Blanco Cocina + Cantina

Great meal - attentive service. Would absolutely dine again. Recommend the short rib tostada and the grilled mahi tacos!Free birthday dessert a nice treat. It's is a little noisy - but we ate on the dog friendly patio

Husband and I had just two nights to enjoy Coronado, and we dined at Blanco for one of them. You know it is a good place when it is packed. All the screens had the Olympics on, though at some point switched to a Padres game. Service was excellent. Several servers were circulating in the bar and were very friendly. Olivia served us once we sat down and she was tremendous. She was just the right degree of attentive, and in spite of a packed house on a Friday night, our food came out perfectly and promptly. Our meals were delicious! I had the Tulsa chimichanga, enchilada style and husband had fajitas. All was great, and the guacamole was fabulous. Tall pina coladas made with dark rum also totally hit the spot. We would go here regularly if this were home, but sadly, we had to return to real life, and mediocre Mexican food the next day.

Service=excellent; ambiance=trendy, cool, always nice to have new things; price=fair?; food: they come out with salsa and chips-hubby mentioned it was so salty...hmmm...he's not a critique either. I think I may be rubbing off on him but I too thought it was super salty and I am usually the one pouring salt on everything.Hubby's order: chicken enchilada, he liked it as he always does with enchiladas but thought it was too salty; Son's order=carne asada tacos, he ate it all but didn't seem super ecstatic about it, again thought it was too salty too; my order pork chile verde(?) bowl: good taste BUT again salty, for the price, they could have put more meat, the bowl was more greens, rice and beans and a sprinkle of pork. I do have to say the charro beans are really good.I would try them again to see if it was just a fluke night where everything was salty. We're locals so I hope they improve but otherwise I'll stick to Night and Day for my Mexican food. *Sorry I thought I pictured my bowl but it turned out blurry.

New Blanco is Coronado is nice and spacious and in the middle of all the action !! Was part of the pre-opening dining experience and the service really was exemplary - Very friendly and inviting. That was the highlight of the experience in reality... The food was more hit and miss overall. Loved the cheese crisps which was my fav. The sweet potato veg bowl was decent but could have been way better in terms of flavors and texture.

This is a new hot spot in Coronado!Here's my food recommendations:- BBQ pork & roasted corn cheese crisp - You will not be disappointed PROMISE!- Guacamole - fresh!- Nachos con queso blanco - enough to feed 2-3 people - Frozen grapefruit paloma - super refreshing!- Surf & turf Fajita plate - amazing! The meat marinade was so flavorful and perfectly cooked/ Shrimp was tender as well- Brown sugar caramel flan - WOW!!!The value was great overall. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. The establishment is expansive, and the ambiance is incredibly aesthetically pleasing. Located just steps away from Coronado Beach, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will certainly return with more friends.Bookmark this spot if you're in Coronado!

Execution perfection! Blanco Cocina had just recently opened within weeks of our visit but the way they have executed their delivery makes it seem as if they've been there for so much longer! No hiccups no issues everything was perfect from the hostesses treating you out front to the servers and management visiting throughout the visit. The menu is a boogie Mexican inspired menu with normal items turned up! I ordered the breakfast burrito and added asada to it and was very happy with the choice! It was similar to a California burrito but made breakfast with the eggs! The charro beans had the perfect flavor balance after being cooked in bacon fat! The vibe was very open friendly and upbeat so it's a great place to start your day and feed your belly!

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Shrimp tacos were ok. Ive had some better ones. Restaurant vibes were relaxed and chill. Our waiter was great and that's worth an extra star!

Visited this New Mexican restaurant and was not disappointed. Ambiance was very fun and the bar is in the center of the action. The noise level is loud in that area. But as long as you know that. Lots of people. Concrete floors and ceilings doesn't damper the noise well. But it's fun. The menu has a diverse selections. You won't find "combo platters" here. I had the Machata enchiladas. They were delicious. Their salsa is the bomb. And the rice was the best I've had! We had a cocktail and I ordered their traditional margarita with Mezcal. It was delicious! Their tequila selection is quite large and they have tastings available. Why a 4? Well where we sat at a table near the front had a speaker about 3 feet above her head and it was very loud to talk over. Also our seats had a AC vent above us and waster/condensation was dripping on our personal items (which we moved) and the lady next to us was getting drops on her back. Need to figure that out. Was told it was also happening near the front by the customer next to us. Lastly, super small item, but when the drinks come there should be cocktail napkins. Mostly ice drinks that condensate and drop every time you bring them up to your mouth. I asked for a cocktail napkin for us but was brought brown paper towels like you'd get from a bathroom or sink dispenser. Not very classy. Our server was great and manager stopped by to check on everyone. Service seemed excellent. Will definitely be back again. They also have a more limited menu for to go at the window.

Delicious Mahi tacos and a cold Pacifico. Can't go wrong...although I wish I could've tried their tamales, but they were out so I just had the tacos. Which I finished! If I would've had them tamales too then I wouldn't have finished my tacos! LolThe carne asada tacos are good here too!!! Staff seems nice, my server was a nice young lady with a beautiful smile:)Definitely felt welcome. I'll be back!

Didn't know but we crashed their soft opening! Emma at the door with the awesome Scottish accent was so welcoming! We sat at the bar with Maddison and Cassie helping us! Both were very attentive and provided great suggestions! Cristina was over seeing the drinks and they came out awesome! A couple of margaritas that were great! The shrimp ceviche was out of this world! Wife had the tiger shrimp fajitas with chipotle sauce, I had the beef short rib chimichanga. They were both incredible! Arturo came out to check on us! Place is nothing short of awesome! Please go by and give the great restaurant your business! Thank me later! Enjoy!!!
