After visiting Mexico City, we were craving some true Mexican foods that are not easy to find here in Louisiana such as Cochinita Pibil, the excellent vegetable sides, and Mole. Enter Blue Corn Tequila & Tacos.... We are right back in Mexico City! The tacos are some of the best we've had in Louisiana. The Al Pastor is unmatched. We came for the Lengua, Barbacoa, Mole, and the fried fish tacos which are top notch. This has become a regular destination, we enjoy the outdoor seating a ton. Tony, our server, took care of us so well. Hopefully he will be there for each or our visits! Ask for Tony for a great experience. read more

Cool little place! We went kind of early, so it wasn't very busy, but that made it easy to relax and enjoy the meal. The decor is sharp and modern, with a nice atmosphere that makes you want to hang out a while. My wife had the Flautas ($20.50), and I went with the Carne Asada ($20.50). The carne asada was very good, tender, well-seasoned, and full of flavor. Everything came out fresh and plated nicely. Definitely a spot we'll come back to once it's a little more lively in the evening. read more

This place has truly become my absolute favorite taco spot in Baton Rouge. I was immediately greeted and took a seat at the bar. As I was sitting down, a server was already in route to provide me with chips and salsa! I placed my 3 taco combo with a frozen strawberry margarita, it came out in like ten minutes! Everything was amazing and to my liking! The margarita although a small was a great size for a random dinner drop in. The rice and beans were a great portion size along with the tacos! I highly recommend!! read more

When this place first opened, I had hopes that it would be a rising star. My first few trips were excellent, unfortunately my last three were very disappointing. One of them was in midafternoon, in the summer, it was over 80+F in the dining area, I asked if the AC was out, no, they said it was too expensive to run all day. My latest trip was very recently, we went for lunch, we entered about noon, very few tables were occupied, not a good sign. It took almost 10 minutes before a server came by for a drink order, it took a bit for him to come back with 2 iced teas. We gave him our food order, then we waited, and waited, and waited. We didn't see our server, so we asked the greeter if she could get refills. BTW the chips and salsa, the chips were from a bag. I'm going to guess it was about half an hour when we got lunch, I had a skirt steak cut into strips, it was very chewy, then after another few bites, the meat just didn't taste fresh, I sent it back. My wife had chicken, she said it was OK. This place obviously has issues, I like Tex-Mex, but it has to taste fresh and like someone has pride in their product. I hope they make a mean margarita, that might keep them going long enough to make changes. read more

Great service with really good food. Tequila flights are a must if you go here and they have every taco you can think of!!

Food was super good and full of flavor! Very polite staff as well, the gentleman at the front even moved the space heater towards me since it was cold out . The atmosphere was also great. Perfect for a date night! read more

I stopped in for some weeknight tacos and overall, had a great experience. The space is located in a little shopping center. The parking lot was crowded but the restaurant was not. There was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Upon being seated, I was given chips and salsa. The chips were okay but the salsa was super delicious! I sat at the bar and I ordered the watermelon basil margarita. It was really good. I also did a grilled shrimp taco and a steak taco with the rice and beans to make it a combo. The tacos were very good. The rice and beans were meh. I wish I had just ordered the tacos alone. I thought it was strange that the sides came on their own plate and they were super bland. Service was fine. If I were in town again I would come back and only get tacos or something else from their menu. read more

Blue corn has a really great atmosphere both inside and out. We ordered ceviche for an appetizer and whereas the flavor was really good, the presentation could use some work. However, the entrées were outstanding. The chili relleno was very different from chili rillenos that I've had in the past, it did not have any breading and was not fried . My only recommendation would've been maybe firing the pepper longer over direct flame to get just a little char on it. Great bar selection. We will definitely return. Give it another try. read more

