WOW! i LOVE burgers and picked up a Groupon for this place about 5 months ago and finally got around to using it tonight (since it expires next week). The Hostess and Waiter was really nice and friendly, explaining all of the specials, the happy hour, and the YAPPY hour where you can bring your dog with you to eat on the patio. They also had a very large bar and selection of alchohol but i didn't get anything. I skipped the prebuilt burgers and built my own 2/3 lbs (after cooking). The add-on choices were great, and the spicy sour cream was amazing! The Sweet Potato fries were also amazing and came with dipping sauce that tasted like melted marshmallows. We also got a side of the cheesy cheddar fries and loved them. Overall, this place is great, high quality foods and toppings and a great staff. the prices seemed a little high when ordering but after we ate i didn't feel that way and plan on going back again soon!

The best way to describe Blanco Tacos without the risk of insult is to say it is a white boys Mexican restaurant. The food was lacking in flavor and very dry. We started with the Nachos con queso with short ribs, and the meat was tasty, but everything was wrong. There was no sauce on it only black beans, chunks of bland cheese pretending to be crema fresca, and a few cubes of avocados. Two minutes after the Nachos arrived our entrees were delivered. I ordered the tacos believing if it's in the name of the restaurant they must be good, boy was I wrong. I ordered two traditional carnitas tacos, and one crispy shrimp taco. I had to doctor up both versions by adding tomatillo salsa and limes. The carnitas was very bland and lukewarm. Rubio's had a much better discontinued carnitas taco. The crispy shrimp taco wasn't crispy at all, it tasted like reheated frozen shrimp you buy at a grocery store. It came with pickled onions and Fresno chili, both flavorless. And sadly on the way home the shrimp wanted one last chance at freedom and erupted all over the side of the road. My boyfriend ordered the Green Chili Pork burrito enchilada style (smothered in green sauce, which oddly enough wasn't even green) he wasn't impressed at all with the overall appearance/taste/experience. Not to mention, the rice is actually a sweet corn rice mix which they failed to list on the menu, and the Charro beans tasted like dirt. I gave them One last chance to seduce me by ordering the sopapillas with local honey. Sadly, they were dense and stacked like a dessert jenga, so you have to use your fingers to catch them as they topple over with every try. In my opinion I would bypass this restaurant and go to Filibertos, it's honestly much more of a decent Mexican restaurant then Blancos will ever be.

So my husband and I come to native on Gilbert rd. to sing karaoke when some host I've never seen before, frank tha tank, decides to tell me before I get given the mic that even tho his books show the song I wanted , she hates me, by puddle of Mudd, that singing the "f" word is not allowed really??! Im pretty sure I live in america and have free speech , I refused to be censored'. Then I give the mic back and say I won't sing my song if he's gonna monitor my words that literally are part of the song So get this.... frank tha tank, sings the next song about , baby got back, totally chauvinist and if I wanted to I could act severely offended by that song but I don't because I'm not a controlling person who wants to censor songs and singers on a sat night after 11 pm no kids present. this is no different than the pharmacists who decide to not fill birth control pills to teens that are responsible enough to get a scripts from there doctor so as not to get pregnant - but the pharmacists take on a "moral role" and decide they will determine what is right or wrong. its not there place to do so and neither is it franks - especially when the songs are listed in the book and those words on are on the screen. i mean what are people to do when they want to sing Eminem songs for god sake??? this is why he is having a hard time getting singers.

When this place first opened, I used to frequent often. The food is good, the prices for lunch are even better, and the service used to be really great. The location is very small to start with, few tables, and a few bar seats and that is it. The last two times I've gone in before todays visit, its been super long waits just to get an order in, to get your drink refilled is next to impossible, but the food does come quick once ordered. I guess because they are so busy they have lost it in customer service. It took me twenty minutes to flag a waitress down just to pay my check on the previous visit, which is why I havnet been back for sometime. I went today and waited 10 minutes before a hostess would even make eye contact or ask how many in my party, then told me it would be about 15 to 20 more minutes to get seated. I left being that I'm on my lunch hour and all. I'm frustrated with the lack of service they have here. I told myself I wouldn't be coming here any time soon the last time I went and now I will definately not go back to this place at all, the food is not superb or anything its just good, but not worth the wait or frustration.
