- I've seen several videos on the weekend brunch at the Border Grill but I haven't seen much on dinners and so I decided to take a trip to the Mandalay Bay to get some Mexican food. I was very surprised with the number of vegetarian options at the Border Grill so I was excited to try a lot of dishes because

The ladies that started that restaurant are celebrity chef superstars especially back in the day. Chefs Susan Feniger and Sue Milliken. Thanks for posting
I did not know that! That's great to find out! Thanks for watching Ryan!
They had a popular show back when the food network was just a couple of years old called 'too hot tamales'. I remember my mom watching them when I was a kid.
Yay! It’s Saturday and we get a Shin video!
I'm happy to be a part of your Saturday! Thanks for watching!
Oh, lots of delicious food packed full of flavor! And the presentations are just so colorful and beautiful, too. I wanted to crawl through the screen to get to that Short Rib Enchilada. 😊🎉
Really pretty food at Border Grill and some good flavors also. Thanks for watching!
Aloha Shin! No one has reviewed the dinner menu, so thank you. Fun fact, I used to do tech support for a restaurant POS system and the CA Border Grill was a client. We are talking 1998! Mahalo for the big words and big bites!
Nice! I had never been to the LA location but I didn't know it's been there that long. Very cool! Thanks for watching Lu!
Wow Shin this review was out of this world fantastic! When you took a bite and your eyes rolled... I just knew it hand to be wonderful.Thanks so much for treating us to this experience.❤🌮🌯
I really liked the food at the Border Grill. I had some of the best vegetarian dishes in a long time here. Happy to hear you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching Diana!
I love empanadas, the plantain ones looked interesting
Yes! That plantain empanada was really good. Thanks for watching panjo!
I have to agree with many of the comments here. The food is absolutely spectacular to look at. The presentations and those colors, as well as tasting good for the most part. And some, to me at least, very original recipes. Those plantain empenadas looked so good, as well as that enchilada trio. So happy you had such nice dining experience.
I really enjoyed the culinary variety and creativity here. And as an aside, these were some of the best vegetarian dishes I've had in a long time. Thanks for watching!
Your face after taking the first bite of the dessert is epic Shin! I was just at Border Grill in May. Your video makes me want to go back again in a couple weeks. Happy Sunday! 👀😎🌴⛲😂
Nice! I loved that churro. So good! I hope you have a great trip in a few weeks Amy! Thanks for watching!
Oh nice! Lots of brunch videos there but I’ve been curious what their normal menu was like. Thanks Shin!
Yes! I'm happy to show off another side of the Border Grill. Thanks for watching Jay!
Hi Shin. Nice video! I used to frequent the DTLA location about 20 yrs ago with friends. Their food and drinks were always delicious and spot on with their own creative flair. Then I watched their show "Too hot tamales" on the food network some years later. Lastly I had the extreme pleasure of meeting Susan Feniger about 5 years ago. She was extremely kind and humble. IMO you can never go wrong with their food! Also it seems that they've kept their prices relatively low compared to most LV strip restaurants. For the price point you really are in for a TREAT dining there. Thanks as always for sharing friend!
I used to go to the DTLA location also. Many years ago, Susan F would come table to table to say hi and see how you liked the food. I loved it !
Very nice! I had never tried their LA location but other commenters have said it was great also. I also agree that the prices were much more fair here than some other locations on the strip. Thanks for watching!
Shin I rely a great deal on your facial expression if you like something. That is why I follow you and your descriptions are spot on!!
I try my best to call it like I taste it and my face can't lie lmao. Thanks for watching!
Oh yes, my kind of food, Mexican but prepared in such an interesting, sophisticated way. I really appreciated the lovely vegetable toppings on everything. Thanks, Shin, for another beautifully descriptive commentary on all that luscious food!
Yes! Great presentation and elevation of classic Mexican fare. Thanks for watching Ingrid!
I didn’t realize their menu was that big. Thank you Shin for such a through and detailed video! Much appreciated! Have a great weekend ❤
I also didn't know too much about their dinner menu but I'm really happy I checked them out. Some really great flavors here at Border Grill. Thanks for watching!
Hii Shin!! I am so glad you reviewed Border Grill. I have been there several times over the years because we always stay at the Delano. You tried many of the items that I’ve been wanting to try but never have. I have to agree the Yucatán Pork bowl looked like a winner as well as the shrimp tacos. I will definitely be trying those next time I’m there. Great video as always! See ya Tuesday.
Yes! Thank you Diane! I'm a fan of Border Grill also. I hope you like the new dishes when you try them again. Thanks for watching!
That bite on the plantain empanada looked a 10/10 .
Plaintain chips with that aguachiles looked so heavenly.
Shame the green chicken enchilada didn't do justice as the green sauce are quite tasty.
🍤🍤🍤🍤🍤🍤🍤🌮 need extra shrimp we can agree.
Cauliflower taco needs more loving.
