Our Guestbook
“ Wow, what a surprise! The Original Blue Adobe Grill, 144 N. Country Club Dr, Mesa, was almost a random lunch choice from a list when queried of Google. When arrived a little before noon, and there were maybe half a dozen patrons. We were promptly seated by Kay... very gracious... and we were quickly noticing the different meal/food options. Tho we new it advertised as being a New Mexican cuisine, we found it was more than that. Still New Mexican, but mixed with some great, innovative additions. First, I'm impressed with the quality paper napkins, large, thick, ready to absorb liquids that find their way to your hands and face, which they must if you want to dig in and enjoy this great food. Our water glasses were kept full, the food arrived at just the amount of time after the order was placed, letting us know it was freshly cooked. The portions were large, enough that all 4 of b is adults could bring home tonight's meal, also. Please check the photos and descriptions to see how pleased we were ”
“ The food was amazing hands down the BEST Salman I've ever had just amazing. Service was good, it's A bit loud in there so I'm not sure if our server could hear Me on A few occasions. There was A strange girl with no shoes on. Who approached Me outside on My way in who I thought was someones child at first. She wanted to know if she could just walk inside with Me like she was with Me or something But when I asked why she wouldn't tell Me So My answer was A fat No! She did at some point enter the restaurant and was very abruptly escorted right back out by the owner and asked to leave! That's when I realized that she might not be A child after all, instead she was A street walker who just looks very young! So great restaurant fanominal food location is not the best being on Country Club. Oh and be prepared to wait for A table! This was actually our second time driving there from AJ for dinner. We walked out the first time around cause we were hungry and An hour long wait wasn't happening for us that night! And they don't take reservations either! So be prepared to wait. We were told 45 minutes this night but only waited about 25 minutes. ”
“ Stacked beef enchiladas with an egg is consistently delicious. Service was scarce, and hurriedly served-they were busy and short handed. It is not the best looking place and it goes to show you that you can’t judge a book by its cover. ”
“ Make a reservation. The place was not crowded when we got there at 4:30 but was fairly full when we left. Cuisine is New Mexico style on some dishes. Really nice selection or choices available. Wait staff is friendly and accommodating. Tool the time to explain the different dishes on each side of the menu. That was very helpful in assisting the three of us in making our selections. ”
“ I’ve been to this location before, but it’s been over a year. It was nice to see that the place was still there, and the food was still on point. They also remodeled the inside, which was super cute. I ordered my favorite menu item which was chorizo chicken with vegetables. It was the same as I remembered from over a year ago. It was absolutely delicious and I highly recommend. I have to add that our waitress was very sweet and made sure to check on us several times. ”
“ Great little find!! Service was great (Lazo was our server), food was even better. And more than we needed!! Killer Margaritas were top notch!! Queso was excellent, not watery like you get at other restaurants. Works definitely return. ”
“ Shout out to Amelia for being one of the best servers I've had all year. She was great. I'd always wanted to go here and I'm glad I finally did. It's really neat inside, love the look and mixture of decor. The food...was fantastic. Every single thing was delicious. Great salsa, top cheese crisp I've ever had with real green chile and they don't stiff on the margs. The carne adovada is just to die for. The spices and the sauce...my god. Good portions of course, got to enjoy it just as much later that night. Very happy with my visit. Took my mom here for her birthday and it was a hit. Thanks! ”
“ I have lived in AZ for decades and had never been here. The food was great, unique and flavorful. The place was busy! Food came out quick and drinks were cold. Totally recommend! ”
