Blanco Cocina + Cantina – Tucson

Super impressed! Came here for a late lunch as as a group of 7. We experienced high quality, top-notch service from our wonderful waitress! The food is also top-notch. Chips, salsa, queso, tacos, margaritas are all extremely delicious. Pictured is the mahi tacos and a custom margarita (since they were out of prickly pear)!! Thank you, we will be back!!

This place has great views of the city, especially in the evening. The food is good and so is the service. They have large portions that are reasonably priced. Food place for sate night or for a meal out with the entire family.

What a great place for lunch. Wonderful combo platter and most refreshing blackberry spritzer. Thanks for the good service Kaci. We'll be back 😁

One of my favorite restaurants in Tucson. Edit : I am not liking how they reduced taco portions to 2 tacos instead of 3. You get bigger tortillas, but there seems to be less meat. This isn’t an authentic Mexican restaurant, but the food is still good in its own way. The quality and ingredients are good and the dishes are well made. The drinks are really good as well. I often crave their buttery rice. Atmosphere is nice and lively.

Attended a group event for a co-worker's retirement party. We had 20-25 attendees and service, food, and adult beverages were excellent! (Great tequila menu!) My wife really enjoyed the cheese crisp with guacamole and I devoured the shrimp tacos. I didn't partake in dessert but everyone around us raved about it.

This is a hidden gem of a restaurant. I had the breakfast burrito which was honestly probably the best I've ever had. My mom had the enchiladas and said they were also one of the best enchiladas she has had. The dining area is well lit with natural light. Indoor and outdoor seating options.

Great food and cocktails! I thought the food was delicious 😋 The queso was delicious with the added guac and sour cream. We ordered the tacos with were amazing. Lots of flavor and taste of freshness. I would definitely go back to try the Mexican pizza. My favorite place! Great cocktails, delicious food and outstanding service 🙌🏾

So good!! Had their tiger shrimp fajitas, with beans and rice and it was absolutely delicious! Definitely enough food to split with at least one other person. Fajitas came out sizzling, and everything was prepared / presented beautifully. Also enjoyed a ginger spice Paloma, which was equally yummy, and grabbed a Mexican chocolate cake to go which was sooo decadent! Two thumbs up for everything. And let's not forget those views.... ⛰️🌁

We would recommend Blanco.We enjoyed the meal for 2 people during Tucson restaurant week and every menu item we had was fantastic. The sweet potato enchilada was a home run and the avocado dip is delicious. We will definitely return and try there fajitas.

Delicious made to order Mexican in the heart of Tucson! Highly recommend! Unique margaritas and tacos, (I had the mahi-mahi tacos that were amazing!) with freshly made corn chips and spicy salsa. The flan is so flavorful and a great way to end your meal! This is one not to miss! Eric was attentive and a fantastic server. Ask for his table!!!

Went for a happy hour/dinner and was blown away by the flavors! Everything was very fresh and beautifully prepared. I ordered the poblano cheese crisp, chicken taco and pulled pork tacos off the happy hour menu and was very impressed. My husband ordered the braised short rib machaca tacos and they were excellent too. His came with rice and beans which was the real surprise - the rice was more of a risotto and the black beans were perfectly cooked! Simply divine!

I have always like Blanco’s and felt time for a review. Their menu is simple and I have had the bbq pork tacos with flour tortillas and the bbq pork cheese crisp. Both excellent. Great margaritas and love the ambiance. The service staff is polite and highly organized. Five stars for Caitlyn and her coworkers. One reason I’m motivated to leave a good review is that the restaurant business is a hard business and all to often the only reviews to be left are negative from the haters out there. I know this because I have owned my own restaurant in Sacramento for the last 15 yrs. Keep up the great work!

Blanco is a nice space with very good food. Cool urban chic Mexican vibe. The bar menu and tequila is the star and the food the backdrop for awesomeness. They have some great wines and beer as well. We ate at the bar a service was great. The bartender was quite friendly. I especially love how the managers James and Lara, and FOX restaurants support local non-profits, like SAAS (Southern Arizona Against Slavery). I am a customer for life! VictorB

You can expect great food, good value for money, and a taste of Mexico with a touch of American influence at Blanco Restaurant.

