    I had a short rib machaca burrito delivered. Boy, this burrito was packed with meat, so much so that I have some leftover for tomorrow! The burrito has great flavor but I tend to like some crunch, like cabbage, with it. I did feel like I got my money's worth based on the heft of the meat, though. I was disappointed with the small little bit of guacamole that comes with it and that it had already turned dark! Glad I didn't order additional guacamole if it was not going to be fresh! There was also wilted cilantro on the top of my burrito. Tip: eat at the restaurant! Don't have it delivered! I've had other meals at the restaurant that were great!

    Blanco Cocina + Cantina is a casual Mexican spot located in Biltmore Fashion Park. I went in a bit skeptical since the Houston location closed. The atmosphere is lively and colorful, with plenty of space for groups or grabbing drinks before dinner. The service was friendly and attentive. The Paloma was refreshing and tasty. The salsa, however, was underwhelming and lacked flavor. The fish tacos were very tasty, and the rice was rich and buttery. The elote was extremely creamy but still delicious.

    A beautiful restaurant located in the heart of the Biltmore Fashion Square Mall. It is beautifully decorated with a mix of warm natural colors and Mexican culture. Small squint bar area with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The service is fast, friendly and attentive. The food is full of flavor and will leave you satisfied. This is a great choice if you have a craving for Mexican food!

    Fantastic! While we've always loved the food at Blanco (everyone we've taken there loves it too) - the location at the Arizona Biltmore went above and beyond in their service. We were celebrating our son's college graduation and had "big heads" to hold up. Without asking, someone from their staff brought us out margarita tree holders so we could prop them up! It was so thoughtful and made it even more fun. Great service we hadn't even asked for (our waiter was fabulous too). Thanks we will come again for sure!

    Inside

    Came here for dinner, this place is a slightly elevated Mexican American restaurant so expect it to be more expensive than Chipotle but higher quality. The ambiance is very nice inside, lots of music, clean bathroom, lots of Spanish decoration. Seems to be a popular place people come to. I ordered the short rib burrito bowl and found it to be just okay. Nothing too special about the short rib, felt like it lacked flavor. Also thought they were serving short rib with the bone but it was actually like a pulled pork type of meat. The burrito bowl just came with a standard pinto beans, lettuce, sour cream, avacado, rice that was not any different than chipotle in my opinion. Chips were excellent and warm. Service was very nice and attentive which I appreciated. If you're looking for Mexican food at a nice clean restaurant where you don't mind paying like $20 minimum this place is decent but otherwise just go somewhere more authentic and cheaper.

    Mango Stand

    Headed over to Blanco after Yappy Hour and it did not disappoint. The server was very friendly and personable, she even shared a picture of her own pup with us! Super cute! I ordered the warm queso to start, and I was totally not reading and didn't notice that it came with avocado on it so I did have to send it back because I'm allergic but they were very accommodating and brought me a new one, avocado free! The queso was delicious. The real star of the show though was The Tucson Chimichanga which we ordered with the Short Rib Machaca and Enchilada Style! It was also accompanied by rice and beans. The entire thing was soooo yummy. My dog even got his own side of grilled chicken which he absolutely devoured in no less than 30 seconds (LOL). I also ordered a cocktail, the Mango Stand (blanco tequila, spiced mango, chamoy rim). I'm not typically a mango flavor kind of gal but the server recommended it so I went with it. It wasn't bad at all but maybe not one I would get again. The next time I'm at the biltmore fashion park I will definitely be checking out Blanco again to try more delicious menu items.

    My yummy steak fajitas

    This was a fun, vibey and delicious Mexican food spot in the trendy Biltmore district of Phoenix! I came here with colleagues on a business trip, and the place did not disappoint. They accommodated our large group and were able to split the bill for us, including a handy pay by phone option. I ordered a specialty margarita, the strawberry and mandarine one, which was super flavorful and delicious. It was just the right amount of strong. The server brought over fresh chips and salsa for the table, which was much appreciated. I ordered the steak fajitas, which came out smoking on a sizzling platter. I was impressed that all of my food was still hot, including the beans on the side considering we were part of a large group. The ambiance was fun with lots of cool art on the wall and pretty light fixtures all around. Over all, I'd come back for sure!

    oh my God, whatever that slushy drink was it was amazing!!! not too sweet. Very refreshing. I will keep going back just for that drink alone!! But the nachos were so so so yummy and unhappy hour we couldn't even finish them because we were stuffed!!! Can't wait to go back.

