    Ah, Blanco in Scottsdale, a true gem in the culinary landscape of the city. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was enveloped in a warm and cozy atmosphere that instantly put me at ease. The service was nothing short of exemplary, with the bar waitstaff checking in several times and ensuring that I felt taken care of throughout the evening. The food was, of course, the star of the show. I indulged in the fajitas, which were served with fresh tortillas, guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo, jack cheese, and black beans. Each bite was a symphony of flavors, with the tender grilled chicken and spicy achiote citrus sauce providing the perfect balance of heat and tang. The dish was so delicious that I found myself sneezing from the pepper's spiciness, but I couldn't help but ask for more! And let's not forget about the complimentary chips and salsa, which were an absolute delight. Fresh, crispy, and served with a zesty salsa that had just the right amount of kick, they were the perfect way to start the meal. All in all, Blanco is a hidden gem in the Scottsdale culinary scene, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From the cozy atmosphere to the exceptional service and mouth-watering dishes, it's a dining experience that is not to be missed. Bravo, Blanco!

    Food good, atmosphere lively but noisy when restaurant is full. Parking was an issue this visit, very busy because of the holidays.

    First timers. Chimneys excellent. Salsa for chips very good. My wife and I shared so we didn’t get a chance to try anything else. Fairly crowded, but got seated right away. We dined outside as it seemed fairly noisy inside.

    Blanco is always a hit. The food is good (although on the salty side this time) and service is solid. We had a new server being trained and both the server & trainer were great and took really great care of us.

    Food is good, about expected for Mexican cuisine, though not outstanding in any way. The seating and service were very good for our group of six.
