Enchilada Heaven right here in Scottsdale

I’ve found it. Enchilada Heaven. It’s been right under my nose and I never even suspected it. Blanco Tacos + Tequila on Scottsdale Rd. puts a modern spin on traditional Mexican and Southwestern food.

I drove by Blanco the other day. The bright blue umbrellas over the patio tables caught my eye. They look so fun, like they’re saying, “Hey! The beach is right over here!” I found myself wishing I had time to stop. Not today though, too busy as usual. Secretly, I was glad for the excuse to keep going. Blanco is one of my favorite Tucson restaurants and to tell you the truth, I have been afraid to try the Blanco Tacos + Tequila that opened here in Scottsdale. What if it isn’t as good as the one in Tucson? Can’t live up to expectations? So, I just on drive by.
Yesterday, after an incredibly long and hectic couple of months, I decided I had to get away. You know, like that Pina Colada song. So, I called my husband and told him to meet me at Blanco to “plan our escape.” He was even more reluctant to try Blanco than I was, but for different reasons. He’s not a fan of “modern” Mexican food. He’s an old school, Mexican food lover. You know, the “brown, hot and plenty of it” kind that’s not really authentic Mexican at all, it’s more of a Southwestern border invention. Pleasing both of us could be impossible.
