Gotta say I was mighty impressed here. Made my way to this place last night for din - was seated promptly and water appeared before I knew it. Our waiter was amazingly effusive and very good at upselling - though I didn't bite at the upsell, I did get a nice mango margarita, which really hit the spot! You can see a pic of it below. But this man was hungry, I ordered a combo plate. It had a beef taco, a tostada, and an enchilada. With just a little bit of rice thrown in for good measure. OK - now here's the thing. Was the food any good? Was the ambience of the restaurant adequate for the price point? Yes and yes! Gotta say I was impressed. And a special shout out to the waiter, who gladly took a picture of us while we were chowing down our meal! Needless to say the waiter made all the difference, frankly - the service was very impressive and the food was pretty darn good too. Oh, I forgot to mention the chips and salsa? Very garlic forward and a nice little spicy hit and was absolute perfection! The funny part of it is that this place was right across the field from where the Seattle Mariners do their spring training - I had brought my mom here, probably 25 years ago as she was a major Mariners fan and wanted to see this place. Of course the restaurant wasn't across the street back then! But what a cool location and what a nice restaurant. Definitely will return when I'm back in the Phoenix area! read more

Been to this place three or four times, last night ordered fajitas and when we got home there were zero tortillas. that was pretty lame. this place starts out with ok ingredients, they try too hard. the fajita steak last night was tough, and again zero tortillas. flavors ok, there are many many hundreds of better Mexican restaurants in Phoenix. and while I otherwise really like Fox Concepts restaurants, this one is a bit of a fail that I predict will not survive. read more

I would like to start by saying our waitress went above and beyond to correct the kitchens errors. When she sent the manager over to speak to me; that is when the issues began. Instead of just correcting my order he made me feel as if I was the issue. The manager gets a big fat ZERO for his attitude. Please pass this onto the owner of Glendale location. read more

Good Short Rib Enchiladas! We stopped in for Saturday lunch while waiting for an oil change to get completed, and were tread like royalty by the manager and staff. The restaurant was about half-full and bustling brightly indoors and on the deep shaded wrap-around patio. Our server, Branden, was one of the best servers we've ever had! Attentive and polite, even reading off the entire menu and describing highlights to hubs, who'd never been before. We were seated immediately at a booth table and brought complimentary chips and salsa. These are good fresh, thin chips and smoky mild-hot tasty salsa. Branden brought us a second round of chips and salsa as well. We ordered: - Coca-Cola fountain drink - Coke Zero fountain drink - SHORT RIB MACHACA ENCHILADAS 5/5 - Highly recommend - caramelized peppers & onions, yellow cheese, ancho chile sauce, cilantro. Served with sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, rice, & choice of beans. Classic enchilada sauce like how I remember, delicious tender shredded marinated short rib inside. - CARNE ASADA FAJITAS 4/5 (sweet soy salsa verde) served with blistered peppers, charred onions, jack cheese, guacamole, salsa fresca, sour cream, choice of beans & tortillas. Hubs said these were good. He did want rice with his meal so he ended up taking my rice which I didn't want. As you can see in the pics, the tortillas are scratch made in-house as well as the sauces and sides. Bar seating, booth and table, and patio seating available. Men's and women's restroom available for customers. read more

Excellent food and service! We went on a spring training game night, so parking was basically nonexistent, but we didn't mind parking at Target and walking over. We made a reservation on OpenTable and were seated right away, which was a great start. We ordered the margarita tree, and it was a solid deal for four full-size margaritas. Even though the area was busy, that's what made the atmosphere so fun, it felt lively and energetic. I especially loved the green space in the middle of the three restaurants. I also got the carne asada fajitas, and everything was absolutely delicious. The staff was super friendly and helpful throughout our visit. Such a great spot for a girls' dinner. I'll definitely be bringing my husband back because I know he'll love it too! read more

Today's visit was exceptional! If you come to this location, ask to sit in Foster's section, he was sharp and on top of everything! Nice, genuine personality and he already inquired about things before I even had to ask! His energy was helpful, joyful and kind! Not to mention he paid extra attention to making my 4 year old's visit special as well, asked her what her favorite color was, and made sure the straw on her drink matched! It's the little things that make a big difference sometimes. Thank you for the amazing experience today with our family. Fresh chips and salsa, amazing like usual. We tried the short rib Machaca fries, and omg those were unique and delish! We shared the combo fajitas so we could try a little of everything and the flan was uhhhhhhmazing! It comes with Vanilla Bean Whipped cream and the flan was so fresh. Overall, today was a wonderful experience. All the employees looked happy and smiling, and management was attentive! read more