My daughter has been on a hunt to find good queso since she moved here in 2021, and she finally found a restaurant that makes queso like we enjoyed in Texas!

Freindly service and good food. Recommend it at least once. I ordered the Carne asada burrito and can say. It beats the regular burro you get at the fast food chains. Flavor wise 😋 tastey!. Photos included.

Pretty place on the north side. Great views. The chips and salsa here are great. I ordered the 2 taco plate with a shrimp taco and a fish taco. It came with beans. The tacos were good.

+5

Service was great, food was very good but the beans were very salty, even for my my taste. Dessert was tasty but took a while to get. Tequila flights (Casamigos) is my favorite. Would recommend getting setting up a reservation just in case case it’s a busy night.

I had a nice Happy Hour visit. It involved a Margarita, chips and salsa, and Queso, all of which were good. Service was excellent. The patio is very nice, and has great views

The carnita.tacos are perfectly seasoned and very tender! The sweet tamale is also ricisimo! The patio is a great place for an afternoon drink, or a small bite. Open air kind of place.

carne asada fajita came out sizzling and the ingredients were incredibly fresh like picked off the farm. surprised us both, and the watermelon marg was refreshing for summer if you want something not too sweet

We loved our visit. Food and drinks were delicious. Our waiter Jerome was phenomenal.

Sooooo good! We had the Ceviche (delicious!!), Shortrib Machaco Burritos, and Tiramasu. Everything was over the top good, and they were large portions, too. We sat outside on the covered patio where there was a nice breeze blowing through, and our waiter was terrific - very personable, attentive, and informative.

Some of the best Mexican food I've ever had! The chips are thick and crunchy, the salsa was spicy but not too spicy, and the guac was chunky and flavorful. We got a couple of margaritas, one house and one watermelon and oh boy were they refreshing. I don't even know what tacos we ordered but every single one was mouth watering. The atmosphere is amazing as well. The outdoor seating overlooks Tucson with the mountains in the background. The staff was super friendly and always kept our chips, salsa, and waters topped off. HIGHLY recommend!

I always take a seat at the bar closest to the till. The bartender, often flooded with orders, needs someone not in a rush. The bartender here was attentive, friendly, and suggestive when lightly prompted. Even though I went at lunch hour, on a Sunday, I did not feel any rush or stress in the room. Speaking of room it is 😍 beautiful❤️.The open concept makes for not only a display of their team work and efficiency, but also allows a variety of plants to thrive amongst the guest. All of the staff is friendly not just to the customers but to each other. Front of house was attentive and helpful to the bartender. Back of house was bustling and communicative with the expeditor, who was always happy to see a server. Energy is big for me so I often don't find a place I'd want to dine in at more than once. I will be coming back here.

Flavor explosion - a great combo of fresh ingredients well balanced and well seasoned! I was in heaven! I ordered the sweet potato and portobello mushroom bowl - it was amazing! I really wanted to order one of their many margaritas but stuck with iced tea. The place was lively and the service quick and attentive. It had a good high energy vibe. I sat the the bar - plan ahead there was a wait to get a table. The patio looked inviting.

excellent food and presentation! The view from the restaurant is gorgeous and interior decor is one of my wife’s favorites. The nachos are pretty amazing, probably some of the best you’ll have. Would enjoy coming back to try more of the menu items, they all look really good.

This was one of the first places we tried here in Tucson. It was SO SO SO good. My husband said he hardly ever sees me finish my plate and I was practically licking it by the end of our meal. I didn’t catch our servers name but he was tall and had light colored hair. Very very nice and attentive. He offered recommendations and checked on us frequently. We had the freshly made guacamole, Mexican street corn, shrimp tacos and the marinated beef tacos. Highly highly recommend.

