Had a great lunch, the staff are friendly, the room inviting in a cantina sort of way. I had the chicken Quesadilla, it was perfect, would have it again, no questions. I love the patio in the summer time, but in the winter its a great warm room to enjoy.
I have been back many times over the summer and fall for just an afternoon off with a couple of cocktails or a quick dinner sit down on the patio to people watch.
SUMMERTIME, PATIO TIME, COCKTAILS. . . YES . . .
Came here Canada day weekend and wowza, we must’ve waited 1.5h for our food. Luckily, the party-like atmosphere, awesome wait staff and smashing margaritas made up for it! I particularly enjoyed the mushroom burrito and the white peach marg. Aaaaaarrrrrrrriba!
Chili coconut margarita is amazing!! I keep coming back for the tacos and margaritas. Love this place. Thank you to all the friendly staff I have met.
A good spot for casual Tex-Mex food. It does not serve authentic Mexican food so the food tastes exactly as we expect for what it is. 4/5 stars in the context of it being a better than average tex-mex restaurant. Very consistent food and service. Have tried all menu items & they taste somewhat redundant, but the fajitas standout. They make great caesar's & some tasty margaritas. Staff are efficient, friendly & easy-going. Fun, casual spot that we find very reliable.
Best Taco Tuesday in Calgary by far!
We go there pretty often and everything from service to food is pretty fantastic.
Lots of sauces on the side too. Love!
We didn’t come for food but drinks.....mainly margaritas. And they were great!!!! The chili coconut is not for the faint of heart. It’s got a kick to it. Not a lingering after taste. Just a quick burn and then gone....
The Cadillac margarita is delicious. The mixture is very citrus driven but not overpowering. A perfect balance of taste and effect. Highly recommend coming here.
Five of us gathered to catch up and celebrate life. Indeed, the cantina is a lively place on a Saturday evening. Greeted and seated, our drink orders were taken. Lots of beers, wines and cocktails from which to choose. For food, we went with various tacos and burritos. All were tasty. Service was good. Great atmosphere. Any complaints were of an old guy sort - it was difficult to chat over the noise. Cheers.
Outstanding service from the hostess and ambiance is great! Food is exceptional = we ordered a large plate of nachos and a mixed variety of tacos! The hot sauce variety is great - although an area of improvement is the portions of guac and salsa that are served to the table lol. Maybe Im just a hungry man but why do restaurants always get stingy on the dipping sauce? Other than that Blanco Cantina is the place to be on date night!
Legit had their wings for the first time (teriyaki hot I think) and they were the best wings I have had downtown! Also, their nachos were amazing too. The only issue is that its a little pricey and I find the atmosphere a little depressing.
BEST nachos in the city. I could come here every day and never get tired of them. I mean, allowing me to pick what I want and two kinds of jalapeños? Um, yes, this place is heaven to me.
Recently I've ordered the grilled fish tacos two times, which comes on a sizzling plate and I can't even. I will share when I get full but if I don't then no one is getting a taste of them. These are bomb. The fish is flakey and the onions underneath have a pretty good heat to them, paired with the rice and guacamole as your sides, you can't go wrong. The house made hot sauce is so good too, and it does add a fair amount of heat.
Watermelon marg's yes.
My only suggestion would be to bring the guava marg's over from Anejo.
I LOVE this place.
