious, and the food was flavorful. The crispy fish tacos were delicious, and the pico was fresh. They have a really good chipotle aioli that I drizzled on top of all my tacos. The shrimp taco was seasoned to perfection. My husband, who was at a conference while I was at Border Grill demanded that we dine here before we leave Vegas. We will be running this back before departure!

We came in for a lunchtime meal when it was shockingly difficult to find a restaurant in Vegas that was open! The kids loved the children's menu. Our son had the chicken tacos with a side of fries and the other one had the beef taquitos also with the fries. What a win to get fries at a Mexican restaurant! My husband and I enjoyed the enchiladas with a side salad. Everything was delicious. Service was fantastic. Our son's begged to take them back the next day!

Came here for a late lunch and it was delicious. We had the chips and guacamole, three taco combo and ceviche. We mixed the tacos had a carne asada, fish and carnitas tacos. The carnitas taco was my favorite. The service was great. The restaurant had indoor and outdoor seating options.

Great contemporary Mexican cuisine tucked inside the Mandalay Bay near the Convention Center. Fast service with good food options so a good choice when you are in a hurry, or not - their drink menus are also great for spending more time relaxing here, if you have time. Our waitress told us their cuisine is modern Mexican with a fusion twist - we agree and like the slightly different flavors from the more traditional Mexican restaurants. I find it interesting and refreshing. Love their location far away from the casinos. It's a great choice if you are attending conferences or exhibitions at the Convention Center, or before or after a visit to the Shark Reef Aquarium.

My girl friends and I were on a girls trip and stayed at the Mandalay Bay for the weekend. We had a reservation here to have dinner before we went to XS for a night of dancing. We each ordered a different dish to try. I had the short rib enchiladas. It was really delicious. Our server was nice and checked in on us every time. The food order came out right away. The restaurant was tucked in an area that was not in the casino. It was directly in front of the Michelob Ultra Arena and the food court.

We had a great work team dinner here with incredibly friendly and attentive servers, not to mention the delicious food!!! My coworkers made fun of me for ordering the caesar salad out of everything on the menu, but I swear it's the best caesar I've ever had. Delicious cosita cheese croutons, crispy fried garlic slices and preserved lemon--yummm!

Went to Border Grill twice while in Las Vegas because everything was so good! The first time was for lunch and had a blood orange lemonade and steak quesadilla! Lemonade was very very tart but refreshing during the work hours and quesadilla was filling. The second time was just for a drink and chips and salsa. Great Apple vodka champagne drink perfect way to end the work day. The menu also has an extensive list of margaritas! Service was good both times. Restaurant is a little loud.

We came here for dinner before a concert at Allegiant, and it serves that purpose well. It's not thrilling Mexican, but it's good. Prices are fair for a luxury resort on the Strip. All three salsa options offered were low heat but flavorful. We enjoyed the simple but tasty shrimp aguachile, caramelized plantains, and black beans. All diners enjoyed sampling the short rib, seafood, and chicken-poblano mix-and-match enchiladas. Nothing too spicy, capable service. Be ready for quite a walk through the restaurant and to get to the bathrooms on the lower level.

Brunch Birthday celebration.. it was awesome and delicious! I'm not a brunch person but I have to say it was delicious and fun. Every single plate we shared was delicious. Service was fast and professional, no complaints even with full place. Ambiance was perfect, beautiful day, beautiful occasion. It's a must try!

Ok. I'm kinda disappointed! Not about the food but about the actual menus! You can't even read it. ! Quality control doesn't mean just your service or food but Everything about the experience! We could read the menu because it was faded. It makes a different. Please do better

I love this place! Such great options for veggie, meat, gluten free, etc. Excellent quality and flavors. The plantain and black bean empanadas were my favorite I've ever had! I wish they would open more restaurants. We went to the one inside Mandalay Bay. Will go back next time in Vegas.

Service was very attentive, bottomless mimosa was fantastic and small plates were tasty, but they are small. Best to order at least 3-4 plates per person each round because it can take awhile to get the food, and meantime the mimosas are flowing with not enough food to soak it all up.

Stopped by for a late dinner right before closing and glad I dined here! The Al pastor tacos were very filling and flavorful! Highly recommend this! The chips and salsa trio was good as well and very huge portion! My favorite sauce was the green one as it was more flavorful and tart! My friend ordered the chicken tortilla soup and that was disappointing. It was very dry almost like tomato paste and she said it was bland. She also ordered the shrimp tacos and she devoured it! She really enjoyed the tacos!