Make sure to make reservations well advanced, especially on Saturday. The Nachos Queso Blanco was spectacular. You can actually pick single taco combos rather than get 2 of the same. I ended up getting the shrimp, chicken, and steak. The Chicken was a little too charred for my liking. The shrimp was delicious. The steak was average. I don’t recommend corn tortillas because they tend to break easily. Chicken Fajitas was delicious

Great tasting creative food. We had the Cheese crisp ROASTED POBLANO CHILE & TOMATO. Not a classic quesadilla in the regular sense. A thin flat tortilla, crispy near the edges, sliced like pizza and delicious. They should get the whole tortilla to that crispy outside in my opinion. The salsa was thick, spicy and delicious, had them keep bringing more. The chips and tortillas used were fresh and must have been locally made. The margaritas were very good and they used white and black salt, very unique. I had the Dodge Cadillac margarita $17 but wife got her regular for $8 on the happy hour price. I had the BRAISED SHORT RIB "MACHACA" tacos. Unbelievable flavor. It came with rice and I selected black beans. The rice was amazing, think risotto with cheese, Yum. The wife ordered from the happy hour menu CHICKEN PASTOR and SLOW COOKED BBQ PORK tacos. I tried a taste, creative approach with pineapple in the chicken both also very flavorful. Wish I could have all three! I read the reviews before we went, pretty lacking in details of what was good and for those who said food was bland, what the heck did you order? Service was a little slow but all the servers and wait staff were super nice and friendly; just young. As others commented, the music is too loud very difficult to hear my wife and she put in vibe ear plugs. You see that in so many reviews and I know restaurants do it because it makes people eat and leave, but do you really have that problem? Last my wife was thrilled by the art on the north wall opposite the entrance. Such intricate, complex and creative work. She thoroughly enjoyed taking it in while dining.

Colorful interesting space with ability for covered open air dining on patio or inside. Glass garage style doors raise on pleasant weather days and evenings. 3pm has reduced priced menu - ask for it and save $ on the contemporary Mexican style yummy food and libations. I've been 4 times and this was the first time I needed to flag down staff for a drink and appetizer order, but I did have to wait on 2 other guests, so I gave them a pass. Learned that if you love mexican street 🌽 not in the mood to naw on a corn cob, you can request they remove it from the cob. The shrimp mango ceviche appetizer was wonderful and the warm queso with guacamole, sour cream, pico topping was perfect for the table with chips. Save room for the flan dessert!

I’m not one to review restaurants very often, but Blanco was amazing. I sat at the bar and service was great. The chips and salsa (especially the hotter salsa) was tasty and the chicken fajitas were absolutely delicious. Next time I’m in Tucson, I’m 100% going back.

We were in Tucson visiting family. We usually go to the one at Biltmore, but now they opened one closer to us at the new PV. Anyway, the Tucson location is in a great spot. Awesome view of tje "Old Pueblo". Food was great as always. Service was spot on. Patio seating was very pleasant. Not too loud so easy to have a conversation.

Our margs and entrees were delicious, and Lexi was a great server!!

I'm in Tucson for work this week and visited Blanco Cocina + Cantina on the recommendation of a colleague who used to live out here.. His recommendation was very appropriate.. My traveling colleagues and I had a great time here.. We started off with a round of varying margaritas.. All three were wonderfully refreshing and my own pair of Dodge's Cadillac versions ended up being more or less high-end Benz versions.. More on that later.. In addition to the bevies, we shared and enjoyed the chips and salsa, warm queso, and spicy mango ceviché.. The chips were crisp and fresh, the salsa was flavorful, the queso was balanced, and the spicy mango ceviché, which combined shrimp, avocado, cucumber, radish, and pico de gallo, was decadent.. I sampled the carne asada burrito bowl, which blended caramelized onion, charred scallion relish, jack cheese, and ancho chile sauce atop a bed of amazingly tasty rice and pinto beans!! 🤤 Now let's talk the Dodge's Cadillac margarita.. It is supposed to feature Casa Noble Blanco tequila, Grand Marnier, and house naranja liqueur.. I asked for the Casa Noble Reposado instead, but in some form or fashion, our server Jaquelynn interpreted my request as Clase Azul Reposado.. Unwittingly, I enjoyed a pair of premium-priced tequila-fashioned margaritas.. Now, were they $38.50 a piece good?? I can't say.. What I can say is they were among the smoothest and most flavorful margaritas I've ever had, so I didn't put up much of a fuss.. Jaquelynn was able to comp the ceviché at the end to lessen the impact of the high $$ cocktails, so all was good.. I'll finish by saying this.. Our visit to Blanco Cocina + Cantina was great.. The atmosphere inside the restaurant and on the patio is fantastic, Jaquelynn provided delightful and attentive service, and none of the three of us had any complaints whatsoever about our menu choices.. 10 out of 10 reconmend this venue for a Mexican fare restaurant that is a step above your typical Tex-Mex experience.. I would definitely return on a future business trip to the Tucson area..

