    Shrimp tacos
    Holly M.

    Our AA flight was delayed several hours so we stopped in at Blanco Tacos & Tequila for drinks and a bite to eat while waiting for our new flight time. The restaurant was packed as several flights were either cancelled or delayed due to mechanical issues or weather. They do have a convenient scan code n the table but our sever was always ready to take out order whenever we needed him. Our server Matt was just awesome. He was very attentive and we were never left waiting for service. I think we were there for at least 3 hours between drinks and food. He was very friendly and we were concerned about the amount of time we were there but we made sure we were consistent in ordering. I also want to compliment another server named Elaine who was serving the tables next to us. She was very friendly and upbeat. Always with a smile and respectful to her customers. Our drinks were promptly delivered. We ordered chips and guacamole as well as the shrimp tacos. The guacamole was delicious and my husband loved the shrimp tacos. I've been to other Blanco locations in the valley and this was the best service and food in my opinion. Overall a great experience.

    Spicy margarita!! Spicy, and delicious!
    Sylvia C.

    I've eaten here before, but this time I just wanted to stop in for a very quick spicy margarita with a tajin rim! I told the Bartender not to be skimpy with the Tajin and that I wanted to feel the tickle in my throat from the spiciness of the spicy margarita. I am happy to say that she thoroughly delivered! I don't know about you, but when I order a spicy margarita, I want it to be spicy! And trust me y'all, this one was spicy!

    Nachos
    Kyla F.

    Blanco Tequila & Tacos delivers exactly what you want when you're craving something quick, fresh, and satisfying. I ordered the nachos and they were out in under five minutes, which is always a win. While they weren't spicy, they were packed with great flavor and texture--crispy chips, well-balanced toppings, and a solid portion that didn't feel skimpy. Perfect if you enjoy bold taste without the heat. Fast service, tasty food, and a laid-back vibe make this a great stop whether you're grabbing a quick bite or hanging out for tacos and tequila.

    Sweet potato taco made vegan
    Isabelle T.

    I was in this area for the Forbes summit and a friend suggested we go here. Fox restaurants usually does great with vegan options. Our server was so kind and ensured I knew what could be made vegan. I ordered the tacos. We ordered a guacamole for the table and it was smothered in cheese which was disappointing, it took some time before she checked on us. The remade quac didn't come out until after our food and she kindly had it comped. Overall it was a nice experience and perfect patio weather.

    QR code to order from table
    Tamara E.

    While waiting for a flight, I decided to visit this restaurant. Since I arrived during breakfast time, I asked the hostess if they were only surging breakfast bd she replied that their full menu was available to order. Upon hearing this, I was quickly seated then informed that ordering as done via QR code. As I was preparing to order via the QR code, waiter Matthew came and informed me that I could either or via the app or he could take my order in person. After looking at the menu via the QR code, I decide to order the veggie taco without sour cream. Matthew informed me that the guacamole was also mixed with a little sour cream so I decided against having that and he offered having avocado slices instead. I quickly received the order of veggie tacos topped with an avocado slice, cabbage, lots of pico de gallo served with a side of white rice with corn and black beans. Though the tacos looked good, the it was extremely spicy which ai couldn't determine if this was due to the pico de gallo or veggies. To me, the rice and beans were okay but not very flavorful. As I finished my meal, I was a little disappointed in the lackluster taste of the tacos, rice, and beans. Other than the less than stellar food experience, the staff and overall layout of the restaurant were great.

    Burrito Bowl
    Elizabeth M.

    I stopped at Blanco for a quick meal at the Phoenix Airport and had a Burrito Bowl because I wanted something on the light side that was tasty and would carry me for a few hours and it did the trick. It was heavy on the greens, which I appreciated, though I would have liked a little more protein. To be honest, service was not the greatest as my server was trying to get me to leave in a hurry though the restaurant was basically empty AND he had yet to return my card which he had forgotten at his station (like, I'll leave as soon as you give me back my card but also, why are you rushing me to leave when 3/4 of the restaurant is empty?) It left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth but given that the food was mostly good and it seems his service was an exception to him (based on other positive reviews), I'll still give it 4 stars because I don't imagine this is a frequent occurrence.

