Another delicious lunch spot! 😍
The fajitas were absolutely perfect! We added shrimp and extra queso, and every bite was packed with flavor. 🔥🍤🧀
The taco salad was just as good the tortilla bowl was perfectly crisp, the chicken was seasoned well, and everything tasted fresh.
If you’re craving Mexican food in South Edmonton, Blanco Cantina is definitely worth checking out. We’d happily order both dishes again😁

I gave this place another try, and decided now that I’m never going back. Got the dip platter and mostly all our chips were crushed. Guacamole, barely had any flavour . Would’ve asked for more chips but our server did not stop by. The tacos were piled in pico de gallo. They were absolutely terrible. Maybe they were trying to mask the freezer burnt overcooked shrimp. Honestly, the worst tacos I’ve ever had. Both of our tacos were cold not even warm. Not sure how this place is even open. The server seemed to be busy, but then the manager just stood there the whole time and flirted with Someone. Maybe you should be actually seeing what’s going on and managing. I was there for over an hour and a half and he didn’t even move. He might’ve went to go comb his beard. I’ve worked at the restaurant industry, and I would not want that guy on my team. I’ve honestly had better tacos at Taco Bell. That’s how terrible the food is here. So sad that when you spend your hard earned money and get a bunch of junk. Ice cold tasteless tacos . Honestly, My friends even asked why I went back there, because the last two times we all went, it was absolutely terrible . I wanted to give the restaurant another shot and I’m very disappointed.

Took my sons here for a celebration. Tacos are always great! I would say that the Bulgogi Steak tacos were disappointing for my son. They came out SO overloaded with stuff that he couldn’t even pick it up and eat it. If it’s to ‘add value’, overloading the taco with pickled carrot, slaw and cucumber doesn’t do that. Photo shown is the Jalisco Hot Chicken Tacos - i had the housemade sweet and spicy sauce on the side, and found the tacos had plenty of heat with the white hot mayo already, so if you’re a spice baby like me, you’ve been warned!
Otherwise, their coconut margarita is the bomb, service is great, and the food is usually on par with expectations.

Had a great experience at Blanco Cantina in Edmonton. The heated and covered dog-friendly patio was honestly perfect, especially during cold and rainy weather.
It was showering outside and chilly, but the patio setup made it comfortable and relaxing to still enjoy dinner with my dog Alfie beside me. He was calmly sitting right underneath the table while I enjoyed my food, which made the experience feel truly dog-friendly and welcoming.
The guacamole was absolutely delicious and definitely one of the highlights, highly recommended. The food, atmosphere, and patio setup all made for a really enjoyable visit.
It is always great finding restaurants that genuinely make it easy for dog owners to comfortably dine outside even when the weather is not ideal. Would definitely come back again.
