                                                            We dine at Blanco every few weeks. A few weeks ago, our meals were overly salty so I commented on that in our review. The manager promptly contacted me to apologize and ask us to give then another chance to impress. We dined there again last night and it was great. We were quickly greeted and seated. Our server Hailey (sp?) provided attentive, friendly service. Among us, we ordered the shrimp tacos (love the slaw!), carne asada fajitas (yum), and mahi tacos (large chunks of moist grilled fish), along with a side of always-good guac. Clearly, whatever issue we encountered last time had been corrected--what a nice surprise. Atmosphere is lively but can still have a conversation. I noticed that the backbar workers and kitchen folks seemed to work as a lively, well-oiled machine. We will be back!
