Really good food and reasonably priced. They have a quite a variety of Tequila.The waitress who served us was well acquainted with the menu and able to help my wife navigate for her many allergies.

This is the best Blanco in the city. However, when you compare it to some other hidden gems in this city; it has room to grow. Mainly, Blanco offers a best in Calgary Tequila menu with many imported bottles that are rare to come by in Western Canada. That said, you pay a hefty penny for the tequila pours, I tried mine on the rocks with a hint of lime. On these grounds, it is an absolute must to come during happy hour from 2-5 pm, where the tequila goes half off and you can get a standard pour of high quality sauce. Margaritas were great, done well and proper. Kinda like a nice steak but think in this case TEQUILA. The tacos here are pretty great with 4 to 5 hot sauces added. Here, I would like to see an ultra spicy option though moving forward for us hot sauce addicts. You know the kind that makes your pores sweat instantly. The food was pretty good depending on the order. For instance, the crispy tilapia tacos were to die for; the chicken ones were to dry; and the beef was spot on. Keep this in mind for your order! The beer selection was great offering Mexican imports and some domestic beer taps. On that note, I went to order a Texas lone star brew and they were completely out of stock which was a bit of a let down as I had a Texas buddy talking about the state beer and I was pretty excited to give it a try. This is a great restaurant atmosphere and I love eating here for a night out with friends ,but it is not really a place for date night in my opinion. This is an easy 4/5 star review for me! Restaurant is very clean with pretty good service and great bathrooms. Thanks Blanco! You can order margaritas in a honey pot for an entire group to drink hard which had Winnie the Pooh vibes. Include a photo of the honey pot for reference. Nice touch!

Really good margaritas. I only wish that there were more options for frozen margaritas, there were only lime and strawberry (both of which were delicious). Lots of options for non frozen margs though, I just don't like those as much.Food was great as well. I had the three tacos (chicken, pork, fish), and my friend got the chicken quesadilla. The tacos don't come with salsa or sour cream, that costs extra. Cheese costs $3 as well, be warned.I would come here again.

We were a group of 4, with a reservation. We enjoyed the evening completely. The atmosphere was excellent the food was very good. It was quite busy in the restaurant, and so our server was also very busy, and it took a while for our drinks and appetizers to arrive at our table. Everything we ordered was delicious from the appetizers to our main course. We spent about 3.5 hrs there, and as we talked and visited with our friends, we never felt as though they were rushing us to leave. We must have stayed for another 1/2 hours or so after we paid the tab.Prices were mostly reasonable for the food we ordered, and the portions were ample.I would definitely recommend a try.

I love tacos! And happy hour and taco Tuesday at Blanco are my favourite. Making the price of your bill much more reasonable. The addition of the free chips and salsa was a good move. Next step, free chip refills???? The guacamole made to order at your table is such a treat and who can resist the chili coconut margarita….the spicy kick is Devine! My favourite tacos with a choice of flour or corn tortillas are chicken, mushroom and shrimp. They have the best in house made spicy mayo that makes my mouth water just thinking about it! You can’t have a bite of taco without it!!! There is free street parking and underground parking but don’t forget to register your license otherwise you will have a $75.00 ticket waiting for you after your great experience at Blanco.

I went on Friday to meet a friend, since we were planning just chat, I sit in the bar to wait for her. Bartender was no nice when she saw me, her aptitude was not friendly. Later another one came by and she was nicer, kudos to her. Margarita was delicious.
