    We had an amazing time and dinner here. Highly recommend this place! Thankfully we had a reservation for the 4 of us because there was a line out the door! Food was delicious and none of us had any leftovers. Good people watching; seems to be a popular place.

    Other than being loud and a one bowl of chips that was really salty, we definitely loved our dinner at Blanco! The salsa and guacamole were the perfect appetizers, and chicken chimichanga is HUGE (perfect to split with my mom, and they were kind enough to go ahead and plate separately for each of us)! Prices are really reasonable, especially to be in such a popular/touristy location. It’s become our go-to place to eat before an event at Bridgestone!

    It is downtown Nashville on Broadway so expect prices to be a bit higher than normal But the overall dinner experience was outstanding. Amazing food, great margaritas especially the watermelon one!

    We were looking for more than a taco truck dinner and this was our choice based on a TikTok review. It was loud and bustling like all of Broadway. The cheese crisp looked delicious on our neighbors table. We had queso which was velveeta in appearance and texture but flavored well. My husband had carne asada tacos. The meat was flavorful and tender.

    We have eaten here many times, it's really our favorite Mexican restaurant. Coming from California, it's got the most authentic ingredients with a Southern twist. The ingredients are fresh and the food is good. The margaritas are also very tasty, but a bit on the expensive side. It's a bit of a hang, being on Broadway but the service is excellent.

    Table was ready when we arrived. Love the upbeat vibe here, it’s always great. Our server was attentive. The food on the other hand was not. We ordered the Warm Queso and it came out but had to sit because we had no chips yet to eat it with. We had drinks, an Old Fashioned and a frozen Margarita which were both good. We ordered tacos, one order of BBQ Pork tacos and an order of Chicken Pastor tacos. The chicken tacos from the menu…chicken pastor…carmelized pineapple, salsa verde, green onions, jalapeño. The tacos I was served had dry, cold chicken chunks in them with what looked like a tablespoon of pico garnish sprinkled on the top. No carmelized pineapple, no salsa verde, no jalapeño that I could see or taste. I asked our waiter about it and he brought me a small metal cup with some pineapple but that didn’t help the taste at all. It was still very dry. It was as if the kitchen forgot how to put the taco together. If it had been made correctly it probably wouldn’t have been so dry and unappetizing. Needless to say, I didn’t eat much of it. I won’t ever order that again. While the drinks were good, we were hungry and came for the food. That said, we like this place and will probably give it one more chance.

    Our server was incredibly sarcastic and wonderful. I wish more servers showed personality and were not afraid to laugh with their tables. We will certainly return with more friends and family as they visit in hopes of having her serve us again. Outside of the service, the food was also fantastic. 10/10.

    Was a fun spot and great food. We took our 8 year old (7:45pm reservation) and even though the only child I saw, we were welcomed and we all enjoyed the dinner and the vibe. Margaritas were yum and the kids meal (even though not listed but just told by our friendly waitress), was a hit. I loved my grilled avocado tacos. We would go back!

    The host staff was definitely sub par. I had a reservation and after an extended wait, they tried to seat us at the bar. When I asked to be moved to a table, we had to wait another 10-12 minutes. Our server was pleasant, but slow to greet us and take our drink order. Overall, it was a average to less than average dining experience. Probably won’t be back.
