On the menu for the evening will be treats like green chile steak, green chile stacked chicken enchiladas, and the award-winning shrimp and Oaxaca cheese relleno. Dinner will be served at all Blue Mesa locations Thursday from 5 to 9 p.m. The all-you-can-eat buffet is $16.95 for adults and $6.95 for kids, with El Jimador drink specials available; reservations are recommended.
