    Unfortunately Blanco has gone downhill. The food portions have been cut substantially while the prices are higher. Even the chip bowl they bring you is tiny. There are better Mexican restaurants that offer better food and service. We won’t be returning although this was a regular place for us.

    We have dined at Blanco prior to tonight. This evening we found the food was below average. Ordered Green Chili Stew - placed in a bowl with a scoop and smothered with lettuce. No sauce. We expected more quality for the price.

    We eat at Blanco often. Was disappointed today in the Crisp I ordered. It was burnt - not just the edges but parts of the bottom as well. Toppings were generous so could eat around the burnt parts. Saw several burnt burritos on other diners plates as we walked out. Must be a new cook.

    The food is always great but every time we come we have a reservation on the early side. We usually arrive 5 to 10 minutes early and they always make us wait to be seated even though the restaurant is 1/3 empty. The table we were seated at was available the entire time. It’s nice to see that happy hour is back.

    We enjoyed our time at Blanco Taco. It appeared that they were short handed but our waiter did the best he could given the size of our party and multiple tables that he was serving also.

    We had a reservation and were able to be seated right away. The food was very good overall. However, the service was disappointing. Our waitress had to be called over any time we needed something….she did not check-in on her own. My son’s meal was incorrect and he had to wait another 20 minutes to receive his correct order while the rest of us ate our meals before they got cold. No manager came by. No offers of any credit or otherwise was offered. We booked the reservation to celebrate two birthdays and noted same on Open Table. Yet no acknowledgment of the birthdays was made either.

    We arrived before 6PM so a few of us took advantage of Happy Hour ala cart tacos. Along with tacos we shared guacamole & chips and a cheese crisp. The wait staff were knowledgeable and efficient.

    Not up to the usual standard. Service was slow and the hostess seemed spaced out. She took her time seating us and told us our table wasn’t ready ( we had reservations). While we waited ( it was dead quiet), a couple walked in without reservations and were seated immediately. The hostess then answered the phone, walked away, and eventually returned. She then took us to a table that had been sitting empty since our arrival…why the delay and complete disinterest in us? Rude!