The best place for Taco Tuesday! Between the blueberry margarita and the fajitas, I was a very happy girl haha! Taco Tuesdays are one of my favorite girls night out excuses. My friend and I came here right after work, and we were sat right at the bar. There was only one other person in here when we first arrived. Right when we sat down, the bartender was ready to take our order. I started out with a beer and my friend a blueberry margarita on the rocks. I had a sip of hers, and I immediately ordered one for myself... it was SO GOOD! Highly recommend this. For our meal, I got the chicken fajitas with no onion and a side of shredded cheese. This was a huge portion, but I was starving so I ate all of the chicken fajitas. I didn't touch the side dish (rice, bens, sour cream) or the tortillas, so there was a lot that came with this entree. My friend stuck with the tacos... I'm not a taco person but she said hers were good. Food and drinks came out very fast and the the quality of food was great. Everything was delicious. The staff was awesome and very attentive. I also love how this place is decorated. There is a beautiful mural that can be seen throughout the restaurant, and the bar area is such a vibe. There was also outdoor seating on the patio, but because it was freezing, no one was out there but there were garage like doors that could open that would bring the patio and the inside together, which I love that concept. I'll definitely be spending more Taco Tuesdays here! read more

My wife and I stopped by for lunch because I wanted to try the pastor grill that I'd seen posted on Yelp. Unfortunately we were told that it was only available during dinner hours, but our server checked with the chef and he was willing to accommodate, so I lucked out. Everything was hot and fresh. My only minor complaints were that the complimentary salsa wasn't as chunky as I like (it was more like a sauce), and we asked for no bell peppers in our fajitas but they didn't omit them. Overall though, it was solid. read more

My first time eating at Blue Corn and it was delicious. The chips, salsa and queso was very good. The only thing the chips were a little hard. But was still very good. I had the two taco combo. I chose a grilled chicken and a shredded chicken taco. I didn't like the shredded one. They come on 2-corn tortillas. The service was very fast and our waiter was very good. The place is small but they do have outdoor seating also. It's decorated very nice. read more

This is a great spot for tasty Mexican dishes! While Blue Corn has been on my list of places to try, I ended up here rather unexpectedly for a Friday night dinner around 6:30pm after two nearby places had waits of 45+ minutes (no thank you!). Considering how busy those other places were, I was a bit skeptical of stopping at Blue Corn because it seemed somewhat empty when we arrived (spoiler alert - it filled up like 5 minutes afterward). Hubby and I were greeted by a friendly waiter, who promptly seated us. However, after we placed our drink orders, someone else (manager?) came to our table to say there had been a mix-up and our table had been reserved for someone else. Would we like to move to the bar to wait for a table? We said we could stay at the bar (since who wants to move a second time). We moved to the bar and were greeted by one of the bartenders who asked if we wanted a drink, so I let him know I had already put in a drink order for a margarita. It came out a few minutes later, but I found it to be really watery (which is a bit strange because they make all their margs fresh - not using a pre-mix, which I give bonus points). Maybe it was the ice, but I was a bit disappointed (especially after reading all the reviews about how good they are). But! Because of the mixup with our table, this marg was on the house, so I really can't complain too much. I very much appreciated the gesture! Our bartender was super friendly and helped the hubs decide on what to order (Pastor Skillet), but he was clearly busy and it took a while for him to actually take our order. He never asked if I wanted another drink and wasn't really attentive, although he interacted with other guests that it seemed were regulars; it took quite a while to get our bill even though we were right in front of him with empty dishes. There was also a couple seated next to us about 10 minutes after we sat at the bar who were asked if they wanted another drink and they ended up getting their bill well before we did while we sat with empty plates. This is why I gave 4 stars and not 5. I'm a sucker for good service. Food here was AWESOME (and why I wish I could give 4.5 stars). I had the 3 taco combo with the Tinga, Al Pastor, and Baja Shrimp tacos. All were delicious and they overfill the taco (messy, yes; delicious also yes!) I ate everything on the plates in front of me, including the beans and rice (the rice I could have done without, but I loved the beans). All in all, I would go back here and not sit at the bar to see if that's a different experience. I really feel for busy bartenders, but I felt so ignored. read more

