We settled in on the small outdoor patio on a very fine spring evening for a meal that hit the spot each point along the line. Well... Maybe except for their chairs. These chairs were not the kind you would usually sit outside to eat in, more built for reclining with a drink in hand. It was not comfortable to sit forward and eat my meal. But man, was that meal ever delicious. Chips came out with three types of salsa, and we ordered the guacamole provincial to go with them as well. The chips on their own were decent, but each salsa had a unique flavor and amount of heat that kept things interesting. The guacamole was chunky and full of flavor, with a good enough portion for the four of us. When the meal came, it was clear I had won dinner. I got the "Mezcali's Best" which honestly, I think it was their best effort. Grilled steak, chicken, shrimp, onions, peppers, and zucchini in a chipotle queso sauce. Man. THAT SAUCE. That sauce just simply made the whole thing incredible. To the point when I cleared my plate, my wife had me scrape the sauce onto what was left of hers. In addition, the refried beans had an excellent flavor, I am not usually big on the beans... but this one had me wanting more. Chips used to scoop up some beans, rice, and sauce... were so so good. I would definitely come back here, probably sit inside, and order the Mezcali's best (or anything I can get that chipotle queso sauce on) again.

It's on…read morethe smaller side, but there are plenty of tables and bar seats, plus a cozy little patio out front when the weather is nice. The menu is huge and offers just about anything you can think of. Apps, tacos, enchiladas, chimichangas, flautas, burritos, fajitas, platters, seafood, you name it. The margaritas are massive as well. They also offer a lunch menu with quite a few options at a lower price, which is always appreciated. Chips and salsa are complimentary, with three different salsas to choose from: mild, verde, and spicy. All three had great flavor. The chips themselves weren't quite as fresh as I'd like and didn't come out hot or warmed. My server saw how much I loved the salsas and kept refilling. She was awesome! For this weekday lunch, I went with the Burrito Vallarta with chicken. Rice, beans, avocado, and a tasty hot sauce inside, with sour cream, pico de gallo, and lettuce on the side. Everything tasted fresh and the burrito as a whole was juicy and flavorful. The chicken was shredded and just a bit tough. I personally prefer freshly grilled chunks or strips, but it was still good overall. All in all, this is a nice addition to the shopping center and a solid option for Mexican food in the area.

I had been craving a piece of fish and had been wanting to try this spot. Decided to kill two birds with one stone and ordered takeout on my way home. I ordered take out: Family size flounder Regular catfish basket with fries Sides of Mac and cheese, collards, fries A small order of hush puppies Kids shrimp meal Ordering was easy and curbside pickup *would* have been convenient, except I was only given half of my order and got all the way home before realizing. Fine - people make mistakes. I immediately called the restaurant when I noticed and was given the option to come back and pick up my order (that was actively getting colder) or order it again another day... Considering we were missing the family size flounder, I opted to go back and pickup the rest of my order. I had to go in (which I had been trying to avoid by utilizing curbside pickup) - ok, not the end of the world, but then I had to wait in line. I was given the rest of my order that had been sitting out for close to (if not more than) half an hour. The girl that was working the counter apologized and was very nice, but given no one offered to remake my food or throw in something for my troubles annoyed me. The food was cold - the batter became soggy, fries mushy, slaw warm, hush puppies mostly grease. Mac & cheese was "OK." Collards were not good. Fries, flounder, and catfish would have been good while piping hot but - ALAS - were just OK. Unimpressed and downright disappointed.

Hidden flavor alert in Greensboro!…read more I'll be honest--I passed on Aunt E's for a while because I hadn't seen many people talking about it. The one person I did see post wasn't even an influencer, just someone I trusted... and I'm glad I finally listened. Because whew ‍ the flavor here is REAL. Everything we had was seasoned well, cooked with care, and tasted like someone who actually loves feeding people was in the kitchen. Nothing felt rushed or generic. It's the kind of place where you can tell the food is made with intention, not shortcuts. If you've been sleeping on Aunt E's like I was, consider this your sign. Greensboro, y'all were lowkey hiding this one. Even tho we didn't eat in the ambiance and vibe was still friendly! A bit pricey! We'll definitely be back. -- Toni

I arrived right at 1pm on a Sunday afternoon to get brunch with a friend. There were other people…read morewalking up as I was. Checking in was a little unorganized, in my opinion. A dedicated host wasn't apparent, which is interesting considering they just opened for the day. I was sat at 1:07pm while waiting for my friend to arrive. Faith, our waitress, came over at 1:09pm, and I ordered 2 waters, but she only brought one. Faith did bring my friends a drink when she saw they had arrived. We ordered at 1:22pm. I got 2 cheesesteak egg rolls as an appetizer. I got the 3 whole wings with cabbage and mashed potatoes as a side. I also got aunt e's spiked punch. In my opinion, the "spiked" part of the punch was missing... The alcoholic beverage came 10 mins later at 1:32pm. Faith brought dinner rolls at 1:34pm The egg rolls came at 1:36pm. They were DELICIOUS! I would return just for these, honestly. This was the highlight of the whole experience. My entree came at 1:52pm and my friend's food came a minute later. The chicken was just okay. It wasn't crispy as I expected it to me and lacked flavor. The cabbage and mashed potatoes were fine. The appetizer was wonderful but the entree and drink was more disappointing than anything. I would return to try something else. The seating did seem cluttered and close as well.

I started with a Cajun Martini made with jalapeño-infused vodka, and it was exactly what I hoped it would be. It did not taste artificially jalapeño-flavored; it had a real kick and just the right amount of heat. We started with the Crawfish Rangoon Dip, and honestly, I could have made a meal out of it. I have had Rangoon dips before, but this one was especially smooth and full of flavor. If I had been at home, I probably would have been tempted to run my finger around the bowl to get every last bit. For my entrée, I had the Shrimp Étouffée. Others at the table ordered the Duck Jambalaya, Shrimp and Grits, and Gumbo Yaya. My dish seemed to get better with every bite. The Creole stew was rich and deeply flavorful without being over the top. I was especially glad our waitress suggested adding a side of garlic bread to mop up the sauce. Even the garlic bread stood out, toasted on the grill with a slightly smoky flavor. It felt like real attention had been paid to every detail. We all tried each other's dishes, and I would happily go back and order any one of them. The banana pudding at the end of the meal was just as good. It had a strong banana flavor and was not overly sweet. Our servers were friendly and attentive, and the meal moved at a relaxed pace. We never felt rushed. My only complaint was the noise level. The restaurant has a tiled ceiling, and it got loud enough that at times, it was difficult to hear people on the other side of the table. Even with that, I would go back to Blue Denim!

The crawfish rangoon dip was delightfully cheesy with large pieces of crawfish, the chili sauce was sweet and had a tiny bit of heat, and I loved the crisp and light wonton chips. The shrimp and grits were almost as delicious as I remembered from my visit years ago. There is a moderate amount of cajun spices, so if you don't like somewhat spicy food, you may want to ask to see if they can adjust this, but I loved it as is. My husband had the King Catfish plate and really enjoyed it, though we both agreed the Shrimp and Grits was superior. My only complaint with Blue Denim is the noise level. It is a small space with a charming interior, but given its tight quarters, it can get quite loud even if the restaurant is only half full. I'm not sure how they would go about fixing this, but if the weather is nice (as it was in this latest visit) I will opt to eat at one of their outdoor tables.
