Local chef Sam Fox’s award-winning concept Blanco Tacos & Tequila, operated by HMSHost at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, offers traditional Mexican fare of guacamole, tacos, and margaritas inspired by Baja and Sonora. A meal at Blanco will make any traveler wish that all their afternoons were spent south of the border, barefoot, with margarita salt on their lips.
Travelers can find every kind of taco under the sun on Blanco’s menu. Guests can choose from carne asada, grilled steak with cotija and lime, camarones, chipotle shrimp with avocado and tomato, and even seared ahi tuna with cucumbers and mango.
For something more satisfying before their flights, visitors can opt for a larger entrée dish. Selections include the salmon a la parrilla made with chayote squash, roasted corn, and chile verde, the Blanco burger with queso blanco and baja sauce, and the traditional burrito with machaca beef or chicken.
Nothing pairs better with an authentic Mexican dish than Blanco’s extensive variety of margaritas, sangria, ice cold Mexican beers, and dozens of rare tequilas. Guests can choose from an array of unique margaritas, including pomegranate and blood orange, all made with fresh lime juice and served on the rocks, in addition to a selection of red and white sangria, signature cocktails, and the finest tequilas in the airport.
