Stopped during a layover. Quickly seated. Scan barcode and order at table. Server efficient and attentive. Ordered green chili pork tacos that comes with rice and beans with extra side of sour cream and guacamole. Appetizer chips and salsa. Generous portions. Prices competitive. Flavors are delicious. The dining room and bar areas have half booths and standard table and chairs. TVs with sports playing throughout. Would stop again. read more

The ambiance is casual. It was not as busy as I thought it would be which should have been a clue to the very slow service I would experience. The nachos were very tasty. However, my food came out before I even got my water and soda. The waiter was very displeased when I asked him for some napkins since no silverware was provided. It was an okay experience and I would probably come back for the nachos if I had a long layover but it's definitely not qui read more

Stopped in here recently on a layover at PHX. Though pricey, I couldn't have asked for a better airport restaurant! I was lucky to find a spot at the bar that I felt comfortable sitting at to read. The bartender (didn't catch her name, but she had great dreads) was excellent and very attentive, even changing the TV channel so I could watch the hockey game. I enjoyed a couple glasses of wine and ordered a salad. I don't remember the name of the salad, but it was like a taco salad, and was surprisingly large for an airport salad. It was fantastic. With chicken, I think it ended up being about $20, but I was satisfied. My total bill, with both glasses of wine and the salad was about $50, which is definitely more than I had planned on spending, but it was so good, I didn't mind! I take a star off for one reason, only - when I first came in, I asked for a table for 1 as I was alone. The hostess tried to sit me at a table right next to a family, without even a seat separating me from a child. Luckily, I was able to find a spot at the bar, but it seemed incredibly rude to both me and the family to try and have a stranger sit there. Easy fix, but I would have left if that was the only seat offered to me. read more

My colleague and I checked out the location as we were flying through Skyharbor. We were seated quickly and told that the menu was found on the QR Code. We checked out the menu and found a couple items to order. The chips and salsa were 2.5 dollars. The food came quickly. Staff were attentive, but were also busy and moving through the space quickly. The quesadilla was flavorful and well sized. The tacos were tasty, although the rice and beans were not packing a large amount of flavor. We enjoyed watching the people move throughout the airport. read more

Food mediocre. Drinks OK. Service below par. I had to ask 3 times for water and ordered it no less than 3 times online before I got it. I had To walk up to the bar and ask for waters just so I can eat my food..... Tables seated after us got waters. How do they expect you to eat a meal without water or drink? This is 830am on a Thursday so I'd recommend somewhere else to eat / drink read more

We were not impressed by the food and service was also extremely slow. It wasn't even that busy. I barely finished my Mahi taco because it wasn't that appetizing and tasted bland. We probably waited for 30 minutes before being able to order. There was no wow factor at all for me. Also, I noticed the glass of water had lipstick marks on it and the other glasses didn't look clean either. Ugh. Disappointing all around. read more

We came at a busier time, order huevos rancheros and tried to get a quesadilla with eggs inside. Had to order them on the side. It is mobile ordering so we had to flag down a waitress for this. Food was still good but not what I would describe as huevos rancheros, more like chilaquiles. Ordered soda, was not very good. Like carbonated water. Table and dishwater was clean. read more

This is a fine place for airport dining. We had a short layover and needed something realtively quick. We were seated right away and scanned the QR code at the table. We were able to order everything through the online ordering system. Staff was walking around delivering food and helping people with the online system. The food came out pretty quick. We ordered the queso, chips & salsa, tacos, and a bowl. The food was decent and pretty salty. I would definitely get the chips & queso again, but would probably try some different appetizers. read more

Great chips and guacamole! Also have been here in the past. Their salsa is also good but maybe has more of that smoky quality to it. They also have excellent iced tea and service was excellent in that they readily made me an Arnold Palmer (iced tea and lemonade). Nice stop to eat at if you are waiting for your flight to board at the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. Also great setting to just sit down in and charge your phone. Recommended! read more

The gluten free tortilla was top notch! The egg and bacon no cheese burrito pretty tasty for airport food. Very busy but nice wait staff. read more

Waiter is outstanding! Handles the crowd and the crowded area like a real pro. The cons; Food is lukewarm not warm to hot. Tables are just a bit too small for two entrees- especially if you had chips or any additional starter items. If you try to have three items on a two place table, at some point, you'll probably be wearing one of them! The taste of the food is very good. read more

Rude bartenders, been going to this location at A terminal for years. This last visit was very bad and just left and went to an establishment in Terminal B. Their quesadillas are good but can not stand rudeness, will not go back. read more

The food is average. Probably quite good for airport standards. The pulled pork is nice. I want to leave a review for the server Elaine G. She is AMAZING! So sweet, very attentive and always asking if you need a refill (more chips? Another margarita?). read more

Blanco's is a pretty good place. At first I thought the prices were reasonable (under 20 bucks for the green tacos). Then I saw the size of the tacos - about 1/2 the size of a standard taco. Ugh. Oh well, this is an airport. On the plus side, the tacos were great, delicious! Service was the fastest I've EVER seen at an airport. The only downside is for large parties (3 or more) you can expect a wait to get in. Also keep in mind that the A & B terminals are VERY far apart here so if you're in a rush it might not be do-able, but it is worth the walk (or run). read more

