Blanco is more than your typical Mexican restaurant, it‘s an escape from the ordinary, a happy hour hang out, a place to sit back, recharge and party. It’s a vacation in your neighborhood that helps you relax with your favorite people. For food, margaritas, and good times, Blanco is the perfect place to find your bliss.

What could be better than street-style tacos, premium tequila, and a panoramic view of the Tucson valley? Blanco in Tucson features a modern take on classic Mexican fare, such as our award-winning Slow-Cooked BBQ Pork Tacos, as well as signature drinks made with seasonal fruits like our Pomegranate Grapefruit Margarita!

This was our first visit & it won't be our last! The chicken bowl and the chicken chimi were great--very flavorful! Some places just cook the chicken & put it in the chimi, but this chicken was nicely spiced and delicious. The margarita was delicious as well. Our server was super nice and service was quick.

I would absolutely come back. My vegetarian sweet potato enchilada was outstanding. My table mates enjoyed their dinners as well. Service was inexplicably slow. Our server was sweet and apologetic, but we waited way too long for dinner. Thank you anyway.

We are disappointed to hear service was slow, this is not what we aim for. We are glad to hear you loved your food and appreciate the five-star review. We would love to discuss your visit in more detail and attempt to make up for the slow service. Blanco Management 520-232-1007

Best Friday night spot with sunsets and the perfect bowl of chips and salsa! Margaritas are just the right amount of sweet and the patio is warmed by heaters for comfort. Everything is on point!

Unfortunately the food came Luke warm at best and the crispy tacos tortillas were bad. Not what I was expecting from a Mexican restaurant in Tucson.
