I am a true Mexican foodie, I have been a frequent patriot at this restaurant for happy hour Sunday brunch and even dinner, but the food was good. The service was great the waiter, but there was a roach crawling on the booth that we were sitting in then up the wall and that really just is not acceptable. This place needs to be exterminated and remodeled looking at the baseboards of the walls .They're old never paid attention before now but that's just unacceptable. I brought it to the attention of the waiter, but the manager never came over and she said she told the manager they never came over to say anything. read more

Good Tex Mex food has some different twists. The guacamole was great, barbacoa tacos were sweet and savory loved the crispy onions and the shrimp tacos were great. read more

Nice people and great food! A variety of choices and all good. Easy parking right off the highway.

WOW! Last time here was years ago before I started writing reviews on Yelp. And they did not disappoint. This was our backup supper out location as the first one was too busy again for use of gift coupon from relatives. I got a signature meal while SHE who cashes my retirement check opted for choose two to make a meal. Both were great. Timing was everything as our order got stuck behind 50 take out orders in kitchen. Bummer. But the Blue Margaritas helped pass the time. Plenty of food for both so we got lots for leftovers. read more

We love Blue Mesa! The food is always excellent! Highly recommend the queso! We also love that they have sweet potato chips too. The brisket enchiladas and Texas toothpicks were delicious, as were the blue margaritas. The waiter was also great! I only have one complaint. It was a beautiful day so we sat on the patio but the chairs were cheap, old fiberglass. We didn't notice when we originally sat down but then I felt like I had sat in an ant pile and I was getting bit. The fiberglass particles were coming off from being in the sun and were embedding in our legs. It also got in our arms from the armrests. Hours later and they still itch and hurt. It really cheapened the entire experience. read more

we love it here!! Our waitress Alicia was the best!! We love everything!! We always make the drive!!

Great brunch, atmosphere, and service The champagne could be colder and better quality! read more

Okay I know this place currently has a 3.5 star rating but I went during lunch time 11am and the server was very attentive. He made sure we had water, checked in, and was able to get us out of there back to work. I love that they give you chips and salsa and a variety of chips! I ordered the crispy corn battered chicken salad and that was probably on of the best salads I've had. The chicken was cooked and not super dry. The crust was what won me over. Corn crusted, idk who thinks of that. It was super refreshing with light dressing and I loved how there were charred corn bits that came from the cob. I had a pretty good time. read more

Definitely worth the price, both the food and the staff are both on point.. I've made this spot a once a month visit

Made reservations for a Saturday brunch around 11 before it got too crowded. The food was ok. Nothing really wowed me but there are so many options to choose from. The brunch option is of great value and the service was good. read more

Blue Mesa Grill - Brunch menu - Mexican Near Me - Plano, Texas

We went for Sunday brunch. Great price for unlimited food and mimosas! The buffet had a lot to offer. The food was ok. Nothing was hot, it was somewhat warm or close to cool. The service was great! He made sure to refill my water every time it was empty and with quickness. The room we sat in was big, but they do try and fit as many tables and parties as possible (which is great because the wait goes by quick) but it's hard to walk between tables if they are pushed together. Overall, not bad, not great, might be back, might not. read more

Blue Mesa Grill - The first round of food I had! - Mexican Near Me - Plano, Texas

It's really too bad what's happened here over the years. Food is still pretty good, but service is rather sketchy. Tonight we waited due to service issues. Decided to sit at the bar, and still waited. We eventually got our chips and salsa and then our margaritas. The latter used to be legendary. Just kind of tastes like a slurpee now. Chips aren't as good as they used to be either. Food was good, and most of my order was correct, so that's something. Luckily we didn't wait as long for our food to come out as we waited for our drinks. read more

We've been meaning to try this place for so long! I was hearing alot about their buffet breakfast on the weekends, and we finally got to try it out. They had a super expansive menu, multiple stations set up. Taco station, fresh live egg/omelette station, agua frescas, desserts, chips & dip + DIY nacho station, the list goes on... but best of all bottomless mimosas!! They are truly bottomless, and tons of fun for a weekend brunch with the girlies. The service was slow even though our waitress didn't have many tables assigned to her and the ambiance was a bit loud and busy. Definitely make a reservation before hand and check for Brunch timings as I believe they close it down at 2:30 and begin their regular a la carte dining service after that. read more

