Before we even sat down or were handed menus, the busser asked if we wanted chips and guac. We said sure. When we looked at the menu we saw chips were $8 and guac was $18. So before we even saw our server we were already $26 in. The chips were in a small bowl. The guac wasn't even customizable, they just brought it premade. Small portion as well for $18. I had the Mexican mule which was decent. My wife got the guava marg which just came in a water glass with no garnishes. Would expect better presentation for $16+ drinks. We got the Al pastor tacos and Yucatán pork. The tacos were good but didn't come with anything like rice or beans. The Yucatán pork was tender and delicious. It came in a huge portion that could've been shared between two people. But the sides were lacking. It came with only 3 street taco sized tortillas. When I asked for more, the server said I would need to order extra. Kind of crazy to be nickel and diming taco sized tortillas. The dish also came with a very small amount of pickled red onion which is the main topping for cochinita pibil. Overall pretty poor value for a casual dining place. read more

My family is so used to this place. We definitely love their chips and salsas and also the queso fundido. What we don't like it's the same dishes year after year. Hope they bring new ones. read more

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. read more

Great Service. Food is flavorful. Kid friendly. Really enjoyed the place. Would totally recommend.

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! read more

The service was awful. They took our drink order and promptly delivered drinks, but after waiting for food, which took approximately 30 minutes, they did not refill our drinks (soda, draft beer, and water) and forgot to bring a dessert menu after we asked. In fact, the waitress only checked on our table 3 times in over an hour. The most disappointing part of the meal was the $29 Chicken Poblano Enchiladas were actually small chicken taquitos! They were exactly the same size as the $15 taquito appetizer. The kid's menu $12 tomato soup with a $5 side grilled cheese sandwich, beans, and rice and beans was enough food for a full grown adult. Also, the sopapillas advertised on the website are not on the menu. I would not recommend Border Grill to anyone. read more

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. read more

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! read more

We visited Vegas for a day, stopped in to Border Grill. We're from California and we're used to pretty good Mexican Food and this place is below par.. The Margaritas were good, not bad at all. The tortilla soup was a tomato bisque with lots of garlic and strips of tortilla and more onions than I can count, 2 small cubes of avocado and 2 small pieces of cheese. Definitely a tomato base which is bizarre!! the salsa was served in very awkward mini sized metal container and hard to scoop so we definitely will not return. The baja ceviche was okay, not bad but it was just that, it was okay. sorry to disappoint with this review. We didn't hate it but we never ever return. There are too many other options on the strip to end up here again. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Good food, large portions, and outdoor dining available. I started with the Border Guacamole (which also comes with a trio of Salsa and Chips). Not a lot to say here, I liked the variety of the salsa trio, but my focus was really the guacamole which was really good, though a little heavy on the tomatoes. I also ordered a Tijuana Caesar salad and the Border Ceviche. The Caesar salad was really interesting. They included little strips of candied lemon which punched up the flavor in a really positive way. The Ceviche was my "entree" and I was pretty shocked at the size, it was about double the size I expected for the price. The staff was helpful in picking my meal and stopped by periodically to make sure I didn't need anything, but not so much it was annoying, and I loved the ability to sit outside and get some fresh air, without needing to be in the sun. read more

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! read more

I wanted to take a moment to highlight our incredible experience with Borders. They truly went above and beyond in taking care of my team. After running into issues with our reservation at another restaurant--where we were unfortunately met with little flexibility--I called Borders in a bit of a scramble, hoping they could accommodate a party of 12 during peak service hours. Without hesitation, their team jumped into action and found a way to make it work on the fly. The hosts working on Tuesday evening were incredibly quick, organized, and genuinely embodied what true hospitality should look like. From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless. The service was impeccable--our drinks were consistently refilled without delay, the food came out promptly, and every dish was absolutely delicious. What could have easily turned into a stressful and disappointing evening was completely turned around thanks to this amazing team. I truly can't thank them enough for their attentiveness, professionalism, and warmth from beginning to end. Highly recommend--this is how hospitality should be done. read more

Border Grill - Spicy eggs and bacon - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

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. read more

A solid choice for a reasonably priced dinner at a LV strip hotel (Mandalay Bay). Happy that this restaurant wasn't close to the casino floor, so not at all smoky. Food was excellent:, the JAMON SERRANO POLLO RELLENO dish was unique and great. An amazing BRUSSELS SPROUTS side with: warm chorizo, citrus vinaigrette, piquillo peppers, roasted shallot puree, stole the show for me. Grilled skirt steak also very good. Warm chips w 3 salsas to start were nice. Wine list is pretty scant, and service was a bit leisurely. A great choice for good food on the strip. read more

