The food and service were good as I find consistent at all of the Blanco locations. As much as I appreciate the upgraded and upscale decor of this new location, the interior is too dark. I would definitely return, but it would be nice if the dining area was just a little bit brighter

Food was delicious, Lily, our server was super sweet and attentive. The noise level was lively but we could still converse without a problem. There is limited parking right around the restaurant but there is a free parking garage about 150 yards away or they have valet!

Delicious! The beef machaca in the chimichanga is sublime. We loved the chips, salsa and guacamole as starters. The Pushing Daisies margaritas were peachy and smoky perfection. The servers are polite and very attentive. We visited twice in one trip it was so good!

Our waiter took a long time to check on us. We had asked for a hotter salsa but when he finally came he had a bottle of Chula but he eventually brought the salsa. We had ordered a cheese crisp but it didn’t come until we complained when our food came without and then the manager came. For what we paid the service was terrible and we may never return
