Blanco Cocina + Cantina

Blanco Cocina + Cantina in Fashion Valley, San Diego, is a must-visit spot for any Mexican food lover! I recently had the pleasure of dining there, and I'm still dreaming about their amazing dishes. First off, their *Crunchy Sweet Potato Taco* is a game-changer. The combination of crispy taco shell, sweet potato, and fresh toppings is absolute perfection. And don't even get me started on their *Chicken Tinga Enchililadas* - the chicken is cooked to perfection, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. But it doesn't stop there! Their *Chips, Salsa, and Guacamole* are also top-notch. The chips are always fresh, and the salsa has just the right amount of spice. The guacamole is creamy and delicious, with a nice balance of flavors. The service at Blanco is also worth mentioning. The staff are f

Very relaxing atmosphere. Trendy and friendly. Food is ok comparing to very authentic Mexican food. For example the queso fundido can be much more tasty if they added chorizo. Plates are small so you can pretty much finish and don't have to pack. Located on 2nd floor with other restaurants. Very nice place to walk around and shopping also. Parking is very convenient at the parking structure across the restaurants.

Atmosphere and service are 5 stars but the portions are very small for the price point. Food was good but would not come back for the hiked prices. This pic is the avocado Caesar salad (it comes with more of the fried cotija croutons- I had just eaten them.) salad is $24 with skirt steak, $19 if you get the grilled chicken.

I was there on a Tuesday, which they had all day Happy Hour. They have a really good Happy Hour menu you can find on their website. I tried the chicken pastor and birria taco that were on the Happy Hour menu and they were bomb! The service was great and the food was very good. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Great experience at the bar..guided by Frank on a happy hour day (mon-fri 2-4 and Tuesdays, though it gets quite busy Tuesdays). I had a classic margarita which was delicious and the smash burger with fries which was so good! Normally get enchiladas or tacos but the burger did not disappoint. Franks service was great so give him a raise or whatever. He was attentive without being overbearing, made great suggestions, helpful and prompt.
