Oh Border Grill, how sad am I that you, somehow, inexplicably, don't have a location in the Bay Area. We would welcome you with open arms! I would single handedly pay your rent for a year the first month out! There's not just one thing that sticks out about Border Grill, but it's a culmination of everything, executed to perfection. The drinks are imaginative, strong, sweet, spicy, tangy, whatever you want them to be. The food kind of sucker punches you with how exceptionally delicious it is. I mean, I knew it'd be good, but not that good! Shouts of "WHAT IS THIS?!" accompanied by vigorous head nodding could be heard echoing throughout the restaurant with each bite of my plantain empanadas. The Oaxacan strip steak is as delectable as it is huge. And if that mesmerizing mole doesn't win you over, you don't stand a chance against the wild mushroom quesadilla. Not. A. Chance. If you're as undyingly full as we were but stubborn enough to force down a dessert because everything else was so amazing you could never live with yourself without having tried it, they do two half portions of any of the desserts so you can "share" but still get the one you want! Fair warning: the half portions are pretty much as big as a full portion anywhere else. The service is effortless. Ryan was awesome; he knew the menu inside and out, made some great recommendations, and gave us good tips for ordering. Someone give the guy a raise! The ambience is perfectly cool and casual, so we felt totally welcome to take our time ordering, just sit back and lounge and keep the drinks on coming. And all this for way less than it has any right to be! I'm just so angry! Where are you back home when I need you, Border Grill?!

I wish I can give them zero stars this place was extremely horribly with service and my service came from the head honcho I believe it was the manager or the owner!!! Some older, cranky women. I went in to have dinner with my cousin . We sat down quickly, and it all went down hill. I noticed the manager/owner greeting everyone in the restaurant expect my cousin and I !! Then we ordered our food and it took a least an hour to get 2 simple rolls. Now I'm starting to get fussy!! Then I decided to confront her and she was completely rude and was basically arguing with me!! In front of everyone and was trying to make me pay for a roll I never got. I felt as if she was trying to keep me in the restaurant and not let me out. She said the since the roll arrived at my table I need to pay !! I said I will not pay for it. (The roll got there as I confronted her time frame 1 hour and 30 min long now)! NEVER COME HERE !!! Go to NAKED FISH!! So delicious and most importantly FRESH!!!!

When this place opened it was very good. That is no longer my perception. Nothing is worse than to get cold food on a buffet. When the stir fry is tasteless you know it is time for the eatery to go on the OTL. Off the list. Food quality is cheap. They don't even have duck sauce for spring or egg rolls. Additionally the sweet and sour sauce isn't thick. It is runny and taste like sugar water. I cannot stand places that draws you in with good quality cooking and then take short cuts and distribute lower quality product months later. The food is sub par. How can you get can peaches to look like gray matter? The fruit wasn't even ripe. Watermelon was mealy. No pride in this establishment whatsoever. Do not eat here folks.