The service was fine but the food was not good and while I can appreciate lighting to provide ambiance I'd also like to be able to read the menu.

Quality/Quantity - Chips & Salsa Trio - I really enjoyed two of the three salsas. And my guest actually enjoyed the third one, win-win! The waiter offered to refill our chips, but we declined as we did not want to over eat and ruin our dinner. Seafood Enchiladas - Good. I can tell the tortillas were cooked with lobster or shrimp flavored water, sauce? The texture of the tortillas threw me off. And I would have liked to have tasted some lobster or shrimp meat in my tortillas. Crispy Diablo Cauliflower Tacos - My guest really liked these, 5 stars. He said he could eat this all day every day. Got a few Dos Equis Ambers - You already know I am a red drinker. :) Atmosphere - Very busy lunch crowd, thanks to the convention hall. Two floors, I say, "there is a downstairs???" this all the time I'm here, even when I ate at the previous business. LOL. Table, bar, outside (weather permitting) seating. Interesting artwork, see pictures. Downstair bathrooms were closed due to the convention and all the private Super Bowl events. We had to walk outside and use the pool bathrooms. Service - Good. Price - $90 + generous tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1985 and with your 5+ restaurants.

Border Grill was a solid option during a recent trip to Las Vegas this week. There were 3 of us for dinner during a conference. We ordered: Border Paloma - eh, not a traditional paloma and kinda bland; the change wasn't for the better Guayaba Spritz - quite delicious Blanco Margarita - exactly what you would expect, meets expectations Chips/Salsa trio/Guac - solid but a small portion for $14 Grilled Skirt Steak - great. Best option of the night. The grilled pepper was spicy. Jamon Serrano Pollo Relleno - just ok. I loved the brussel sprouts side. It was amazing to have a grilled veg option as a side, but the wrapped chicken was too rich, too much and I'm not sure I related to it as a relleno, which might have just been me. Overall, good. But given how many amazing places there are in Las Vegas this one falls slightly short and is overpriced.

Over all, very satisfied with this find. All you can eat for $44 a person is probably one of the best lunch deals on the strip. They have a menu full of options. The chilaquiles and the ceviche tostadas were my favorite! We did order a cafe de olla that I was very dissatisfied, so I'd skip that. The serve was great, the staff was quick and friendly. The location is the last hotel on the strip and is deep into the hotel, but the ambiance was ok, nothing too special.

My friends and I truly enjoyed dining here. It's located in a fairly isolated part of the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Vegas, near the food court. I didn't even know it was there, but I was exploring the hotel and lo and behold, there it was! I had tacos and absolutely devoured them. Equally as tasty, the side of brussel sprouts. They were over the top yummy! The chips and salsa were served hot, which I loved! Most places they are barely warm. You get a variety of salsas, too. There is something for everyone. The atmosphere overall is good, although the tables are super close together. I don't mind chatting to an occasional stranger while I dine, but on this occasion, the woman at the neighboring table had bathed in perfume, making my dining experience a little unpleasant. It's not the restaurant's fault except we were so close together, she backed her chair into me. So, yeah, I could smell her. Ugh. That aside, I enjoyed myself. The staff was nice, too. I'd go back.

