Las Vegas Restaurants

Border Grill Review

Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger, the popular cooking personalities who made a name for themselves on the Food Network, created this cheery, sophisticated outpost of their fantastic Santa Monica restaurant. Appetizers include green-corn tamales, ceviches, and plantain empanadas; for lunch, options might include an excellent turkey tostada or grilled skirt steak. For dinner, opt for dishes such as sautéed jumbo shrimp, beef brisket taquitos with guajillo chile sauce, or Kobe beef tacos with grilled pineapple salsa. Oaxacan mocha cake and Key lime pie are solid dessert choices. You'd be hard-pressed to find a tastier margarita in town—the pomegranate and honeydew versions are particularly delicious. Open daily for lunch.

    Hands down, this place is top notch! The chips were hot, the salsas (and homemade guacamole!) fresh, the chiles rellenos delectable, and the dessert simply fabulous. Oh yes, and the wait staff were quite attentive and courteous. I went here last month, and I can't wait to go back soon!

    Good Mexican food- Best Magarita in Vegas.
    Always friendly wait staff and a varied menu- not a Burrito/ Taco kind of restaurant.

    We tried the LA original of this restaurant. Dirty, crowded, noisy, full of screaming kids! Waiters were harried and disorganized. Terrible, cold food. For a place that Zagats rated OK, this was certainly a huge downer. I wonder if the LV version is any better.
