    Had a nice family dinner here with our adult children. Good value and decent service. The music was a bit too loud even for our adult children. Was hard for us to hear each other, we were in the inner patio area.

    Service was slow even though restaurant was empty. We asked to sit on the patio at this one table but were told there was a reservation for that table. We were there for almost 2 hours from 6:15pm to 8pm and the reservation didn't even come. The hostesses need to learn how to do their job better. We also had to try and track our server down multiple times. Food was mediocre. The only great thing were the raspberry jalapeño margaritas.

    One of the more attentive servers we have had a blanco, not sure if it was because they were properly staffed? Orders were taken and brought out quickly. Gauc came out quick aswell. Sat on the patio, they sat another group next to us.after us being there for atleast a hour. Didn't love that, as you would not do that for a table inside. No mention or anything, the server just plopped them down.

    Absolutely Incredible! We had the BEST time at Blanco! HANNAH was our server and she was absolutely phenomenal—so warm, attentive, and on point with everything. The service blew us away, the food was unreal, and the vibe was perfect. Honestly, 10/10 experience. RUN, don’t walk—you need to go! Can’t recommend it enough!❤️
