Blanco’s serves up flavorful Sonoran style Mexican food. It’s on the pricier side, but I found the quality of food and the service to make up for it. The restaurant has a cool desert vibe with an upscale Hispanic flair and a wonderful patio. We started with cocktails and an order of the queso with seasoned beef and it was amazing. For my lunch entree I enjoyed the beef chimichanga with rice and beans. The food was excellent and everything was flavorful. There were other items on the menu that looked good, and seeing different plates go by I would definitely be back to try other options.

I assume this is a more upscale version of Blancos, and I must say the restaurant design is beautiful. They have fresh seafood / raw bar options you won't see at other Blanco locations. I tried the ahi tuna tacos that were very tasty. The tuna is mixed with a sweet pineapple salsa that gives it a unique taste. Will definitely order them again. Also had the tortilla soup that was really good.

We heard about the new Fox restaurant online and had to give it a try. Sam Fox has so many delicious restaurants around the valley that its to your benefit to try all of them. Blanco Cocina did not disappoint. The restaurant is new and situated in an up and coming Plaza in Paradise Valley. The interior decor is dark but elegant. At the heart of the restaurant is a room containing a 360-degree bar. The patio area is vast and overlooked the nearby grass where outdoor concerts can be watched in the distance. I followed our waiters recommendation and ordered the Short Ribs. They were delicious, tender, and flavorful. The Thres Leche desert was heavenly. Our waiter and the supporting staff were very attentive. They checked on us multiple times throughout the course of our meal. I haven't been to the other Blanco restaurants. It's my understanding that this is an upscale experience, and it safely delivered. We will be back.

This stylish, comfortable fine-ish dining restaurant is a welcome addition to the vast, redeveloping Paradise Valley Mall acreage. The restaurant itself is vast, with a large, low-lit dining room with lots of wood and open-beamed ceiling, a rectangular bar (our favorite kind) with ample bar seating, and sprawling al fresconess. The menu offers an upscale variety of South-of-the-Border-ish and TexMex-ish fare, along with ceviche and a raw bar, and even some mains that seem more North-of-the-Border (and North-of-Texas too). And again: upscale. I really enjoyed the Seabass Veracruz and Sarah loved the Avocado Caesar with chicken (based on a true South-of-the-Border dish), and the service was excellent. We were pleased with the short but well-priced wine list. But if you are looking for tequila, look no further. The selection is, again, vast. We will probably be regular diners at the bar.
