- HHarrisVIPSan Diego •80 reviews5.0Dined on Apr 16, 2025We made a reservation via the Open Table app before a Padre game. While checking in on time, the hostess told me it would be a 20 minute wait, even though we had a reservation. She then told me they don't take reservations for game days, even though I made on on the open Table app. Eventually, she was able to find us a table. Food and drinks were good, as always. Service was solid.More infoBlind BurroPrice: Moderate• Mexican / Southwestern• Downtown•4.4
- AAnnetteSan Francisco Bay Area •3 reviews5.0Dined on Apr 9, 2025The absolute best experience at Blanco Fashion Valley. I took my staff there for birthday celebrations. I first had to call because we were late for our reservation due to meetings and traffic. The lady on the phone, Olivia, was so nice and helpful. Then the food was all amazing!! Service was amazing. And even when they called the manager over so I could get everything settled, he was great. Usually there’s one person that’s not the best, but everyone was so great and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. The drinks were yummy and so pretty too. 🙂More infoBlanco Cocina + Cantina – Fashion ValleyPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Mission Valley•4.7
