We came here before our flight to Miami. The line to eat was at least 20 minutes just to get a seat. If you are in a rush do not pick this restaurant. When we finally got a seat at the bar you self order through the app no human contact only to bring out what you ordered on the phone. Hubby loved the place but a lot of his happiness was that he was going home. Also he liked that he got a larger than normal piece of lime as normally it would be a sliver. It was explained to him that is because they are so close to Mexico and that is where the limes are from. We ordered nachos first nothing to write home about as they say. For a place so close to Mexico it misses the mark. The dish didn't even have enough stuff ie cheese, guacamole and sour cream to cover all the chips so many went without. It can be done just not at this restaurant. We also had chicken quesadillas as well. Note both dishes had chicken in the description but they lacked it in both. The quesadilla I make better at home. This was a poor attempt of a tortilla that was slightly melted perhaps they used an iron. The staff hear were nice enough and the place is clean. Hopefully we don't need to fly to Phoenix again so we don't need to return here. No other food choices open so they have a captive audience for sit down meals. We tried another terminal but everything was closed. read more

food is okay but the bathrooms are dirty i do not eat when a place is dirty especally for the price

Disorganized, slow, and sub par food. 35 mins to get a burrito bowl. In an airport, restaurant speed is everything.

Prompt service, and tasty food! We ordered carne asada nachos, quesadilla, chips, guacamole and a martini and two skinny margaritas. It didn't feel and taste like food from an airport. We did not wait long for a table. The carne asada was flavorful and not dried out. Refills on chips and salsa. What more could a person ask for? read more

1.) You are forced to order with a QR code. Waiters and waitresses are only allowed to bring your beverages and silverware. 2.) Ordered Chicken nachos. the nachos were stale, avocados were brown, the chicken was cold, and the cheese was the same nacho cheese sauce that the movie theater puts on movie nachos. This is the worst corporate garbage restaurant I have ever been to in my life, and I will never return. The servers were excellent in spite of it all. read more

We Had such a great meal!! Never been to downtown Phenoix and we were so pleased we found Blanco Tacos! They made our hellish ordeal at the rental car place melt away with they're yummy margaritas and nachos! We didn't stop there we each got different tacos and split them they were amazing as well! Loved the environment, they had a fun bar and were close to the ball park. Very friendly staff and the place was very clean! read more

It was a decent chicken quesadilla can't say much about it since I was in the airport so it was a little high price I paid more for it than what I normally would've paid I probably would've been better off just going to a less expensive place& getting a chicken quesadilla I also ordered a sangria which I definitely paid way too much for because it was not worth the amount of money that I paid for it I guess when you're traveling you do expect to pay more in the airport so I'm not gonna complain too much but for a sit down restaurant you do expect a little bit better service because I was sitting for a while before anyone did come to serve me. Thank goodness the guacamole was good because they didn't give much salsa and the chicken was a little bland so the guacamole did help in adding flavor. read more

My expectations were not high as my last airport food Mexican stop was terrible. This place had reviews so we figured we would give it a try. The food is pretty expensive for what you get and nothing to write home about. Average quality. The nachos were the best bargain for your money and probably the best tasting too but how hard is it to smother chips in cheese, beans, chicken etc and it be good? The mahi mahi tacos came out smelling very fishy but I was excited for them. I could barely finish one it was so bad. I've never understood when people say the fish is too fishy but something was off about the mahi mahi. I was just hoping I didn't get sick later. Lastly although the food came out very quick, the servers were snippy, passive aggressive and tried to rush us out even though there were 10+ open tables and we hadn't finished our drinks. We had to tell them multiple times to not take our margaritas away. A strange experience. For the service alone, I would not return or recommend this to anyone. I haven't had that poor of service in quite a while. It made our whole party very uncomfortable. This was highly annoying as the food and drinks were already overpriced, and we were probably there around an hour or less. Pretty reasonable for a sit down restaurant you'd think. Apparently not. read more

The food is always delicious, the service is good, the atmosphere is great!! We enjoy eating here whenever we're visiting the area!!!

