This busy restaurant's massive, colorful murals -- a bit primeval -- are a perfect complement to modern interpretations of ancient Mayan dishes such as cochinita pibil (achiote-marinated pork). Other favorites include a wild-mushroom quesadilla, vinegar-and-pepper-grilled turkey, and daily ceviche specials. Celebrity chef-owners Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger display a passion for Mexican cuisine ... more

Border Grill is an overpriced, upscale Mexican place in Santa Monica.
