this place is a pretty high end taco joint. however, on the friday night we were there, the food was just ordinary and the portions were small and relatively expensive. also the noise was incredible! this is probably a great place for margaritas and maybe a snack, but at least on a friday night, not for a good meal.

I eat here two or three times a year and always enjoy their upscale take on Mexican food. Blanco uses fresh and quality ingredients and has generous servings. I do not enjoy the high noise level, crowded tables and crazy pace of rushing staff. And yet, I go back. More

We really enjoyed this restaurant. We were seated within 10min on a busy saturday night. Our meals were fantastic. I had the fish tacos and my husband had pork enchiladas. The guacamole is great. Our server was excellent and efficient. Of note, I had the peach hibiscus margarita and it was amazing. More

The food here is great, but the sangria and margaritas are the BEST! They are made with fresh juices and they will give you tastes. Happy hour is the best value and the patio views are amazing! More

This place is always crowded so we gave it a try.Understanding it was busy,it was hard to get attention to order and even harder to get a check.People remember a happy ending.The food was great. The taquitos and the salads were very delicious. Would consider going there again for the food but not on a weeknight. More

On a trip to Tucson, Blanco Taco and Tequila was recommended to us. We went on a Friday night and though there was a wait, it went quickly. The food was not your run of the mill mexican food. It was a little more upscale and very delicious. The guacamole was freshly made and wonderful. The portion sizes were plentiful.... More

A hopping local restaurant on the side of a hill at the base of the Catalina Mountains...loved the atmosphere and the food. Large patio area is said to have the best view of the Tucson area. More

No, not the state. But a new take on Mexican food. Lighter, no lard, but great flavor instead! More

On our vacation to Tucson, we dined several times at Blanco, which is owned by Fox Restaurant Concepts. It was recommended to us by friends who live in Tucson and we were not disapointed. The location at the Shops at Encantada is rockin'! Great location for lunch or dinner while shopping in this high-end, open-air mall. The food is a... More
