   Did not have the best experience. We had a reservation and still had to wait 20 minutes to be seated. The table was sticky, obiviously not cleaned. We went there for their Cinco De Mayo specials and the waitress didn't even mention them to us nor did she bring us the menu until we requested it. Their special for the margarita tree was $60-70 and only came with 4 margaritas which is hilarious since their normal margarita is $15 so you get no savings from ordering the tree. The waitress forgot to take our entree order until we had to remind her that she never took it. When we finally got our food the waitress came back and started clearing off our barely eaten plates. I had to grab the plate back from her. She then came back with our check, didnt once ask if we wanted a refill on drinks or to look at a dessert menu. Basically just pushed us out of our table with our barely eaten food. Didn't offer to get us to-go boxes until we had to request them. We probably waited longer to be seated then to actually be seated at our table. I would have preferred going to chipolte over this place.

   Hi Alisa, I'm so sorry for this experience. We clearly missed the mark all the way around. I do want to say thank you for your feedback as it helps us grow and learn. I would hate for this to be your last visit with us. I would love to make it up to you by sending you an e-gift card for your next visit. Please let me know a good email to send one over. Thank you again. Have a great day!

   Waited 20 to be seated for our reservation while a number of tables were empty. When I inquired about the wait and tables open, person who seated us replied, they were giving servers a break between tables?????? WTF

   Hi Albert, I'm so sorry to hear about that. There is a method to the madness on busy days but you're not here to learn about that, you were here to enjoy yourself!! I was able to speak to the host who you spoke with. Your review has allowed me the opportunity to do so. For that I am very thankful. It looks like you were disappointed in the food an ambiance too. Is there more you can share with me about that? Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

   In the attempt to add contemporary flavors and preparation ideas to Mexican food, the dishes we ordered were not as tasty as we expected. We would have expected more classical flavors. Who puts Ranch Dressing in a taco salad?
   

   Blanco Cocina + Cantina - Oak BrookResponded 1 day ago

   Hi Henri! Thanks for taking the time to leave us your thoughts! You're very right in that we aren't your traditional kind of Mexican restaurant. Our style is more of an Arizona style Tex-Mex. That can be a little shocking if that's not what you're expecting. I'd love to show you what we do! Please let me know a good email address to send over an e-gift card just in case you're feeling like something a little out of the ordinary. Have a great day!

   The best part of our brunch was the margaritas. The mango jalapeño margaritas was perfect in flavor. The cups are overly salted which was not enjoyable. I asked for corn tortillas for my egg and chorizo tacos but was presented with flour. So I ate my meal not as a taco. The guacamole isn't bad but you can tell it's not freshly made. Almost tastes like what you'd buy at the grocery store. I'd go here for drinks but food is questionable.

   Hi Neena, Thank you for taking the time to leave us your thoughts. I'm so sorry we missed the mark here. We are always more than happy to make you new food. Our guac is made fresh at least every 2 hours. Its not your traditional guac which can be surprising sometimes. I would hate for this to be your last visit with us. I would love to send you a e-gift card to make up for the experience. Please let me know a good email to send one over to. Have a great day and thank you again.