    I really wanted to like this place and since it's at the Biltmore Fashion Square, I thought we would have a better time but it was a complete letdown. Weather was perfect and I met a girlfriend here after trying another place that was closed on Sunday. Sometimes shotgun decisions are good and other times like this, it is a disappointment. The space is really nice and we opted to sit outside. I will say the ambiance is nice here, so if that's what you're looking for, come here. What was very odd about our experience is that the place was almost deserted on a Sunday but it felt like the waiter wanted to get us out as quickly as possible. He made the experience pretty unenjoyable and I won't be returning. He kept rushing us to order drinks, and couldn't catch a clue that we were talking. He would leave and when he returned, it was like 2 minutes later. He couldn't pick up on cues and almost forgot to get my girlfriend's drink order. He then kept asking us if we wanted to start with an appetizer and kept suggesting guacamole and chips and when we didn't respond, he then said, "oh ok, just chips and salsa." He also forgot to bring a spicier salsa for my girlfriend even though they just went thru their spicy preferences. I wanted a quesadilla and it wasn't on the menu but he told me that they just turn their crisps into quesadillas. J got the poblano and cheese one, asked if they have mushrooms to add and he said they got rid of it. He also then mentioned they got rid of a dish that has sweet potatoes. Food came out quick, no complaints on the food, but nothing to write home about either. Just your average Mexican food. He then came back on the two bite check in but it literally felt like he came back right when our dishes were dropped off. He then kept asking if we wanted boxes when it was clear we were chatting and grazing slowly on our food. And then kept hounding us about our checks. Lets just say that the service made this place really not fun. It was a Sunday and no one was in the restaurant but it felt like the waiter just wanted to get us out and that was beyond annoying. There was no Sunday specials, food and drinks were mediocre, price point was on the higher end, and a waiter that had bad timing made this my first and last experience with this restaurant. You would do better going elsewhere.

    I visited on a Sunday. There was one person seated at the bar and plenty of open seating inside and outside. It was a very relaxed, chilled vibe. We opted to sit outside. Our waiter was a mess. He did 2 minute check-ins, so annoying. I wondered what the rush was considering the place wasn't crowded. It was very difficult for my friend and I to have a decent conversation because of the constant interruptions. The waiter stated that he would bring out hot salsa with the chips. He forgot. I reminded him and another worker who delivered out entrees. He finally got around to delivering the salsa in between his frequent check-ins. I ordered a chicken burrito bowl. I enjoyed it! The waiter actually collected the bowl prior to me being finished. He assumed that I was done when my friend asked for a to-go box. It was apparent that he was ready for us to leave. Unbelievable. Accessible parking and entrance. Bathrooms are located downstairs.

    Blanco, one of the Fox Restaurant Concepts eateries, is a great spot for a date night or get-together with friends. It's got cool decor and music that adds to the ambiance without being too loud. Service is friendly and usually pretty fast. The food is elevated Mexican, and while I haven't had anything that's out of this world, everything has been very good--there's nothing I regret ordering and there are several things I'd be happy to order again. The Warm Queso is good, though I prefer the Queso Fundido, which has a richer flavor. The Chicken Taquitos are another good starter option. For an entree, I like the Carne Asada Bowl. Blanco also has a strong drink menu that's understandably heavy on the tequila- and mezcal-based cocktails. I like the Strawberry and Mandarin Margarita. Overall, Blanco is a consistently good spot for a fun and tasty meal out.

    The inside has bad acoustics - too loud when busy but we got a table outside and it was lovely. The lunch special was great we had choice of queso or guacamole, plus chips and salsa, two items from their list and a beverage for $16.50. My friend loved both her taco choices. My enchilada and quesadilla were good but should have finished since didn't reheat well.

    Delicious margaritas that is seasonal flavor.
    Luna S.

    Fantastic food and margaritas. I had the seasonal margarita with salted rim and it was the best margarita I've ever had! I rarely drink, but I was celebrating with friends and it was worth it. Highly recommend the enchiladas chicken tika. Comes with rice and beans, which were good too. Dessert: flan is a must try. Our friends ate up the tres leches and they really enjoyed it. Awesome service, very quick and got everything correct.

