Staci Sent on 01/02/2025Best of the Best!
Choosing Blue Mesa Grill as the caterer for our November 2024 wedding was one of the best, and easiest, decisions we made throughout the wedding planning process! The personal touch was what made Blue Mesa such an unforgettable RIGHT choice! Karen Hartzell, Blue Mesa’s catering manager, was an absolute dream to work with. She always provided quick, detailed, polite responses and remained so patient, gracious, and understanding with a very overwhelmed bride! Karen was a much-needed breath of fresh air after months of scouring catering sites and reaching out to potential caterers. Not only is Karen delightful and comforting, but she works to ensure that couples have the best experience possible.
At first, I wasn’t sure that Blue Mesa would fit within our catering budget, but Karen expertly took our budget into consideration and presented us with a few different cost-effective, and delicious, options. Even better? Guests are continuing to talk about Blue Mesa’s food weeks after our wedding. Oh, and Karen even wrangled us a couple of drinks as we were waiting to take photos after the ceremony. Her demeanor and customer service excellence are unmatched. I only wish we had another reason to book her and her incredible, professional team again.Blue Mesa Grill's reply:
Staci! There will definitely be another reason to see us! You call me when we get to your first year wedding anniversary and I'll re-create your wedding dinner for you and Kevin! And anyone who was as gracious and calm as you were during iffy weather definitely deserved a cocktail during photo time! I will share you lovely comments with the staff ~ thanks so much for taking the time to review us. And me :) So glad we could all participate in your happy day! Karen -

Leigh Sent on 12/23/2024A Delicious Choice for Our Wedding Reception!
Karen and the team at Blue Mesa Grill delivered a flawless catering experience that left our guests raving! Karen guided us through menu planning with ease, offering creative ideas and professional insights that enhanced our reception. Her ability to accommodate last-minute requests, such as managing the cake cutting, demonstrated her flexibility and commitment to exceptional service.
The food was simply phenomenal. The fajitas were a crowd favorite, packed with bold, fresh flavors that had everyone returning for seconds. The mid-reception quesadilla bar was a perfect addition—our guests loved the energy boost it provided after hours on the dance floor. From the elegantly arranged buffet to the impeccably presented passed hors d’oeuvres, every detail was thoughtfully executed.
The service was just as impressive as the cuisine. The catering staff ensured that tables were quickly cleared and that every aspect of the dining experience ran smoothly. Karen’s team’s professionalism and attentiveness truly elevated our reception, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Blue Mesa Grill for any event in need of outstanding food and service.Blue Mesa Grill's reply:
I am so happy that everyone enjoyed the food so much and had such a good time! What a fun bunch of friends and family you have!! And you're right! The quesadilla bar was such a hit!
We so appreciate your thanks and compliments as well as your recommendation. It was truly my pleasure to help make your wedding day unforgettable! Wishing you the most fabulous first year of marriage!! Karen -

Megan Sent on 12/03/2024You will feel taken care of- and the food is delicious too!!
My husband and I hired Blue Mesa Grill to cater our wedding reception in August 2024 in Dallas. Karen Hartzell was our point of contact during the planning process, and she went ABOVE and beyond!! She made us feel so taken care of, from the initial tasting all the way through the wedding. She was easily available via phone whenever I had questions. I even needed a few extra things (serving dishes for our desserts and beverage dispensers) and Karen had it covered, and even reassured me in the midst of my wedding planning stress! We chose the street taco bar with full service catering and the food was absolutely delicious. We loved that chips and salsa were included for our cocktail hour. And we even had guests who were planning their own weddings, who later asked for our caterer because they loved the food. The included china, silverware, and cloth napkins all made for beautiful table arrangements, and full service catering meant I could just relax and enjoy the evening. I would 100% recommend Blue Mesa for anyone's wedding or event!Blue Mesa Grill's reply:
Thank you so much Megan for the awesome compliments! You were such a joy to work with as well ~ you made it easy to alleviate you pre-wedding stress! We are always so happy to hear that our food was a hit with everyone ~ I'd be happy to plan future weddings with ALL of your friends!! Best wishes for a happy life together! Karen -

I am a Wedding Planner and have worked numerous events with Blue Mesa as my couple's chosen caterer. No matter what team is sent out for my event, they are always professional and, on their game! Always eager to assist me in any outrageous request that might arise. The food being great is a bonus- the catering teams are divine and dang they are hustlers!!
I can't recommend them enough!

