Blue Mesa Grill serves a delightful selection of Mexican and American Southwest dishes that are lighter in fat and calories and richer in taste than the usual for this cuisine. Our very recent meal there was wonderful and very reasonable in price for a sit down dinner in a very nice restaurant. Reservations needed for busy weekend nights.
Extremely popular bar with buffet goodies during happy hour and big sporting events.
The fellow with me ordered a serving of quesadillas called 'Shrimp, Mango and Roasted Pepper'. One of three quesadilla selections on offer. The presentation was attractive, the flavors fresh and distinct and the price great at $8.50 for an appetizer that he had for his entire meal. It is very easy to fill up here as every meal includes a basket of fresh fried variety corn and yam chips with two freshly made fire-roasted salsas.. Neither sauce is extremely hot. This is not 'kill you' hot salsa territory. The flavors are good, not destructive.
After a long and hard workday, I ordered a fabulous bowl of soups. Yes, two soups in one bowl: the Painted Desert Soups, which are black bean and corn chili chowder. At $3.95 for this large portion, it is a real bargain in these days of rising prices.
This restaurant (and others by the same name all over north Texas) is a real find. It is near the Fort Worth Zoo and the Museum District.
