Best Casual Restaurants in Tempe

Excellent atmosphere to entertain clients or family

The food and service was really good. The hostess accommodated our request for a booth too. The noise level was a little high when it was packed for happy hour but it was nice with the music selection after it emptied out a bit. Overall, enjoyed it all.

Loved the Colorado dip and the mole dish! We loved reviewing their drink menu, everything we had was different but delicious. All of the staff were polite, nice and were happy to see our puppy. **DO NOT SKIP Dessert!!** Get the tres leches carrot cake!!! it’s a hefty portion for 2 people and so WORTH IT!! We will definitely be back.

For the most part. It was great. We really enjoyed it. We chose to sit at the bar because we thought there was going to be some type of f or cool show drinks made smoked something like that. There wasn’t that. However, the drinks we had were all phenomenal. Really good flavor. They only serve appetizers, so definitely try and eat at the restaurant first, but the appetizers were delicious.

Blanco Cocina + Cantina has long been a go-to choice for great Mexican food, and my first visit to the new Tempe location did not disappoint. The food was just as delicious as I’ve come to expect, and the margaritas were spot on. The vibe is cool and casual—perfect for relaxing or catching up over a good meal. I met my son here for an important conversation about joining me in growing my business, and the setting couldn’t have been better. The staff was warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Whether you're a longtime fan of the chain or trying it for the first time, this location is absolutely worth a visit.
