    We did go on Cinco de Mayo, so should have expected it, but it was very loud in there even without the mariachi band playing, so it made it hard to have a conversation some times. However the food and drinks were very good! Was a solid after work stop.

    Got seated right away, which was nice. The décor inside is super cute and modern, but the tables are really close together. It definitely feels like they try to squeeze in as many people as possible. We started with the grilled Mexican street corn and honestly it was a 10/10. So good. We used the chips to scoop it up and the chips were also a 10/10--crispy and fresh. The salsa that came with them was solid, maybe an 8/10, with a little kick. For drinks, we ordered two agua frescas (strawberry and blackberry). The strawberry was pretty sour, so just a heads-up. Our server was really sweet and attentive whenever she had the chance. For entrées, we tried the green chile smash burger. It was about a 6/10 for me. Fries were okay, but the seasoning kind of overpowered the flavor. The burger had its moments--some bites were good, others were just salty or kind of plain. The pork chile verde bowl, though, was amazing. Easily a 10/10. Super fresh ingredients and the pork was cooked perfectly. Overall, I'd come back to try other things on the menu, but the prices are definitely on the higher side.

    Combo Fajitas
    Adri M.

    The food was good, I ordered the fajitas and so did my partner. However, the service could use more work. A table that got seated after us was being attended for a while before we were finally noticed. I also felt that our server kept disappearing for a long amount of time and other servers were picking up her duties. Overall, the meal was good but the service seems like it could use better communication. I'd try it again

    Baja Breakfast Burrito
    Shreena P.

    It was a lovely restaurant -we really enjoyed the ambiance, decor, and lighting. We were seated immediately, which was a great start. We ordered queso, a breakfast burrito with potatoes, and a salad --everything was delicious! The wait staff were friendly and attentive, and I especially loved that the queso was Tex-Mex style. The free chips were a nice bonus as well. Overall, a really enjoyable dining experience!

    Grilled Mahi*
    Crystal Z.

    Ambiance - casual, tall ceilings, open kitchen, great for small and large groups Service - great, our server checked on us often Food - drinks were abs amazing, queso fundido was more on the runnier side than I expected, grilled mahi tacos (mahi was lacking in flavor), corn on the side was excellent

    Jalapeño & Pineapple margarita
    Erica Z.

    Food and service remain constant - no complaints. Staff is friendly, resturant is clean, food is served hot.

    Carne Asada Burrito w/ fries
    Sandeep C.

    When a mall-adjacent spot surprises with standout service, airy vibes, and craveable Mexican staples! Blanco Cocina + Cantina at Oakbrook Center (Oak Brook) feels open, bright, and modern--Latin-inspired. It's a large, airy space on the outer edge of the mall, easy for a relaxed sit-down before or after shopping. Service * Exceptionally friendly from host to server to runner--above-and-beyond hospitality * Proactive touches (they even brought a kid-size rice & beans plate for our one-year-old) * Attentive, upbeat, and consistent throughout Food * Chips & Salsa - fresh and snappy welcome * Papi's Piña Colada - spot-on tropical classic that sets the vacation mood * Sauvignon Blanc - clean, easy pairing for a lighter lunch * Chicken Cheese Crisp - pizza-like tortilla + melty cheese + toppings; if you love quesadillas, this hits the spot * Carne Asada Burrito (enchilada-style) - cheesy, saucy, knife-and-fork goodness; I swapped in fries and added beans on the side Verdict Don't let the 3.8 fool you--our mid-Friday visit was a win across the board. Friendly, polished service; approachable, tasty plates; and breezy vibes make Blanco an easy recommend when you want a straightforward, sit-down Mexican meal at the mall. I'd rate it higher than its current average--glad we tried it, and we'd happily return.

    Came here with the family for a quick lunch. It was pretty busy being that it's not many choices of restaurants in that area. The spot was fine! Not a place I'd have to return to but wouldn't complain if I did. The food was good but I wish the rice wasn't white. I will say it's VERY pricey. Their sangria was pretty tasty as well. I loved the outdoor decor!

    Carne asada bowl
    Linda C.

    Came here for a girls dinner on a Wednesday night and it wasn't packed. We made reservation in case but you don't need to. They gave out complementary chips and salsa. The interior design is beautiful and modern, the vibe is chill and the food was pretty good. We ordered the carne asada bowl, braised ribs bowl, and 2 tacos. Everything came out quickly which was great. The bowl is basically like a chipotle bowl but less food. Worth checking this spot out.

    Tacos and rice wonderful
    Kim H.

    Fantastic food! Service was wonderful- had the Mahi tacos - oh Wow homemade taco shells. Rightly priced...

    Chicken pastor tacos, grilled street corn, and rice

    Came back again!! The food was as amazing as last time. Our waiter was welcoming and gracious. Despite it being busy, I did not feel rushed to eat and enjoyed my meal. Highly recommend this place!!!

    Warm Queso. Another level of salsa (perhaps habanero) to jazz up the heat would've been welcome.
    Erik F.

