blue mesa grill

great bartenders. great tequila selection good tacos. wish they had refried beans though

blue mesa has an awesome patio, décor, and great service. the menu is not mexican. it's southwest, which i think is under represented in dallas. the food is great. try their specialty, the adobe pie.

this is not tex mex. it's southwestern type cuisine. the adobe pie is awesome.

bad customer service. very uncleanly. employees here dont get paid on time.

blue mesa has the worst food. the salsa is too diluted and the guacamole had no seasoning, it was too drab. we did the sunday buffet, there were 18 in my party at $27 per person. a real waste of money. the food was wasted because it was served cold and unseasoned.  absolutely nothing was seasoned or tasty. some of us had the salmon. it was prettily decorated but it ends there. it was cold and did not have one grain of salt or pepper, or topped with a sauce. we couldn't eat it. i tried the ginger rice it was cold but fair. i had the chicken nuggets they were the size of marbles and fried hard, but fair. i asked for iced tea since i don't drink alcohol. the waiter said they don't have iced tea but they have a passion drink. he brought me a glass of liquid the color of blueberries. it had absolutely no taste. i added two packets of real sugar and it was still tasteless. don't waste your money at blue mesa. i will never go there again! reality, a one star rating is too high.

we, party of 3, arrived around 12:30pm (peak lunch), the entry smelled of strong disinfectant we waited several minutes to be greeted. the smell was a little off-putting, but the dining area was better. there were plenty of empty tables (so, not busy), but our waiter couldn't take our order fast enough. after just a bit, he says, can i get your app in and come back? after our app arrived he came back to take order. offered no suggestions for the menu. the food (nachos, tacos & enchiladas) was mediocre at best. my daughter had ordered a tea - there were 2 on our bill. i told him about the mistake and when he came back with my credit card he had still charged me for 2 teas @ 2.95 ea! horrible lunch, worse service - won't be back!

atmosphere 10. service 10. food 10.

this place is definitely a great spot! from the moment you enter until the time you leave you are taken care of!

two choices of salsa and you get hand cut sweet potatoe chips! delicious!

had the shrimp, steak and chicken fajitas! 10/10. comes with guacamole and a fresh mango pico!

we waited a while for our waitress. we waited for drinks... another waiter had to bring them over and they were wrong. she dropped the salsa on the table causing it to splash on my white outfut. the food was less than amazing. his food had unpealed shrimp in it and my crab cakes had hardly any crab. the waitress was nowhere to be found and didn't seem to care. we will not be back.

the steak fajita was amazing! one of the best and juicest fajitas i've had in dallas... been meaning to go back for a while now to get some more goodness

what an amazing brunch! the flat rate for the buffet is a little high but when start playing the brunch maze, you'll see how worth it it is. the mimosas are the perfect touch and be sure to take your time and enjoy your sunday on the patio! everything is so fresh and replenished often so you don't feel like you're at a golden corral. highly recommend.

avocado, black bean and goat cheese street tacos. street tacos - you can choose any three tacos (on homemade flour or corn tortillas) - steak, bbq pulled pork, chicken, shrimp, or avocado-black bean-goat cheese. comes with a choice of 2 sides. plus, any time you order a taco plate, blue mesa donates 50 cents to a local charity through their tacos for a cause program.

blue mesa grill. best sunday brunch in the metroplex!

used to be a "go-to" place!. tried the new location across montfort last night. what a disappointment! the new location doesn't have the same authentic feel as the old location. menus were dirty. glasses were dirty. when we pointed out one dirty wine glass, they just poured the same wine in another glass, rather then bringing a fresh glass. we were the only ones in the place. (sunday at 6pm) lots of servers standing around. phone rang more than once before someone got it. servers were standing on bar removing christmas decorations. tortillas on my street tacos were stale. didn't bring enough chips and salsa for our party size and for everyone to be able to reach. server was not strong - a bit flaky - had been there since 8 that morning. had to ask to order another beer rather than being offered. had to move some plates to another table out of our way ourselves before they were removed. then again, had to say 4 times i wasn't done with my plate (since the tortillas were so stale, i slowly gathered leftovers from everyone else to eat). we were getting such lackadaisical response, we were tired of asking for things to be corrected. afraid they were going to spit in our food or something. i'm just so disappointed! i used to love this fresh, healthy, unique, santa fe-feeling , special place!! i've been eating at blue mesas for 20 years and have even held a couple of events at the old addison location. just a real bummer!

ordered the street tacos. i wouldn't again. the meat was room temp, had no flavor and the veggies were aweful. service was slow! beer warm. do not waste your time and money.

terrible food and poor customer care. the food was cold and they reheat leftovers for brunch. the waiters rush you while you eat so they can make more money.

catered lunch.... had a blue mesa catered lunch at a work function, so while i could not give an opinion on the restaurant itself, i can still give one on the food...

pro's: the cookie was good, delivered in a timely manner, chips had potential

con's: some of the chips were "soggy", chicken bacon wrap should have been more plain

when i picked up the chicken bacon wrap i expected it to be relatively plain. instead there was a lot of avocado, which i am not a fan of. i do not believe there was cheese either. some of the chips were soggy, though the ones that were not were really good. there was a tiny portion of macaroni salad, enough for one forkful, maybe two if you had a big fork. the cookie was good!

i know that blue mesa has outstanding breakfast buffet's, but their catering left something to be desired. it almost tasted like all the stuff was made the day before, allowing the chips and and wrap to become moist. it's a "do not like" for their catering, but might go back to this location to try their normal meals, and my opinion might change.

it's trendy and a place to be seen but the food is mediocre and expensive. there are better choices in the area.
