Love it. Downtown is so much more lively these days and this location is prime. We sat indoors and brought our 3 year old - he did well and we enjoyed our night. The skinny margarita is great. Loved the cheese crisp and our entrees. Everyone was nice and attentive. I can’t wait to go back!

We have visited Blanco several times now. The online reservation process works very well and the timing is accurate. The food is great, we love the queso and chips, rice, shrimp, and chimichangas are some of our favorites. The service has always been great and the atmosphere is family friendly. Of note, there isn’t a printed kids menu, but they do have kid sized options. Enjoy!

Service was great! Unfortunately, as far as food, there was too much of usually good things. The rice station like eating a strip of butter. The chips had far too much salt (and I like salt!). And the Chimi had so much cheese that it was the only flavor. We like all of these ingredients but there still has to be some balance. Unfortunately it was just not there this time.

The overall experience was very good. Food was reasonably priced with good portions and food quality. The service was the best I’ve experienced in a long time. I don’t think my glass was ever 2/3 empty because she came and filled it when she saw it getting low. The tortillas were excellent, and the tortilla chips were fresh.
