    Outstanding and unique take on Mexican food. Innovative entrees, starters and desserts. Only negative is the high volume atmosphere of a small dining room. Not a place you would go for a quiet, romantic evening but great for high-energy confabs.

    My wife and I had dinner at Blanco before attending a Phoenix Suns game. The restaurant was very busy but all of the staff we encountered were friendly and accommodating. We were seated before our reservation time and our orders were taken and delivered promptly. Both of us had chicken burritos and they were delicious. This will be our new go-to spot for pre event dinners in downtown Phoenix.

    It had been a while since we had been to ALMA. The food is better than ever. Loved the chicken quesadillas. The cornbread is insanely delicious. Try the corn pudding for a real taste sensation. even the grilled salmon was a standout. Nice service. We will return soon.

    Food for five persons were very good with great services and hospitality.We ate our dinner at five pm and the outdoor dining area were pretty dark as there are no ceiling lights but do have small table LED light lamps and under bench lighting. Some of us had hard hard time reading the menus with low lights but was managed somehow. We will go there again with better daylights.
