    Our dinner came out to quick. We were in and out in 50 minutes. Too quick. No time to relax.
    Blanco Cocina + Cantina - NashvilleResponded 3 days ago
    Thank you Kathleen! Apologies for the speed of service, I know we can move fast on busy nights and overlook those that aren't in a hurry and that is definitely feedback we can share with the team to ensure our guests that are looking to enjoy their time with us and dine are given the time they want. Appreciate the review and you taking the time to join us, with hopes we can have you back soon!

    I have been to Blanco many times before and love the food and margaritas! My friend and I came before a concert at Bridgestone and were sitting for about 10 minutes before a server came to greet us. We ordered margaritas then and it took 20+ min for them. About 30-40 min after sitting there, our server comes back around and we ordered our food. We waited and waited and waited…. At this point, we had been at the restaurant for over an hour with no food. Our server comes by to say “there was a glitch in her mind” about where we were sitting and she had never put our food order in. About 10-15 minutes after her saying this, someone comes out and brings us the wrong food. She had put the order in wrong…… at the hour and a half mark…. We finally get our food, with the smallest portions I had ever seen! After sitting at blanco for over an hour and a half…… we finally had eaten and ran as fast as we could over to our concert! I used to love this place, but I’m certainly not in a rush to return…..ugh!

    We enjoyed our dinner last night at Blanco Cocina.The beef crispy tocos were delicious.The carne asada fajitas were the best my spouse ever had! He actually continued to cook his jalapeños on the hot plate! The watermelon margaritas were delish! Our waitress named Mercy was delightful.I highly recommend a stop when in Nashville,TN.

    We all enjoyed our dinner and drinks. Serenity took great care of us and everyone enjoyed all of our dips and entrees. My husband said the short rib burrito was one of the best burritos he has ever had.

    This has become one of our regular stops before a Predators game. I have probably eaten there a dozen times or more and normally get the crunchy beef tacos. Last night something was different about the taco shells. One of mine was so hard to chew I thought I would break a tooth. The other one was better but was still not like they have been in the past. My wife had the same order also and noticed her shells seemed harder to chew also. They were definitely not like the crunchy shells we are use to there. I did get another taco after letting our server know that one of the tacos was not edible and eventually a manager comped our meals which I do appreciate. I even tried breaking the shell with a fork by stabbing it and it would not even crack. I don’t know what has changed about the crunchy shells but I will not order them again and that is a shame because they were my favorite thing there.

    Kevin, thank you for the detailed review here! I will reach out personally about this but always very happy for our guests to bring these things to our attention so we can follow up and ensure we are doing right by our guests. I've brought this review to my Chef's attention and something we are looking into daily and ensuring this doesn't happen in the future. Beyond that thank you for being a continued loyal guest with us and with hopes we can have you back soon and with the dish you so enjoy made the right way and to your likings!