Blanco Cocina + Catina is not just delicious, but extremely consistent. The space seems to have a recently upgraded design, and it’s always clean. The service is pretty good; one of our dishes came late, and the staff was attentive and apologetic. The staff has always been great over the years I have my usual, a skinny spicy marg, and the shrimp fajitas. I love the corn tortillas there! They are super fresh and tasty. The shrimp are always cooked perfectly, a dish I crave.

Me encantó la calidad del servicio muy buenos los tragos y la comida.Volvere y lo recomiendo mucho.Ambiente muy buena vibra,bien iluminado y alegre.

Great location. Consistently good food and service. Patio seating with views. Parking never a problem..

First and foremost would recommend this restaurant and absolutely will be back! The waitress we had was very attentive, helpful, and humorous. We were sat immediately since we had a reservation and were greeted by our waitress within a couple of minutes. My friend asked for a ginger ale, however, they did not serve this. Our waitress truly made sure that he was satisfied and came back to offer a ginger beer which was brought out in a glass with ice. The ginger beer was definitely a great substitute and recommendation for what he was wanting. We had ordered the chips and guac and queso with beef. The chips were fresh and crisp while the guacamole was fresh and flavorful. The queso was brought out without the beef; however, our waitress was quick to resolve this and brought us out a remake. We then ordered the steak fajitas to share and the food came out quickly and was hot and fresh. The steak was juicy, tender and melted in your mouth, while the onions and peppers that came with it had a delicious savory flavor. Overall experience is a 5/5 and would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for some great Mexican cuisine.

We had an amazing time. It was raining and the staff showed concern with patrons and were every patient with us since we lingered a little longer due to the storm. Ryan and his other amazing waitstaff were just incredible

I had such a great experience at blanco, and a huge part of that was thanks to bushra, the host. She was so welcoming from the moment we walked in and genuinely kind. Even during a busy rush she stayed there patient and professional.

Amanda was our server last night and she was fantastic. :) she made the whole evening special. Also- her personal touches were amazing! 🤩 absolutely will be coming back

We sat on the patio. I had taquitos, chips and salsa and lemonade. The chips were fresh, warm and crisp. The salsa was the right level of spicy. The taquitos were savory, crispy and addictive. The server was the right amount of attentive and friendly. Will keep coming

The food is tasty and the menu options offer wide selection of interesting dishes. I’ve eaten here three times within the last 18 months or so, and remember having modest expectations on my first visit but was surprised at how good everything was. And in the subsequent two visits was equally impressed with the food as well as the service and atmosphere.

Oh my boyfriend was a chef here delicious food has always been treated to so many fun loving dinners here definitely a special place in my book with my boyfriend Nick love love love so much this place many good great memories

Service was great and food was so amazing didn't even snap a picture. Highly recommend the combo plater.

My dad and I come here often and love it! The staff are all so fun and outgoing and the food is delicious

Can’t wait to come back. Our server Jorge, was incredible..so friendly and full of great recs. Even during the rush, he made it a point to check in and make sure we didn't run out of tasty salsa and chips. We were starving so this was very much appreciated. PRO TIP: ask for the “hot” salsas! The roasted tomatillo salsa was soo good 🤤..I couldn’t resist putting it on Eva-ry-thang. Happy hour margies were pretty good too!

