    The service was great. However, the food wasn’t as amazing as our visit to the phoenix location. The cheese crisp wasn’t even “crisp”. It was disappointingly soggy. We drove far to come dine here so we were bummed about the food quality.
    Blanco Cocina + Cantina – Fashion ValleyResponded on November 13, 2024
    Chandni, I'm very sorry to hear this! The best part about the cheese crisp lies in it name! We should always have the dish be crispy and amazing! We appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback with us and will address with the team. Thank you again!

    The food was fantastic. The service was super slow and our waitress wasn’t attentive. She spilled water on our table and didn’t have the decency to wipe the table dry.

    We decided to go here with some friends for the first time to try it out during Restaurant Week, and it exceeded our expectations! Everything from the accommodations we were given for seating (there was an infant in our party), the friendly server, to the huge servings of food was amazing. Definitely a better experience than at some other restaurants we've visited during Restaurant Week. Sometimes it feels like restaurants skimp on you if you order the special deal, but at Blanco it seemed no different than if we'd ordered off the regular menu. We were so pleasantly surprised, and will most likely return for another meal in the near future.
    Blanco Cocina + Cantina – Fashion ValleyResponded on October 4, 2024
    Thank you Marie! YES! We give you what's on our menu for RW and do not skimp! We love to hear that you had a great experience with us and hope that we can host you again soon!

    Fixed price menu was a very good value. The sweet potato enchiladas were delicious!

    Thank you Beth! We are devising a little something for this month in terms of offering another fixed menu following the success of restaurant week! Thank you again, and look forward to hosting you again soon!