Service was good. Food left a lot to be fired. I specially their supposed world famous guacamole. Chipotle Guacamole is 1000% better! If you're stuck at the airport and there aren't any other options, order a drink. read more

Barely anything substantial in the braised chicken bowl. While the atmosphere is nice with a sit down area, I ordered the braised chicken bowl. It was pretty disappointing. More salad than anything, a bare topping of beans and chicken. read more

This looks to be the only full service restaurant but looks are deceiving. After waiting 10 minutes for a table, we received a seat and were told to use the QR code to order. Absolutely no descriptions or what is included in the meal or pictures. Also, chips and salsa are considered an app. The margaritas are about the worst I have had- like some pre-made syrup. Pretty bad. Had the tacos - beef and chicken. The beef was pretty plain- no sauces. The chicken was a bit better and the beans were pretty good. read more

Starting with the menu, it was very difficult to decipher! I ordered a cocktail and was told there are no straws! The food was fair. Would not recommend read more

Ate at the location in the airport. Service was exceptional, they were incredibly attentive. The food was... probably a 3.5 out of 5 for me. I got a breakfast burrito- so that actually says quite a bit, as I am a Texan. The beer selection is good and I could drink their queso. If you want good quality for the airport value, come here! read more

Once we ordered our food was delivered quickly but it was cold. No one ever came back to check on us or to see how things were. We finally had to flag down the waitress to get our check. She still never asked how it was. read more

Didn't get to eat here, we did have a larger group so we definitely would've understood if they had told us there was no way they were going to seat us.. instead the older male told us .. just one second I'll get a table for you.. 5 minutes later he says yup one second.. and then proceeded to hide in the back of the restaurant and avoid eye contact for the next 20 minutes I could have easily given a lower review but I just want them to know honesty is the best policy just tell people it's going to take a while and just let people know especially when you're at an airport and there are flight times involved needless to say we moved on and we were fed somewhere else read more

Went to Blanco Tacos in terminal 4 of Phoenix Sky Harbor airport. There were a lot of empty tables at 10 pm at night. However they made me sit in a crowded area next to an elderly gentleman who was constantly coughing. The elderly gentleman threw up on the table. He had paid by then - so he left. I tried to move as far away as possible but the seating was very close by and the place was constricted. Can you imagine that half the restaurant was empty! To make matters worse, once the servers realized what happened, they called the manager who offered me a $1 discount on my bill for suffering through this bad experience. What an insult! The waiter was super nice and I did tip him in spite of the manager's insult. Try to avoid this place in terminal 4 near the A gates. read more

I stopped him for dinner this evening at 5:15 and I felt the hostesses at the time were inconsiderate and rude. I felt like I was bothering them. They need a gentle reminder that they're for the guests and we basically pay their salaries. Acknowledgment and a friendly smile goes a long way. read more

So so bad. It's not short staffed. It's just bad. Tacos just thrown down on a plate. Plate dumped in front of you. Had to beg for salsa and hot sauce three times. Drinks watered down. Denied water too. The food though is actually good for an airport. My shrimp tacos were tasty and the black beans excellent. read more

$50 for a burrito and margarita. Tortilla was dusty. Burrito did not come w sides which is wild for the price. Margarita was fine but not amazing. Mostly put off by the price for what you get. read more

I stopped in here during a layover in Phoenix and was grateful to find a place where I could sit down, order a margarita, and ask someone about gluten free selections. They have both a dining room as well as a quick order counter which is great to have options when you have flights to catch. The dining room has a lot of seating with individual tables and chairs, bar seating, and even long group tables with charging ports. Perfect spot to grab a drink and charge up your electronics before the flight. They don't have gf designations on their menu which would be really nice to help relieve some of the questions posed to the already busy servers. My server was not super familiar with gf unfortunately and since I had a short layover without time to fuss, I went with a salad that seemed safe. The grilled shrimp salad was quite tasty and satisfying with avocado, jicama, and a cilantro vinaigrette. It filled me up and I was able to pay my tab quickly and head to my gate. Seems like it has a nice menu with lots of options, though it would be great if they could update their menu to reflect common allergens and vegetarian/vegan selections as many restaurants are doing these days. read more