    Blanco is solid for being a chain. Decent fare and consistent service are hallmarks of the former Fox Concept Restaurant (now a Cheesecake Brand). I had to put something green in my body for a change, so a Caesar salad it was! The salad was a simple Caesar w avo, and I added the grilled chicken. A small ding for the grilled chicken cubes that one would pre-prep or buy in a food service bag. It was a good Caesar that could have been elevated to "great" w a freshly grilled, sliced breast. Heck, even my fav dive bars do a fresh grilled breast. I expect more from Blanco. The Warm Queso was worthy, although a habanero salsa would be a welcome option (upon request). A deduct for a visually bubbly beer glass (dish machine not fully rinsing perhaps?). I pray that the bubbles adhering to the glass, don't cause bubbles in my gut. Service most always shines five-stars at this chain. Maria was super attentive, friendly and professional. I appreciated the bar team quickly wiping down the bar top upon seat turnover. The floor could've used a sweep of chip fragments under the stools.

    Came for lunch with the kids before going to mini golf.i got the tacos and my husbands had some tacos and salad. Cute place inside and service was super friendly especially to the kids. It was the weekend but not busy at all. Overall food was good and came out fairly quick.

    This is the lounge/restaurant at The Lodge, the Hyatt hotel set in a nice rustic area of Oak Brook…read more I stayed at The Lodge last night and was happy to find a solid, healthy delicious dinner at a very reasonable price. This space had a sports bar feel, with 4-5 huge TVs playing sports- mostly women's soccer and the All-Star baseball game. Plus overhead music. So it's a bit loud, but to be expected. Outdoor seating is a nice option, although it was 90 degrees last night so I stayed inside. Service was exceptional, my favorite part of the night. I was seated immediately and folks came by with menu, utensils, water refills, condiments, and several people just checking to make sure I was having a good time and had everything I needed. Really liked the vibe. People were chatting, happy, all very light and welcoming. I travel a ton for work and this hotel restaurant stands out in terms of service, quality of food, and atmosphere. It's not like a place to go on a date, but for a hotel restaurant/lounge this one scores.

We arrived on a Friday night just before 9:00 PM and had no trouble finding street parking--always a win. We were greeted by our waitress, Jennifer, who was absolutely amazing. She let us know about their late-night perk: half-price small plates and select drinks on Fridays and Saturdays from 9 PM until close, which is such a great incentive for heading out later in the evening. Jennifer was attentive without being intrusive--our water glasses were always full, she checked in after every course, and her recommendations for both food and drinks were spot-on. We started with a Mad Rose for V and a Chameleon for me. Both cocktails were delicious, and after finishing his Mad Rose, V definitely felt the celebratory spirit kicking in. For appetizers, we shared the Vietnamese Summer Rolls and Sweet Chili Calamari. The summer rolls were light, fresh, and nicely accented with mint. The calamari was sweet with a surprisingly spicy finish--delicious, though the heat was just a bit much for V. I'd happily order both again. For my main course, I had the Wagyu Beef Stroganoff, and wow--hands down the best stroganoff I've ever had. The beef was incredibly tender, and the sauce was perfectly balanced with the noodles. It even paired beautifully with my Chameleon, with subtle lemon notes that complemented each other surprisingly well. V ordered the Tomahawk Pork Chop, cooked medium well and absolutely perfect. He loved every bite. It came with a risotto that he enjoyed, even if it wasn't the standout of the dish. Dessert sealed the deal. We finished with Sandy's White Wine Cake--which reminded me of a carrot cake in the best way--and the Banana Cream Pie, which was easily the best banana cream pie I've ever had. Truly a WOW moment. Between the excellent food, thoughtful service, and great late-night specials, Entourage made V's birthday celebration one to remember. We'll definitely be back. Sorry, I wish I had pics but I left my phone behind today.

I ordered from Entourage Downers Grove and was honestly impressed with how well everything held up for delivery. The standout for me was the lobster bisque. It arrived at the perfect temperature, which is pretty impressive for delivery. The bisque was rich and luscious without feeling overly heavy, and the basil oil added a nice brightness that balanced the creaminess beautifully. It also had a generous amount of lobster, including several large chunks, and was a very solid portion overall. The filet mignon sliders were another highlight. Each slider had a substantial piece of filet mignon topped with pickled onions, microgreens, and horseradish cream on brioche buns. The onions and horseradish added enough acidity and bite to balance the richness of the beef without overpowering it. I also tried the Vietnamese summer rolls, filled with roasted shiitake mushrooms, fresh vegetables, and rice noodles, served with both peanut sauce and sweet chili sauce. Everything tasted very fresh, and the sauces complemented the generously stuffed rolls nicely. My only small critique is that cutting them in half made for a prettier presentation, but made them a little awkward to dip and eat. Overall, this was a surprisingly strong delivery experience, and I would absolutely order from them again, or better yet, make it over to the restaurant itself next time I'm in the area.

He also ordered the Jamaica (hibiscus drink) and loved it so much he had two. The restaurant was very busy, but the service never skipped a beat. Our server and another waitress working the dining room both kept checking in on us and made sure we were taken care of.
