In Short
A sweet, simple atmosphere: slightly mismatched chairs and tables, a few hanging photographs and Latin music. Easily overheard conversation flows as freely as the sangria, so don't come here for a private tete-a-tete.… Read Full Editorial
Amazing Seafood Paella by DCSchaffer via Citysearch on 12/1/2010
In a word delicious. The Paella bowl was so full, I could bare eat it all. My wife and I were passing thru Durham late, heading home from a Thanksgiving celebration in WInston-Salem. Durham seemed like a good place to stop for dinner. …
FANTASTIC FOOD, SERVICE AND OWNERS! by CSMobileUser4 via Citysearch on 10/28/2010
Ive been in the Blue Corn Cafe on numerous occasions and had nothing but great experiences. The food was amazing and is completely organic. Danielle, the owner took the time to personally explain that they cater to vegetarians and vegans,…
Consistently great! by melissa15 via Citysearch on 10/22/2010
As a patron of this restaurant for almost 14 years, I don't understand the negative posts from other reviewers of Blue Corn Cafe. I dine here weekly and the food and service never let me down. The portions are more than healthy and priced…
NO BUENO by nat evans via Citysearch on 12/14/2009
I have been a frequent diner for years and most recently have found out some disturbing things about the Blue Corn Cafe and just had to share them with anyone who is thinking of visiting or has visited. The combos on the dinner menu state…
Good food, atmosphere lacking by Felicia W via Insider Pages on 6/8/2009
The food here was really good, but the atmosphere was severely lacking. The tables are just kind of there, in placed in the middle of the room with no real cozy feeling. They have a little play area for the kids, which is great, but all of…
I rather eat at Cosmic Cantina..... by JavierRicard via Citysearch on 2/1/2009
I felt compelled to share a terrible experience like this with the world! I went to this restaurant hoping to dine on authentic spanish cuisine according to what the spanish manager told me. I ordered the mango chicken and the chicken…
My worst dining experience EVER!!!!!!!! by MilkshakeCupcake via Citysearch on 2/1/2009
My dining experience at the Blue Corn Cafe was the worst i've ever had in my life ,talk about bad service the waitress was very unprofessional and rude ...it took like an hour just for our food to arrive and when it did it was COLD...I…
horrible, servers are incredibly rude. AWFUL dining experience by SamanthaLee via Citysearch on 1/25/2009
The service and dining experience at blue corn is horrendous. I will never go back there again. The wait staff is incredibly rude. We should have left during the middle of the meal - it was that bad. I cannot imagine a worse dining…
Can enjoy a family dinner by Christine S via Insider Pages on 1/13/2009
I really like their salads, and my young son can get tacos he's able to eat. And while we wait, he can play. It is a great thing that they thought to include a play area in the dining room that's tasteful, safe, and with a big comfy couch…
Food is great, and family friendly! by Lisa C via Insider Pages on 1/7/2009
I always liked the food at Blue Corn. They are very vegetarian friendly, which is great. Now that I have a young child, I like it even more. They recently (well, maybe not so recently) expanded into the old bookshop next door. In the new…
The Worst Margarita on the Planet by brew502 via Citysearch on 5/21/2008
My wife and I ate at Blue Corn this evening and we both feel absolutely violated by what could be the worst margarita ever. We ordered the Jumbo Gold at $8.50 and received a big heaping glass full of nasty commercial grade sours mix with…
Good food, horrendous service by Member12345 via Citysearch on 2/23/2008
My experience at the Blue Corn Cafe was less than what I would expect from any restuarant. They refused to serve me a glass of water to drink with my meal when I requested it. They said the best they could do was to give me a glass with…
Great Vegetarian Meals by H. R via Insider Pages on 12/16/2007
Blue Corn Cafe has the best Vegetarian meals on 9th Street. Their Black beans,corn and rice dish is the best to me. They have great prices for the value.
Good Food by robinsue via Citysearch on 12/4/2007
Blue Corn is a good choice for moderate priced food which seems increasingly hard to find unless one enjoys eating at chain restaurants. However, due to the current drought in the area the restaurant refuses to serve tap water. I find this…
Amazing salsa! by spinningninny via Citysearch on 9/20/2007
Blue Corn Cafe is located in a very cute area of Durham, which pairs a small town feel with an almost boutique-y one. The restaurant used to be quite small but has recently expanded. The food is delicious and fresh, and the salsa is…
Great Flavor and Service by tastyman via Citysearch on 9/19/2007
Great live jazz on Tuesdays nights and tasty margaritas. Most waiters are duke students so i would tip nicely (unless you are a UNC fan).
Decent food by dwe1978 via Citysearch on 8/15/2007
I've gone about four times and always thought that the food and service were good. Not great but good. I usually get the first chicken dish which I think has mango and some other items on top with beans and mashed potatoes. Good but I…
lackluster by ltg via Citysearch on 11/30/2006
Blue Corn was pathetic last night. It was my first time, after hearing good things about it. The waitress was laughably inept and uninterested. The food extremely so-so. I had chicken with mango salsa - a huge portion, but oversalted,…
Funky Flirty fun! by juliajane1 via Citysearch on 11/18/2006
I visited this spot on my first date! It was the most memorable meal for me due to the great service and great food. I had the best Mahi Mahi ever with a beautiful presentation and delicious cocktails! If you are looking for a casual place…
Good Pick - authentic by joeypm via Citysearch on 5/11/2006
After living in Miami for 20 years, you can spot good latin food. The mix here is unique in that they had Cuban and mexican food. They served high quality Tortia Chips and a very good Salsa and yet you could oder some authentic Cuban food…