Drinks are good. Service spot on. Smallest portion of rice and beans ever. Shame. Picture was worth $9. Robbery. Did not order other options so cannot comment on that. Go for the bar... read more

Not a great experience. We had lunch here before a flight and the service was terrible. Waitress was rude and inattentive. Every time a guest would ask for something, she would get sassy and roll her eyes. It made lunch very uncomfortable. Food wasn't bad but it was soured by the gross feeling with got from her nasty attitude. read more

Shared a decent sized decent tasting breakfast burrito. Fair sized and came with home fries. Online order and pay at table. Two mimosas. Airport pricing led to a $50 bill. Entire staff was upbeat and friendly. read more

We had a long layover at Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix. After a quick tour of the terminal, we decided to eat at Blanco Tacos. That was a great decision. Their Chicken Tortilla Soup is so AWESOME we were dipping our Cheese Quesadillas in it. Besides the soup and quesadillas we enjoyed a very fresh and delicious Caesar salad and several glasses of Banshee Chardonnay. The food and service was GREAT!!! read more

Food was great, however our server at the bar was very rude. I asked her for her name and she refused to give it. I looked at my tab and it said server: West. Very unpleasant towards us and anytime we asked for napkins or another drink she rolled her eyes and sighed but was friendly with other guests sitting at the bar. read more

The host staff was friendly and attentive right from the start. Margaritas were great and we ordered the elote for our appetizer. Loved the flavor of that along with the chips and salsa. I ordered the green Chile pork and it was delicious! My husband enjoyed his fajitas as well. Our server was so friendly and attentive for all requests. We will definitely be back! read more

Had to kill about 4 hours while I waited for my flight and I wanted to sit down and eat relaxed. After searching through different gates of the airport I found this place that felt best. I was able to watch the NBA finals while eating chicken quesadillas for $12.50 and chips & salsa for $2.50. The service was good except for one thing. I asked for a slice of lemon or lime for my water and they told me they didn't have but all the drinks kept passing by with a piece of lime or lemon on top. Other then that the place is a great option to wait for your flight comfortably without spending much for your food. read more

During my layover in Phoenix I decided to get a to go burrito. I ordered green Chile pork. There was 0 green Chile in the burrito. Burrito also took a good 15 minutes while several patrons ordered after me and had there meal within 5 minutes. Definitely some management issues here. The cashier was very friendly but it seemed like she was just thrown on the station without any training. The low rating is mainly for the food. The meat was tender, but like I mentioned before, no green Chile and overall not much seasoning or flavor going on. For 17$ I would expect at least some salt and pepper in it. I definitely wouldn't recommend unless maybe you want to have a few drinks and then eat the food, which might be the best way to partake at this establishment. read more

Ich liebe das Essen bei Blanco! Ihr Queso ist mein Favorit in Tucson! Die Torillia-Chips sind immer frisch. Das Personal ist freundlich und man muss selten lange auf sein Essen warten. Es ist weit von meinem Wohnort entfernt, aber ich gehe trotzdem regelmäßig dorthin. Ich liebe ihre Faitas. Besonders die Garnelen. Die Teller sind groß und sättigend. Wenn meine Mutter zu Besuch kommt, gehen wir immer zum Blanco zum Essen. Sie haben auch eine tolle Bar. Ihre Margaritas sind unglaublich! Wenn Sie in Tucson sind und mexikanisches Essen möchten, ist Blanco ein fantastisch Ort zum Abendessen! 10/10! read more