We visited this Blanco location for the second time yesterday. Our visit was at the tail end of Arizona Restaurant Week, so they had a prix fixe menu offering with some of their staples and highlights. We took them up on the Restaurant Week offer and started our meal with the queso dip. The Restaurant Week menu included a drink for both of us. I had the seasonal sangria which was a blackberry and strawberry flavor. The queso came out super hot and was delicious. The chips it came with were hot, crispy, and delicious. For my meal, I had the chicken tinga burrito. It was a bit spicy, but really good. Par with the course, it came out hot and fresh as well. The Restaurant Week meal deal finished off with seasonal fruit empanadas. The current offering was a brown sugar pineapple empanada. They were delicious and the perfect capstone to our meal. I always enjoy our visits to Blanco and this meal was no exception! read more

If you're looking for great service and delicious food I recommend this place hands down. I love the atmosphere and the staff are always welcoming. All the servers we've had in every visit are informative, attentive, and friendly. I love that they always give food and drink recommendations which always turns out amazing after trying. You're always served with chips and salsa as soon as you're seated. My go to bowls are either the Short Rib Machaca or the Carne Asada Bowl. I have yet to try the Enchiladas but my sisters loved it when they tried it. The Grilled Mexican Street Corn is my favorite starter. I recommend ordering it! We also did try a couple drinks: Aloha Tea and the La Playa both refreshing drinks. I will definitely be back to try the other food and drink options in the menu. read more

Good food and great choices for lunch. Service was good (restaurant was not busy). Good place for our ladies' lunch group.

Restaurant Week Fall 2025! The service and food are top notch! Addictive Queso! My mouth is watering just thinking of it. We had frozen margaritas (strawberry and mango) that were delightful. Then, the chips and salsa were spot on. The queso...heavenly. The entrees were tasty (tacos and quesadillas). The flan was special and we will definitely be back! read more

Enjoyed this beautiful restaurant last night. The food was amazing!! I had a combination enchilada platter, and each enchilada was superb. We also did the queso fundido for an appetizer and WOW!

My husband and I arrived into town for the San Diego Padres Spring training games. The past two times, prior to the game, we have enjoyed the food and ambiance of Blanco. Starting off with the incredible guacamole with actual chunks of creamy avocado, from the sizzling and spectacular spicy tiger shrimp fajitas, to the smoky mouthwatering goodness of the chicken tinga and the short rib machaca enchiladas. The four of us all ordered the charro beans and loved them. The entire meal was so balanced with the heat and creamy. I must also rave about their selection of tequila. I enjoyed a very refreshing skinny margarita with some Grand Marnier (Got to love a Caddy)! Not too sweet, which made it easier to partake in a few! lol Most of all, the GM Jake offered stellar customer service, going above and beyond to make sure it was a wonderful experience. Other super friendly staff members were full of personality and professionalism because we were being a bit spicy when we came back the same night post game. We all were pleased with the service provided by Katie, Jose and Kiana (sp?). We were all so pleased to have a warm and inviting experience, thank you Blanco, for all the good stuff, and rising once again, above mediocrity. Heidi from San Diego. Cheers! read more

I will always be hesitant of multi-location, chain-style, big container type fooderies - its my nature to be cautious of such eat outs, they give me the feel of too large, can't be so good vibe. Blanco's Cantina + Cocina (at least this Peoria location) has put a damper on my previous negativity! Wow! It is no wonder that Sam Fox and his Fox Restaurant Concepts, the staff and kitchens are doing so well, and his review ratings are so extraordinary. We started off with my better half enjoying a moderately good Skinny Margarita while I indulged with a nice ice-cold Dos XX draught. Our appetizer was the most incredible, tasty, fresh and beautiful Spicy Mango Ceviche. Perfectly prepared fresh and tender shrimp, delicate avocado, some crispy cucumber, just the right amount of radish, and an exquisite rendition of pico de gallo - best I've had in a very, very long time (will they share the recipe with me?). My Wife thoroughly enjoyed her order of The Combo Platter of a large mouthwatering ground beef taco, a well-proportioned and flavorful cheese enchilada, and a tasty bean tostada (a crunchy and delicate tostada). Meanwhile, I went for The Tucson Chimichanga consisting of an extremely tender and perfectly seasoned short rib machaca with ample cheese, smooth and tasty guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo rolled up enchilada style along with rice and charro beans. I still can't say enough of their pico de gallo! Needless to say, we don't know how Mr. Fox and his outfit does it. With having multiple restos, in multiple states such as Culinary Dropout (a fave), Doughbird, Flower Child, and most recently Society Swan and the Global Ambassador! Needless to say, we've discovered a new eatery that will be on our top ten locals list - by pushing another of our faves into number 11! Kudos to the team! read more

