    Host wasn’t the nicest when we sat down I was talking to my boyfriend and didn’t notice she was trying to hand me the menu and didn’t even say anything to me and then walked away. Had to ask multiple times for the heater to be turned on and then they said it was broken. Queso came out kind of cold and a piece of hair was in it. Overall service was kind of slow and our server switched halfway through? Which is fine but confusing if you don’t say I’ll be taking care of you now. Love all the other locations of blanco but this wasn’t the best experience.

    The food took a long time. When we got it, both dishes were cold and bland. Not a good meal.