Visited the boardwalk and this was the first restaurant I passed by so I stopped to dine, the outdoor seating was perfect. Nice view and ambience. Food was good and drink was a drink;) read more

The food was mediocre at best. My Carne Asada was cooked well done and I like it rare. When someone cooks skirt steak well done it's like eating asphalt shingles. The chips and salsa are good. We had a training server and she couldn't answer a lot of our questions. I don't like that they don't put away the equipment from Sundays brunch. The decor is typical of Southwest/ Mexican restaurants. read more

2019 Yelp 120 Challenge - #107 I visited Blue Mesa Grill in December for my schools holiday party and honestly I was highly disappointed. It is a little hard to understand the layout of the restaurant because I only saw the bar area and a big dinning area for hosting parties. In the bar area there is a few seating options available and there is a special discount or menu item when ordering a Happy Hour drink. I did enjoy a blue margarita on the rocks and it was delicious. The beautiful bartender was very attentive and very helpful with suggestions. The reason for the 2 star review because with this being a restaurant the food was mediocre. I have honestly had better seasoned chicken and steak from a gas station bar. I am unsure if this was because of the select holiday part menu but I was not impressed. I was happy to try Blue Mesa Grill because I have tried serval other eateries and they area and they all delivered. read more

Blue Mesa Grill - Happy Hour Blue Margarita - Mexican Near Me - Plano, Texas

Best Mexican buffet I've had! It always hits the spot! The sides are plentiful with many beans, potatoes and rice dishes to choose from. The brisket and ham at the carving station to the cedar planked salmon. There is a chicken (fried and baked) and waffle station with French toast and it's all so fresh. There is a taco station with a little something for all! And did I mention the omelet and dessert bar. Mercy! This place is heaven and with mimosas included for only $26! You won't be disappointed. read more

Blue Mesa Grill - Menu - Mexican Near Me - Plano, Texas

Came here for a birthday celebration on a Sunday afternoon. I didnt have high hopes after looking at the reviews, but I will admit the food was not awful. But I certainly did not think this place went above and beyond in any facet. I like that they offer not only white corn chips, but also blue corn and sweet potato chips. The chips were standard, with a generous amount of salt added to them. They offered two types of salsa: a mild, chunky picante like salsa and a liquidy chipotle salsa. The chipotle was actually bold in presence, and it would be the last time I taste something with any strong flavor in this meal. I didnt order any cocktails because the majority of them were lime ginger and some type of fruit with tequila. They keep the list simple and I shouldnt expect much. The coconut battered fried shrimp was OK, but its quite inferior to somewhere like Chuys, which has a delicious, crispy, golden brown outside. Blue Mesa's shrimp did have a good amount of coconut flakes on it, but the batter is super thin, and gets lost in taste after a few seconds. As usual youre paying a dollar per shrimp with the quantity that you get. The sauce that it comes with taste just like 1000 island dressing. I initially attempted to order the mesa sampler, but I ended up with the mesa combo (which is an entree). This may have been my fault as I may have used the word combo instead of sampler. The waiter was super nice to get the mesa sampler made for me free of charge, even though I told him I would gladly eat what was in front of me. So I ended up trying a lot of stuff, even if I was stuffed to the gills. The mesa combo reaffirmed this is for Midwesterners. Super sweet corn masa with a touch of beef flavor, a cheese enchilada with no other distinguishable quality over than the glob of cheese on the inside and outside, and a steak taco that was satisfying, but did not have any resemblance of what I would find at a taqueria. I will say though the steak was actually juicy. Dont know how its prepared or cooked, but I applaud them for NOT turning the meat into a hockey puck. My thoughts are the same on the carne asada I got to try, which was The cilantro lime rice they serve is hot garbage. Dont bother eating it unless you want the extra filler. Even though I was full, I still received the mesa sampler. I honestly did enjoy the nachos and taquitos. The nacho had a great ratio of meat and cheese on the chip that stayed crispy, the taquitos did taste like something like I could buy at the grocery store, but dumped in a deep fryer. I could taste the marinated pork, which I was pleasantly surprised by. The quesadillas are just straight cheese, with no real discerable meat flavor. These felt like something that would have came from the kids menu. They give you a generous amount of guacamole and sour cream on the plate. Lets face it - if youre eating here, its probably because its out of convenience of being on the boardwalk. Its not because you wanted truly authentic flavors that permeate abuela's kitchen. I dont want to call this Tex Mex but rather West-Mex in how everything tasted (look up Taco Johns if you dont know what I mean). I need to stress that even though my critical review of the food, I can still enjoy it for what I consider it, and not how they advertise it. While there are pepperings of southwest flavors and dishes throughout the menu, its a far cry from anything that would be served in New Mexico or Arizona. If you like your food bland or just love cheese and corn oil than this is the place for you! read more

