Blanco Cocina + Cantina

This place was great, ordered food at the bar and the bartender was very clear about what was GF. She understood celiac disease and made a note for the kitchen.

I went on a Sunday and it was very busy.

What a wonderful experience. We made reservations using Open Table where I’m identified as gf. We were greeted by the hostess who immediately asked about my needs. It made me comfortable from the start. The waiter was very knowledgeable. Told me chips were cooked in a separate fryer and they were delicious. He told me they could alter some of the menu items to be gf but I played it safe and had carne asada soft tacos which were great. Great downtown vibe. Will definitely go back.

Wow! Fantastic food!! Went for happy hour and had queso and tacos. Best tacos we’ve had, and we’re from Texas. Highly recommend.

We visited last week. My husband follows Celiac diet. The waitress was very accommodating, double checking the chips safety, aware of risk of cross contamination, even the person directing us to the table was very aware of gluten allergy and precautions. No symptoms at all after eating!

Been to two different locations and had a great experience both times. Most items can be made gluten free and the servers will make a note for celiac/allergy. Make sure to ask for gluten free chips too!

Excellent food. Server was very knowledgeable about GF options and explained that tortilla chips have a dedicated fryer. The best corn tortillas I have ever had.

Met the chef for the day he assured me they handle the food using trained protocols and he made me feel good about eating there.

I had the pork chili Verde enchiladas with back beans and rice. I also had chips, salsa and queso dip. I tested all with NIMA.

We will definitely be going back again! So dang good!

Very good experience! Staff was friendly and aware of allergies. The best strawberry margaritas! I had shrimp tacos and they were delicious, and no symptoms afterwards. Only minus that I could think of is that it was quite noisy out there, but that’s a minor detail when the food is so good! :)

Came for dinner during happy hour and it was an amazing experience. Margaritas and some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. Their sangria is filled with fresh fruit and is delicious. Server was very knowledgeable, both about gluten and dairy. Rice is cooked with butter, and other than that it is easy to figure out what can be eaten. Wish we lived closer!

Great experience! Gluten free chips from a separate fryer. Server was extremely knowledgeable and able to give recommendations for what would be 1. The most safe and 2. The most delicious.

We got the mango shrimp ceviche, queso and split an order of the mahi tacos and shrimp tacos. Could not have been happier with our meal.

Also the frozen grapefruit paloma was sooooo good and a rec from our server.

Celiac safe…the staff are extremely knowledgeable although GF not designated on menu. Kitchen staff change gloves, separate fryer so chips are safe, homemade corn tortillas safe. I have eaten here multiple times and never gotten sick. The food is excellent.

The tacos and the chips and salsa were sooo good! The staff was very knowledgeable on multiple occasions and I have never had a problem. I am a sensitive celiac and it can be scary not going to a fully gluten free restaurant but Blancos is a trusted place for me!

Was really hopeful on previous reviews, but our waitress had an attitude. Told us nothing was gluten free (shared fryer) then checked with someone else at the bar right in front of us and said she could enter it in the system, but I was not confident in anything. Ended up having a bowl and not the chips.

I felt safe here! The host, server, and manager were all helpful and knowledgeable and gluten and cross contact. The chips are safe, the tacos were so dang delicious, and the service was amazing. I waited a day to make sure I still feel good, and I feel great today as well. So I feel like I was served safely with no cross contact.

I’ve gone here twice now for dinner and haven’t had any issues. The first night I ordered the pork tacos, really good! I told the waitress I had a gluten allergy when ordering, she just paused, thought about it, and said “ok”. The second time I had the pork enchiladas, also good, but the tacos were much better. Corn tortillas for both. The blood orange and pomegranate frozen margarita was delicious. I had a glass that was super messy and sticky on the outside and I asked for an additional napkin just to clean it up. The ended up making me a whole new drink! Great food, nice atmosphere and super awesome staff. Would go back. Nothing marked “gf” on the menu.

The wait staff were very familiar and remembered that I mentioned I was celiac from when I sat down to ordering and asked if my whole party was celiac. Or just me. They double checked, and the chips were made in a dedicated fryer.
