    Group of 7 for a birthday celebration seated at a high top. Pretty noisy so hard to talk at the table. I wish they has more alternatives to the high tops. Server and food were great and will head back again.

    Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Let down by cleanliness. Lots of food not cleared from the floor and restrooms had lots of paper on the floor.

    We have a very nice dinner. Our waiter was very good at pointing out what was good on the menu and what cocktails were the most popular!

    Let’s talk. First off, props to whoever decided to plop this joint next to a Trader Joe’s. Nothing says “post-taco enlightenment” like stocking up on frozen dumplings and two-buck chuck. Cinco de Mayo? Reservations? In this economy? Yeah, OpenTable somehow pulled a rabbit out of its hat. I half-expected a mariachi band to tackle me at the door, but instead, the hostess greeted me like I was a regular at her grandma’s kitchen table. Staff here? They’re running this circus like they’ve got Red Bull in their veins and a vendetta against chaos. Respect. Now, let’s address the Athletic non-alcoholic beer. Look, I’ve had my share of sad, sober-adjacent beverages, but this one? It’s like someone took a crisp lager and whispered sweet nothings to it. Refreshing? Hell yes. The chips and salsa? Generous. Like, “we’re-not-judging-how-many-baskets-you-need” generous. Bless them. But here’s where things get… complicated. For years, I’ve sworn Blanco’s steak fajitas were the Valley’s secret handshake. Juicy, smoky, alive. Then some madman in the kitchen decided to play Chopped with the recipe. The new skirt steak? Tender, sure. But drenched in sweet ancho soy and something called “burnt onion butter”? It’s like they invited a sugar-crazed pastry chef to a carne asada party. And the cheese? A lone, melted splatter that looked less like garnish and more like a dairy-related cry for help. Are they bad? Nah. They’re fine. But fine is a four-letter word in my book. Bring back the old fajitas! Still, credit where it’s due: They pulled off Cinco de Mayo without a single broken margarita glass or existential meltdown. That’s no small feat. So, gracias, Blanco. But seriously—fix the damn fajitas.

    Mahi tacos were delicious. Chocolate Tres Leches didn’t work too well — preferred the old version. The salt level was pretty high on everything. Could be toned down for my taste!