I will give this place props for having dishes on the menu that you usually don't see in this area. We came on a busy Friday night but had a minimal wait. The service was good and everyone was friendly. I would not recommend the fish options particularly the mahi mahi dish. It had no flavor and was not what we thought. But they graciously took it back and the dish the server recommended was way better for my hubs. The food overall was good but to me it was a little less portion then I was expecting on the fajitas (more veggies than meat) but as stated it tasted good. Drinks are were also good. Would probably come back to try more but I do wish there was a little more space in the inside. read more

Blue Corn Tequila & Tacos - Chicken nachos with black beans - Bars Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Good food, with some things you don't see often. The Oaxacan tamales ("Tamales Oaxaquenos") were very good (one chicken, one pork - chicken was better, with more seasoning; the pork seemed to be boiled meat with no seasoning). The tortilla soup had good flavor and the sauce for the tamales was also good. Great chips, average salsa. "Modern Mexican" is a good description- definitely not TexMex, and a step up from the average authentic Mexican joints around town (with prices to match). Below average service on this visit. Pro tip for restaurant owners/managers - if you build a place with an open kitchen, make sure the staff understands that customers can see when they are hanging out, chatting and sharing videos with each other instead of taking care of customers. It's cool to see how the kitchen works. Are you sure you want us to see ALL that?? Also, the tequila flights are fun, but you need labels (particularly if the servers are not going to know the first thing about which tequiLa is which when they bring it to the table). Fortunately the bartender remembered when I took the flight to the bar to ask. Cucumber jalapeño margarita was good, but a little too much cucumber flavor (needs less of that and more jalapeño). Pretty good food. Higher than average prices for Mexican (but not your average choices, either). Service needs some work. read more

My coworker and I were looking for somewhere to have lunch. We passed this place and decided to go there. There was no wait. We were seated immediately. Our server greeted us almost instantly which was a plus for me. We scanned the menu. There is no queso on the menu with ground beef. I asked could it be added and he said sure. I asked for a large because that is all I was planning on having! It wasn't as large as I expected it to be. I would hate to see what a small looks like honestly. I added a shrimp taco to my meal. The shrimp are bland but the chipotle sauce spruces the taco up but you have to ask for extra. My coworker had the steak taco and she hated them ...... I mean I really like queso and it's close to work so I would at least order that again. read more

I love Blue Corn! It's one of my go-tos for Taco Tuesday. My favorite taco by far (I get it every time I come) is the lengua (cow's tongue) which may be jarring for first timers, but it's a delicacy where I come from so I grab any opportunity I can to have some. Forgot to take a picture, but they have the most amazing tres leches topped with strawberry! If you're craving something sweet after your tacos, I'd definitely suggest having that. read more

I'm almost positive this is our new favorite Mexican restaurant. While a little out of the way from where we are at it was the perfect study break. They have lengua tacos which are delicious and the portions are amazing. What I love most is that it's not your typical Mexican food. The entrees seem very authentic and the spices aren't too strong. If your not a spicy lover but enjoy a little tingle come here! The service was fantastic and the ambience is date worthy. Give it a try I doubt you would be disappointed! read more

WOW! This is a hidden gem in Baton Rouge. Great selection of authentic dishes on the menu and an even better selection of my favorite thing to drink, Tequila. Tucked away in a shopping center it's a little unassuming but the food and drinks are spectacular. We started with their queso which was creamy, cheesy, and just the right amount of spice. We had several top-shelf margaritas which were mixed well and they don't skimp on the tequila! We ordered the Carne Asada & Chiles Rellenos which were great and the portion sizes were huge. We'll be back, might just be our new favorite place for Mexican food. read more