I got take out- so can't comment on the service. Bar tender was punctual and attentive, but it was to place and order, retrieve the orders. Food was oily. I got Cesar salad... didn't know it would be charred but they forgot to wash the lettuce so I bit into good chunk of sand. Disgusting. Regret. Regret. Regret. Broccoli charred. Tasty but so oily. Plantains good flavor but again oily. I get it fat makes everything better but sliding in oil does not add to the experience- I now have an oil stain from broccoli of all things on my dress.. Flavor profile was good, complimentary. I only tried a few items, with another try- next time I'll just decline the oil. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Still my go-to after 20+ years. I've been coming to Border Grill at Mandalay Bay for over two decades--mostly for work trips--and it never disappoints. The food is just as good now as it was the first time I came here. The green enchiladas are my absolute favorite--super flavorful, rich sauce, perfectly balanced. And the corn tamales? Unreal. Soft, sweet, and packed with flavor. The chips, salsas, and guac are always on point too. It's rare to find a spot that holds up this well over time, but Border Grill absolutely does. It's become a comforting ritual whenever I'm in Vegas--always dependable, always delicious. read more

The border grill at the Mandalay has been my number one must do for 15 years. Every time I'm in Vegas, I must stop in for the Baja Ceviche and the Border Burger. Yesterday, I got to the host stand and asked about the wait for 3 people. The hostess answered like she didn't really care to talk to me. She did not make eye contact, no smile. I was a pesky fly she didn't want to deal with. She clearly did not like her job. If I didn't know the food was delicious, her behavior and off-putting attitude would have made us leave. The busboy and waitress were phenomenal though. Both happy to help and made the experience that had started with a bad taste in my mouth a lot better. As I said, I stayed because of previous experiences but others visiting for their first time might leave when faced with that attitude. Border Grill your hostess (brunette with long hair and glasses), needs to do better. Maybe remind her that she is the 1st face potential customers see. read more

We've gone here everytime we come to Vegas. 20 years ago it felt like the menu was original, unique and really elevated Mexican cuisine. The last few years we feel the food has gone from awesome to just pretty good. No innovation and the ingredients seem to be just OK. One specific example, the Guacamole came out looking like it was plated a few hours earlier. The color was just off. The good news is the service was absolutely fantastic. read more

My friend has told me of Border Grill for YEARS and finally we've gone to Vegas together. They made reservations at least a month in advance for our party of 7 and we were seated promptly upon arrival. It was hot and in the 100s, which did make me a bit apprehensive about sitting out in the patio but it was actually fine (it was in the shade) and the staff was really fantastic, keeping us full with the bottomless mimosas, food AND water. We never had to flag anyone down - too busy having fun and they were checking in on us at the perfect times! I adored their concept of unlimited breakfast plates, tapas-style because it really allowed us to try everything! We definitely devoured everything we got - Diablo chicken and waffles was a huge hit with several reorders, steak and eggs were *chef's kiss*, deviled eggs were excellent... I don't think I disliked any items! We got 3 flavors for the mimosas and you can mix and match to your heart's desire. I would probably say that the only weakness, in my opinion, is the michelada. None of the micheladas I've had in Vegas have been good, period (not enough Clamato or they end up using their Bloody Mary mix, or something.) stick to the mimosas. 100% would make this part of every Vegas trip! read more

I was skeptical that I'd find great Mexican food on the strip, so I was pleasantly surprised by Border Grill inside of Mandalay Bay. I've heard it's difficult to snag a table without a reservation, but luckily they had some open tables during lunch on a Friday. They have a patio area, dining room, and bar area. We ordered the guacamole, which also came with three different salsas and chips. We enjoyed the guac and all three different salsas. They each had a unique flavor. We also ordered the enchilada trio. The short rib and chicken enchiladas were good, but the seafood enchilada was the highlight. It was all delicious! Would def recommend. read more

We started with chips and salsa the salsa was mild but full of flavor. Since our food was running just a little behind, the kitchen kindly sent out complimentary mini corn tamales, which were slightly sweet and really good. I ordered the Chicken Enchiladas Poblanas, and they surprised me with a modern twist served in green sauce instead of the traditional style but they were absolutely delicious. We also had the flat skirt steak, which was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly to our liking. The side of plátanos was fantastic definitely a must-try! The staff was wonderful and very welcoming, making the whole experience even better. read more

The weekend lunch menu is incredibly deceptive. The entire left side is only available if you purchase the border brunch for $50. The food was meh. Ordered chips and salsa for the table. The green salsa had so much lime juice it was like eating an lime tree. The smoked red salsa was like eating an ash tray. Whatever pepper they used in their Border Bloody Mary (not spicy) made it so spicy that I couldn't even finish it. The campechana was great though. read more

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! read more

Ordered to go and I'm going to say that food was mediocre. 1) border guac - basic, very small portion for the price. 2) esquite- 10/10 they got this right 3) chicken enchiladas- they were hard and thus disappointing. 4) organic rice- not fully cooked and would have loved as I could taste the flavor but the texture was not permitting me to fully enjoy this 5) prime rib tacos- standard 6) caramelized plantains- also hard, needed more caramelizing 7) skirt steak- decent read more

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. read more
