Border Grill

Fodor's Review:

Massive, colorful murals – a bit primeval – are a perfect complement to modern interpretations of this busy restaurant's ancient Mayan dishes such as cochinita pibil (achiote-marinated pork). Other favorites include a wild-mushroom quesadilla, vinegar-and-pepper-grilled turkey, and daily ceviche specials. Celebrity chef-owners Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger display a passion for Mexican cuisine here, but they do mellow the dishes to suit a broad audience.

Adequate but not great

Posted by Timjnyc from New York City on 12/6/06
The crowd is loud -- at least during happy hour. The margaritas are good. But the food is overpriced and really nothing special. It's not that Border Grill is bad. It's good Mexican food. But for the price, I was expecting more. And there are a lot of good restaurants in Santa Monica.