    First the service was outstanding. Matthew was my server and he was spot on. Greeted immediately had water on the table and had my drink in less than a couple of minutes. I ordered the chips and salsa with a small side of guac and the grilled fish tacos. The guac was good and creamy could have used a little more salt. The salsa was fine, I would recommend a spicy and mild version. The one served is a little on the mild side. The service was so fast, that as I ate the first chip the tacos came out. The tacos were fine with good flavor. The cabbage and house sauce paired well with the fish. The fish itself was a tad overcooked and could have used more flavor. In all a good place to stop by, that is incredibly fast. You will not miss your connection. Thanks Matthew for great service.

    Either a Zin Burger or this next to my gate. Zin Burger had no seating so this. Figure steak is better than burger. Chips and salsa were ok. Queso and salsa were nothing to write home about. The chips were nice totopos style. Paired well with the burrito. Steak was cold. Probably wouldn't have noticed if covered in beans and rice. Sauce made up for it. Hey it is airport food.

    Cheers!
    Shannen R.

    No complaints, for an airport restaurant/ bar it was great. Plenty of room seats at the bar if you're alone or in a hurry. The service was fast and the bartender was friendly and attentive while also leaving me alone to watch a show on my iPad. I did not eat here but the food looked good. I just came for a drink or two and caught my flight home.

    Nice Mexican food Amazing service. Small bar but nice ambiance. Amazing quality food. And we tried burrito tacos and chips. Beer with maxican food was amazing.

    Treana A.

    Stopped by because my flight got pretty delayed. It had steady flow of people but open. You have to use QR code in order to be seated which was odd when no real line. Since it was just me I got stuffed in a corner. You order via QR code. I tried the bowl. It was good and filling. I would recommend stopping by here just have your phone ready for all the QR codes

    Sweet corn tamale
    Jennifer F.

    I've been here a few times now and the service is always great! Drinks and food have been good as well. On my last visit I just ordered the sweet corn tamale and while it did taste like a corn tamale, it was a little on the saltier side.

    Chill Mexican American spot in the AA terminal. Coming from SoCal I can't judge the food because it's not real Mexican. If you want a cold draft and are in between flights it's a cool pitstop as opposed to going down the terminal to a pick up and go spot that doesn't have a bar. This is essential when in between flights.The staff is very friendly.

    Nice fresh chips...guacamole.  Relaxing, munching and waiting on to board...need I say more?  Go get some, you know you want to!

    After attending a performance at the Phoenix Theatre Company, I was on the prowl for a small meal…read more Taco Boy's was in the area, so I made my way. Located on Roosevelt Row, Taco Boy's has a parking lot. It's not big, but I found a spot on a Thursday evening. Ambiance (3.5/5): Taco Boy's is a little chaotic. You order at the counter and then they call your name when your food is ready. It's not a large taco joint, and it's a popular taco joint. Which means you'll see a lot of people cycling in and out, as a lot place to-go orders too. Not the most calm experience, but not an issue for me. You'll also come out smelling like meat lol. They have an open kitchen, and it smells fantastic. The downside is that it sticks to your clothes, too. Service (4/5): Service isn't a big part of the experience, but for what it is, it's pretty smooth. They took my order quickly, I paid relatively quickly, and my food was ready in a reasonable amount of time. Drinks (5/5): I'm a sucker for agua frescas. Taco Boy's delivers. They had four flavors available. I went with the pineapple/mango. It's served in a large cup. Good stuff. Food (5/5): I wasn't terribly hungry so I got a small barbacoa quesadilla. Outside of quesadillas, they have tacos, vampiros, and burritos. Your choice of meat including usual suspects like carne asada, al pastor, chicken, etc. They grill all of their food right in front of you and it's absolutely delicious. Fresh off the grill. Flavorful. Well marinated. Quality meats and ingredients. At the complimentary salsa bar, you can stock up on various sauces, limes, cucumbers, etc. I can't wait to get back to have a heartier meal and try out more of their items. Hands-down, the best Mexican food I've had in Phoenix so far (after a year and a half).

