Border Grill Mandalay Bay

Fantastic experience - the bottomless platters and Mary's was a real experience. Great food, great staff - an event more than a meal. Sunday brunch is a great time if you can make it. Can be a bit noisy in the outside area, but I guess people are passionate about their food!

We came in for the small plate brunch which is a fixed price and you can try as many of the small plates as you want. The service was good, food was good but many of the platees were barely warm ve hot and fresh. The $45 pp price was excessive for the experience (but in line for casinos these days) and they charge extra for chips and salsa.

Nice restaurant unfortunately the item I was interested in was not available which made my choice more difficult. Ended up ordering the ribeye steak which had a nice flavor but gristley and too large. I likely won't eat here again.

Excellent food! The Border and Aguachile Ceviches, Seafood Enchiladas, Skirt Steak, Mahi Mahi special, and sides (plantains, brussels sprouts, street corn, and rainbow cauliflower) were all scrumptious. The drinks flowed and we all shared the various entrees. The Fool Me Once and Fool Me Twice cocktails had just the right zing and the virgin Mojitos were refreshing! It was a bit noisy, but the food more than made up for the noise. Highly recommend this eatery. Great price to food value ratio. The service was very attentive.

We went for brunch and placed our order around 1:30pm, they brought duplicates of items when we ordered a singe plate. Did not bring three items (the ones we were especially looking forward to) and after repeatedly telling us those items were coming for 90 minutes eventually said well you came late for brunch and sometimes plates run out. Not sure a place you go to for brunch should run out of deviled eggs at 1:30pm? Food quality was expected for what you paid, which was reasonable.

Went here for Easter Brunch. Their Easter Brunch was served tapas, or small plate style. They offer about 15 different plates that we can order all you want of for up to 2 hours. Arrived and was seated outside as we requested. Outdoor seating is nice and near the resort pool. Server can promptly and took our orders but that is when we had the first issue. I tried to order one of their coffee drinks, as this was a brunch, but was told no coffee drinks were available as their machine was down. Disappointing, but I can handle that. We then put an order in for four items, expecting a pretty quick turnaround for this type of setup. We'll, this is where things got bad. Took around 20 minutes for our orders to come out, and half of them were cold. This is for four very small plates. Most standard service restaurants would have gotten their food out in that time. Shortly after getting our order, our server asked if we wanted to get another round in and given the wait, we did right away. Again, took another 20 minutes. Two of the four dishes in that round were very good, the other two were cold, with one being terribly cold. Finally made one last order since we had somewhere we had to be and got those 20 minutes later again, at which point we just immediately asked for our bill. Their buffet is priced very well, our server himself was very good and apologetic, and some of the plates were very good, but the wait times were horrible and half of the plates being served cold ruined the experience. Overall, was my worst dining experience of my week long Vegas trip.

The food is so amazing! Everything was great and staff was very friendly. Saturdays and Sundays are the days to go for brunch. Endless buffet

Terribly slow and inattentive service and no one seemed to care. The food itself was overpriced, overcooked, and bland. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

Kid-friendliness: The kids menu was overpriced and bland but an okay place for kids overall

My sister and I stopped here after we'd recently had breakfast, so we just had some snack foods and drinks. It's so sad we didn't have room for more. Our food was AMAZING, and our waitress was stellar.

We had chips, salsa, and guacamole. Saw someone else's deviled eggs and managed to snag one of those, too. My pomegranate limeade was the best I've ever had.

Cannot wait to bring my husband back here!

Have never had a bad meal here!

Place was loud, had a House Margarita that was bland and boring, tasted like a premade mix. Never made it past the guacamole since I found a piece of plastic in it from the bag it was obviously squeezed iout of. Not a great experience. Server and manager were nice and comped my drink. Was hoping for more and left disappointed and hoping I did not swallow any of that plastic.

The food was phenomenal and super quick so if you are in a rush it's a good place to stop by.

Between 2 of us we had 4 dishes here and got two refunded. The Nachos and enchiladas were great but both the chicken and beef quesadillas were poor and inedible. Staff very pleasant and helpful but location lacks atmosphere.

As a longtime fan of Border Grill, I am so sad to have to write a negative review for the one in Las Vegas. The quality of the food was terrible. We did the brunch. First, everything came out cold or tepid. The flavors were either bland or just plain bad, in particular the enchilada which I swear tasted spoiled and I almost spit out (not at all a common occurrence for me). Something has definitely changed at this location from the last time we were here in 2021. Such a bummer. (Our only compliment goes to our server who was great.)
