Had a great experience at Blanco Cocina + Cantina in Oak Brook. The food was fresh and flavorful. The Tortilla Soup lacked some flavor though but I loved the salsa. The ambiance is modern and lively, making it a perfect spot for lunch with family. Definitely one of the best restaurants in the area.

I feel like this place can be a hit or miss. The first time I came here was earlier this year with my husband, and we LOVED the food. The Parmesan cheese crisp was delicious, the avocado tacos were beyond amazing and incredibly filling. Everything was great. Our second visit however, everything was awful. All the food tasted off/ not the same as before. We ordered the same menu items and still, our experience was just not that great. I really like the atmosphere at this restaurant but I wish their food tasted more consistent. I know some days are always better than others, but this tasted like 2 different recipes honestly. Disappointing.

My 5 year old and I love coming here! The food is super flavorful and quality. You truly cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. We have always had a great experience with the staff being friendly and approachable. Caesar is our favorite server!! My son insisted we give him 5 stars! Highly recommend you ask for him. Not to mention the atmosphere and aesthetic are a bonus here.

We were seated immediately, even though it was a Saturday evening. The staff was really friendly. The food was amazing! That street corn was the best I’ve had, definitely recommend trying it!

I wish I could give this place zero stars. This was honestly the worst restaurant experience I’ve had in Illinois. If you’re Black, I would strongly recommend avoiding this place—I felt from the beginning that we were not treated with the same respect or care as other customers. The manager’s attitude came across as passive-aggressive, and at times, her behavior felt racially insensitive.
We ordered birria tacos, which came out extremely burnt, and I found hair in my food. When I reported it, the manager asked to see the hair, as if I was lying. We decided to exchange the food for another option, but in hindsight, we should have left. The replacement meal came out, and my friend found hair in her burger as well. Before the food even arrived, the manager made a sarcastic comment like, “Let me move these utensils since there’s hair floating around,” which felt dismissive and unprofessional.
Our waiter barely checked on us and avoided our table like he didn’t want to deal with us at all. The whole experience was unprofessional and uncomfortable. And for the record—stop assuming Black customers don’t have money or don’t tip. Even after all of this, I still tipped the waiter, though he didn’t deserve it.
The food wasn’t good either. The corn tasted like it was drenched in straight lime juice. Overall, I do not recommend this restaurant. Save your money and your time.
Ill share the picture of the food so you can see how appealing it looks I wouldn’t have served this to anyone.

Stopped in for lunch at Oakbrook Terrace location on a whim, and it was outstanding! We were pleasantly surprised at how unique the menu options were. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive. The food was fresh and delicious! Although the margaritas were on the smaller side, they packed a punch with outstanding flavors. We will definitely return on our next trip to Chicago!

My wife and I went out for Valentine’s day (the night before) for the first time. Food was great and the frozen margaritas were good, although they were on the small side. Decor was good and overall vibe was solid. Sophia was out server and she was amazing and did a great job too.
Only downsides I can think of outside of the drinks being a bit small was the music didn’t really seem to fit the restaurant and the food was a bit on the pricey side for Mexican food though not totally unexpected for Oak.Brook

My friends RAVED about this place and said they go often. I wanted Mexican food and was excited because they are in Arizona and they brought over the Cheese Crisp so my first thought was ‘this should be legit!’
I was sadden.
First the chips are seasoned perfectly! The salsa has a nice spice to it that the combo was amazing!!
I ordered Chicken Tinga Tacos the same was it comes in a cheese crisp, with rice.
My friend ordered the enchiladas with a piece of grilled chicken on top and my other friend ordered ground beef tacos with fresh fries.
I was so excited for my tacos. When my plate came I was so excited to see the juicy tacos, but then I looked at the rice. I’m sorry but who has buttered white rice with corn and cilantro at a Mexican restaurant?
I took a bit off my tacos and thought they were ok, I give them a 7.5 for juicy and the tortilla being nice and fluffy! I give the rice a 2.1 ONLY because I tried it with my friend’s grilled chicken and that could be a meal.
My friend loved his enchilada and my other friend enjoyed her tacos.
I might go back to try something else, but probably because someone else wants to go.
Parking is really bad since it’s at the mall. I parked closer to Neiman’s towards the road.

Great customer service. Greeted well by the front desk. Margaritas were excellent. Had Jalapeño & Pineapple and the Spicy Skinny margs . Dinner was delicious. Ordered Cheese Crisps Roasted Poblano Chile & Tomato and Vegetarian Carmalized Sweet Potato enchiladas. Got seated on time at our reserved time. Our server Ondreaonna was courteous. Highly recommended.

Vibes were solid—cool decor, bumpin’ music, and a good crowd. Dropped about $40 on tacos, chips & guac, and a spicy marg. Food was fresh, birria was juicy, shrimp had a nice kick. Drinks were strong but a bit pricey. Service was chill but kinda slow at times. Not my go-to for lowkey tacos, but def a fun spot if you’re lookin’ for a lively night with good eats.
