We had a fantastic time at Blanco. This is easily one of my favorite spots, and I've been several times before. The food is great, the service is spectacular, and the overall vibe never disappoints. I absolutely love this place and will definitely keep coming back.

Service incredibly slow. Took 15 minutes for waitress to bring us waters and chips. She kept disappearing and was just bad overall.

I come here whenever I'm out and about in the Oakbrook area and my experience is always very pleasant. The food is absolutely delicious (I really need the recipe for that rice!!) and the drinks are always good. It is slightly pricey but I believe it's worth the quality of food they serve. This trip, I came with my vegetarian friend and he loved his food as well. That sweet potato bowl has several layers of flavor! Love this place.

Great service and delicious food! We had an amazing family dinner and everyone loved their dishes. We all agreed it's probably one of the best guacamoles we've ever had. The staff was super friendly. We'll definitely be back soon!
Diana
We've had great times here but unfortunately this last time was horrible. There was hardly anyone there. Had to remind our waitress 2 times of missing food and they got one of our orders wrong so our table was left to twiddle our thumbs for almost an hour until they got it right
Vanessa
Best Margaritas! I always come back for brunch! I bring all my friends on Sundays. Love it here.
Joyce
Definitely not worth the money. Everything tasted as if it came right off a grocery store shelf. I will not be back.
Jamie
Delicious food, but unfortunately service was lacking. I got there before my friend and the waiter didn't give chips/salsa until after we had to flag him down to even place our orders. We then were ignored the rest of our dinner until I had to ask someone else to get our waiter so we could get the check.
Heather
Our server was amazing. I'm sorry that I can't remember his name. He has some great suggestions and some great pairings truly appreciate it.

Happy Hour at its best! Enjoyed the tortilla soup for the first time and it was outstanding! Service is always excellent.
The four of us had excellent meals, with everything being delicious, except the charro beans, which were a bit bland. The service was outstanding and the atmosphere was bright and inviting. Will go again.

I wish I could give this place zero stars. This was honestly the worst restaurant experience I’ve had in Illinois. If you’re Black, I would strongly recommend avoiding this place—I felt from the beginning that we were not treated with the same respect or care as other customers. The manager’s attitude came across as passive-aggressive, and at times, her behavior felt racially insensitive.
We ordered birria tacos, which came out extremely burnt, and I found hair in my food. When I reported it, the manager asked to see the hair, as if I was lying. We decided to exchange the food for another option, but in hindsight, we should have left. The replacement meal came out, and my friend found hair in her burger as well. Before the food even arrived, the manager made a sarcastic comment like, “Let me move these utensils since there’s hair floating around,” which felt dismissive and unprofessional.
Our waiter barely checked on us and avoided our table like he didn’t want to deal with us at all. The whole experience was unprofessional and uncomfortable. And for the record—stop assuming Black customers don’t have money or don’t tip. Even after all of this, I still tipped the waiter, though he didn’t deserve it.
The food wasn’t good either. The corn tasted like it was drenched in straight lime juice. Overall, I do not recommend this restaurant. Save your money and your time.
Ill share the picture of the food so you can see how appealing it looks I wouldn't have served this to anyone.

Great experience and options for Thanksgiving! Tracy the manager was so welcoming and made the evening perfect!

Waiter was great and so was the salsa, chips and guacamole. Beef taco was a little greasy.

Our server was wonderful! She didn't rush us and we sat for 2 hours. She was sweet and kind.
