Reviews Blanco Cocina + Cantina

Nice spot for good margaritas. Bartender was super nice and friendly. Guac is decent as well. It salsa not my fave as a bit too tomato paste tasting for my liking.

Awesome pork rib chimichanga! Quest dip is to die for! Most importantly very friendly service, everyone was so friendly and took the time to say hello or goodbye! We went twice in the few days in town and both times everyone was as friendly!

UPDATE. We had the opportunity to come back and enjoy a great lunch. Everything was spot on. Fresh and delicious. I’m upgrading my review to 5 stars based on the most recent visit. None of the original issues were a problem when we came back. I would highly recommend Blanco Cocina for great Mexican food and delicious drinks. My original review is below. I really wanted to come here after reading a great review and learning of their James Beard awards. We came on a Saturday afternoon and the atmosphere is nice very family friendly but it’s really just a nice big room with some fun murals on the walls. I had a spicy skinny margarita, which was very good, and I was surprised that it was skinny because it tasted just like a regular margarita and it benefited from the spicy salt, rim and slices of jalapeño pepper in the drink itself. I ordered a chicken chimichanga enchilada style with green and red sauce combination along with the special that comes with a crispy beef taco. The food took longer than expected, which is the reason for the two stars. That and the fact that when I have a chimichanga, I expect it to be crispy because it’s deep-fried. They left the sauce on for so long under the heat lamps that sadly all the sauce was absorbed into the tortilla, and it was just soggy. So no point in having it chimichanga style if it’s just going to be soggy like a burrito. Also, the cheese was so melted by the heat lamp on top that it was separating. Aside from that the chimichanga did have a good flavor. I think if we go at a time that’s not so busy maybe they’ll have time to pay attention to the food a little better and it could be a better experience. The taco was crispy but the ground beef could’ve had more flavor. The thing about tacos at a Mexican restaurant usually is you have to eat them so fast because they’re soggy and the shell is soaking wet. That is not the case here, it was perfect other than I would’ve liked a little bit more spice to the taco meat but overall it was good and the shell was crispy the way it should be. Our server was good and anticipated our need for more chips so there’s an extra point for that. I want to try this restaurant again because I think my chimichanga could’ve been better and will hold out hope for another visit at which time I will update this review

I came here for the first time and i enjoyed the experience. My server Thomas was so nice and checked up on my throughout the time I was there. I got the chicken tortilla soup and it was delicious. Thanks for the enjoyable lunch experience.

I stopped in for lunch, we got seated quickly, and the server was super friendly. The food came quick, and I got the fajitas absolutely delicious. I will definitely be back here .