I am very serious about Border Grill's all you can eat tapas brunch. Before booking my hotel, airline tickets, etc, I made sure I had a reservation to our most favorite place in Vegas to ensure we could eat there! Seriously...true story. It's only held on Saturday and Sunday and I'm not sure how I would cope being in Vegas and not eating here. The menu changes periodically, which is exciting for us since we don't always get to frequent Vegas often. They always have about 15-16 dishes on the menu with lots of variety. The waiter suggested ordering approximately 3-4 dishes at time, so everything didn't get cold. My husband and I decided to order the same dishes at the same time so we could try everything together. When the food came out, most plates had a double order so we could each try the dish equally. I appreciated our waiter, Mario, placing the order like this. I could go on and on and on about how amazing this food was, but here were the top favorites: Chilaquiles - delicious and the corn chips on top of the egg mixture added a great flavor and crunch! Spicy chicken tamale - husband's favorite. A good solid tasting tamale Horchata French toast - thick spongy bread with a delicious sauce drizzled on top. On point, but I'm also a sucker for anything Horchata Conchas and jam - husband thought this was incredible especially bc of the raspberry sauce. I'm not a fan of raspberry, so it wasn't as special to me. His eyes closed as he tasted this sauce, so I knew he was enjoying himself. Steak and egg - I don't know why, but this semi simple sounding dish was outstanding. Getting every single ingredient on the fork is key..egg, steak,potato, guac, salsa and black beans. It was a party in my mouth. Deviled eggs - beautiful pink pickled eggs that were bursting with flavor. I got about 3 orders of these! Birria hash and egg - beef was juicy and delicious and the potatoes added some nice texture along with the eggs Churro tots - like little fluffy donut holes covered in cinnamon and sugar. It was a nice change up having these between the savory dishes. They came with that same raspberry sauce, so the husband was in heaven Prickly pear chia parfait - OMG. We were going to pass on this. Didn't want to waste room in our stomachs. Last minute my husband said screw it, I'm trying it. Thank God they brought me one too. Literally this was one of the best things we had for brunch and it was the one thing we kept talking about when we left. If I wasnt rolled out of the door after our meal, I seriously would have eaten another. The flavor was absolutely delicious. The chia seeds were soft and added a lovely texture to the coconut milk. The pear was nice and sticky at the bottom of the jar plus extra berries in the middle. A fabulous combo. So do yourself a favor and book the brunch. You won't regret it. We went at 10 am and literally were stuffed the rest of the day. It's such a great value and a good way to try things you'd never think to order.

We saw the Border Grill on the Food Network Channel & decided to give it a try since it was on our hotel property. So glad we did! The first time we visited was during a weekday. We were looking forward to their bottomless mimosa & unlimited tapas, but apparently that is only a a weekend thing. HOWEVER, because the food was so delicious, we came back on our next trip to Vegas, this time on a weekend. Obviously we ordered the bottomless mimosas & unlimited tapas. This is the best deal if you want to sample most of their extensive menu. It still leaves you undecided on what to order as there was nothing to disappoint the palate. It was definitely worth coming back to try. Luckily we had reservations right before visiting the Shark Reef Experience, because the restaurant packed out in no time. They have indoor or outdoor seating (right next to the lazy river), and an extremely busy waitstaff as they go from table to table to make sure the tapas & mimosas are constantly coming. The vibe in this place is suitable for families, date night, or a bunch of friends just wanting to have a great time. Love this place!

Very nice restaurant, I was on a restricted diet and they made a fantastic plain chicken quesadillas, I had a Cadillac margarita, super yummy too! Wait staff was attentive, food was great, definitely recommend!

This was a fun little lunch/brunch spot at Mandalay Bay that we stopped at. Very fun and high energy restaurant with sports, drinks and good food. I did the tacos and really enjoyed them. We shared a guac and chips and salsa, very good bites.

Great place to have lunch if you're at Mandalay. It is located near both the pool and the conference area. They have a great outdoor seating location that is shaded so it doesn't get too hot. The fish tacos were so good and a little bit spicy. The guacamole was also excellent and tasted fresh with the right amount of onion. Pair that with a cold beer and you've got, a highly recommended restaurant.

Stopped here for lunch, the service was amazing, and she was friendly and very attentive. We started with chips and salsa the green and chipotle were my fav. and corn tamales they melted in your mouth they were not made with masa only corn. I got chicken enchiladas, and we have beef taquitos, my son got steak nachos. The ambiance was nice, moderate noise overall great.

Always a great stop when at Mandalay - food is delicious...priced well (for Vegas)...and staff are always great. It is a bit of a hike but if you're willing to drop in for dinner it's worth your while! The only thing that is hit or miss is their margaritas. Very lime heavy and too light on the agave. Their blood orange one is better balanced however so I recommend going that route. Tortillas are homemade and top notch. All their meats are super flavorful and juicy. Favorites: Ribeye steak Spicy shrimp Quesadillas with chicken Slow roasted pork Plantain empanadas Honestly, you can't go wrong with just about anything on the menu!

HORRIBLE!! My husband order the skirt steak for $40 and it came out SO small! It was laughable, smaller than a kids portion and I wish I took a photo of it. Our server was super sweet and asked what else she could get him and he ordered chicken enchiladas instead. They came and were SMALLER than a taquito!!!! Total joke for what you pay for here!!!! Don't bother!!!!! The quality doesn't even match the portions!!!

