text: Some folks are too tied to the fact that a celebrity chef is behind an eatery. Some will go just because a chef they like is behind it, and other refuse. Forget all of that crap. Go here because the food is fantastic.\n\nRight on the casino floor, Mesa Grill is right behind Ceasar's huge sports book area, adjacent from the popular Pure night club. Behind its huge glass windows you'll find amazing upscale southwestern food. Tons of flavor (lots of peppers, spices) and a very nice variety. \n\nFirst off, dig into that bread basket as it has some killer cornbread in it.\n\nMust-try items:\ngoat cheese fundido -- c'mon. how are you not going to not love this?\nPork Tenderloin -- amazing. CRAZY good\nshrimp and grits -- satisfying\nTiger shrimp tamale -- tasty\nBlue corn pancakes -- delicious and fun\nRoasted corn -- it's a side dish, but really hits the spot.\n\nI tried the dessert churro and didn't dig it, but otherwise, very good food!\n\nOne thing: Nothing here is mild. If you're on, say, a date, and want to avoid spicy, bold food, this may not be the best place for you.
