"Blanco Cocina + Cantina, Sam Fox's Phoenix-born modern Mexican restaurant, is opening its eighth location in downtown Nashville at the Fifth + Broadway development. The restaurant serves a variety of Mexican dishes like burritos, enchiladas, fajitas, and cheese crisps, with menu highlights such as jalapeno-spiked hamachi and watermelon ceviche with pomegranate seeds. Creative tacos on handmade tortillas, like carne asada with scallion relish, crushed avocado, and spicy garlic butter, are also featured. The bar at Blanco offers an array of tequila, mezcal, vacation-esque cocktails, and refreshing margaritas made with house-made sours and fresh-squeezed juice. The 4,801-square-foot establishment aims to bring 70 jobs to the city, with various positions available including front and back of house staff." - Delia Jo Ramsey
