- LSLindsey Smuk1 day ago5.0A girlfriend took me here this weekend and oh my delish!! I can never say no to some tacos and Guacamole and this place really shined! Both the food and margaritas we sooo good! Server was very sweet and helpful.Definitely will be coming again!
- KKKoryxne5 days ago4.0As this was my second time here, I feel it is necessary to write my review at this time for myself and others to know that Blanco Cantina is definitely somewhere you should go for a Taco Tuesday at least once in your life, even if purely for the atmosphere. The tacos are decent and consistent, there are a lot of options and add-ons. We had a kid at the table and were offered crayons which was very nice. The drinks were delicious. Presentation of the food was beautiful and easy to take photos of. Should you eat here? Yes. Will you enjoy it? Yes. It's more about the vibes than it is about the food, but the good vibes will make any food taste great. Highly recommend.
- JCJ Miranda CueNov 16, 20255.0Delicious! 😋 I especially loved all the flavour in the tortilla soup! It was a really good side with the quesadillas. My only complaint was that they sat people right next to us even when their was more tables to space people out - if the restaurant isnt full then standard practice should be leave a table in between because - it was harder to have a conversation when their next table is unnecessarily close.
- QBQ BNov 16, 20252.0Decided to get 8 tacos (two of each different proteins) and Birria tacos. The LITTLE amount of meat that came on the taco was completely dry and tasted beyond bland. We thought it was a good idea to have a night out. It’s cheaper and a lot BETTER to go to Taco Bell sadly. Server was good though.
- UFUltimate1012 Gun FighterNov 8, 20255.0The manager Dean runs the place awesome: our server Ash was amazing (Dean we suggest she gets a raise) as well she was very personal and great to deal with. The kitchen staff and awesome too, very accommodating. My buddy Ryan and his dog Rocky come here every week, it’s our version of cheers. The staff know us all and it’s the best place to get tacos during happy hour you won’t be disappointed. Seth/Ryan/Rocky