Always enjoying going to Blanco Cocina for dinner. Service is always excellent. Prefer outside dining as inside tends to be too loud making it hard to have a conversation. Outdoor seating is wonderful. The chicken tinga burrito and enchiladas are delicious. I just wish parking was not such a challenge.

Food is always great and the service is amazing. Jorge was our server today and was wonderful! Very knowledgeable about the menu and helped with everything from drinks to food. 10/10 if you have the chance to sit with him, take it

One of the best Mexican restaurants in Tucson! The service is wonderful, the food makes you want to come back for more and the deserts are soooo good. If your too full, get them to go, they travel well.

Good salsa and views on the patio. Shared the warm queso and added beef. Really good! Only complaint no draft beer but bottle beer and cold glass to pour it in

Loved the sweet potato tacos, new item I hope they keep. I’m vegetarian so I appreciate choices like this. My wife had the cheese enchiladas, again delicious. Different from run of the mill enchiladas drowning in cheese and sauce. We’re making this spot a regular for us even though we live on the other side of town. Totally worth the drive.

A measure of a well run restaurant is when they perform under pressure- tonight was valentines and the place was packed. Despite that our service by Jaquelynn was exemplary and the food was served hot and perfectly prepared. Well done Blanco

Buena comida, excelente servicio y buen ambiente!

Food and drinks were delicious! I’m vegetarian and my waiter Jorge enthusiastically suggested the sweet potato tacos and I think they were better than any chicken or meat taco would have been. Tortillas are made fresh in house, the chips were great and not too salty and the margaritas were fresh! Would not say margs were shareable however so order your own. Great service great atmosphere would come again!

Great food and a lot of it. Most entrees are very large, but reasonably prices. We wanted to split 2 menu items and the kitchen actually plated each on separate plates so we were not forced to eat off of each others plate.

Our server took very good care of us and he was a bartender for 30 years, he was super friendly. The food we had was some tacos, mixed grill fajita, and the ceviche. I love teh food there but we went to Tucson for a trip so only got to go there once. Still very good dining!!!

I dont know if there are better places when visiting Tucson but this place did not disappoint. I absolutely devoured my food, so much so I forgot to take a picture. The queso is on point, margaritas delicious. Will definitely be back. If you sit outside on the patio you get some really nice views as well.

Excelente lugar, rica comida muy bonito y muy buena atencion

Buen lugar con vista panoramica

Fabulous salsas and queso

Me encanta..😋

Buena atención

I really enjoyed my time at this restaurant. The waiting area outside is comfortable and has sun coverage. I ordered a watermelon type Margherita and it was great! For my food I ordered the pork chile verde which was great other than whatever the sauce is served with it made my burrito soggy but the rice and charro beans that go with it were very good. We also ordered the queso which tasted great but was a bit too runny for my preference. Lastly, i had a wonderful server which really just tied in the whole experience. This place is totally worth the little drive up the mountain. Great job Blanco!

I gave this 1 star less due to the service because of our waiter. He did not come to check on us for a while. We finally found another waiter that was very nice and gave us our refills. The food was very good. The carnitas tacos were a nice small size taco. I recommend eating the Mexican Corn as an appetizer.

Lovely patio restaurant with a gorgeous view. Sam was an excellent waiter! He made sure I would get vegetarian meal and service was great. Their salsa and chips are the best I had in a while.

Food had good flavor. The fajitas was very filling…would recommend if you are hungry. The restaurant was very noisy inside…would suggest sitting outside.

My chicken tortilla soup was probably the worst I ever had. The margaritas are bomb and service was awesome. Will be back but I will try something different

Our waiter was fantastic. All of the food was good except for the rice. The rice was just too bland and had no flavor.

Really yummy salsa and chips.. nothing fancy on the food but yummy.. great great service for our waiter Eden!!! He filled our beverages made silly jokes and was on point!!!! The ice team is super refreshing!

