    Didn’t get asked how our food was. Had to ask for cutlery and napkins. It was a quiet night at the restaurant so the service should have been better. The waitress was very friendly.

    Our server was very attentive. We didn't wait long for food or drinks. We had dirty fries, enchiladas and 3 tacos and it was all delicious! This was the best service I've had at a restaurant in years!!! Would definitely recommend.

    The mojo pork tacos were by far some of the best tacos. It wasn't dry and pasty but tender and flavorful. We were there for happy hour and enjoyed their $3.50 tacos. Music was a bit loud so it was a little hard to hear each other.

    Service was fantastic. Our food was quite tasty. Could have used a bit more flavour in my enchilada but we all enjoyed our meals. Drinks were great as well.

    Blancos always does well with the drinks and tacos but the service the last two times has not been great. We sat at the outside bar and the bartenders acted like we were an inconvenience, didn’t talk to us, had to wave them over for them to take our order as they leaned against the bar and chatted. Was very disappointed from a service perspective

    Confession; It was not exactly what I expected. I needed a reserved table for a meal before an event at the Jubilee. I overestimated the time required to eat. That is better than the opposite situation. The food was good - at least as good as other Mexican restaurants that I have been to in the city. The prices are unbelievably good. i mentioned to my friend that the bill would have been as high at the "Chopped Leaf" - fast food.
