I?m just a valley girl, but I was visiting friends in Santa Monica all day last weekend, and decided since I was at the beach all day, I wanted seafood for dinner. So we went to a Mexican place? I was skeptical when my friends first suggested Border Grill for seafood; because they were in the mood for something else. Didn?t think I?d be happy with the seafood at a Mexican place, but then I ordered the Pescano Veracruzano. It was delicious, who knew olives on fish could be so good. It was probably one of my favorite seafood experiences ever. Also, what?s great about Border Grill is they are very aware of the environment ? all sustainable seafood (there seafood isn?t helping to deplete the oceans), they serve Canadian Seafood (in support of the Humane Society protest of the Seal Hunt), and they don?t have any Tuna or Swordfish on the menu due to high mercury content. Not only was my stomach satisfied, but was so was my brain, OK so I obtained my knowledge solely due to the fact that I was trying to keep conversation flowing between the cute manager, Nathan, and myself ? but it didn?t hurt that he was smart either. So if you?re in Santa Monica and suddenly find yourself stuck in a group with a lot of different cravings, go to Border Grill, there?s pretty much something for everyone.
Pros: Environmentally Friendly
Cons: A little noisy
