" What an enjoyable dining experience! The ambiance reflects a modern take on traditional Mexican food; everything was extremely fresh. I can’t recommend the chicken nachos enough—they are enough to share between three people! Service was prompt, even on a busy night. My only complaint was the volume was a bit high. Can't wait to go back with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to try Blanco given all the hype! We started with the queso and chips, which were decent; however, the salsa was not homemade and felt store-bought. I ordered the shrimp tacos and they were good but could have used a little more spice. The environment was lively and enjoyable, but I was left wanting a more authentic experience. Overall, a nice spot but not what I had hoped for in terms of authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough about my experience at Blanco—complete and utter bliss! The food was impeccable; I went for the enchiladas and they were hands down the best I’ve had. Not only was the food fresh, but the cocktails were divine as well. The bartender knew his craft well! I brought my family, and the staff treated us like royalty. If you’re considering a night out, look no further! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience was somewhat mixed. While the service team was incredible, I felt the food did not live up to the expectations based on the reputation. The tacos had potential but lacked spices and depth. A bit of a letdown. That being said, I believe the restaurant is new and growing, so I might give it another chance in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! What a treat. I had lunch with my sister at Blanco and the food was to die for! The taco selection was fantastic and we shared a chicken and avocado dish that was extremely tasty. The atmosphere was lively, and the service was quick. Dessert was also a delightful ending. I won’t hesitate to come back here again soon. " (*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*)
