I was a very good experience at the restaurant. Food was great. Service was amazing. We took our time to order food and had a few drinks before dinner and we were not rushed. Waitress came a number of times to check on us and made sure we were taken care of.

Took advantage of half price Margarita Monday and Happy Hour tacos ($3 ea). Sampled the MOJO pork, crispy fish, and Baja California shrimp. All were delicious. We also ordered the Chip Platter with pico, refried beans, guacamole, and salsa. Also very tasty. Margaritas sampled were the Chili Coconut (had some kick) and a Raspberry Jalapeño. Two Happy Hours to take advantage of. Very busy and quite loud. We did enjoy our visit and will be back.

Amazing! Blanca is one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Edmonton. Fantastic food, incredible drinks and excellent ambiance. Our server (Olivia) was very helpful in helping us choose all our beverages and food, while being super friendly and efficient. Best customer service ever! Food arrived hot and perfectly sized portions - table made guacamole is a must try! Loved sharing the tacos with our group - all were tasty, the crispy cauliflower a great choice. The selection of cocktails and discussion about different flavours and combinations with Dean went over and above any expectations. Each drink he made was totally different than anything we’d had - and all delicious. Can’t rave enough - highly recommend!
