Latin American Cuisine on 9th Street in Durham

Blue Corn Cafe is an adventurous mixture of the chefs/owners multi-cultural background. Danielle Marini-Rios and husband, Antonio Rios, are an eclectic mix and they bring that mix to Blue Corn Cafe's fare and atmosphere. An eclectic mix of Latin American cuisine, Blue Corn Cafe has been a staple on 9th Street in Durham for many years. A great place to have a social lunch or dinner with friends, co-workers and family, Blue Corn Cafe offers the charm of a small town restaurant with the flavor of a big city eatery.

Background - Danielle, of Italian decent, lived in Miami for many years. From this experience, her love and knowledge of both Cuban and Puerto Rican cuisine has grown. Antonio brings true Mexican flavors to the table, especially in his homemade sauces and salsas.

Location - The Blue Corn Cafe, Durham's only Latin-American Restaurant, is right at home in the eclectic surroundings of Ninth Street. Weather permitting, there is limited outdoor cafe seating available. However, the cozy inside is just as appealing, with local artists providing an ever changing display of work for sale.

Catering - Blue Corn Cafe offers on and off- site catering for all occasions. They specialize in rehearsal dinners, wedding receptions, bat/bar-mitzvah, anniversary celebrations and more. Blue Corn Cafe can handle all aspects of your special event. They will not only provide food and beverages but will handle all of your rental needs. They can also provide you with their well-trained and attentive staff. No event is too large or too small. Prices of on and off site catering vary and are specific to your needs. Please call their catering manager at 286-9600 for quotes and dates of availability.

Blue Corn Cafe has added a private banquet room for your private party needs which holds over 50 people. Call (919) 286-9600 to request the new room for your next event!