Hmm I wonder how it would taste if the prime rib taco has a horshradish/avocado cream sauce...
That chorizo potato n cheese may be tasty in a taco.
Yucatan pork looked like a gold medal winner just by the way you took that bite shin :)
That churro reminds me of a puff pastry , that smile shin wins a gold medal for taste and presentation .
Wish you tried the mexican bread pudding (capirotada).
Great vid shin 🎉
I was debating between the churro ice cream sandwich and the bread pudding but my server recommended the ice cream sandwich. I'm sure the bread pudding was incredible also. Maybe next time. Thanks for watching!
LOVE this restaurant now for over a decade or more.
It's so good! I've had their brunch once before I started CZcams but I actually really like their dinner menu! Thanks for watching!
Hey cool! Border Grill is always one of my favorites when I hit Vegas. Thanks Shin!!
A very nice restaurant! Thanks for watching!
Shen ! What a fantastic food find for you and for us ! First I would have to snag an outdoor table overlooking whatever it is I'd over look LOL ! Next, I loved that you enjoyed almost all the dishes immensely and few were mediocre considering the volume ordered. I love a good authentic corn tortilla so theirs are great, and also the fresh salsas and toppings yum ! That cauliflower taco has my heart. Vampiro tacos are glorias too - like you said - double the shrimp please. But the piece de resistance of the video for me was your silent swoon reaction to your desert - SO HAPPY you were so happy ! Cheers and love your channel. M.
That patio overlooking the lazy river of the Mandalay Beach is actually amazing. In some slightly cooler weather, I would try and eat outside exclusively. Great food at Border Grill too! Some of the best vegetarian recipes I've had. Thanks for watching!
@@VegaswithShin Great to know - a table over looking that lazy river that I would have just come from, mind you, along with that wave pool - will be a must as I love people watching LOL. All your dishes looked great and yes, finding good vegetarian meals is the best, that way we have zero guilt having a Las Vegas think cut charred medium rare rib steak !!! 🙂
Always my pleasure to support positive people, yqw buddy ❤
Shin!!! I'm so glad you ordered the cauliflower tacos! But dang those plantain empanadas. So happy for you!!
The vegetarian options at Border Grill are really good! I was happy too lol. Thanks for watching Holly!
Any Feniger and Milliken resto is going to be excellent, thanks for the review!
Yes! I just learned that this was their restaurant recently. Very good stuff here Keith! Thanks for watching!
You looked like a kid on Christmas after that first bite of the churro ice cream sandwich ❤
That dessert was heaven lol. I loved it. Thanks for watching Ashley!
Shin I gotta tell ya I really look forward to your videos, thanks my friend 😃
I'm happy to hear you enjoy my videos! Your support is appreciated! Thanks for watching!
All of the dinner food looks really good. The tacos looks good and the churro ice cream sandwich looks super good. I've always been tempted to go there for brunch when Evo was at Mandalay Bay.
I had the brunch once during an EVO in the past and it was good! Did you see that I wrote the official EVO food guide for this year? I was very proud of my article lol. Thanks for watching Jerry!
@@VegaswithShin No way! I have to read that now. That is awesome Shin!
Yay! More veggie options. Thank you so much for showing me what my options are 😊
You got it! These were some of the best vegetarian dishes I've had in a while. Very good! Thanks for watching!
So pumped for this one!! This restaurant has always been on my radar but we haven’t managed to get there! I’ll have to rectify that my next trip!!
Yes! They have some very good food here and lots of variety for dietary restrictions. Thanks for watching!
Nice to see what dinner's like here for a change (instead of their brunch items). Really craving plantains right now...
Yes, I was curious what the dinner was like as well. The brunch is a great value but only available on the weekend so I wanted to show what you could get everyday. Thanks for watching!
Great looking food...not my cup of tea...enjoy your dinner...Til Tues...have a great weekend ❤😊
Thanks Jade! See you Tuesday!
Hope to meet you next week when I'm in Vegas! Great review.
Nice! I'll likely be filming on the strip Tuesday evening as work schedule permits so maybe I'll catch you then! Have a great trip! Thanks for watching!
Very nice presentations of Mexican/South of the border cuisine!! The rib eye looked good as well . Driving out to Vegas tomorrow. Gonna try your Italian recommendation. Nora's on Flamingo Rd... looks good to me. Will let ya know.... cheers my friend...❤
Yes! I hope Nora's is good. I hope you like it and please let me know what you thought! I have them in my locals spreadsheet and maybe I'll push them up if it's good. Thanks for watching!
Everything looks amazing 😊
Such pretty and visually appealing dishes at Border Grill for sure. And some really great flavors also! Thanks for watching!
Whooooooooooooaaa delish!!
Yes! A good one here! Thanks for watching David!
Another great review. Ty😊
Thank you very much Laura!
Another great video! Definitely have to try the dinner menu. I've been for their All You Can Eat Weekend Brunch (a must try). Great review!
