   Service was great. Food as well was very good. Sat on patio. Cold night, but heaters made it so comfortable. Definitely will go back. Drinks were great as well.

   We had a reservation, got seated immediately and the service was excellent! Our drinks and food were absolutely delicious and the ambiance was amazing. A wonderful experience! Can’t wait to go back!

   This was our second time to this location. It is definitely a step up from the other Blancos. Food was excellent and we had an attentive server. Unfortunately, our table wasn’t ready when we arrived, even though there were dozens of tables empty. Secondly, we waited close to 40 minutes to receive our dinner food after ordering. Great food and location, but still needs to work on the operation side of the business.

   Food was excellent, service staff were great, ambience was awesome! Only complaint was it took 30 minutes to get appetizers and then meal was not coursed appropriately due to that delay.

   The food for all four of us was delicious and the wait staff was attentive. The complimentary chips and salsa were refilled with nice warm chips without asking. One of the best parts of the large, beautiful restaurant was the ample space they allowed between tables that allowed for a lower noise level and no one bumping into your chair as they passed by! One strange thing that happened is we arrived 6 minutes early and the hostess told us they would only seat us at our reservation time and we could wait outside (cold) or in the bar (no tables or bar space at all) so we awkwardly spent the last couple minutes huddled in a corner until exactly 6:00. I understand the pace of the kitchen and wait staff needs to be somewhat timed but just 6 minutes early with most of the tables unoccupied? We all felt very disposable by that start, it’s a good thing the rest of the evening went well!

   Incredible service and ambience. Food was fresh and corn chips were hot and perfectly crunchy. The rice they serve with the mains was buttery perfection! Definitely will be back!!!

   The ambiance was very nice - not too noisy. Food was good, but the service was awful. We waited way too long for drinks to arrive and the food was even slower. I might give it another try in a few months, when they hopefully have their act more together

    We waited 15 minutes to be seated, even though we had reservations. We had to ask for water to be brought to our table. We then waited 45 minutes for two Tacos and Fajitas. The tacos were plain as cardboard, and the Fajita meat was raw as a fresh wound. We did not eat our food and left. The manager covered the food we did not eat. I would probably wait for 6 months until they get their ducks in a row, as nobody in that place knows what they are doing right now. Chips and Salasa were good :).
