The food is overpriced and bland. We had pablano chicken enchiladas and black beans. Both were not seasoned and the tortillas were mushy. Margarita was terrible. Great service. Our waiter was lovely.

We had a wonderful experience. It was a party of 10. The service was great and the brunch was amazing. I loved the small plates and being able to try different things. A few got items from the lunch menu and they loved it as well.

We really enjoyed our meal at the Border Grill especially the Shrimp Tacos which were the highlight of the meal. However the food was slightly on the warm side rather than hot but flavour wise I could not fault it. Our server was very well informed and was happy to answer any questions.

Had read great reviews, but we had a terrible experience. First, service was just so-so, restaurant wasn't very clean. Had two different Margaritas and both were bad. The tortilla soup tasted like tomato sauce. The pork dish and the side of corn were the only good things. With many other choices stay clearn.

Overall people reviews states its top notch it worst then Denny’s. Food was not good because the chicken tortilla soup mentioned at plain tomatoes soup with unblended onions and tofu and side menu add chicken or avacado . not really chicken tortillas soup Second I ordered tacos with sausage and shrimp. Only one taco a small size sausage and rest didn’t have one. Not going to back not worth it. Area floor dirty and table setting could be better

The quality and atmosphere of this place has definitely gone downhill. I remember when this place was a more upper scale atmosphere. Now this place reminds me of any typical Mexican restaurant you find in your local neighborhood. The service was subpar. Our waiter walked by us and asked if everything was ok as he passed the table, not even pausing to hear our response. I ordered the seafood enchiladas which had very little flavor. My husband ordered the Yukatan Pork which he said was bland.
