    After experiencing six dishes over the past three visits, the only thing I would order again is the tortilla soup. They overuse salt and everything is pretty unimaginative. The servers are decent but half the time they are understaffed. I wish I liked this place more because it was one of my kid’s first job in high school. I have to say that the Fox restaurants in Colorado are inferior to the ones in Arizona for whatever reason.

    Bella was an outstanding server. Managers are friendly and welcoming, as are the host staff.
    Blanco Cocina + Cantina - DenverResponded on May 20, 2025
    Hi J, Thank you for your feedback. While I’m glad you enjoyed the chips, salsa, and agua fresca, I’m sorry the rest of your visit didn’t meet expectations. A lukewarm burrito, undercooked bacon, and slow service are not reflective of our standards, and we’ll be addressing this with our team. I understand how the environment added to your frustration, and I apologize we didn’t provide a more enjoyable experience. If you’re open to giving us another chance, I’d love the opportunity to make things right. Best, Michael Claxton Assistant General Manager

    Waitress: no service interest, despite tip. Not for Mexicans.

    Appeared to be short staffed, both servers and kitchen staff; orders for our table of 6 were incorrect and food was cold. i would not recommend and certainly would not return
