Mesa Grill

Caesars Palace 3570 Las Vegas Blvd S Las Vegas, NV 89109

You do not have to travel to New York to taste the best. The awesome thing about Las Vegas is that most celebrity chefs are opening up locations right along the strip! One of them is Bobby Flay's, Mesa Grill. Mesa Grill's menu gourmet, Southwestern food - it's short, simple, and to the point. For brunch (Sat - Sun only from 10:30am - 3pm) there are 5 appetizers and about 12 entrees. 
If you have been living in a cave for the past 10 years, Bobby Flay is a celebrity chef featured on the Food Network. His most famous show is Boy Meets Grill and he is also America's Iron Chef.

I wanted sangria to drink and I ordered a mojito before I discovered that Mesa is really known for their margaritas. They will live and die by the margarita. Being that it was brunch time, I will save this for next time.

The server informed us that everything on the menu has some heat to it. However, Flay likes to the play of sweet and spicy so that there is a perfect balance so that it is not overwhelming the taste palette. I especially like this because I am a little sensitive to spicy. Heat, I like - spicy, no likey. I do not like red pepper flakes on my pizza. I remove the wasabi if its on my nigiri sushi. That's how sensitive I am. 

Spicy Chicken + Sweet Potato Hash with Poached Eggs + Green Hollandaise

For $18, you get this pretty dish. Once plate has been set in front of you, you are immediately impressed at the presentation. You really feel like you are about to eat something special. All the ingredients are mixed together so you get every flavor in every bite. The poached egg is soft and runny and blends nicely with the spicy chile hollandaise. On a heat scale of 1-10, this is a 7. The ONLY thing about this dish is that it lacks texture. You get a little crunch from the crispiness of the sweet potato hash, but that's about it.

Scrambled Eggs Chilaquiles

For $15, you get scrambled eggs and white cheddar cheese layered in between 3 fried, blue corn tortillas. Topped with roasted tomatillo sauce and creme fraiche! Each bite was tasty, crunchy, exciting, and had really mild heat - 2/10. Out of the 2 dishes, this one by far was the best. It also came with a fistful size of roasted potatoes - the best I have ever experienced! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and had the perfect amount of seasoning. Maybe they used bacon fat to crisp up the potatoes.
