Blanco is more than your typical Mexican restaurant, it‘s an escape from the ordinary, a happy hour hang out, a place to sit back, recharge and party. It’s a vacation in your neighborhood that helps you relax with your favorite people. For food, margaritas, and good times, Blanco is the perfect place to find your bliss.

What could be better than street-style tacos, premium tequila, and a panoramic view of the Tucson valley? Blanco in Tucson features a modern take on classic Mexican fare, such as our award-winning Slow-Cooked BBQ Pork Tacos, as well as signature drinks made with seasonal fruits like our Pomegranate Grapefruit Margarita!

    It was pretty good. My margarita wasn’t the best. My hubs liked his drink. Food was decent. A little bland. Chips and salsa were awesome! Service was a bit slow but they were busy. I feel like it was talked up a bit. Setting was nice.

    We dine at Blanco every few weeks. A few weeks ago, our meals were overly salty so I commented on that in our review. The manager promptly contacted me to apologize and ask us to give then another chance to impress. We dined there again last night and it was great. We were quickly greeted and seated. Our server Hailey (sp?) provided attentive, friendly service. Among us, we ordered the shrimp tacos (love the slaw!), carne asada fajitas (yum), and mahi tacos (large chunks of moist grilled fish), along with a side of always-good guac. Clearly, whatever issue we encountered last time had been corrected--what a nice surprise. Atmosphere is lively but can still have a conversation. I noticed that the backbar workers and kitchen folks seemed to work as a lively, well-oiled machine. We will be back!

    Marginal food and service. This establishment is focused on the drink menu. I do not recommend this restuarant .
