“ The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure our dining experience was smooth and enjoyable. But let's get to the main event: the tacos and the spic mayo. These were some of the best I've had – perfectly filled with fresh ingredients and bursting with flavor. Taco Tuesday and happy hour pricing is fantastic! Overall, a fantastic spot for a casual and delicious meal. Highly recommend! ”
“ I love Mexican food and this place is absolutely amazing! We tried the quesadilla chicken and tacos and it was wow)) I remembered that I wanted to take a photo of the dishes, but it was too late (but it is there) The food, drinks, atmosphere and service were all great! Will I come here again? Definitely yes! Thank you ”
“ Really good drinks, outstanding food and excellent service. Abraham is an amazing server and a great guy. He was there in my time of need when I ate too much their delicious hot salsa. Thank you very much Abraham! ”
“ We came to Blanco Cantina for dinner a few months ago and we were not disappointed! We had the Tijuana tots, blanco nachos and maple chili chicken wings to share! All the food was delicious. I also got a pina colada, and frozen strawberry margaritas and they were incredible! Unfortunately I only got a pic of the pina colada and nothing else ): When we can we will definitely be returning to try some of their entrees and more drinks! (: ”
“ Tried Blanco for the first time as my friends and were were visiting for the weekend and it was great! We came back the second night because we enjoyed it so much the first time. Our server Brittney made sure we were well taken care of! We will definitely be back! Thanks Brittney! ”
“ This might’ve been my best experience at a restaurant. We had the dirty fries, which were incredible, along with the Chicken Avocado wrap and Classic Wrap. I also tried the Strawberry Dragonfruit lemonade. The food was a 10/10, we got a free bowl of popcorn to start which was amazing, and then the food we ordered on top of that was so so good. Definitely will have it again. Our server, Abraham, was the nicest and best server Ive ever had. He gave a very in detail explanation of the specials and consistently checked in on us, not to mention, the staff in the kitchen were so on top of everything. We ordered 2 drinks, an appetizer, and 2 meals and were in and out of the restaurant within 45 min. Definitely recommend!! ”
“ The best Mexican restaurant we have ever been too! The service from our waitress (who was also tending the bar with great efficiency and ease) was beyond warm, welcoming and cheerful! The food was so delicious we actually went again the next day. I've never seen a program that made it so easy to navigate the menu with our dietary restrictions and allergies. Blanco has an upbeat atmosphere, great music and perfect Mexican decor. I wish I knew about this restaurant when I use to live in Calgary, but my boyfriend and I will definitely be back when we visit again! ”
“ One of the best spots for late-night tacos! Prices are great and the tacos hit the spot. The brisket and fish tacos are the best—definitely my go-to. Perfect place to chill and grab a bite after hours. ”
