    My wife and I went to Blanco for a date night and we were greeted with a friendly welcome and served fairly quickly with the nicest server ever. Wish we got her name for an epic name drop lol Will eat there again

    Went on a Saturday afternoon and there was only two tables taken when we got there. Ordered right away but took a long time for the food to come as the place filled up One waitress it seemed and she was bartender as well. Drinks and food were great but we had to go ask for bill and take out containers as we had about to attend and as going to be late Great food but need more staff

    Food was pretty good, our server was quite slow. We moved to the bar afterwards and had a great time. Good happy hour prices.

    Food took forever. Tacos were cold by the time we got them. Staff was very sparse. I made a reservation asking for a quiet corner and the server tried sitting us in the very middle…

    I didn’t catch our servers name, but he was amazing. Very personable, funny, and made great recommendations! 15/10 would go back there and hope he is our server again
