| - I'm SO freaking bummed this place isn't in LA.
We were in Scottsdale for my fiancé's conference and needed some food the night before we left. After much debate and not a lot of help from Yelp's "nearby", we decided to grab whatever was closest to a Starbucks we went to get coffee at. This turned out to be Blanco.
SADLY (I'M SO BUMMED) we had our Shiba pup with us and couldn't leave him alone in the hotel room-think apocalypse except with more teeth marks-so we had to order to-go which meant... no margaritas... no margaritas....... :( I even tried to DoorDash it since they sometimes Dash alcohol! No luck.
We were starving so we ordered over the phone: one carne asada burrito enchilada style, one green chile pork enchilada, one red chile chicken cheese crisp, and an order of their street corn.
Upon entering, the hostesses were friendly and directed me to the bar to pay and pick-up my order. I was honestly super lost because the bar was in the center of the restaurant, near where the food was coming out, and it looked like everyone there was busy making drinks and not organizing take out. I kept looking around and looking around like an idiot and finally a guy (maybe the manager?) asked if I needed help. YES PLEASE. He helped me get my bill paid for.
The two of us split everything and it was a ton of food. The street corn was soooo good, and I'm totally making it at home now.
The cheese crisp is basically a pizza on a tortilla. It had cilantro, onion, tomatoes, poblano, and shredded red chile chicken. No complaints here except it was a little cold by the time we got back to our room.
The enchilada came with a side of rice and beans (charro), and the beans may be the most delicious pinto beans I've ever had. They taste slightly meaty which was amazing mixed into the rice. The pork in the enchilada was super tender and slightly fatty, definitely a nice roasted pork shoulder.
The burrito was pretty darn good too. The carne asada was hearty, was in fairly big pieces, and tasted like really fresh, quality meat. A lot of Mexican places nearby chop up the asada so small it falls out all over the place and is over-seasoned with lime. This asada was on point.
The order also came with super crispy chips and salsa!
Gosh I'm so bummed, I'm in love with this place already and I haven't even had a margarita... Oh and the dog loved the beans and rice too.
