Blanco at La Encantada

         
    Hello there, today I'm going write about another Mexican restaurant called Blanco Tacos and Tequila, located at the La Encantada shopping area. First, I went to the ‘snowfall’ at La Encantada, taking place on the weekends before Christmas. The ‘snow’ was amazing, until it started melting. I expected it to not melt, but that’s not likely here in Tucson. I also figured to the secret to the ‘snow’: soap! Water and soap is what they used. Hang out near the big Christmas tree to see it!
    After that we went to the restaurant, Blanco. The wait was a bit long, but not surprising since a lot of people were there for the snowfall. They text you on your phone to let you know when your table is ready.  We sat down as our server brought us chips and salsa. They had one mild and one spicy (Red one mild, Green one spicy), and the chips were warm. We ordered the appetizer of cheese crisp with guacamole. It didn’t come out quite like I expected, all the guac was balled up in the middle. Although good, the guac was a bit spicy.
I ordered the chicken tacos from the kids’ menu, which also were not what I expected, as they were mostly chicken rather than a mix of everything. They tasted fine, but needed a few more toppings. They had good veggie choices, but you need to tell the server you’re vegetarian or else you’ll get rice made with chicken stock.
We also stopped by The Core, a new physical exercise and wellness center just opened by TMC. Free tennis ball! Plus, they had some cool equipment - jump ropes, weights, yoga balls - and they asked me what I think kids would like to see there. Very cool! If you have your own ideas about what to do there, go and tell them.
