🌮 Blanco Cocina & Cantina, the Sonoran-style Mexican concept from restaurateur Sam Fox, opens its seventh Valley location today near the northwest corner of Rural and University in Tempe.
It joins Fox siblings Italia North, which also opened today, and Flower Child, which opened Tuesday, at Novus Place, the entertainment district at the 355-acre Novus Innovation Corridor at ASU.

Margaritas, mezcal and tequila flights, sangria, and aguas frescas are highlights of the bar program.