Brunch is definitely great. I was happy with their dinner as well. Thanks for watching!
I love your videos that pork looked wonderful and that dessert yum ❤
Th food here was very good! I like Border Grill a lot. Thanks for watching Lori!
Ohhhhh. Delish!
Yes! Some really tasty dishes at Border Grill! Thanks for watching!
VWS: Border Grill food looked fantastic but admittedly I love Mexican food. Although overpriced for sure I'd probably give this restaurant a try. Thanks for the review and see you Tuesday Peace ✌️ Out !
More economical way to give it a try is the weekend brunch of unlimited small plates for $45. Different menu but good variety
@vegasvan2000 yes I've seen that reviewed by Tim Lee great value but I think Shin wanted to go thru his normal process. Either way great stuff.
Some very good flavors here definitely Al. Thanks for watching!
Haven't been back to the Border Grill since they relocated from Caesar's, and I just never seem to make my way over to Mandalay Bay. Food looked good & colorful tho, especially the empanadas.
It's a bit inconvenient to go to the south strip but they do have great food here. Thanks for watching!
Great review, Shin! Your comment about the multi-colored tortilla with the cauliflower taco reminded me of my thoughts of tri-color tortilla chips. They are awful and I never order anything that has them included in a menu description. Something about them doesn't even taste like tortilla chips. Will be in Vegas in September so planning out places to eat from your videos. Ciao!
Yeah I'm not sure why they're just never as good lol. Gimmicks can be fun but I really just want good texture and flavor. September will be here very soon! I hope you have a great trip! Thanks for watching!
WOW! That looks delicious!
Really good food here. I liked it a lot. Thanks for watching!
awesome review!!!
Thank you very much!
Nice dishes. Tks Shin. Karla in Cali.
Very good dishes here Karla! Some of the best vegetarian recipes I've had in a long time. Thanks for watching!
Shin, I love your videos and hope to cross paths with you next time I get back into town!
Thank you! I'm on the strip every week so it's possible! Thanks for watching and your support!
Another great review of this strip eatery, have you tried Javier's in the Aria? has similar vibe of this place but they specialize in their moles. Thanks for the video.
I have eaten at Javiers though not for a video. I think Javiers was on my 2025 spreadsheet if I remember correctly. I used to go relatively often to the one in Irvine CA when I lived there a decade ago. Great food, super expensive lol. Thanks for watching!
I’m suing you for causing starvation as it all looks amazing!
Lol! Have your people contact my people. Thanks for watching!
I like your shirt!
Thank you! I own 29 of them!
Oh the dichotomy of it all.
Indeed! Thanks for watching!
Excellent review
Thank you very much!
👍🤠
Thanks for watching Vickie!
This is probably not something you would care to address in your comments but as a resident of Vegas what is your feeling on the shooting as a whole & how it was before and how it’s bounced back since?
Personally I would visit Vegas 3-4 times a year almost always Luxor, Mandalay, Caesers, Venetian. I watched live on TV the whole event and when it happened I didn’t go back for a couple years after.
-Food looks amazing, great video. ❤
I was not a resident during that time but it's heartbreaking and very sad. It does feel like tourists have forgotten though. I know that statistically, the likelihood of going through that again is low. Even 100 people out of 40 million+ visitors a year is an astronomically low chance. But it's still something that lives in the back of our minds. I hope security and other measures are able to keep that kind of incident from occurring again. Thanks for!
We use to love going to the location at the forum shops and haven’t been since it closed. Definitely gotta make our return there! Also, any plans to do Best Friend soon? It’s one of our favorites and we’re looking forward to seeing you review it
I have Best Friend on the list but I don't think it's until next year. I could see about pushing it up to later this year. Thanks for watching!
First 😊
Thanks for coming to support early Jade!
I'm curious Shin, how much did you have to fiddle with the audio on this one? It sounded SO loud and noisy in the background, I have to imagine it was a nightmare trying to isolate the background without nuking your personal audio no? First thing I thought of was how the background noise was just crazy at this place lol and I've been there and it was never that busy to be so darn noisy like that (then again I went at basically when they were closing on a Monday night - like 9:45, I think they close at 10).
The audio was a bit extra in this one for sure. It was a packed house and I had people very close to me. I tried my best lol. Thanks for watching!
@@VegaswithShin Yeah, it seemed way louder than some of the recent places you've been to. I don't know if I just noticed it more, or it just was louder. But yeah, next time just fart once or twice and you'll clear things out :D
Yqw buddy ❤😊
AWSOME SHOW???????
Thank you!!
Do you have a patreon acct? Sue
Those prices are way out of line! Would never pay that much for tacos and enchiladas.
I am not on Patreon. Thanks for watching!
Absolutely the worst music to use as background to the romantic Amalfi Coast. Other than that, great video.
Are you commenting on the right video? Last I checked, Mexico is not very close to Italy
Too bad the food is not colorful lol..
Lmao! Seriously so drab. Thanks for watching!
