Everything was great from our service the food. Food was very delicious and just the right amount. The sound level was a bit loud for our preference but we could still have a conversation. Our server was very attentive, gave inciteful recommendations and was patient when we used several GC's to pay. Made our date night very relaxed and enjoyable. Would return again.

Stopped by Blanco in Kensington and went with the tacos — beef and pork. Both were really solid. The meat was flavorful and well-seasoned, and once I added a bit of hot sauce they really came alive. Simple, satisfying, and easy to enjoy without overthinking it. The vibe in Blanco is always a highlight too: lively, warm, and energetic, with a clear nod to Spanish-inspired design and atmosphere that makes it feel fun and social. It’s a great spot to hang out, share food, and enjoy a relaxed but upbeat dining experience.

A beautiful and cozy Mexican spot with a fantastic vibe - perfect for a gathering with friends! My daughter and I tried the Quesabirria tacos, and they were delicious. I also absolutely loved the Piña Colada; it was a real treat. Great food, great atmosphere, and highly recommended for young people looking for a cool hangout.

I just ate there tonight and Zara was my server. She was by far the best server I have ever had. From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. She knows the menu inside and out, gave great recommendations, and made sure everything was perfect without ever feeling rushed. Her positive energy really elevated the whole experience. Great restaurant, great people!
