The setting and enviroment is a Neat and colorful a blend of latin America with 70's modern design, but , If your in the mood for authentic Latin cuisine this is not the place. Found Menu to be very descripitve and inviting to try various dishes however most meals come off more like a fancy version of your typical beans and rice, with a few reduction sauces. Prices are a tad high for what you get. More attention to presentation is kept with a lack of controlled cooking. Dishes are made pretty but flavors are too strong and confusing. We glanced around the room and nobody's food looked inviting to us. The Ono fish I ordered came blackened but raw on the inside, that came off more chewy and tough than expected and was still hungry when finished. Poor execution of the dish of what sounded good. An assortment of decent mixed drinks however I had a Beer and same glass as water glasses seemed a little cheesy. Over all we were confused with what type of food this place is trying to serve if you have the money to spend on a trendy latin food that TRIES to put a zing in the typical beans and rice boring Mexican food enjoy Border Grill and its location. If you want to experience quality and expert taste and authentic Latin cooking of similar prices as Border Grill try the cuban delight, Mojitocuisine in Valencia CA.
