Authentic and delicious! Many options on the menu, great vegetarian options, kids menu had several options- appeased my picky eaters! We ordered takeout, our order was accurate, food looked yummy, portions were more then expected. Staff was friendly and helpful- would venture here anytime. My only suggestion would be putting the nacho cheese on the sideto avoid soggy chips, but I also should have asked for that.

Went in to order to go. Restaurant was clean, employees were friendly! We ordered chicken empanadas, chicken tacos (soft), steak tacos (hard shell), plantains, and chicken chalupas. The empanadas were large and worth the money but for me, a little bland, my boyfriend really liked them dip in their hot sauce. The chicken tacos were great, they gave a side of lettuce/ tomato/ sour cream, layered nicely to put on your tacos. Steaks tacos were great, shells were crispy. Plantains were “fire”, very good. The chicken chalupas were very soggy and the flavor was okay. 4/5 because most things were good and we’d definitely go back and try other options. Overall pretty good!

Franco’s has the best food in town. My partner and I eat here, both dine in or take out, very often and we have yet to find something that disappoints. Since eating here for the first time in 2021, I have yet to find another that tops this place. The seafood tacos are my favorite, and their churros are to die for 🙂

Food was very good and they were flexible about adding extra cilantro and lime for me, and allowing our group to come in a bit late and leave a bit late well they cleaned up.

1st time customer. Some of the best mexican food I’ve ever tasted. The chorizo appetizer and beef chimichanga are amazing. Right down to the side of beans and rice, this place hits all the marks. Highly recommend
