Got the fajitas here a while back. Could literally grab the iron with my hand, must've let it sit for too long, or they don't cook it the way fajitas should be. Very disappointing.

We all agreed that the margaritas were fine, and we like the atmosphere, but the food was maybe average. None of us finished our meals, not even the chips and salsa. So come here for a drink and maybe share an appetizer then move on to somewhere better.

We had the opportunity to go for an unexpected date lunch recently so we opted to try out Blanco Cantina Lethbridge. (March 27th around 2pm).Unfortunately 1/2 price nachos is no longer a thing on Wednesday’s but we got them anyway and a set of six classic tacos which were a happy hour special.Our service was pretty much impeccable and hit just the right blend of attentive but not hovering. refills on our drinks (soda, as it was mid day) we’re plentiful and our waters were kept well supplied. Anything we needed arrived quickly and the waitress gave us exceptional ordering recommendations when we mentioned we were first timers.We had the chicken tinga nachos with no onions or cilantro, and they were absolutely amazing. We ate every speck of the pile of nachos easily and if we return we’d definitely revisit this choice. Juicy and moist while not being overly wet like some nachos suffer from these nachos hit the mark. Toppings were ample but not overboard. I appreciated that the sour cream and salsa came on the side so we could add as Much or as little as we liked. Even full price they felt like a decent value. These days that’s important. I’d go so far as to say I’m not sure the service could have been any better.Hubs was pretty hungry so we got an assortment of six mix and match classic tacos which we didn’t end up finishing as it was just too much food even though we hadn’t eaten much this day so we were pretty hungry! We settled on a mix of flour and corn tortillas (all are soft) and then a mix of shrimp, Barbacoa and chicken tacos. We left off onions and added Cotijo and pico on the side - all the go with a come that way so you can add what you want and how you want it. This was perfect for two of us since we were sharing. While all were delicious the shrimp tacos were our favourite. That said I think if we were return we’d probably come back later in the day and have a margarita and the nachos.Disclaimer: this is a chain however it is a fairly recent addition to the Lethbridge dining scene.Ps. Ask for extra napkins! You will need em!Parking: Parking will be more plentiful and free if you go after parking enforcement ends for the day. During the day it can be challenging and you must pay using the city app or machine.

Service is the worst I’ve ever experienced. I’ve been here several times and I plan on returning because I LOVE the crispy cauliflower burrito but I’m keeping track of the servers who 1) are rude once you’ve settled up and they’ve gotten your 20% or2) are rude because they’re not your server and you call them over because your own server is MIA and your drink has been empty for 15 minutes.

Was really looking forward to trying this new hot restaurant, I have gone twice now so here is my honest review:The Good:-the atmosphere is a viiiibe, we loved feeling like we could be dining anywhere in the world while we were in here- great colors, interesting art and the music is not crazy loud. In lethbridge every restaurant is Beige, it's bland, it's boring... so this is a breath of fresh air :)-loved the affordable and delicious churro chips for desert,they were $5 and the best part of our meal both times forsure!-loved the virgin mocktails, however we only got 1 each due to the price, if they lowered the cost or increased the size we would have bought 2 or 3 each*Not So Good:-when I think of Mexican food I think large or unlimited baskets of delicious Taco chips with abundant salsa, large platters with beans, rice, dripping enchiladas and needing to package up half my meal and undo my pants top button to dig into dessert... however I left this restraunt hungryyyy after both visits. Literally went through a drive through on the way home after dinner lol. This was hugely disappointing considering the big price tag on essentially everything except the churro chips-very small portions, not saucey, ooee, gooey dripping delicious and there will be noooo cheese pull from your burrito- all ingredients are extremely sparce..-very small basket of chips (I counted the second time and there were 9 chips for 2 people) with 1 tbsp of salsa-very expensive for what you get, no left overs will ever come home with youAs the food and commercial real estate leases sky rocket, I do feel bad for restraunts, it's hard to be in business and I understand maximizing your profits by minimizing portions, however adding another cup of rice to a dish, pouring another 3 tbsp of sauce on a burrito and offering a large basket of very cheap chips/salsa would really help customers justify spending money here. Based on the cost of these portions I would not return or recommend to anyone who enjoys a standard Mexican feast.
Very upscale feeling! Food was good, service was top notch out server was fantastic.

We love to visit Blanco's, this time it was not as great as usual. The music was beyond loud, hard to converse at the table, needed to yell to be heard at a table of 6. Food was tasty but cold and dressed less than normal, we ordered the 6 taco item to share but it was just not as good as usual. Nachos were tasty :) I always get the chili coconut marg, this time it wasn't mixed as great/dressed with coconut/chili so it was not as great as it usually is. Overall, it was good but not as great as usual.

I've consistently had excellent service and food here. The atmosphere is great. The nachos and jalapeno raspberry margarita are a must try. Great weekly specials as well.
