    Both the food and service were excellent. We brought some friends here for the first time and had a great time. They also commented on how great the food and service were this evening. Btw, the short rib machaca is a must try; very delicious! The margaritas were of good quality and enjoyable. The restaurant was energetic and made our dinner time fun. So far haven’t been disappointed in several visits to Blanco. Definitely will be back (soon)!

    Our party had the Gucamole, Pasta Baconora, Green Chili Enchiladas, Taco Baconora, and Tacos Birria. The baconora and birria items flavors were really great.the enchilada was a bit more bland than expected. Server was very nice but it was a bit slower to get drinks and initial order. Overall a good experience and somewhere we will visit in the future

    Our server was amazing. The host stand was a 2/5. Not very pleasant and couldn’t be bothered but the server definitely made up for it as we were worried that the start of our experience at the front was setting the tone. Lucky us our server was a 10/10 and the food was delicious!

    Fantastic meal, service and vibe! Entire staff was friendly - not just our servers. No complaints about a single thing. Our main server, Jeffrey was very nice to chat with and he was so attentive, it seemed he was always at our table when we needed anything. Don't skip the guacamole or grits! We all had beef entrees which were cooked perfectly and couldn't have tasted any better. Our birthday dessert was a pumpkin bread pudding and it was so delicious I might even like bread pudding now!
