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!

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.

Frank T.

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!

Every time I come here it gets more packed, which is both annoying and completely understandable because the food is ridiculously good. The tacos are fantastic, the fries are life-changing, and the hongos fries specifically deserve their own national holiday. This place made the Top 100 food spots in America list, and honestly? Deserved. It's the best taco spot in the country in my opinion and makes places like Torchy's feel like they're competing in junior varsity. The vibe is also way above average for a taco joint; lively, clean, and full of people who look like they just took their first bite and immediately started planning their next visit. The taco crew is always friendly too, even while dealing with lines longer than a DMV on a Monday. If you don't know what to order, here's the move: Get one taco or an especial if you're a cheese enthusiast, a medium fry with your topping of choice, and guac with chips. That's the kind of meal that makes you sit in your car afterward thinking about your life choices in a positive way. Enjoy. And maybe stretch beforehand because you're going to want to fight someone over the last hongos fry.

They make my tacos just how I ask every time I come, and I make changes! Most recently was last night after a rough rental car situation (avoid NU check those reviews eek) and the bartender was awesome. Quick service, friendly and took my order perfectly. Strawberry lemonade is my absolute favorite and if you know me I'm a lemonade girl. Tacos are perfect, the meat has virtually no weird fat on them like most tacos do. Both carne and chicken. Delicious. I'm here for five days this trip and I'm going back for sure, may end up at the Tempe location too. I should mention the great atmosphere and getting I got, a "welcome in" from the ladies behind the counter as well as the bartender I wish I got his name. Thank you for making my night :)

That sucks for…read morethe servers because they won't make service tips and they still bring stuff to the tables often. The water is serve yourself and they ran out of both of them. I feel like thats a rubios or mc Donald's vibe. Ceviche should be like $11, $14 wasn't worth it. Vegetable taco should be cheaper than all the tacos and it was just sweet potato inside. The tacos are good but they're not what I was expecting. This is more of a fast food style taco. The whole restaurant reminds me of Rubios. The only things we didn't like were the chips and the rice and beans were not good at all, not even Mexican. But like I said the food is good with nice flavors but for a $5 taco I expected plates and table service. No one wants to stand up to order a marg and then order another one after, they'll prob just order 1 marg and go somewhere else when they're done eating, it's not smart. It's not relaxing to eat here after work. We were all fighting for the tables and it's not a vibe. Not enough inside seats and tons of outdoor seats. I'd totally tell the owner to close up the register area, expand the kitchen, and get the girls to be servers. No one wants to pay full price ceviche and tacos to a restaurant with no table service. The vibe doesn't match the price so I think you should change the vibe to be high end and step up service to match the prices of food. Or match the vibe to a fast food all the way and change some prices. The food is fast so they can easily do a drive thru or walk up and order window. Should be $3 for veggie, $4 for regular taco $5 for loaded or special tacos with expensive The guac matches the vibes! Sold in plastic cups. And $6.50 $4 on happy hour. That explains the vibes of the restaurant perfectly.

It was very busy and after ordering, I was standing with others waiting for my food when the other cashier called me up to check on me, thinking I hadn't figured out the process. He was very nice! The place was packed people finished quickly so getting a table wasn't hard. They also had someone cleaning up tables quickly. I got a carne asada caramelito and a carne asada taco. The caramelito continues to be my favorite of the two. Love the roasted salsa on the salsa bar though the hot red one is really good too! I do wish their guac salsa had more tang and salt. I find it bland. These are among my fave tacos but not my absolute so thus the 4 stars.

Out of all the restaurants I had before leaving Arizona, THIS ended up being one of the places I couldn't stop thinking about after I moved away. Ever since leaving, I've randomly craved these tacos constantly. I've tried other taco spots in Denver hoping something would compare, but honestly nothing really hit the same. So when I came back out to Phoenix recently to visit some friends, this was one of the first places I knew I needed to come back to because I had built it up so much in my head over time. And somehow... it was just as good again. The meat tastes incredibly fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned, and you can literally watch them prepare everything right in front of you, which makes the whole experience even better. There's something so satisfying about seeing the tacos being made fresh instead of food just appearing from the kitchen. You can tell they care about quality and consistency. The servers were also super friendly and welcoming both times I came here, which honestly makes such a difference. Everyone had great energy, the service was quick, and the whole place just feels inviting and authentic. I honestly think the fact that I remembered this place so vividly for so long says everything. Usually when you revisit a restaurant after hyping it up in your head for years, it ends up disappointing you. But this place tasted exactly how I remembered it, fresh, flavorful, comforting, and absolutely worth the obsession. Safe to say this place is officially a mandatory stop for me anytime I'm back in Phoenix now.
