Been a fan of Border Grill going back nearly 25 years ago when they opened on the promenade in Santa Monica. Great experience, good service only complaint is that the chairs on the patio are too low for the table. Felt like we were sitting in kids chairs lol. Other than that everything was great ! We enjoyed their delicious cauliflower tacos, their chicken enchiladas were phenomenal and their tortilla chips and guac, as simple of a dish that it is, are probably the best I’ve ever had at any restaurant. They must be made their housemade tortillas ? Excellent lime margarita. Definitely as good as the old days dining at Border Grill SM.Vegetarian options: Their vegetarian cauliflower tacos are excellent !

The food is far away from tasting like mexican food. Not sure what they want it to taste like. Would never recommend to anyone.

Food was ok but not earth shattering. Value for price paid was low. Cocktail I ordered was not built properly and was not shaken. Led to a lackluster experience. Server was very nice and prompt.

Roland at the bar was awesome. Gave us the inside scoop and had great recommendations. Their house tequila shot with the 7 day cure in pineappleWas a great way to finish off a taco excursion that started with a salsa and guac. Had the shrimp taco appetizer then followed it up with the taco trifecta. All of them we amazing including the cauliflower ?! Glad we just posted at the bar, service was quick and everything on point

It took over 15 minutes before our waiter acknowledged us and then another five plus minutes to take our order. We did receive water within a few minutes of arriving. Several of the dishes were extremely salty; especially the dishes with avocado.
We waited 20 minutes for a waiter to come get us drinks. We had to go to the happiest stand to get someone. When he finally came over he seemed irritated that we were in his section, apparently there was some confusion. He was pushy and didn't explain the menu or ordering processes. We ordered bottomless mimosas. He brought out a bottle and then took 10 more minutes to get juice and glasses. We saw him so infrequently that it felt like a waste of money to do the bottomless. He was slow in between rounds of food, so there was a significant wait time between things. He was really rude and it was a bummer because we love this place but I'm not sure we will be back now.

Plantain Empanadas are in top 2 Appetizers on my list of best ever. The Short Rib enchiladas are amazing! Definitely something to order! Blood Orange Marg was really good.

Great gluten free restaurant! A little difficult to find, follow signs for the Shark Reef and you'll find the restaurant. Service was extremely fast and friendly, highly recommend!
