Border Grill Brunch in Las Vegas is intense. All you can eat for $35 - I counted 22 dishes on the brunch menu, we tapped out at 9. These weren't your run-of-the-mill buffet offerings that Vegas is known for - these are tried and true dishes from Chefs Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger. The food is bold - modern takes on Mexican favorites. The decor is wild and funky, the murals gave me a festival vibe fitting the style of the food. We opted to sit outside on the patio, overlooking the empty Mandalay Bay pools - brunch is served on Saturday and Sunday from 10am-3pm. If you can't make it out to Vegas but live in Southern California, Border Grill Downtown LA just announced their weekend brunch for $19.99!
Guava Empanadas and Banana Bread
Fresh Mango Lemonade - Border Grill made it special for me!
Green Corn Tamale - these are always a favorite wherever I go. Sweet with a little spicy is just good.
Bacon Jalapeno PBJ - it's true, bacon is good with everything. The jalapenos weren't as hot as I thought they would be but still yummy. Very filling.
Breakfast Fries - another big fave. I would totally make this at home. I wish more places made breakfast fries.
Yucatan Egg Benedict - eggs benedict are fairly new to me. I only tried them for the first time last year.
Waffle & Pork Belly with Maple Syrup - another favorite. This is crazy heavy but good. SO GOOD.
Lobster Pancakes - another favorite. Crispy leeks are everything.
Bread Pudding French Toast - again, another favorite. I am obsessed with bread pudding and have never tried it this way - it was amazeballs. I wanted to lick that decadent coconut syrup off the plate.
Fig & Blue Cheese Quesadilla - surprisingly this was good.
Churro Tots - do I even have to say anything... churros baby.
We are done. Roll us outta here!