Oh no. Another place nearby to cure my Mexican craving. Whatever will I do. Eat here, duh! This is such a cute spot in the middle of all the traffic on Perkins and Essen! There's a lovely patio with heaters on the 3 days it's cold enough for them and it's very colorful and welcoming. The waitstaff is great, very quick and attentive with requests. Their chips and salsa are addictive, but who's aren't, right?! I thought their salsa was a step above simply because of a little extra smokiness and a little extra garlic. The queso was so-so, it was supposed to be chorizo but I got more bean flavor than anything else. The texture of it was good though and my party definitely licked the bowl clean. My favorite part about Blue Corn, other than their kick ass HOUSE margaritas that are on happy hour daily until 6pm? THEY HAVE LENGUA!!!!!!! For those that don't stray away from the norm, lengua is beef tongue and IT. IS. AWESOME. I got the Lengua taco and it was tender, juicy, and full of beautiful beefy goodness. The toppings were minimal so the meat really...spoke. I also got the tacos al carbon and enjoyed the juiciness of that as well. For a side I did the elotes with poblano and it was pretty tasty - fresh snappy corn with a tangy white chunky cheese (maybe feta, maybe cotija) and spicy yet sweet poblano peppers. Good til the last spoonful! I'll definitely be back to try more of their margaritas and tacos...while avoiding the terrible traffic. Hopefully on a Tuesday for $3 tacos! read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. Was just looking to try something new and happened upon it. The weather was good enough when I went that the patio was open, the ambiance in the restaurant was good. We ordered the pastor skillet and barbacoa nachos with a large frozen marg. Before the food arrived, I thought the prices were on the higher side, but it made sense once the food arrived. The nachos were absolutely stacked with cheese, cheese sauce, sour cream, guac, and tons of meat. I might add the barbacoa was perfectly tender and delicious. The pastor skillet came out on a sizzling cast iron skillet as most restaurants serve fajitas. They were well seasoned, generous with the onions and pineapple, and actually sizzling. It seems like a common occurrence these days restaurants are moving away from having extremely hot sizzling skillets for fajitas, but it adds so much to the dish. The sound, the aroma, the presentation, it all added up to take the dish to another level. And again, before the meal, I was questioning why pastor would be 20+ dollars, but after receiving it, I could see the extra effort put into the food. Big thumbs up on the food and ambiance. The margarita was good, but not really outside the norm for a frozen marg. The service was good. It was not really noteworthy, but that's usually a good thing when it comes to service. All around, I will say this is a pretty easy recommend from my experience. read more

First time visiting this restaurant. I loved the chips, salsa, and queso as well as my two taco combo with rice and beans. The salsa and queso had a little kick to them, which I loved, and the chips had just the right amount of salt on them. For my tacos, I chose the al carbon taco (steak topped with cilantro & onions) and the al pastor taco (pork with pineapples, cilantro & onions). Both were so good!! The pineapples on the al pastor were so fresh and delicious! Overall - excellent food, good service, great ambiance. Definitely will be back again! read more

Wow, what a cute trendy spot with awesome vibe, food/drinks, and service! Came here with a group of work friends tonight and it did not disappoint. We each got a margarita just before happy hour ended at 6-I got their house frozen and it was perfect-not too sweet and just strong enough. Complimentary chips and salsa, which is somewhat of a rare find in these parts I feel. I got 4 of the taco Tuesday $3 tacos and they were all SO GOOD. I tried the cochinita pibil, al carbon, mole, and Baja fried fish-they were seriously all so good and so different-I don't know how they do so many different flavors all so well!

I really enjoyed Blue Corn. They are different from other Mexican restaurants in town because they offer a more modern take on Mexican food while still keeping some traditional offerings. On Tuesdays all tacos are $3 so it's a pretty good deal. I was amazed with how quickly we were served our food after ordering. They also have a very nice patio with outdoor seating.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this place because I'm a pretty solid Rum House for taco Tuesday type girl. BUT Blue Corn blew me away with the authenticity of their food. I got the 2 tacos + 1 side deal for approx $12. The side was poblano peppers with queso fresco and elote. Most def the best side (both quantity and quality) I've ever had at a Mexican restaurant. It was absolutely DELICIOUS. I will probably come back just for that side on its own. I also always appreciate the complimentary chips and salsa as a starter. I wasn't partaking due to my first baby growing inside of me but the ladies I dined with raved about the happy hour margarita. They said it was strong and also super tasty. The small marg was $4 during happy hour (4-6pm) as opposed to the regular $8.50 price for the small. I will definitely tell my friends about this place and come back to experience their taco Tuesday! $3 tacos is the way to go! read more
