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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

SanTan Juicy Jack IPA
Jason T.

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!
Nathan M.

Listen, it's an airport bar in a satellite terminal. So I didn't expect mind blowing food. But their guacamole and salsa were good! Perfectly spiced and not oh-hum. The ranch waters were even better! If you have time in Phoenix airport and want a place to sit, have a bite and a decently priced airport adult beverage try this place. I would definitely stop here again while waiting for my next flight!

Breakfast burrito
Todd R.

While this is in the airport I would hope for a little bit of service. There is a restaurant side and an order to go side. Not spice to the burrito but it was okay. While the lady was helpful the guy working with her was rude. The customer before me started she had good service but as soon as she left the guy said she doesn't know good service and he could give her full service. The lady behind the counter took it but I am sure she was caught off guard

See all

$14.14 for a single beer! Wait till you land. Service was great but I can't justify the price even for an airport

I rarely review airport food but the fish tacos were outstanding. Plenty of food and timely service for a somewhat reasonable price.

I had been waiting what felt like an eternity to try out this disco-themed speakeasy! Disco balls,…read morelots of moving lights, swanky vibes, groovy music, and attentive and intelligent servers! Love it! I started out with a cocktail - the Mega Viral! Once you try it, you will understand the name. One of the more innovative cocktails I have ever had... and I ended up having two! So delicious and an experience in itself!! We enjoyed some light bites as well - the Edamame Hummus and Shishito Peppers. Both were fantastic! I love that their menu points out which items are gluten-free... and our server even warned me that the plantain chips in the Edamame Hummus could have cross-contamination... so I very much appreciate that heads up! I opted to order them anyway and I am so glad I did - so good! And I experienced no gluten issues. Awesome! I'm already looking forward to a return trip!

I love the giant disco balls and the aesthetic of this place. We started with the appletini and lemongrass highball (non-alcoholic). My friend and I ended up switching drinks because we liked each other's more than our own. For the second round, we ordered the brandy spritz and primrose martini. We weren't fans of the brandy spritz, although my friend grew into it. The primrose martini was quite good, I liked it better than the appletini. For snackies, we ordered the glizzy gaunlet, which was basically a tower of carbs. It came with 5 mini dogs with milk bread, and potato wedges. There were 3 sauces, my favorite in order were the: truffle dijonnaise, kosho aioli, and korean ketchup. We enjoyed this more than the food at Filthy Animal. Although it was pricey ($22) for just carbs and hardly any protein. The milk bread was delicious and the mini dogs were pretty good too. The potato wedges were cooked perfectly, slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Would I return? Probably not. The food was better than the drinks but it wasn't outstanding.

I want to give 5 stars for the amazing dinner experience at Filthy Animal. I've been a few times…read morenow, and the food and service during dinner have always been incredible. The oysters are a must, the steak is cooked perfectly, and everything is plated so thoughtfully it really feels like a full experience, not just a meal. The dinner staff has also always been attentive, friendly, and on point. That said, I recently came in for brunch and had a very different experience. I'm a huge pancake person, so I was excited to try the strawberry pancakes, but they were honestly disappointing. They were soggy, lacked any fluff, and had more of a cornbread texture than a pancake. The strawberry topping also wasn't very appetizing--it seemed like it was meant to be more of a sauce, but it didn't quite work. I completely understand that higher-end restaurants like to get creative with their dishes, but I think some basics like pancakes should still be done really well. I'll definitely be back for dinner, but I'd probably skip brunch next time.

Inside is truly unique blend of African safari, Aussie chefs complete with hats wood grilling tomahawks and tons of meat right in the middle of the restaurant. Decor is again rather unique with a mix of wood, soft furnishings, drapes, brass and stuffed exotic animals (which im sure are clever fakes) Josh at the bar was awesome, not just for me but extremely attentive and quick at delivery. Remembered drink preferences, even an unusual order i made which he delivered perfectly after serving 2 others who joined me. Everyone behind the bar kept my water topped up and the bar free of soiled napkins and empty glasses. Prices were extremely reasonable. Few drafts on tap and am extensive bar and cocktail selection. Definitely going to return back to enjoy the food, smelled wonderful.
