Mesquite Grill

I’ve seen the sign that the Mesquite Grill is opened for breakfast and I’ve been wanting to give it a try for some time now. FINALLY, I was able to visit this morning and was thrilled that I did! I tried the breakfast burritos and my friend enjoyed one of the skillet breakfasts, and both were outstanding. And the home fries were amazing with a wonderful blend of onions and cilantro that’s now caused me to never want them prepared any other way. Please note that if you’re not interested in trying some of the more authentic Mexican breakfast dishes, there’s also plenty of the usual breakfast fare available. AND, their tomatillo sauce is just this side of super-​fantastic when added to eggs!
Roxanne was our server and she was highly attentive and very accommodating with all of our requests. Really, the place wasn’t lacking in anything, and when you consider that there aren’t that many breakfast options available in the area, this one is well worth trying and is now right at the very top of my list.

Mesquite Grill is right off 515 in Blue Ridge. It’s location is great if you just want to avoid the downtown area and sometimes we do. The building used to be a KFC and even though it’s been completely redone, something about the restaurant itself still has that fast food feel.
We were there for drinks and dinner last Saturday. The tables filled up fast. It was lively and energetic.
They have a full bar so you can have that practically required margarita with your Mexican meal.
The food is good but not remarkable. There is a full menu with lots of reasonably priced choices.
The service was really good, friendly and attentive.
Fun nite. We’ll go back again.

In a town like Blue Ridge there are not a lot of restaurants that offer a good range of soups. They always have four at the Mesquite Grill and all are «fit to eat.» Having been a server in the past I know what good service is and I have always had it here.

Good food. Reasonable prices. Helpful friendly staff. Chicken dishes are excellent. The chicken tastes freshly cooked over open fire.

We stopped in on a whim here on our way home from Tennessee. Glad we did! Our service was fantastic and the food was delicious.

By far the best Mexican restaurant in Blue Ridge, GA. Full of authentic flavor and spice. Nothing bland on these menus!

Great find! Served salsa and chips with small bowls of soup prior to ordering. The choices were diverse, which is great if you he some in ypur group that don’t like Mexican fare. The servings we generous and a great deal for your money. I highly recommend tortilla soup. Will definitely come back!

We’ve eaten here for lunch and dinner about half a dozen times, and gotten take-​out a few times as well. It’s always good. Very generous portions, super friendly service, fair prices (especially at lunch!) and tasty food.
Great family place, has options for kids even if they aren’t big Mexican food eaters. Mine have ordered everything from enchiladas to mac-​and-​cheese, and one exclusively orders the burrito dog. They both like the rice over the fries (which is a testament to the rice!)
The house margaritas were average, but the rest of the food more than makes up for it. Always enjoy seeing a local place do well, and their full parking lot is well deserved.

This place is wonderful! The food was great, and the service was fast and cheerful. Everything was well prepared and served with a smile. We will definitely return!

Got the veggie stuffed poblano peppers and it was tremendous. Will definitely return!

Mesquite Grill is a welcome addition to Blue Ridge. They have great TexMex food. They are fairly new, still adjusting and a few new waiters are still learning, but management is great and accommodating if your order is wrong (thank you Julie!).
I would rather eat here than at the other Mexican place in town. Food is very well seasoned and very tasty. Chips and salsa are great, so is the hot queso. Have been there four times and will certainly go again!

This place is amazing! My husband and I just happened to see it and thought we’d try it out. The outside appearance is a little off-​putting but do not let it deter you. Once inside we were completely surprised by the appearance and the staff. We were helped immediately and Laura was an incredible waitress. She explained everything after we told her it was our first time there. The food is absolutely great, and surprisingly authentic. I was delighted to see nopalitos on the menu and they were delicious. Would recommend to anyone. Great food and awesome price.

Was excited to see this new addition to Blue Ridge and it didn’t disappoint! We drove by the night before and it was packed, so we waited to try until tonight.
Please know, if you are looking for a nice adult farm to table place on your weekend getaway, this is probably not the place for you. If you are looking for good Mexican food with great service (with kids or without) or even a nice place to stop for a margarita on a girls weekend, this place is great! Nicholas, our waiter, was very attentive and we couldn’t have asked for better. Poblano peppers were excellent and so were the margaritas. They appear to have a nice outdoor patio but it was rainy when we were there– looking forward to going back in the better weather to try out the patio:)

Great food and great service. We had chicken tacos and steak fajitas. The kids had chicken strips and fries — it was real chicken breast!

Wow! This was a KFC. Not very good. We had the lunch burritos and Hunt had a appetizer poblano. Extraordinary. Perhaps the best I have ever had. I really over ate, not something I do.
To begin, the inside has been gutted and new seating installed, including new booths with attractive Mexican scenes.
A bar has been installed with liquor, wine and beer.
We were seated and salsa and chips given to us along with a ¹⁄₃ cup apiece of a Mexican noodle soup. The soup was perfect with black beans and probably a chicken base. Clearly homemade. The salsa too was homemade. Really good with large chunks of tomatoes. Could use a little more cilantro.
Hunt, my wife, had a poblano appetizer. It was fabulous with a poblano served with ground beef. It was more than enough for a linch, I got some which she shared.
I had the lunch burrito. An outstanding burrito served with a queso blanco sauce which was really spectacular. It also included black beans, rice (very interesting had corn and poblano pepper shreds. As I said before wow) and a lettuce tomato salad. Wow.
Total cost for two with tax $ 13.90.

Food was great! Family owners are very gracious! Family friendly with awesome margaritas!

Meh. There’s nothing that really stands out about this place. My shredded chicken was slightly over-​cooked, the tamale was kinda bland and I don’t think throwing corn on something makes it «tex-​mex» at all. However, they serve alcohol. So, I guess drink a little before you eat and it’ll be a little better.

Wow! This is a great place to go! Place was packed for a Tuesday evening but there was no wait for a table. Food was excellent And came out right away! Everything was very delicious, the waiter was on top of it I give this restaurant 5 stars. Great food great service we will be coming back more often!!!

What use to be a drive-​thru KFC is now a sit down Mexican restaurant. Sounds weird, right? No worries, it looks weird as well. No worries, this is actually a pretty sweet Mexican Restaurant in Blue Ridge. Could you find something nicer in Atlanta, sure. Could you find something as tasty in this price range, no.
That’s a major selling point here. It’s real cheap and the food is good for it’s price. Another selling point is how good the service here. Our server made my party of 3 feel real comfortable even though we just met. They have a good selection of happy hour drinks, so check that out. If you are ordering the chicken taco salad, consider doing the Fajita one instead. It’s less soupy. Speaking of soup, their house soup is real tasty.
Tip, they have multiple salsa to sample. Try them all out with your chips.

A+. You need to eat here.
I am from Texas so Mexican food is very personal to me. Mesquite Grill exceeded my expectations. I tried the Mexican Stew, which I can’t seem to find in Atlanta. Knocked my socks off. Rich and delicious. My sweetheart got the Vallarta and the flavors were complex and delicious. Did not expect that from a small town restaurant. Salsa was fresh made and not too hot. Give Mesquite Grill a try. You wont regret it.
