Border Grill

Editorial Review

Creative native offers redemption for all your late-night seven-layer burrito runs to the border. Ciudad big sis still jumps with those who love the namesake show and book for rock shrimp ceviche, manchego y cotija chilaquiles, plantain empanadas and high-brow tequilas. Off nights are common, but when it's on, you'll see what makes a survivor. Sur American dishes with a Sur-Western twist crisscross a crowd of upwardly mobiles in this LOUD, colorful fiesta.