Went on a date here and it was a great time! Even though they were super busy, the bartender was always checking in on us and making sure we had everything we needed. The wait staff was attentive and friendly as a whole. The environment is good, if a little bustling, but it's well worth it. It's a very open atmosphere setup, with a clear view over the city. The food is good, though the salsa is a bit too boring and mild, almost just tomatoe-y. But the carne asada I had was nicely seasoned and a little smokey, and it was tender through and through! Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking to have a nice sit-down on the north side of town and maybe some drinks!

The service here was great. So, ill just talk about the food. The rice was, as my friend put it, “As good as the rice at the Omni Resort at the Easter Buffet”. Its like they cook the rice in a pool of butter, if you can image that, and it tastes great. Same with the beans, but a little salty. I would guess that is due to the reduction. The carnitas was the same. Really salty but very moist and fell apart in your mouth.

Good food, perfect portion and excellent service. One of us ordered the grilled avocado, and the waiter made sure to point out the sides that has meat or chicken broth in them. They also have a really good spicier salsa to go with the chips.

Went on a Saturday and it was a busy day. Staff was clear with the wait time, and since it’s “in” the shopping area the wait time flew by. We sat outside, and it was so great. Ambiance/atmosphere was great. Inside did look good as well, but the sun was shining. Food wise, even though it was busy everything came out quickly. We had an app +entrees. Side note, the chips are very good!!! They’re thicker and not greasy tasting. The salsa has a little bit of kick to it, so if you’re sensitive to spice I’d pass. The entrees were great, and had lots of great flavor. Tacos are big for getting two, and the sides are pretty large portions. AND the back of house team takes food allergies and cross contamination seriously. I didn’t feel worried at all after talking to my server. Really that consideration would be the biggest reason I’d go back again. Beverages we stuck to a simple green tea hibiscus lemonade, so refreshing!

Industrial meets modern atmosphere. I loved the collage art wall! The food and drinks were good and mid range pricing. Cocktails about $15 and tacos $17.

Had the special lunch menu. Included Ice tea or soda. Food was good not great but good.Had a better time with my friend.

They were able to sit 7 people very quickly. The drinks were delicious. My jalapeño alcoholic drink had a kick to it. The burritos came in large portions. The tacos were flavorful. They continued to bring salsa, guacamole and chips. We were referred to this place by a family friend and it lived up to their recommendation.

We had tacos here on a Tuesday evening. The parking lot was quite full but there were spots. The tacos were of a generous size (had leftovers) and quite tasty, but what was a cut above were the sides . The rice was done with a crema or butter sauce and was quite good, and the refried beans and the black beans were much better than your average Mexican restaurant. Excellent tortillas . The quesobirria was a bit different but tasty. Would definitely return.

Muy buen sitio para tomar algo y botanear, excelente servicio y ambiente

Food is okay. Drinks are generally good. It does well because of its location at La Encantada mall- where you can charge high prices for mediocre food. Much better tacos, enchiladas, burritos at stands throughout Tucson. This trip, I got a $14 cheese enchilada that was small and had a sprig of cilantro as it’s “presentation”. I’ve made better at home. But it has a pretty patio and a variety of tequilas on hand. So go to drink and relax at sunset- not for amazing food. It’s pretty loud inside- the kitchen is open so if you sit at the bar or inside, you have lots of ambient noise. The bar has two screens for watching sports.

Dined here on 11/21/2021, sat at the bar. In all fairness I am working my way through every Mexican restaurant in Tucson and haven gotten through about 15 places in the last 60 days - I regret having to give Blanco a solid 3 (But you're are not alone, Seis will also be earning a 3 in a few moments based on my lunch on 11/23/2021). No beers on tap - canned / bottled beer selection a bit pedestrian. Service was decent. Food was just right of average. While there were a lot of people here - I believe the majority of people like 'Americanized' Mexican food. These are not authentic street tacos, and the personality / flavors left me a little wanting - to include the puréed salsa which was average. Ordered two Sentinel Peak beers (in a can), and the BBQ Pork and Corn Cheese Crisp which was ok. Again decent, but not 'wowed'. Part of the challenge for Blanco - there are SO MANY authentic / incredible Mexican spots in Tucson - so going with a 3!

