Fashion Valley’s Blanco Cocina and Cantina Restaurant Expanding to Coronado | Eater San Diego

"Bringing more tacos and tequila to the peninsula, I learned Blanco Cocina + Cantina is moving into the prominent corner space at Orange and B Avenues (the former Bistro D’Asia). Developed by Fox Restaurant Concepts and led by founder Sam Fox, this will be his second Coronado venture after opening an outpost of the Henry nearby in 2019. The menu follows the Blanco brand’s Mexican‑American Southwest style — think cheese crisps, or open‑face quesadillas, and Tucson‑style chimichangas filled with short rib machaca or braised chicken, plus a large variety of tacos, burritos, fajitas, and enchiladas. Due to open in 2023, the restaurant will also feature an outdoor patio and a bustling bar serving spicy margaritas, frozen palomas, mezcal old fashioneds, and flights of tequila and mezcal." - Candice Woo
