“ We were just having a quick meal here. Chips and salsa come with it. Yasss. I ordered the short rib machaca bowl. Yum. It was a little bit salty but the flavor was nice. It comes with sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo and cheese. I had it with black beans. Definitely would eat this again. The short rib was nicely cooked. The rice wasn't dry or overdone. If it wasn't so salty it would have been 10/10 so I'd give it a solid 8.5. The flavors blended really nicely together, you get a big portion so I had the rest of it for dinner, even after sharing some of it with my oldest. Biggest kiddo wanted the chicken tortilla soup, said it was good. Not a whole lot of feedback from her and I didn't taste it. It smelled awesome though. The baby wanted a plain cheese crisp. She was delighted. She gave me a little piece and I dipped it into my bowl. So good. Y'all might wanna try that when eating the bowls. Service was fine. She was friendly and prompt. The only thing I didn't like was that the restrooms were around the corner and downstairs, ventilation was not that great. I could smell the restroom when I got down the stairs. They were clean though, so there's that. Totally would eat here again, but hopefully not need the restroom. ”

“ First time coming here, and we ordered off the Valentines Day Menu. Everything was great, service was fast, drinks were delivered consistently, and food came out at the perfect time. Our server was super sweet, she was very informative of some of her favorites which really helped start off the experience. She was bubbly and super happy to work there which made our experience even better. The restaurant was clean, every person that worked there worked meticulously together make their service happen which was absolutely amazing. Food was spectacular, fish was done perfect, the enchiladas were all different and amazing, beans and rice were fantastic. Would hands down come here again! ”

“ Stepping into this gem of a restaurant, you're immediately struck by the sparkling cleanliness and eye-catching decor that sets the stage for a memorable meal. The staff's warm welcome is just the beginning of an exceptional experience. Service is lightning-fast, ensuring you're never left waiting. The culinary delights, particularly the Carne Asada burrito with its succulent, flavor-packed meat, were an absolute treat for the taste buds. Every dish, from the taco salad to the Birria tacos, was a hit with our group. The price? A delightful surprise, making the meal not just delicious but also a fantastic value. My one wish? A broader selection of IPAs to match the excellence of the food. Five stars all the way--I'll be back to savor this magic whenever I'm in Phoenix! ”

“ I'm giving 5 stars because Blanco continues to be a solid spot for family and friend gatherings if craving Mexican cuisine. Our favorites are the nachos to share for the table (short rib as an addition) and that cheese sauce is unbelievable. My personal favorite as a dish is the chicken tinga bowl with beans and veggies. The drinks here are pretty awesome too enjoyed my red sangria! I like Blanco because my family can all find something and not be disappointed. Although a family member stated the shrimp tacos didnt have enough shrimp as pictured so maybe skip that one. Other than that, Service was great. We had a reservation and seated right away. The place is so cute I love the decor and the greenery they have. ”

“ Hosted my birthday party in the private dining space downstairs. Ashley, the special events manager was so detail oriented, caring, and responsive when helping to book this exciting event. I was able to set up the room 5 hours beforehand and when I arrived it looked perfect! Alyssa our server was attentive to our guests needs and timed the food perfectly. We had an all you can eat taco bar with Chicken Pastor which was cooked to perfection, the food was hot the entire time which is a HUGE bonus. Alyssa was super helpful in setting up our music in the room and making the BEST margaritas I've had in my 3 years of dining at Blanco. Our guests loved the atmosphere, food, and drinks. If you're looking for a private dining space for your friends, family or coworkers look no further than Blanco! The multiple TV's, seating, and bar space makes this the perfect spot to host! Thank you Ashley and Alyssa for making my night so memorable! ”

“ Blanco Cocina + Cantina offers a fun, lively atmosphere that I really enjoyed! The place was bustling with happy patrons, and the staff was energetic and attentive. I loved the decor; it really added to the overall vibrant ambiance. Our waiter struck the perfect balance of being attentive without being overbearing - he handled our table just fine. My only complaint was with the fajitas we ordered. They were a bit too charred - to the point where most of the vegetables were practically unrecognizable. I think my photo really captures how overdone they were. If they had been taken off the heat maybe a minute or two sooner, they would have been perfect. Overall, though, that was the only real issue we had, and honestly, it's forgivable. It didn't ruin the overall experience, which was very positive. I'll definitely be giving Blanco Cocina + Cantina another try, and I think you should too! ”

“ Decided to check out the shopping here with my mom, and as soon as I spotted a Blanco, it was game over. I ordered my usual espresso martini, and it was easily one of the best--and strongest--I've ever had. The carne asada tacos were absolutely amazing, and I'd order them again in a heartbeat. The service was great, and the food was seriously bomb! ”

“ Blanco is one of the premier Mexican cuisine restaurants in the Valley! The location I visited is in the Biltmore Fashion Park. Though I have had their tacos(I'll review in another post) today during Happy Hour I tried the Green Chile Smash Burger & Traditional Margarita. I sat at the bar and was serviced by Brad (Great Guy!) who provided awesome customer service. The ambiance of this establishment is modern yet cozy, which I love and could get used to on any day. The burger was amazing with two well cooked patties served on a soft and chewy bun. The fries were nice and crispy and the margarita was nice and tasty, made with fresh lime juice! Overall this establishment is a 7/5 great service, great food and a great environment! ”

“ My friends and I came here just before the 6:00 p.m. peak on a Saturday without a reservation, but the hostess was kind enough to find us a high top table for patio dining. Our margaritas were superb and the beef machaca enchiladas I had were scrumptious. Service was excellent, the vibe very casual and friendly, and prices were good especially for the quality and quantity of food and drinks. ”

“ Lunch with Kristy after my oncology appt. We had an awesome waiter named Charlie. He went over lunch specials with us and got us started with chips, salsa, & our drinks (Diet Coke for me, Lemonade for Kristy). We decided in our orders & in no time flat Charlie brought us queso that was soooooo yummy & more chips. Then our meals came shortly after. Kristy got taquitos & I got Carne Asada tacos. My tacos had some kick, thanks to the spicy garlic spread & the scallion relish. Very good, filling meal! Kristy had some dipping sauce for her taquitos that was a creamy tomato sauce and the other side was spicy guacamole. Looked really good! I'll have to try that next time! The restaurant is huge and well decorated, with great ambiance. We enjoyed being able to dine & unwind! Charlie kept our drinks filled & even got us drinks for the roadtrip home! We will be back again! ”