Surprisingly good food and service for an airport restaurant. Despite a full house and a line, there were plenty of employees and they were working hard to clear places and turn tables so the wait for a party of 4 was minimal. One orders via QR code on the table and then a server brings things to your table. Service was quick and attentive. The food was really tasty. I had chile verde tacos with back beans and rice. A lime or two would have been good. Would have been a plus to have hot sauce other than Tabasco. One person in my party didn't get the side of pico and guac that they should have but didn't notice it until halfway through their meal so we didn't ask for it, either. read more

Watched the manager and a line cook eat food in the prep area. The manager scarfed down a massive burrito for about 15 minutes while all of the bar guests watched on. Then, as an encore, the line cook decided to enjoy some of his own creations while we all looked on. Absolutely disgusting and unprofessional. Another front of house member sneezing and snoting into a napkin and never washed his hands before going back to work. Several staff on their phones behind the cooking line. Just all around unsanitary and nauseating. read more

If you're used to typical airport food this place will happily surprise you. We got the chicken and fish tacos plus the appetizer guacamole. Yum! Their ice tea is unsweet with a hint of peach - really good. Fantastic and quick service. read more

It's rare that I have time at Sky Harbor to sit down for a meal, so this was a treat. Keeping in mind that this is an airport restaurant, it's a given that we are packed in tight, and food is a little overpriced. I ordered the small guacamole appetizer and a cheese crisp. And a Bloody Mary. All good. They really did an excellent job on the cheese crisp - the tortilla was perfectly crispy! The chips for the guacamole were plentiful and also crispy. I would have liked a bit more zip to the guacamole, and they did provide salsa to add. Service was efficient. Not a bad stop. read more

Asked the waitress if I can sit at a bigger table. She said not because it was only for four people. 10 minutes later she sits a single customer there. Nice! The food, just okay. The potatoes were room temperature and the meal was served on a smaller size plastic dinner plate. This might be a good place for drinks but I'd pass on the breakfast. read more

I have found yet another rock solid dining option in an airport! I came across this location during a 2 hour layover and was glad that I did. I walked up to the hostess stand and was quickly given a seat at one of the tall tables in the back. One thing I enjoyed was the euro style seating! I really don't mind being placed at at able with other customers who I don't know. IT can certainly make for interesting conversation! I was also very pleased with the service we all ahd at our table. There was one server to who took care of all of us and she did a fantastic job! The food was also pretty amazing. My burritos was quite hefty and delicious! I did not expect to see this level of fare until I got it. Overall a great experience and one I would enmoy again if laid oer in Pheonix! read more

Great location in the center of downtown and close to lots of venues. We came here for dinner prior to a concert at Arizona Federal Theatre. They have a large bar area. The service was good and the food was excellent. The highlight for me was the Mexican chocolate tiramisu. It comes in a mug and it's covered with candied walnuts.....so good! read more

This could be the worst Mexican food I've ever had. And when I asked for hot sauce they gave me McIlhenny's Tabasco.

So lets start off by you do have to wait to be seated by the hostess who was super friendly. Then you have to scan the QR code which has your table number. Not only do you use this to view menu you also have to order and pay for your meal here as well. Which is good if you are in a hurry and do not have a huge layover. However they have several waitresses but not will take your order if the app is having issues. Which it was for me. Once I got the app to accept my order. My food was out like 2 minutes later. I ordered the Chicken bowl with glass if water and Red wine. I was almost finished eating by the time she came back with my wine. $26 food was great wine is good water tastes better out of my water hose back home . Overall it was decent but I will not be back here on my trip back home. read more

What started out as a solid 4 stars steadily dipped to a solid 2, and the 2 only because my shrimp salad was wonderful. The hostess was a sweetheart, the food was good and the place was clean with great rock tunes playing. My server was awful, he literally took my order and brought me a water. Someone else brought my food ... he never once came back and I only got one glass of water. Despite sitting next to the server station... nobody cleared my plates, offered to bring me more water, nada. They obviously don't help each other out. I waited a full 30 minutes post finishing salad and water... oh and writing this review before someone actually noticed I was finished and it was a manager. Won't be back... walk on by and go to Wildflower or Modern Burger. read more
