The service was great. However, the food wasn’t as amazing as our visit to the phoenix location. The cheese crisp wasn’t even “crisp”. It was disappointingly soggy. We drove far to come dine here so we were bummed about the food quality.
Blanco Cocina + Cantina – Fashion ValleyResponded on 13 November 2024
Chandni, I'm very sorry to hear this! The best part about the cheese crisp lies in it name! We should always have the dish be crispy and amazing! We appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback with us and will address with the team. Thank you again!

The food was fantastic. The service was super slow and our waitress wasn’t attentive. She spilled water on our table and didn’t have the decency to wipe the table dry.

We decided to go here with some friends for the first time to try it out during Restaurant Week, and it exceeded our expectations! Everything from the accommodations we were given for seating (there was an infant in our party), the friendly server, to the huge servings of food was amazing. Definitely a better experience than at some other restaurants we've visited during Restaurant Week. Sometimes it feels like restaurants skimp on you if you order the special deal, but at Blanco it seemed no different than if we'd ordered off the regular menu. We were so pleasantly surprised, and will most likely return for another meal in the near future.
Blanco Cocina + Cantina – Fashion ValleyResponded on 4 October 2024
Thank you Marie! YES! We give you what's on our menu for RW and do not skimp! We love to hear that you had a great experience with us and hope that we can host you again soon!

First time goer to this spot. Food was decent, we took advantage of restaurant weeks menu otherwise menu pricing is a little expensive for portion size. Nonetheless ambient is great, decor is good, and service was great! I would go back again.
Blanco Cocina + Cantina – Fashion ValleyResponded on 29 September 2024
Thank you Alejandro! The restaurant week menu is a great value and I'm glad you took advantage of it! We host similar promotions like restaurant week so stayed tuned! Thank you again!