I have been hitting up this spot since it opened and Blanco makes me happy! What a fun and amazingly talented staff this local spot has. Bartenderess XT is so funny and not only can manufacture drinks at a rapid pace she also speaks French. Her co-star Camill is a perfect match as she gives this place an upbeat fun energy that reminds us to enjoy our day. I recommend the breakfast burrito ( Because it's always breakfast somewhere : even Hong Kong ) I'd say get it without beans and just double up the rice ( to make your take home nice ) Blancos Happy Hour starts at 2pm and goes until 5pm so plan this afternoon accordingly. Thank you for what you do Blanco! read more

Blanco Tacos & Tequila airport restaurant maintains a reasonable level of crowd management. Despite being bustling, it is kept clean and tidy. I've frequented this establishment multiple times and have consistently encountered friendly staff. Despite the busy atmosphere, they efficiently cater to customers without making anyone feel hurried. Every dish is served fresh and in generous portions. I particularly enjoy their chicken burrito and make it a point to order it almost every time I visit. If you're looking for something near the B gates this is your spot! read more

7/20/24 at 10:40am Honestly, the server or maybe server manager was really rude, not sure exactly positions, but wasn't the host they were really nice. It was a white lady with a lot of earrings on and glasses and hair in pony tail. I went to the bar to ask the bartender who came up to me earlier about how I ordered the drink he made me on the QR code and he said I'll make it, Don't worry about it , so then that lady came at me aggressive and said you need to order the drink on the QR code and I tried to explain situation like I went up to bar to ask how I added that certain cocktail he made, but she wasn't listening to me at all. I definitely felt embarrassed she was loud as well and I just never treated with disrespect like that. Then the bartender came over with the drink that he made me, and I didn't feel comfortable being there anymore and I just paid and left. read more

Layover at the airport and you would think being at an airport they would rush people through, but they heavily rely on a app for service which delays everything. Food wasn't anything special. Cesar salad has the Mexican spin using corn and corn chips instead of croutons. Overall nothing great if you have time for another terminal so that. read more

Great food and good service. Good prices as well compared to similar concepts. The ceviche was our favorite!

Gayle and I had breakfast here this morning before boarding our American Airlines flight to Reno (and then home). After an easy stroll through the TSA Precheck side of Security, we had enough time to sit down and enjoy our meal and favorite beverages (coffee for me and Bloody Mary for her). CONS 1. Gayle's Bloody Mary was rather weak. 2. My bacon was overcooked and the "over medium" eggs were too runny. PROS 1. Friendly, attentive, and efficient service. 2. Relatively comfortable seating and a low crowd and noise factor. 3. Decent pricing for Airport food. 4. My traditional breakfast (including an English Muffin was warm and tasty. 5. Good coffee with free refills. 6. Gayle enjoyed her breakfast burrito. read more

Ordered a Pork Burrito received a mess. Tortilla was completely shredded, food was everywhere but in the burrito. It was obvious and should not have been handed over that way. They should have just put it all together in a bowl with that effort. Went straight to the garbage. For $20, save your money and walk to Panda Express 20 yards away. read more

Came in on a layover flight back home, and did the table reservation for a single- and seated in 5 minutes. Very busy & loud, but the food is really good & the services is fast and very polite. A bit pricey, but the food quantity is excellent. If I am back in Phoenix, i'll definitely be back. read more

Let's be honest, airport restaurants tend to have a pretty bad rep. With the underpaid workers, lack of repeat clientele and limited resources, I understand why! When I arrived, this spot was PACKED, and initially the service was AWFUL. I must've caught someone at the wrong time because as a party of 1, I was screamed and and chastised for ASKING...not walking towards, not asserting myself but ASKING if bar service was first come, first serve. Convincing myself I may as well wait it out for the food, I joined the line, and after about 2 minutes I was at the original bar seat I inquired about... If the story ended there, this would be a cautionary tale, but luckily from here, everything turned around! The app for ordering was malfunctioning but our bartender kept a cool head. She was apologetic, sincere and accommodating in the weeds. She was quick to suggest refills, check on order status and keep positive energy in the air! So, 1 star for every delicious taco I inhaled, and a bonus star for this bartender, who embodied positivity and entirely changed my perception of this restaurant! B in real life but an A- for airport stops. read more

First time I have ever been to Blanco Tacos and I saw the food coming out which it all looked good. The burritos looked nice and warm on the dish when they came out. I ordered the chicken caesar salad with a Bud Light. After I had saw some meals and food coming out. The Caesar salad was really good. The Caesar dressing was more vinegar flavored but I enjoyed it. The service was good and the bartender was very aware of you were low on water or a beverage. Blanco Tacos is definitely a busy atmosphere it a good spot to wait for your plane if you need a spot to chill or work. They had outlets under the bar which is super helpful. read more

This restaurant is located in the A gate area. The food came quicker than my drink (Bloody Mary) so if you're in a rush this is still an okay spot to go to. The servers kept checking in on me and had a great work flow. However, I wish there was a Chipotle in the airport because the Mexican food here is so unbelievably bland. I left full but the food definitely could've been better. It's also expensive for what you get but I guess that's just airport food for you. read more

$13 for a burrito that's mostly beans, without any salt/pepper anywhere???? CRAZY. Literally the worst burrito I've ever had. Never again. Also to call what I received a chicken burrito is asinine considering there was like 6 chicken chunks in the whole burrito. I ended up getting something else. read more

I don't know what the food is like for lunch or dinner but the breakfast was awful. The eggs were scrambled as ordered however they refrigerator cold. The coffee was hot but supper strong. I would not recommend this for breakfast unless you are so hungry and there was nothing else available. read more