I've been wanting to eat here for YEARS! After seeing it on The Chef Show, I've been dying to try this place. And last week we finally made it to Vegas and to the Border Grill at Mandalay Bay. It does NOT disappoint! Every single one of us had our minds blown and our taste buds singing. The member of our group who had never heard of this restaurant, had the best steak nachos in his entire life. My mate had the best gluten free chile relleno in his life, and I had the most amazingly delicious diablo cauliflower tacos. We also thoroughly enjoyed the chips and trio of salsas and the blood orange and Cadillac margaritas. Everything was literally to die for! Service was exceptional and the restaurant is super cute. Definitely recommend. We cannot wait to go back!

Don't walk by and miss out on this spot! The Mandalay bay has many places to eat but we chose this and we left happy with our experience. We came for brunch and had the bottomless mimosas to go with our food. We all also got the unlimited small bites. We did a couple of rounds and went through the whole menu. My favorite was the shrimp on a chip plate. Every food item was fresh and was of good quality. I loved the service by our waitress. The food came out quick. If you're coming hungry I highly recommend you get the small bites deal as it's totally worth the price. Mimosa champagne bottles were replaced without us even asking. This restaurant definitely needs more love, stop by and try it out.

We made reservations for the Border Grill before a show at Mandalay Bay. I was eating with a person of Mexican descent so I was interested in her opinion as well. The menu had tacos, enchiladas, steak, seafood, and some vegetarian options (unfortunately they were out of two of them). We started with house fried tortilla chips with three salsas (tomatillo, chili de arbol, and a sweeter salsa of some kind. Unfortunately, only the tomatillo salsa stood out with the others lacking any distinctive flavor or heat. We also order guacamole which was excellent. The chips and salsa were included with the guacamole but $14 is a bit high. The restaurant also offered several flavored lemonades and teas which were nice but they charged for refills. For entrees, we had cheese enchiladas and tacos Al pastor. My guest liked the cheese enchiladas and the poblano purée that accompanied them. My tacos Al pastor were tender, accompanied by pineapple salsa and fresh corn tortillas with pineapple flavor infused. The staff were attentive with filling water glasses and answering questions about the menu. It was nice to have several people monitoring your dining experience to make sure you are taken care of without being intrusive. My friend's only feedback was that the menu seemed more Tex-Mex rather than traditional Mexican. For example, she said that Mexican people would not use black beans but this restaurant did. The food was good so that may or may not be a deciding factor for some. In conclusion, the Border Grill has a diverse menu with creative preparations and enjoyable food. We did not have alcohol so $90+ for two people seemed a bit steep in our opinion especially charging for drink refills and $14 guacamole. I know it's a casino restaurant but cheese enchiladas and pork tacos do not seem like high-end fare. Take a look at their menu for yourself and give them a try.

Always reliable for a great meal and good service. We sat in the balcony which was louder than anticipated but it was fine.

The brunch of my dreams!!!! A true 10/10 experience from top to bottom with unbeatable value. 3 of us sat outside with a nice view of the pool for brunch yesterday and Katie was our server. She provided some of the best service we had ever had at a restaurant, no exaggeration. She was truly a joy to spend brunch with took my review from a 4 to a 5 with her kindness, attentiveness and effort to make our experience perfect. We started with bottomless drinks for $27.99 a person. You can mix and match between mimosas, micheladas and bloody mary's. Such a fantastic deal. Katie brought us a bottle of champagne on ice and 3 different juices so that we wouldnt have to wait for our drinks and could make them how we like them! The micheladas were really tasty as well. We also had the bottomless brunch small plate option which was 44.99 per person. They had really amazing mexican inspired dishes to choose from, and each item is about 2-3 bites. Its perfect because you can try everything you want from the menu! Each person can order 3 dishes at a time and I tried 8 dishes in total. I had the salmon avocado toast, diablo chicken and churro waffle, breakfast enchilada, breakfast taco, barbacoa benedict, campechana, and the birria hash and eggs. I truly enjoyed each plate but the breakfast taco was the stand out for me. It was a flour tortilla with eggs, chorizo, potatoes, poblanos, oaxacan cheese, salsa fresca, and avocado balm. The flavors were amazing and I definitely recommend it! I don't think you could go wrong with any of their options. Try it out Border Grill if you're every out that way, you will not regret it!

The weekend brunch is a must if you're staying at Mandalay. They offer a table side all you can eat from a nice curated menu of really tasty "modern Mexican" items. The eggs Benedict, salmon toast, deviled egg and birria and eggs are some stand out items. The food is fantastic but the service may be the bigger star. The brunch is obviously a huge draw so the wait staff is really hustling as some patrons are definitely trying to get their moneys worth and putting them through the paces. I don't think I ever had to wait for anything. Our waitress Katie and the busser Cannon were a stellar team. Will definitely be back.

