We decided to go here with some friends for the first time to try it out during Restaurant Week, and it exceeded our expectations! Everything from the accommodations we were given for seating (there was an infant in our party), the friendly server, to the huge servings of food was amazing. Definitely a better experience than at some other restaurants we've visited during Restaurant Week. Sometimes it feels like restaurants skimp on you if you order the special deal, but at Blanco it seemed no different than if we'd ordered off the regular menu. We were so pleasantly surprised, and will most likely return for another meal in the near future.

First time goer to this spot. Food was decent, we took advantage of restaurant weeks menu otherwise menu pricing is a little expensive for portion size. Nonetheless ambient is great, decor is good, and service was great! I would go back again.

I have been to this spot a few times and it's just not great food. Quality is poor, salsa is awful, and the alcohol free drinks I've tried are terrible. Probably will not come back.

First visit. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food delicious. Had grilled street corn and husband cheese enchilada. Will go back again. Nice ambience. Food tasted fresh and healthy. Chips and salsa excellent.

Second visit and both times, so much fun. Food is excellent, drinks are wonderful but the service people just take everything to the next level. I ate the sweet potato enchiladas and loved them!

We love this location. We visit often and plan on going back in a couple weeks. We love their fajitas and skinny spicy margaritas. Their mango ceviche is good too if looking for an appetizer aside from their guacamole which is excellent as well.

Came here for a birthday dinner with my husband. The restaurant was aware and didn't provide anything special for him but had a waiter who didn't wait on us interrupt us in the middle of our meal and drinks to take away a plate I was still eating off of and demand payment. He was terribly rude... had no idea who he was, as he didn't take our order or wait on us at all. He seemed to be annoyed that he didn't know how to communicate with Deaf patrons. Cannot recommend this restaurant ever again... no Disability sensitivity training and no manners whatsoever.

Service was good at first, but after our meal was delivered, crickets...no attention to us. Booked for 5 for a girls bday. No mention about her bday (got a card) but no extra bday dessert for her, or asked about it. Felt forgotten....

We love Blanco and have eaten there countless times. The food was excellent. We took advantage of the menu of the day with three courses and were happy with the quality of the food for the $30 as well as the serving sizes. I had one of their skinny margaritas, which came highly recommended and was excellent. We had a server who seemed like he was trying — and he was friendly — but missed some of the most basic things — water refills, checking on my drink at the bar, etc. I normally chalk this up to a busy night and maybe short staffing, but it was very quiet and not busy at all the first half hour we were there (which is why we deliberately go earlier for dinner). All in all we'll definitely be back, but hopefully the service has improved. We did have a woman come by a couple times who didn't appear to be a server, but we weren't sure who she was since she wasn't dressed in what the servers wear nor did she have a name tag or introduce herself.

great atmosphere, was very modern and aesthetic. food and drink is slightly pricey but i was very please with the flavors especially with the desserts. mixed alcoholic drinks were a hit or miss in my taste would recommend for a nice lunch ever once in a while while shopping for within the area.

Food was outstanding. We had fajitas and their spicy skinny margaritas. The service was perfect, too. I definitely recommend this location if looking for good food, service and ambiance.

Had an amazing time as always. Used to go here every Tuesday with my family.. Just me and my 2 girls went out tonight and had mommy daughter night. It was perfect. Food was really good too.

Blanco Cocina + Cantina never disappoints! My boyfriend and I have been coming here for years now, and we love trying new things on the menu. We came here for lunch to try out their Restaurant Week special. We have a few go to items on the menu, so it was fun trying out new entrees and saving room for dessert for once! Everything was delicious and we look forward to coming back again soon.

We made a reservation for 10 for my birthday dinner but more of my family showed up. Blanco Cocina + Cantina was so understanding and accommodating. The food was fresh and flavorful. The drinks were refreshing and perfectly made. Overall, we all had a great experience and will definitely be going back again in the future.

I was there with two friends. Our favorite minute items were the drinks: the blackberry and the strawberry moon-alcoholic and the skinny margarita. We also ordered the cheese crisp with tomatoes (and?—it wasn't my dish) and the tortilla soup. The latter was not quite as good as the last time we were here and the cheese crisp was good but not outstanding. The wait staff were friendly and attentive and the meal came without a long wait. We will likely return to try other things on the menu.
