Came for taco Tuesday and it’s a great deal 7.50 for 3 tacos!. The food is pretty good and they have a huge selection of hot sauces. It did take a lot of time for the order to come but I understand that their always crazy busy. Make sure you’re not even a minute late for your reservation since they’ll just cross your name off the list I came five minutes late, even left them a voicemail stating I’d be late but I guess they didn’t listen to it. Overall, a great place for taco Tuesday!!
The Blanco Cantina is in a good location and the atmosphere is warm and vibrant. There are lots of colorful decoration, lights, and televisions. Everything feels welcoming from the bar to the wooden stools. The people are very friendly and give exceptional customer service. They make sure to make room for everyone whether it is someone with a reservation or a spontaneous walk-in. They are happy to answer questions and food comes out quickly. The food was very tasty. It had all the savory and spice that I look for in mexican cuisine and the side dishes/condiments are freshly made. I enjoyed the meal very much. Sadly, this was docked two stars because it is overly expensive for what you get and when I ordered the special, it is not made clear that what comes with it still costs it's regular price. It is clear that there is a lack of communication, if not false advertising. Please let the people know this!
Had a great afternoon here during happy hour! The margaritas were so good! Pineapple without the Smokey flavour was my favourite, after the Classic. We had tacos, too, but they got eaten too fast to snap a picture!
Looking for Mexican food, this place has got most of the Mexican flavours. I went at the happy hour on Friday night and the place was crowded but we got the seat with unlimited free nachos. Food was good and drinks loved raspberry slushberg Mocktailwere good too, they also have veggie and non veg options both though I couldn’t find any dishes for eggs. Overall good place to go in Calgary. They served yummy Fajitas and loved Mexican Street corn and the Margarita. Nice ambience, friendly staff and good food at a good price.
The food was decent, it is definitely worth it coming for taco Tuesday. I enjoyed the DIY aspect of building the fish tacos fajita style as I don’t eat tacos often, so that was fun. I absolutely loved the slightly spicy mayo sauce. The portions were great and the gauc for the nachos were delicious, although it would’ve been a lot better if they could spread the nacho seasoning out evenly. Overall, I would come again.
Went here on a Tuesday night, we waited 20 mins to be seated, which was not too bad. The food was amazing at 50% off. Will definitely come back for another Tacos Tuesday.
Came here twice over the last 2 weeks because it was so good! They play such good music on Saturday nights, it’s a very nice ambiance. They have half price tequila and tacos after 9pm which is amazing! I like the watermelon margarita and the wings are super delicious too.
We were visiting Calgary for work and had the pleasure of walking by Blanco by accident - and we could not have been happier to find this gem! Margarita Monday was a steal, and every flavour we tried was SO GOOD. My personal favourite was the chili coconut! Their tacos were absolutely INSANE So so good - definitely work adding on the cotija cheese we got it on the side - the portion was awesome for the price! 100% chance I will be back next visit to YYC!
Went for taco Tuesday and the vibe was good. Had to put my name on a wait list. But it wasn't too bad. Once we got in and sat down, we ordered tacos and drinks. It all came pretty quickly and the staff were awesome and fun. I had fish, beef, pork and shrimp tacos. Next time I would only get the shrimp. The other ones pretty much all rated a 5-6/10 the shrimp was more like a 7.5/10.
The food was excellent and loved the spicy coco chilli margarita. The waitress made us feel super welcome and suggested the best bites to go along with the drinks. Must visit if you're in downtown Calgary. We made no reservations but i would recommend that you do coz it's a hot spot. Outdoor seating is available but we chose to side inside as it was sunny out. Loved the ambience and music wasn't too loud.