I believe the only option for parking is to find street parking. I don't think they have a parking lot, unless I missed it. I tried their Costra taco, which is a beef taco with caramelized cheese, and it was amazing! I also tried the chicken taco, which was good. For a drink, I had their Strawberry-Lemonade Agua Fresca, and it was really good as well. Desserts don't count while you're on a business trip, right? So, I ended up ordering the Tres Leches de Coco, and it was absolutely amazing. It wasn't overly sweet at all and felt surprisingly light. The only thing I didn't like about this place was the restroom situation. You have to grab a key from the restaurant and walk outside to a restroom a few restaurants over. The restroom itself also had a few broken items, some light graffiti here and there, etc., which took away from the overall experience a little. Overall, I'd highly recommend the Costra taco and Tres Leches de Coco!

Even better, you could see the tortillas being freshly made. I don't know about you, but to me, the fresher the tortilla, the better the food tastes. My bartender was attentive and although the margaritas were frozen, they still snuck up on me. Taco Chelo is a very casual spot. A lot of people were enjoying watching sports at the bar. When in Phoenix again, I'd definitely return.

    Sometimes the best meals happen because your original plan falls through. That was exactly the case…read morehere, and honestly... I'm not even a little mad about it. I ordered the veggie tacos with roasted sweet potatoes (skin on, which was absolutely the right call), pepitas, feta, and all the right toppings. Whoever prepped those sweet potatoes deserves a raise because they were cut into the perfect sized pieces. Every bite had a little sweetness, a little crunch, a little saltiness... it just worked. My dining partner ordered the barbacoa tacos, and I didn't even have to ask if they were good. The involuntary "Mmm..." after the first bite answered that question. Four tacos disappeared in record time, followed by, "I could've eaten two more." That's about as glowing of a review as you're going to get. Now let's talk about these tortillas. Handmade. Corn. Tortillas. Are you kidding me? They're the kind of tortillas that had me question every tortilla I've ever eaten. Soft, fresh, and somehow they manage to steal the spotlight even with everything else on the plate being so good. The chips and guacamole were excellent, too. The chips have to be made in-house and they disappeared at an alarming rate. The salsa that came with them had this smoky, fire-roasted, chipotle flavor that kept me reaching for another chip... and then another... and then suddenly I realized I'd eaten way more chips than I intended. The bottled table salsas deserve their own paragraph because they completely confused me... in the best way. They bring three to the table... a green, a red, and a darker red. I kept tasting them individually thinking, "Okay, these are alright." Then I started mixing them. Game over. On their own, each one was solid. Mixed together? That was the magic. I don't know if that's what they intended or if I accidentally stumbled onto the perfect combination, but from that point on, every taco got the salsa trio treatment. The only tiny hiccup was when we first walked in. We were greeted, asked if we wanted menus, and sat ourselves. We waited for a bit thinking someone would come take our order, only to realize it's actually counter service. Once we figured that out, everything was smooth sailing. Not a big deal at all... just something first-time visitors might want to know. Follow the sign "order here" I also loved the layout. You can actually watch them making the food, which somehow makes the wait even harder because everything smells incredible. Two tacos ended up being the perfect light meal for me. Could I have eaten ten? Absolutely. Those two statements can both be true. Meanwhile, my dining partner polished off four barbacoa tacos and was talking about ordering two more. We only ended up here because another place happened to be closed, and honestly, I'm glad it worked out that way. This ended up being one of those meals we keep talked about on the drive home. Oh and the bathrooms?. I walked in and immediately thought, "Whoa... this is a cool bathroom" The lighting had this pinkish-purple glow that made me feel like I'd accidentally wandered into a trendy lounge instead of a taco shop. I honestly wasn't even sure there was regular lighting in there and I didn't look... because the vibe seemed so intentional. Finally, the music. .. upbeat, dance-worthy, the kind that had me bouncing in my seat while waiting for my food. Between the atmosphere, the lighting, and the music, the whole place had me want to hang out a little longer. Zero regrets. I'll absolutely be back... and next time I'm ordering more tacos.
