    Food was delicious, although we all found it a bit salty. Next time we will request the salt be adjusted if possible. Although chips were delicious but we felt on our refill it was just broken crumbs, not full chips.

    Ate there before late evening very pleasant. Christmas week was crazy, very loud, late seating, but service is spot on…food is Sonoran Mexican boring….ambience without loudness is very nice, but maybe more a hot spot for young people

    Blanco is a hidden jewel in Coronado. The prices are very reasonable and the food and service are outstanding. The staff is extremely professional and very kind. I highly cannot say enough kind things about our dinning experience. We are looking forward to our next visit, keep up the great work.

    The service was quite slow. The food was not good. Not sure of they are trying to be a fusion Mexican food but the combination of flavors was not right. I had the taquitos, and the grilled shrimp tacos. Not my thing.

    Best Mexican food we’ve had since moving to San Diego 4 years ago. Everything we’ve had (fajitas, enchiladas and tacos) were flavorful and abundant portions. The staff are polite and constantly checking to make sure you’re happy with your meal. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Great experience with excellent service and food. The manager went above and beyond to help my parents with something unrelated but nearby.

    We walked up and saw a line waiting to get in but we luckily had a reservation and were seated almost immediately. We received waters and were able to place our orders pretty quickly, but our food took a little bit to get to us. We weren’t in too much of a hurry, and the manager and waiter both came by to apologize for the delay which was nice. Overall the food was good. Margarita was pretty light on the tequila - it was alright - pretty expensive for what you get really. Chips and guacamole were excellent - though not really a fan of their house salsa personally (but others liked it). A fun little place to eat on Coronado Island. Great location. Cute atmosphere. A little pricey but overall good place.

    Had the vegetarian sweet potato bowl and it was amazing! The fusion of flavors is hard to be and the quality of food is excellent. Husband had fajitas and despite being a smaller portion he felt the quality and flavors were amazing and would order them again! The tres leches is potentially the best we’ve had! The service this time around was excellent- waiter friendly. Made mom feel special for her bday w a card, happy wishes and a nice desert! Planning to return
