" Blanco is a modern twist on traditional food. The atmosphere is lively, and the service was exceptional. I really enjoyed the queso and the freshly made margaritas. The enchiladas were thick but a bit heavy; I would recommend sharing them. Overall, great place for a night out with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in Coronado, you must stop by Blanco! They have a margarita pitcher special that is tough to beat. I was particularly impressed with the friendly staff and the vibrant decor. I would recommend the ceviche—it was refreshing and paired nicely with the chips. The only downside was the noise level during peak hours. Overall, a fantastic dining experience and I’ll be back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Blanco Cocina + Cantina with a couple of friends and it was an exceptional experience! The outdoor seating added to the charm, and the fajitas we ordered were truly delicious—sizzling hot and packed with flavor. The staff was friendly, and our server checked in on us frequently. I'll definitely be returning for another round of margaritas and tacos soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing rave reviews about Blanco, I was excited to try! The décor is bright and inviting, and the staff really made an effort to ensure we were taken care of. The rice and beans with my fajitas were perfect, though I found the fajita meat a bit salty. Overall, it's a lovely place but could improve on food consistency. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of dining at Blanco for the first time last week, and I was very impressed! The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, and the staff is simply amazing. I particularly fond of their margaritas—they're hands down some of the best I've had. I ordered the smash burger, and while it was great, I think I’d stick to the traditional Mexican options next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" A friend and I came to Blanco after hearing glowing reviews about their tacos and margaritas. I ordered the mahi tacos, and they didn’t disappoint! Each bite was fresh and packed with flavor—a real highlight. The staff was energetic and made the whole experience enjoyable. I highly recommend it for a casual night out with friends or family. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had quite a mixed experience at Blanco Cocina + Cantina. While the setting is lively and staff are incredibly friendly, I was a bit underwhelmed by the authenticity of the food. I ordered the tamale and found it to be on the saltier side. Hopefully, they can work on the food consistency. I loved the outdoor seating area, so I might give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)
