Have you ever had fresh authentic Mexican Food? Well now you can try it! The Blue Mile welcomes the new Tex Mex restaurant, Azul. Azul specializes in genuine Mexican food that is served fast but fresh.

The restaurant’s name was inspired by the Blue Mile, as well as the blue agave plant that is their logo. Since the color blue was such an inspiration to the restaurant, the owners thought it was fitting to name the restaurant Azul, which is the Spanish name for the color.

Lorena Cisneros, owner of Azul, said her favorite thing on the menu is the burrito. The restaurant has a “build your own burrito” feature so that customers may get whatever they please on it. They also serve fries, which customers can get with certain menu items or as a side. There are allergy friendly options, as well as veggie options on the menu. The owners hope to be made aware of any food allergy before a customer places an order because they do sell shrimp as a topping.

“We hope to create an environment that welcomes everyone for the long run,” said Jorge San Juan, Azul.

The restaurant also has a walk-up bar and will soon be serving your favorite drinks. The outdoor environment provides a welcoming and open atmosphere. There will be games added to the patio in the future that include corn hole and putt-putt.

Allen Muldrew, executive director at Downtown Statesboro Development Authority, says, “I am so excited for a new restaurant to open on the Blue Mile. At the DSDA we try to help and encourage businesses to open on the Blue Mile so it is always nice to see it payoff.”

The restaurant is pet-friendly, but encourages customers to keep their furry friends on a leash.
