OMG! So we seen…read morethis place on a segment on Channel 3 (We call it the Arizona Channel) and being a huge fan of breakfast, burritos and hatch chilies, I had to try it. We went the same day, arrived to discover there was an accident that took out the stoplight and hit the owners car. Even with that going on, she welcomed us and we ordered a couple of burritos while taking not of all of the fresh pastries and other goodness. We ordered one beef and green chile and a Sausage breakfast burrito. They make their own sausage for these from a recipe that has been in the family for over 100 years, and I highly recommend it. Both were exceptional and they are huge and do not skimp on the meat. After those we could not pass up grabbing some of the Maple Peach bread pudding and an Apple Danish. The Apple Danish was outstanding, cannot speak to the bread pudding as that disappeared before I was able to try it. This place is awesome, great food, great staff, great atmosphere, and we will be adding this to our breakfast rotation for sure. I need to return to try the burgers, and I'm certain they will not disappoint. If you are in the area, this is the place you need to try for sure.

Vince was an outstanding bartender. His cocktails were perfectly balanced, he was attentive without hovering, and he genuinely seemed to care that everyone was having a great experience. He was happy to answer questions, made great recommendations, and created such a welcoming atmosphere. Savannah was great too. The food was delicious, the service was exceptional, and the ambiance was exactly what I was looking for. If I could, I'd start every morning here. Vince truly made my day, and that's not something you can say about many places. 10/10 experience. I can't wait to come back!

We used to come here pretty often, and even though we moved farther away and hadn't been in a…read morewhile, we were really looking forward to coming back. Unfortunately, this visit was a huge disappointment. We arrived about an hour before closing and sat down as we normally do. While I was walking to the restroom, which is located past the kitchen area, I heard a server/bartender we've seen several times before ask the cook, in an obviously annoyed tone, if two people had just arrived. When he said yes, she responded, "Who the fuck!?" The cook then looked directly at me. At that point, I honestly felt extremely uncomfortable and wanted to leave. We decided to stay since my boyfriend had already ordered a beer, but the experience immediately felt different. We felt like our presence was an inconvenience simply because we came in an hour before closing. Unfortunately, the food didn't make up for it. We ordered the beef skewers and a burger. The skewers were okay, but they were not nearly as good as we remembered them being. The burger, however, arrived completely cold. What makes this especially disappointing is that we used to really enjoy coming here. We understand that being close to closing time can be frustrating for a restaurant, but customers should still feel welcomed, especially when they are coming in well before closing and have supported the restaurant in the past. We really hope this was just a bad night, because we genuinely used to love coming here. But after this experience, we unfortunately left feeling very disappointed.

If you're looking for a good Mexican restaurant, definitely give Blanco a try -- you won't be disappointed!

Customer service was nice and friendly, and the restaurant itself is beautiful and very unique inside it really stands out. They have an extensive drink menu and some interesting food options, including items like bone marrow. The pricing is on the higher end, more like a special occasion or upscale restaurant. They do offer the option of corn or flour tortillas, but it wasn't clearly mentioned that the flour tortillas cost an extra $1.50, and they are very small. I didn't even need tortillas, and I still ended up being charged for flour when I didn't choose that option, which was frustrating. Another issue was the timing of the food. We were a group of five, and our meals came out at different times instead of all together, which made it hard to enjoy the meal as a group. Also, they don't offer complimentary chips and salsa at the beginning like most Mexican restaurants. You do have the option to order them as an appetizer, but it's something to be aware of if you're expecting that standard. As for the food, the flavor was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it didn't really stand out compared to other Mexican restaurants. One more thing to be aware of is how the bill is set up. They include a 20% gratuity for larger parties, which is fine, but then taxes are applied after that total. So you end up paying tax on both the food and the gratuity, which makes the final bill feel much higher. That didn't sit right with me. Overall, this place feels more about the experience and atmosphere than the taste of the food. There are plenty of other spots with better flavor and more affordable prices for a regular visit, so this feels more like a once-in-a-while or special occasion kind of place.

I ordered their HH double smash burger and it was juicy and very flavorful just the way I like it. Also ordered their HH breaded asparagus, it was okay. Not much flavor to it but it did come with a dipping sauce which tasted better with it. My BF ordered the HH grilled bacon wrap shrimp and the pasta Heidi. Both were full of flavor and aesthetically colorful and bright. Would love to come back and try other dishes as I love their Santa Fe inspired dishes.

She gave us her name but I forgot because I honestly just wanted to leave, my friend however insisted we stay as we both love the food. Arrived at 11PM yesterday we know the kitchen closes at midnight. So we thought we have an hour for a couple of drinks and a meal. We go downstairs. 2 bartenders behind the bar. They see us, make eye contact and neither one acknowledges us. Fine, we didn't want to stay anyway, music was loud and we wanted to chat. We go upstairs and no one behind the bar. No one greeted us (late, it's ok we understand) we waited for a good 3 minutes until the buser asks us if we have been helped. We said we want to be seated. Only to find out the bartender was in front of the bar talking to 2 other guys . Saw us, thought may be if she didn't acknowledge us we'd go. The buser says "ask that girl" so we do. She said the bar downstairs is open. We told her we came from there and it's too loud. Are you open and can we be seated here, she Goes behind the bar, starts making a drink, we're now 6-7 minutes in standing with no resolution. My friend goes and asks the bar tender again can we be seated and she says ( and I'm paraphrasing because I was fuming I forgot the exact words but something along the lines of "I'll help you when I'm done with this, or when I'm available") I simply just wanted to leave. Friend insisted we stay and clear it with her. She seats us and 2 minutes later comes and introduces herself as if nothing happened. My friend says we wanna make sure kitchen is open. She confirms. Then my friend says "we started off bad here and the way you responded earlier that "your help us when you're available" is not a way to welcome a patron, as we both worked in the industry and still have friends in the industry. Her response in a condescending way was "I'll do better" my friend said no, there we go again, it's not genuine and we just want to make sure we are good "I'm sorry I'll do better" she responds so we simply told her we give up, let's just order our drinks. When she comes back to take food order she can barely speak, she said her mouth was dry or something, and she had the hiccups ... that's when we knew she must have been drinking and we interrupted her little chat with friends at the bar. Once again. The food was amazing. The gusset was very friendly, the bartender who waited our table was unprofessional, rude, and condescending and I don't want her fired but she certainly needs a reality check! That this is not the way to speak with guests. We didn't ask for a manager simply because we didn't want to waste time and wanted to get a drink, eat and be on our merry way. We'll still come back, and enjoy coming to Richardsons and Rokerij

That said, we were excited to come back to one of our favorite spots for a great meal! It could have been an off night, maybe a replacement chef, but we left feeling a little disappointed in the meal and experience. The chicken was overcooked and dry, The pasta was described as linguine, but what arrived was more like a thick, undercooked udon--nothing like the pasta I've had there over the years. The rich, spicy sauce that I remember was also missing, as was the tortilla chip garnish. Overall, the dish was surprisingly bland and simply not very good. After 20 years of ordering it, I was really disappointed--and at the price, it just wasn't worth it.
