Our waitress really struggled. We had 3 empty water cups for 40 minutes. It took two times to ask for more water for her to bring us more 5 minutes later. I ordered a margarita as soon as we sat down which wasn’t delivered for 35 minutes. We also waited 15 minutes to be sat down when I had reservations for a week. Very disappointed in the service. The food was great but regret going there. Clearly understaffed for a busy day.

We are disappointed to hear this was your experience with us, Blair. We understand how frustrating this must have been, especially since you made your reservation a week prior. We appreciate you taking the time to leave this review so we can figure out ways to improve. We would also like to discuss your visit further so we can make it up to you.

To start, a $15 margarita is crazy but we got one each and they were very underwhelming in taste and strength. Food flavor was exceptional but kinda small portions compered to price. Overall I’d eat there again but skip the drinks.

Great food. Service was superb. Samantha was our server for a party of 7 with 2 kids and handled it w/o a hitch. She did a great job.

Our waiter delivered our food to the table next to us. Then, realizing what he’d done, asked us to accept to food as they were busy. While apologetic, my husband And I saw the folks at the other table touch the food. We accepted the food as we were in a date with another couple. Not acceptable, even for a busy restaurant!

We eat at Blanco’s at least every other week. We always get the chicken tinga nachos, which are the best! There is never fake cheese and guacamole is so good. Even though the restaurant was slammed, the service was great today. We always make reservations through open door, so there is never a wait.

We are so pleased to hear you visit Blanco so often and have such great experiences here; this is what we strive for. We look forward to seeing you soon, Melissa. Blanco Management 520-232-1007

We visited Blanco on Christmas Eve. We had a reservation for 11. The table was ready when we got there and we were waited on immediately. My family tremendously enjoyed our evening. Blanco was already one of my favorite restaurants, but now it will be my go to for special large group celebrations!

Service at Blanco is predictably great. It was this time, too. We were on the patio and our server never "forgot" us!. Food was nice and came out hot.
