Border Grill - Santa Monica, California

POST IN PROGRESS

This is not the first time that I've been here, and it definitely won't be my last.  I first dined here in 1999, before visiting the Las Vegas outpost, located at the Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino, back in 2001.  I definitely look forward to my next visit here.

Hello Reid....that top photo of the Santa Monica pier, kept throwing me off....I thought mistakenly that your posts weren't being updated after many previous visits here. The complimentary chips is well presented, with sauces in triplcate. Mexico flag? Nice start.

Mmm . . . looks good. Gotta try out Border Grill. Being a rice junky I am enticed by what looks like a plate in one of the photos with two different types of rice.

Such a fancy place Reid? But I guess you pay for the ambience? I still prefer the greasy spoons like El Abajeno nearby in Culver City or Tito's taco. Glad you enjoyed it. Lots of good eating place is west LA.

Equipment


  • Canoneos5d
    Canon EOS 5D

    Most of the newer photos on this site are being taken by this camera. I'm still learning how to use it, but I think the photos it takes are amazing. Though the lens I use often varies, many of the photos on this site are taken with a Canon EF 35mm f2.0 lens.


  • Dscu40r
    Sony Cyber-shot® DSC-U40

    A majority of the photos on this site were shot using this little camera. It was compact and discreet -- excellent for taking photos under most conditions. Sadly, it has recently died.
