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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Blanco Tequila in Phoenix is a flavorful, fun, and reasonably priced restaurant. We arrived here directly from the airport to meet family friends, and it turned out to be an excellent experience. Our server was incredibly kind and patient, especially since we were all unfamiliar with the extensive menu and entrées. They guided us through our choices, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. The salsas were particularly impressive--authentic, fresh, and bursting with flavor, some even had a spicy kick. This place is perfect for large groups. The bar area was lively, with people watching local sports and having a great time. We had such a wonderful experience that we decided to stop by again before leaving for the airport, so we wouldn't have to settle for overpriced, basic food. There's a secure parking garage about half a block away, which was a huge plus. We had all our luggage, and knowing there was a security guard and secure parking nearby made us feel safe and comfortable. read more
For my early dinner while I waited for my flight to return home, I ordered some chips and salsa and the Blanco chop salad that came with corn, guacamole, beans, crispy tortilla strips, cheese, sour cream, pico de gallo, and creamy ranch dressing. I added chicken for protein. I also added avocado but I guess they only had guacamole. Had I known they didn't have fresh avocados, I wouldn't have ordered it. Guacamole is just not the same as fresh avocado! The salad was good but the chips and salsa were disappointing. The chips weren't particularly fresh and the salsa lacked flavor. It tasted rather bland and could've used some salt. I would've enjoyed my food had I not ordered the chips and salsa. read more
Not bad for an airport restaurant. They had lots of options. I opted for the chicken bowl and it was good. Server had lots of tables but still super attentive. Seating super close together but that's typical at an airport and I was glad i didn't have to wait for a table. read more

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! read more
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 read more

Obviously you won't find the best tacos at an airport but if you have a layover and you're hungry, this place is solid. My review is comparing it to other airport fare, not tacos in general. I really enjoyed it and the service was good. read more
This was an airport location in Phoenix. Good style and comfortable seating. Staff is pleasant and courteous and service is efficient. I dined with my friend and her husband and to be honest, I wasn't hungry; they were. I was going to try the fish tacos with the grilled mahi-mahi but the sweet waitress informed me they were out of those. So I ordered the veggie tacos. The tacos came with rice and beans. The dish was good and reasonably priced. read more
This is a great stop for a meal while you are waiting for your flight. The food is amazing and filling. Service is prompt and friendly. They also have many good drink options. The atmosphere is nice for being in an airport. Both the carne asada tacos and the green chile burrito were delicious and their chips and salsa were perfect! I don't love all the sit down places as t Sky Harbor Airport, but this one is top notch. read more

This is an airport restaurant but was very happy with the Nachos! Ingredients were fresh and the service was great! read more
Stopped in to grab a bite and kill time before my flight. Matt was my server and I must say if he worked at a restaurant near me I would honestly go back just for his awesome service. He was friendly and funny. Almost convinced me to get a pitcher of sangria instead of a glass Lol The burrito was pretty tasty. I got the sauce in the side just to be safe. The White Sangria was one of the best I've had. Matt said they are made fresh in house so the explains it. If you're at PHX def stop by even if it's only for a cocktail. You won't be disappointed. read more
Had time in between flights and was craving a burrito. My husband and I used the QR code to add our names to the waiting list.. the place was packed! However within 5 minutes we got a text our table was ready. We were seated at our table, and used the QR code on the table to order our food. Our waitress was very attentive, she ensured our drinks were filled and our needs were met. For being airport food, it was pretty good. The chips and salsa came out rather quickly.. and the burrito as well. The burrito is HUGE! You definitely get your moneys worth. Pretty good spot in the airport if you have time to spare. read more
Stopped in for a bite to eat during my layover. I was seated quickly and the waiter promptly took my order. The restaurant was abuzz with patrons enjoying drinks and watching the T.V. It had a very relaxed atmosphere. My food are just as quick and was very good for a vegetarian option. Something was a little bitter in the tacos. I think it was the squash. But, it was still very good. My favorite was the black beans and rice. Absolutely delicious!!! Yes, I was hungry. Definitely a great spot to eat. read more

The food is decent and the plates are large. The staff here is not good. You are asked to scan the QR code and then place your order. They then proceed to forget you. I received my meal and coffee but I asked for water and never received it. I kept trying to call the waitress and they just ignored me. I had to ask for the basic items so that I could eat my meal. They didnt once check on me to see if I needed anything and any time I tried to get someone I was ignored. I do not recommend this place at all. It was busy but there were still a lot of empty tables and they had more than enough people working. I travel thru Phoenix a lot and I will not be back here: there are other options for mediocre food . read more

This place really knows how to make a great margarita-the best on the menu are the Strawberry & Mandarin Margarita, Jalapeño & Pineapple, and The Mango Stand. The food itself is pretty average, not as much flavor as I would like and I pinch of too much salt. I do like that they give free chips and salsa if you sit at the bar. The service was also average, not bad, but not great. The decor is very fun and vibrant. I would maybe recommend this as a great place to grab a drink and catch up with friends. read more

You can get a good breakfast burrito at Blanco To Go in the mornings. They have choice of cheese, bacon or chorizo burritos that are fairly large. The bacon burrito is filled with fluffy egg, pico, and bacon. Potatoes on the side were crispy with a mild spice. While the line was long, it moved quickly and food came out quickly. They have sit down dining with a full menu, but I did not try it. read more

My colleague and I checked out the location as we were flying through Skyharbor. We were seated quickly and told that the menu was found on the QR Code. We checked out the menu and found a couple items to order. The chips and salsa were 2.5 dollars. The food came quickly. Staff were attentive, but were also busy and moving through the space quickly. The quesadilla was flavorful and well sized. The tacos were tasty, although the rice and beans were not packing a large amount of flavor. We enjoyed watching the people move throughout the airport. read more