Blue Mesa is in our heavy rotation, and everything is consistently great. We always ask for Marvin who is an excellent server. Today, he encouraged us to try the sopapilla cheesecake, and it was another home run. Big crowds on a Saturday for brunch which is stellar but we enjoy the menu better. read more

Food was lukewarm, and service was awful. Would not recommend. Bartender seemed annoyed to be there, and to service others. They were NOT busy at all do for the food to not be steaming hot was surprising. Never again. I would give zero stars if I could. read more

Only been to brunch a few times. Wide assortment of food and most, simply delicious.. wait staff hit or miss but since buffet style limited interaction. read more

Convenient location next to the office, ok food. Nothing outstanding that I'll hurry back to get again. I ordered two tacos-one chicken, one steak. They were not bad, but the tortilla shells were pretty dry. The beans and rice were overwhelming and kind of melted into each other on the plate. One member of our group had a food allergy, so we made our server aware. He was very interested in the allergy and made sure to check, double check and triple check with the kitchen about ingredients. He kept coming back to the table reporting back what he learned. At first, it seemed helpful, but after awhile it became a bit much. We even overheard him telling the table next to us about her allergy. She felt really uncomfortable, even though her order was precise and did not have anything she was allergic to. May come back, just because it's easy to get to at lunch, but it might not be my first choice. read more

Blue Mesa Grill - Chicken and steak tacos. - Mexican Near Me - Plano, Texas

Best brunch in DFW (Saturday and Sunday)! We've been coming to Blue Mesa for over 16 years. The Plano location is our favorite. We've been here so many times we consider our favorite servers like family (ask for our favorites, Paige or Thomas, but all the staff are great). Blue Mesa has weathered through the covid shutdown and have come back nearly back to the pre-pandemic greatness. And, even after the price raises we've seen over 15+ years, it still is the best brunch deal in town. Street taco station with amazing guacamole, fresh waffles, fried chicken, brisket, salmon, omelet station, breakfast faves like amazing home fries, biscuits and gravy, house special Adobe pies, black beans, cilantro rice, corn cake, excellent mac and cheese, grilled veggies, plus house made sweet potato chips and salsa, great dessert spread, including churro balls, apple cobbler, dessert pudding and assorted fruit. We love their amazing cinnamon coffee, freshly whipped cream and strawberry topping, and Agua Fresca! And, that's not all, mimosas and poinsettias are included in the brunch price. They have outdoor seating and a fantastic ambiance indoors, albeit a bit noisy near capacity. If we have friends or family in town for a weekend, we usually take them out to Blue Mesa. read more

Sub par at best! Who makes street tacos on flour tortillas???!! I always wondered why this place never had any people and all of the other patios are packed?? Now I know and we wont be coming back! read more

I attended a brunch event and the area we were in with the bar was crowded. It was a challenge to place a food order. As a gastric sleeve patient I'm not able to take advantage of a buffet and paying over $20 for food I cannot physically eat a full plate is not financially sound for me. I had to check with the bartender who was our group server for my food once I was able to place my order. I ordered the chicken burrito bowl. The flavor was great, experience would've been better if my food was hot. From scanning the room alcoholic drinks seemed to be the way to go. read more