The menu was recently updated but is solid as ever (we still really miss the mole) - 3 of us, 2 steak and one chicken fajita. The chips and salsa were great and the chips were hot. The guacamole was very good as well. We've always enjoyed their margaritas and they did not disappoint. The server was excellent, however the kitchen missed one of the orders entirely (even after the food server said they'd be right back with the 3rd dish). I thought the condiments plate (corn, salsa, beans, tortillas, guacamole) looked far less fresh than the fajita plate (meat) - almost like it was created ahead of time. Also, for fajitas, odd that no sour cream was provided. Oddly, the tortillas are so small that they are more like street tacos, fitting only a small piece of meat and very little else. I had wished they were twice as big and half as many. The bar was super slow on getting a second round of drinks (like we're talking 20 minutes or more) and it was clear the server was a little frustrated with the kitchen and bar issues, though she was great about covering for it. We're big fans of Blanco, hoping this was a misstep with the kitchen and bar.

Our waiter was very good and the service was excellent. The margaritas are the best in town. However, we were disappointed in the menu changes. The tacos were good but nothing to rave about. We miss the sweet potato bowl and burritos...they were excellent and kept us coming back many times. The real complaint we have are dogs being allowed on the patio. We do not want to eat with dog hair blowing around our food...that is very unsanitary and quite disgusting. We won't be back anytime soon. Very disappointing visit.

Thought it’d be just as great as the Blanco in PHX, was very let down. Service sucked, food was mediocre m and took 45-55 minutes. The tacos looked like ones I’d make at home. For four tacos that is absurd. The only decent thing was the cheese crisp.

Atmosphere is nice but we waited 15 minutes after we were seated and had to leave to find another restaurant because the servers did not know we were there.

I was not expecting this as the crunchy beef tacos....I was hooeful it was shredded beef tacos in a fried curnchy tortilla shell. Not "Taco bell" in such a beautiful area and on the more high end place in thr Tucson La Encantada . I was not impressed. I did say something and the place was just not what I thought it would be. I still took a few bites and the rice had lots of butter and flavor. I just wont be back. Sorry.

Sadly, we had a very poor experience at Blanco last night. The food took over an hour to arrive to our table. Only two of the four meals arrived at that time. After another 10 minutes the ceviche arrived for the other two diners. The fish in the ceviche was frozen solid. The Manager was called over and he did comp our meals. But, what was to be an enjoyable family gathering became a stressful experience.

Went to dinner with friends. So very disappointed in the food. Flavorless and bland. The rice and beans tasted like they came prepackaged. No favor. The tacos I got were Mahi fish and the fish was just dry. Our friend had a some burrito or chimichanga. He said it tasted like it was a frozen burrito put into a microwave. Our other friend had carne soda tacos that had like 5 pieces of meat in them. My husband had a hamburger. I had a bite of it and that was only thing we ordered that waa decent. Never again. So disappointed. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Food is good. Service and Atmosphere, not so much. Sat at a table for two and was within elbow's reach of the table to the right and to the left; there is absolutely no personal space. Waiters take orders from guests right between your table, which interrupts eating or conversation. So much so, the rear ends of waiters and busers are about 3 inches from your face as you eat. It's awkward. Staff wipe down tables and push food in your direction as you dine due to the lack of space, and also stand right in the middle of the pass-through way as doing so. You have to turn your body, and squeeze through to walk out of your table. Staff repeatedly stop while in the middle of the passageway to take orders. It's rude and inconsiderate to the party eating behind them. While this may have been a temporary arrangement for Valentine's Day, it is unfair for customers to dine in such proximity where they have to pause their meal because waiters and busers have their behinds within 3 inches of your meal space. The restaurant was also late in tending to my reservation and gave vague instructions upon checking in, such as "we'll let you know". Most staff I interacted with (not all) seemed full of ego. I usually don't write negative reviews, but in my experience, this restaurant does not deserve its Google rating.
