    Blanco has a great vibe and ambience. Great place to meet up with friends and have a few drinks but overall a little pricey and ok. The food was good but not great, we had the chicken tortilla soup which was our favorite. The carne asada had good flavor but nothing special. If you’re looking for a good place ti hang out and don’t mind paying a little more for a good vibe definitely recommend, if you’re looking for great Mexican food this is probably not the place. Service was great and the staff was super friendly as well.

    Unfortunately, it was not the best experience this visit. When we first arrived, the manager was on the phone and didn't even acknowledge us. We stood at the desk for about 5 minutes before somebody else. Finally came up to us and see to us. The service was mediocre. The food was consistent and pretty good. But overall, it left us wondering if we want to come back.

    The food was delicious as both my colleague and I had not been to Blanco before. Service was friendly and responsive. We enjoyed the experience and both of us vowed to return with our families over the holidays.

    Tacos and Frozen Paloma were good, but Blanco is super stingy with the taco beef. I was hungry shortly after eating. Also, the queso used to be good, now it's terrible. Not even worth it if it were free! Still got charged for fluff - not real cheese.🙄 Will start looking for a different Mexican restaurant.

    Service was very slow and not attentive except when very helpful waiter was at our table. Also I asked for extra lettuce as salad was very small. They brought me a small bowl of Romaine and charged me $5 for it. This with the upgrade on the beef made my small salad $22.

    More expensive than typical Mexican fare and more unusual combinations so not typical dishes. We enjoyed everything - just didn’t expect the bill with drinks and tips to be almost $200 for 4. Service was super friendly and our meals came out fast. Be prepared for a delicious albeit noisy experience. We’ll definitely return!
