About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
Blanco Reserva celebrates the timeless warmth and gracious hospitality of Spanish ranchos, where life revolved around gatherings that brought friends and neighbors together under open skies and glowing lanterns.

    We had a reservation for 4 people on a Friday evening at 5pm. Realized Happy Hour was over at 5, so we showed up 4:45. There were two hostesses who were less than thrilled that we were there early. We were told that we’d be seated closer to our reservation time - even though there was plenty of room. When the hostess finally agreed to seat us, our server was there right away to take our order. She was friendly and polite, although a bit rushed. Understandable, as the restaurant was starting to get busy. Our drinks and food arrived quickly - but neither was anything special. The mango margarita was so sweet it was barely drinkable. We all got tacos which came with rice and beans - meh. I got grilled mahi, which was bland. The rice and beans were also rather flavorless. Disappointed. This is a cool looking place with a great vibe, but overall it did not meet my expectations. I wouldn’t mind paying these prices is the food and drinks were worth it - but they just didn’t live up to the hype.

    We had to wait 20 minutes for our table to be ready. Our server was outstanding. Food selections were quite ‘Bouzy’ and we weren’t expecting. Drinks were excellent. Food was good. Valet tip: Had to wait 15 minutes for our car because the valet service attends to three separate establishments. Unacceptable!

    We tried couple of items we hadn't had there before. Friend liked her mahi tacos, although portion size was small. I had the papas dulce bowl, and really did like it; although I did not taste any of the mole sauce it stated was in it. Your salsa is excellent.

    Great spot for happy hour & gathering with friends. Drinks and food are solid but a bit pricier than they should be. Our server was terrific.

    We waited at table for 20 minutes before anyone came over to take drink order, bring water or chips. All of the tables around us were dirty. Restaurant looked short staffed. Restaurant week menu was good, but service was disappointing.

    Service has continued to decline every visit. Took over 20 minutes for drinks to arrive and over an hour for our entrees. At the price point for the food this is not acceptable.

    We went for restaurant week 3 course meal and they ran out of dessert. Our meals cane out very slowly and not at the same time. Server was lovely and clearly embarrassed by these things that were out of her control. Offered us extra cocktails after our meal to make up for the lack of the third course we were paying fur but not getting. Manager never came over.

    It was during Restaurant week and the restaurant did not have sufficient staff or provisions. They offered three desserts on the restaurant week menu but two were not available better planning by management for both staffing and food. Our server was delightful.
