   Great brunch spot. They offer buffet style menu that they bring to your table. The food was great. Would eat here again & recommend!

   This place has fallen off. After a good experience a couple of years ago, returned and was highly disappointed. Service, food, and ambiance all bad. Took 45 minutes for drinks to arrive. Food was forgotten and came out wrong. Some dishes had clearly been sitting under the heat lamp for way too long. Menu changes were not an improvement. In the past, dining room had a view of the pool. Now some sort of wall obstructs the view and makes you feel trapped. Won’t be back.

   The food was delicious- I had the tacos Al pastor with pineapple salsa & my husband had the poblano chicken enchiladas. My Jamaica mule cocktail (mixed with a hibiscus ginger beer)was refreshing with just the right amount of alcohol.

   We’re celebrating double birthdays in our party while on a Vegas Vacation. Food was meh. Service was meh. No acknowledgement of special day although was mentioned verbally and written in our original reservation request. Honestly felt like eating at a chipotle. :0(

   Border Grill, what can I say! The flavors in each dish we ordered were perfectly balanced, and the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh. The Poblano Chicken enchiladas were cooked to perfection! House made tortillas, the sauce was bright and delicious. The Diablo tacos were melt-in-your-mouth and the presentation was beautiful. They had an incredible additive free tequila selection, Cierto, Don Fulano, Fortaleza, Lalo, Cazcanes, Flecha Azul and Dos Caras…. I hope to see some Siempre in the future. And the staff were like family, very family oriented environment.

   I tried the Weekend Brunch Buffet, and the food was absolutely amazing—every dish was delicious, and I always wanted more! However, there were some issues with the kitchen that made the experience feel a bit slow at first. The kitchen tends to get overwhelmed, which leads to delays in getting the food out. Since the plates are small, it only takes about two minutes to eat each dish. Once you place another order, it takes about 10 to 15 minutes for the next round to arrive, and the cycle repeats. This made it feel like it took too long to get full. It ended up taking me about an hour before I finally felt satisfied. At first, I thought it wasn’t great value for the money because of the long wait times, but toward the end, the kitchen sped up, and food started arriving much more quickly. By the time I left, I was completely stuffed and happy with the experience. I think the experience would be even better if they switched to a walk-up buffet where guests could get their own food, which would reduce the pressure on the kitchen and staff. Another option could be offering larger portion sizes to reduce the need to constantly order more dishes. Despite the delays, the wait staff was absolutely fantastic, and I appreciated how attentive and friendly they were. Overall, it’s a great spot, but the kitchen definitely needs more support to make the experience smoother.