    Wow. All I can is what a restaurant! Came here on a Wednesday night 3 weeks before Christmas and…read moreit was a vibe. Secluded upstairs dining area with heaters available. Excellent service, a Christmas tree upstairs, and no reservations required. Glad they were able to seat us considering we showed up without reservations. Downstairs gets quickly reserved so seats upstairs are where they push overflow patrons. Right outside Flint's doors downstairs there is a staircase which opens up to the upstairs dining area. Service was prompt, and we got our drinks by the time we had our mains decided. I got a glass of red to pair with my steak. My partner had a refreshing cocktail, but it was decent. The highlights of the night were the food. SO MUCH FOOD! And it was TERRIFIC! For starters we got the artichoke hummus. It sounded a bit weird, but all it was was regular hummus with 4 artichoke hearts that were crispy. The artichoke hearts were crisp, but moist, and I could have kept eating those all day. It comes with 1 pita bread. The server told us to order another and we did, turns out we needed it as the pita breads were quite small ($3 +). Sure only 3 bucks, but nickel and dime if you are spending $14 on an app... For mains I got the filet medium rare with a side of regular potatoes. My partner got the salmon skewer with a side of asparagus. Both the dishes were cooked perfectly and they were familiar dishes with a slightly exotic touch to it. Must be the middle eastern part of the restaurant. The steak came with a ganache or accompaniments of middle eastern sides. Can't recall what they were but they were great when I dipped my potatoes in them. It was sour, tart, acidic, kind of like middle eastern soy sauce. The server recommended it to us and we got it. The salmon skewer came with 5 decent sized pieces on it. Great for a small eater or someone who doesn't want their own meal. It too was delicious and had light touches of sauce or smoke on it. The asparagus is a favorite. It was cooked as usual, typical steak side and both me and my partner enjoyed it! For dessert, as it was my partners birthday the server comped the pound cake. While it was delicious, it was definitely the letdown of the meal. It was way too sweet including the layer of cream that it was doused with. The sweat cream wasn't necessary as the pound cake was incredibly sweet itself. Also, the pound cake wasn't soft like normal cake. It was quite dry once you peeled away the creme layer up top. I definitely should have gone with the Chocolate Ganache Tart. But their mess up worked in their favor. I'm definitely coming back for another meal at Flint!

    Upstairs at Flint is just as AMAZING as inside the restaurant! The food is STILL on 1000% DELISC!…read morethe Service is PERFECT as always! and the ambiance is STELLAR! A beautiful view of the Camelback Mountains. We had a reservation but decided on sitting upstairs, instead. I love that the hostess' are very nice about giving you the options. I have been going to this restaurant since 2018 for business lunches, nice dinners, a company Christmas party-Upstairs. iI is my go to and I highly recommend Flint to others.

    Finding this restaurant is a little tricky. We had to use valet to park our car…read more The restaurant is dark and cozy. We got a cozy quiet booth in the bar area. Our waitress Summer came quickly and got our drink order. Very friendly and gave us information on drinks and sizes. We ordered appetizers-lobster mini sandwiches on a delicious brioche type bun. Mini hotdog bites were also good. Service is great there very attentive. My friend had a ceasar salad which he said was good. Whole pieces of romaine. So be prepared to have to slice it up. I had a greek salad. Pieces of tomato and cucumber were huge. Fresh and dressing was good. But did not enjoy having to slice everything up. Did love the nice size feta. Also had to slice up. For entrees I had the Grilled Branzino with a side of delicious mashed potatoes. The branzino was delicious, loved the herby salsa on top. Mashed potatoes were perfect and good sized. My friend had the House prime rib. He loved it and enjoyed every bite. Summer our waitress was great and made sure everything was perfect. Loved the atmosphere here. We'll be back very soon

    The Mercer had a really nice atmosphere and some great starters. The lollipop wings were definitely…read morethe highlight of the meal -- perfectly sized, flavorful, and easy to eat in one bite. The appetizers overall were well done and probably the best part of the experience. Unfortunately, the steak didn't live up to expectations. For a restaurant at this level, I expected better quality and flavor, but it just wasn't up to par for me. Service and ambiance were good, but the main course fell short compared to how strong the appetizers started off.