This was a disappointing visit. We used to come here for brunch once a year before the pandemic and this was our first time back in a couple of years. The brunch food was average with some of the dishes being so spicy nobody could finish them, the waffles were dry, multiple dishes that had eggs it seemed like the eggs were microwaved, the breakfast tacos were bland, the french toast mediocre.... The only dish from the all you can eat menu that we ordered a second time was the steak and eggs because the steak was really good. The service was also really bad. Not only did it take forever for the food to come out, but we all ordered drinks and no one was able to order a second drink because the waitress never came back to ask if we wanted a second one. The waitress also never came to ask if we were enjoying the food and because there were eight people at our table, she would only ask two people what they wanted for food refills so multiple people were never asked what they wanted to eat. It was just really, really disappointing, and of course at the end it also was very expensive. Everyone felt ripped off and no one among us said they would come back. Mediocre food, terrible service, large bill.

Perfection has been achieved in this establishment! The pork was delectable, as was the c. The sangria was the perfect balance of wine, fruit, and not too sweet. Service was impeccable, speedy and helpful. We enjoyed the artistic ambiance. One only has to look up at the ceiling to feast your eyes on the fantastic and vibrant art above.

We tried Border Grill during our recent trip to Vegas. We didn't have a reservation, so we had to sit in the heated outdoor patio. We ordered shortrib enchiladas, cauliflower diablo tacos, and aquachilie ceviche. We also got chips with 3 salsas. Everything was so good!! I got full before I could finish. We also had great service. Highly recommend this restaurant!!

Sunday brunch was amazing. So much delicious variety. Steak and eggs was an absolute standout. Diablo chicken was spicy in the best possible way. Branden and the wonderful woman trading off with him were so prompt and hospitable. I was by myself and appreciated their attention to detail!

Border Grill was easily one of my top two favorite places we ate at in Vegas. Think Mexican brunch tapas -- unlimited and made fresh for $45! It's honestly a steal given how good this place is. It was also criminal that more people weren't there on a Saturday morning. I would definitely recommend coming here for a girl's trip or bachelorette and getting the Bottomless mimosas, micheladas and bloody marys for $28 too, and then head out to the lazy river outside to float the day away until dinner. The restaurant has a fun vibe and it's nice that it looks out onto the lazy river and some nice trees. My favorites from the unlimited brunch: -Salmon Avocado Toast: I almost ordered a second after the first bite. So fresh and yummy! Easily one of the best I've had. -Horchata French Toast: The ladies at the table next to us recommended this. Holy yummy! It was like a Mexican bread pudding. -Birria Hash and Egg: Order this. Period. The meat was melt in your mouth delicious. I liked this better than the birria taco, that being said, it was also really good. -Barbacoa Benedict: These would have been the best thing we had if there had been a little more meat. Solution? Take some from the Biria hash and voila, best thing you ate that morning. The service was great. I wish I could remember our server's name but it's been a little too long now. He and the rest of the staff were great and super fun to chat with. Go! Go! Go!

This place was really delicious. My husband & I were looking for somewhere to eat for our last night in Vegas. We wanted to find something that wasn't crazy expensive because we had an expensive night ahead of us and wanted to keep it reasonable. It had $$ on price listed on Yelp so we felt like this was a good option based on that and stellar reviews. Our server was incredibly friendly and super helpful with suggestions. He told us his two favorite meals and seemed truly excited about them. The food was absolutely enjoyable. For an appetizer, we ordered the chips & guacamole. The guacamole was good, I wouldn't say the best ever, but decent. For dinner, We ordered the shrimp tacos and the chicken enchiladas and split both. Both dishes were very enjoyable, but I'd say the enchiladas were both of our favorite. We also ordered cocktails that were really great. One thing I will say is that we had to ask for water several times, which was a little irritating but with the other service being so good, not a deal breaker. Our bill was about $170 which was a little high for Mexican food, but I know that Vegas is that way so it wasn't too surprising. The decor and ambiance in this restaurant were very well done. It was very trendy on the inside and the outside being by the pool was cool.

I recently dined here and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The food was delicious although on the expensive side for what you get. The service was attentive and friendly and the view really added to the atmosphere. If you're looking for a place with great service and a nice ambiance, this could be a good spot--just be prepared to spend a little more than usual for average food.