Morgan Sent on 09/27/2023amazing food
We had a wedding of about 75. Our food consisted of poblano macaroni balls, mixed quesadilla, chips, salsa, guacamole, and queso. The entrée and sides were a southwestern salad, black bean and corn salad, macaroni & cheese, smoky black beans, carene asada on onions, and the carved turkey with cranberry jalapeno relish. Everything was amazing! The staff was on top of service. The planner, Karen, was extremally helpful and the pricing was very reasonable. Highly recommend!Blue Mesa Grill's reply:
Morgan!
Thank you so much for your awesome review! We appreciate you taking the time. I truly enjoyed working with you to make your daughter's wedding such a fabulous evening. It's great to hear that all of your guests enjoyed everything.
Thank you again,
Karen

Kate Sent on 12/26/2020The Fajitas are Everything!!
When our original caterer fell through a month before our wedding, we booked Blue Mesa Grill the next day with absolutely no stress! We chose the fajita full catering package and it was phenomenal!!! Blue Mesa lets you go in and sample their menu before booking them and trust me, they treat you amazing. One of the things I loved about their catering was that they provided stoneware, silverware, and cloth napkins. During our wedding, me and my husband were served a plate with a little of everything directly to our table. And they even cut our wedding cake for us! Our guests LOVED the food. Our vegetarian, gluten free, and other allergy friends felt very accommodated for! We have been regulars at Blue Mesa for years and were so happy we chose Blue Mesa Grill for our wedding catering! -

We had so many compliments on the food!
Mexican food is just so easy and everyone can find something they like! They were very professional and responsive!
My only compliant, and this is most likely a result of the beautiful corona virus, but my point of contact changed many times which meant repeating myself a lot! But, everyone I worked with was very communicative and understanding! -

For being a crowd-pleaser, Blue Mesa is reasonably priced. I loved that in conjunction with the delicious fajita buffet we got flatware, silverware, bar staff and supplies, and people to assist with cake cutting, serving, and clean up. My guests were going up for seconds!

Hillary Sent on 12/06/2019Less Than Perfect
Overall, we were fairly pleased with our experience with Blue Mesa. The food was good, the staff was pleasant, and the margarita machine was a hit! Johneshia was easy to work with and was a pleasure at our tasting. However, we did have an issue on the wedding day. We discussed having 1 plate of vegan tacos specially made for my sister since she was our only guest with a dietary restriction. I'm not sure what went wrong, but the vegan tacos were not provided, and she ended up eating chips and salsa for dinner. Everything straight from the menu was good, but you may want to think twice about making special requests. -

Ashley Sent on 11/26/2019Absolutely delicious!
I am sooooo glad that decided to go with Blue Mesa for our catering at our wedding! To start, Alicia was absolutely amazing to work with! She was super super helpful when we did our testing, and helped to cater the menu to exactly what we wanted it to be. She allowed us to substitute items that we preferred, to ensure that we had the menu we absolutely wanted. The staff the day of the wedding was awesome! They were very professional, polite and did a great job setting things up and serving. The food was soooooo good, it tasted just as if you were eating at the restaurant. We received many compliments on how great the food tasted and the service was. Overall our experience with Blue Mesa was awesome, and I would definitely use them for catering needs in the future again. -

Carrie Sent on 01/15/2019Delicious appetizers + flexible service
Blue Mesa customized their appetizer package to meet our needs without going overboard; we couldn't be happier! The restaurant helped us figure out the menu, and we got more for the money than we expected. I especially recommend the pork empanadas. Service included one attendant to keep the buffet tidy.
