We were seated right a way. Parking lot was almost totally full. Friday night so they were busy. We had a group of 5 our waitress was great. The food was spot on delicious. We did wait a little longer but it wasn't extraordinary for as busy as it was

I’ve eaten here a handful of times always had good food and great service! Large patio out back. Don’t let the full parking lot scare you I’ve never waited long to be seated.

T Blanco’s Mexican Cafe was just what I needed. Great patio space and there was no wait even after church. The jalapeno bacon wrapped shrimp was delicious. The chips and salsa were nice. I want to try the queso and a margarita next time. Thanks T Blanco’s!

Now T. Blanco's is an amazing restaurant. I think we have been here around 30 times, and we all agree that the drinks, food, and atmosphere are on point. This is our go-to Mexican spot around Lake Cherokee and always will be. Parking is very easily accessible even for on a Saturday. There is a nice patio area as well.

Hate gushing but this joint is great! We got there early for lunch, most folks were seated out back. Looked like a great area to sit and eat. We sat inside due to the wind blowing. Chips and salsa were brought to the table, which tasted great. I ordered some of their signature tacos with charro beans. Boss lady ordered the steak fajitas. Both meals were seasoned very well and tasted incredible. If y'all in town, stop and eat here!

First time being here for a birthday. Only negative thing I'd say is it's a small restaurant, gets packed easily. Other than that, food was great and our waiter was amazing! Clean place, too. Definitely will come back if we are in the area again.
