    We dine here regularly. The food is great, and the service is excellent some days and not so good other days. On our last visit, we ordered two entrees and two drinks. One entrée and One drink came out wrong. The Drinks are good and expensive. 16.50 for a basic margarita, if they want to engage the locals and make money through the slow season, they may consider a drink special now and then, maybe a 9.00 house Margarita or 2 for one special during slower times. Late Lunch for 2 people 2 entrees and 4 drinks with tip was 155.00. Overall, we are happy to have a second good Mexican Restaurant in town and hope they survive.

    We love Blanco and we’re so excited to have one in Coronado. We went this evening to celebrate my birthday. When we arrived they took us to our table where we found a handwritten birthday card. Very nice touch. Our waiter was so nice and I feel awful that I can’t remember his name now. He was fantastic.. patient with my chatty boys, attentive to the looming end of happy hour, we didn’t have to ask for anything. Everything was delicious. My boys love the queso, they had kids taco and quesadilla. My husband had cheese enchiladas and I had the poblano shrimp enchiladas which we shared. This was the first time we had the shrimp one and it was very good! The creamy poblano sauce was not spicy but flavorful. They offered us a dessert of my choice for my birthday. We chose the tres leches cake and my husband ordered the flan. They were tasty and not over the top sweet. Always nice to know we will always enjoy our evening when we dine here.

    Fantastic from start to finish. Great decor and overall vibe in this relatively new restaurant. Staff were great and made us feel welcome and like they appreciated us being there. Started with margharitas of coures that were great and chips and salsa (love warm chips) and the salsa was tasty without setting your mouth on fire. We split the tortilla soup which was really good and then I had the shrimp fajitas and my wife had the checken fajitas, both fantastic. We had both corn and flour tortillas which was a nice combo. We will definately be back the next time in Coronado!