We had a reservation and they were able to sit us down early. The service was very attentive and friendly. They even provided free chips and salsa. I got the mango stand and my friend got the Rosa Bonita which I did like a little more but both drinks were good! For food, I had ordered the carne asada burrito and it was a little soggy and way too mean black beans but I did finish jt because I was starving. The price was a little high for the burrito in my opinion. My friend said she liked her chicken enchiladas a lot tho! I would probably come back here for happy hour! Place was lively and pretty busy at 6:30pm on a Friday so def recommend some reservations. read more

Delicious! The margarita tree was so fun and well worth the price. Especially if you are splitting with a friend! I tried the Mezcalito and Dodge's Cadillac, which were both good, but the Cadillac was my personal favorite. For dinner, I decided on the Spicy Tiger Shrimp fajitas and they do not disappointment! The flavor was excellent and everything was cooked so perfectly. The service was also top tier and despite it being a baseball game night, it wasn't overly packed and was a very enjoyable environment. Definitely recommend for a tasty margarita and yummy food! read more

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. The patio is amazing and a great place for younger children. Everything we had was excellent. The guacamole had a very deep avocado taste and the chips were a bit thicker than typical with a strong corn flavor...this flavor was also present in the corn tortillas...which I recommend if you get tacos. The carne asada tacos were filled with chucks of steak cheese and guacamole...probably the best I've ever had. The rice and beans were fine as a side but next time I'll just get the tacos and not have any other items. Lastly they do a nice job with the margaritas and have a nice selection of mixed drinks. All in all, it makes for a nice evening out! read more

We dined in early 2026 at this new Sonoran-Fusion style modern cantina. We had an excellent server, Mia, who worked with us on all the menu items that interested us. My partner has developed sensitivities to tomato and spiciness, so Mia worked with us to have certain seasonings on the side. We started with a Shrimp Ceviche, non-alcoholic margarita and a Negra Modelo. She had a mixed plate of Shrimp Taco and Mahi Taco and I had the Chicken Tinga Enchilada plate. We enjoyed everything. Most of all, Mia told us to take our time and ask her any questions because "that's what I'm here for". A great way to start our meal! She made this a very enjoyable dining experience! read more

Such a fresh and vibrant take on Sonoran-style Mexican food with all the elevated vibes. I ordered the chicken tinga, and it was flavorful, well-portioned, and incredibly satisfying. The menu had a great mix, from green chile smash burgers to classic dishes. And I was pleasantly surprised to see a solid kids menu, making this a very family-friendly spot. The staff was attentive, kind, and made the whole experience feel welcoming. Everything tasted fresh and intentional, and it's the kind of place you'd want to bring both friends and family. read more

Blanco is located near the Peoria Cactus League field for the Mariners and Padres and is just a short walk. We've been here a few times and really, really like the atmosphere and food. Given the touristy nature of the area, prices aren't too bad either. Service is friendly and staffers seem to gauge where you're at and let the party roll along. On our most recent visit trip, Paul our server was top notch! Expect to pay $35 or so each depending upon how thirsty you are. LOL read more

This was a good spot for dinner although despite it having a name in Spanish is more American style tacos. Still good but don't let the name fool you. Has a trendy vibe and very aesthetic, dark, however so hard to see the menu at night. Lighting is quite dim. The service was good, had multiple servers come to our table to check in, had a good "all hands on deck" feel and they did ok with time delivery after having ordered drinks and appetizers. Took about 10 min for drinks and 15 for apps, we were in a large party - about 16 or so, and so it already could be delayed in lining all items up but felt longer than it should have. Appetizers were good, we had some salsa with chips - chips were fresh and hot and the salsa was very mild but had good flavor. Chimichangas were another one, the queso sauce on top is so good, and the beans were so so good, blended refried so they're extra creamy, which I loved. I ordered the vegan enchiladas because it has a ton of veggies and they were very very good: not your typical flavor or enchiladas but that's what I was going for. They have sweet potatoes in them so different but again, so good. Grabbed this by recommendation from server which I absolutely appreciated. For me, Blanco is one of the places you come when someone invites you but it's not where i personally go for Mexican cuisine. It's more of an upscale type of vibe, not the hole in the wall place that has you licking your fingers they were so good. It is good food, don't get me wrong, but it's a unique style of Mexican. I'd come again. The drinks are pretty good too, definitely also aesthetic and semi pricey, $15 for a cocktail. read more

We had the birria tacos they were very good, great flavor! Charro beans and rice were also very tasty! Customer service was also great!

Good portions. A bit on the pricey side for the area but the restaurant is newer and next to the Peoria Stadium. Good for pre or post game food and drinks but make a reservation unless you want to wait an hour or just drink in the beer garden out front. Drinks are good but really spicy, service is a little understaffed so don't expect people coming around for drink checks. We had one beverage we didn't like, one sip, we were charged anyway. Oh well. Tourist zone. read more
