First time here was last night as I was here performing for a group of execs downstairs. The place seemed to have a nice vibe - it definitely looked like a Fox style restaurant in terms of the way the kitchen looked and the Urban feel.
I ordered the Chicken Mole and Holy Mole was it yummy! To be honest I was NOT expecting it to be nearly as off the hook delicious as it turned out. Frankly I expected something quite ordinary which is standard fare for most small chains.
But no, this Mole was deep and complex - and certainly reminded me of some of the best Mole restaurants I've been to.
Making a good Mole is a huge pain - a laundry list of ingredients and slow cooking times. The chicken itself was butter tender, with mostly dark meat and no bones to speak of... just heaven on a fork with flavors of exotic spices, cinnamon, chocolate and many more all mingling together to create a 5 star Mole experience (my opinion). Yes there was a little heat, but just enough kick to know it was there and not a drop more... perfect!
The side dish was a kind of brown rice, and a vegie mix - excellent as well.
The serving staff was outstanding as well - especially JORDAN and Emma. Very positive, attentive, friendly and accommodating.
I will 100% be coming back here - Blanco Tacos exceeds expectations and I can't wait to try some of their other dishes. This place is great.
