This was our first time trying Leoncito and we really enjoyed it! I recommend trying La Sirena or the Paloma to start with drinks. Our server was awesome and made great recommendations for food. We ordered the carnitas burrito, Baja fish and barbacoa tacos, and street corn with chips and salsa. The flavors were delicious and not overdone at all, and the red salsa was actually the star of the table! The entire staff was so nice and made getting our food and clearing our table so easy. What a great spot for our date nights!

We loved Border Geill. We were looking for a patio, and this fit the bill. The food and service were great. The salsas with the chips and salsa were amazing! The only thing is the signage in Mandalay Bay is poor. There is no signage for the restaurant until you’re nearly there. It took my husband and I almost 30 minutes to find it.
