Came here for cinco de Mayo-not what I expected. It was so packed and loud. Thought it must be good! The wait was forever and the drinks weren't yummy :/ or I just don't like mine that strong. It was over priced and idk just not that good for that price. We got fajita, chicken, shrimp combo. Everyone seemed to have a great time, dancing, singing etc. read more

Service: really good Food: ok Bathroom Area: worse than some of the third-world countries I've been to. There's soap and toilet paper, so that's cool. I'm actually surprised that my journey to the bathroom and the bathroom itself, was so horrible, considering the neighborhood this restaurant is in. Management: Not cool read more

The food is good but the service is not. Super slow. I mean super slow. You come in with a small group and instead of giving you a menu to review while you wait forever for drinks they only bring them after. Then you wait forever again for your apps then forever again to order. You get the point. Zero structure. After HOURS of being there you wasted your night mainly waiting on staff. read more

This location is one of my favorite spots. It's lowlit and spacious with plenty of bar, table, and patio seating. It's very easy to accommodate large parties. I usually go with a team of 8-10 people. The chips and salsa are one of my favorites. The salsa is smooth, not chunky or spicy, and great flavor. I'm exploring different items on the menu, but so far I like the Salmon Tacos and Beef Fajita Nachos. I've tried the Flautas and Chimichanga, but not too impressed with those. The Chimichanga wasn't fried as I expected and on a bed of tomato sauce which took away from the flavor and then I used my friend's Chipptle Sauce she received for a different dish to add flavor to the flautas. Happy hour deals are pretty great. I enjoy the house margs for $3.50. For birthdays, I was welcomed and surprised by the staff with a slice of cheesecake that had a tortilla chip lit on top vs a candle, they gave me a Sombrero to wear, and sang happy birthday. read more

I would give this place 6/5 stars if I could! Incredible happy hour margaritas!!! Excellent service, delicious food and strong tasty drinks! Tucked away, it was a hidden gem with a lovely cozy patio. Perfect lunch date! They have happy hour M-Sa, 11am-6pm, all day Sunday. Also M-F lunch specials. Our server was amazing. Masks are required until you are seated. Excellent chips and salsa. I ordered the enchiladas lunch special and I cannot believe it was only $8! It was as delicious as it looked! Highly recommend visiting this place! read more

Excellent & efficient service. Food is hot, delicious & very generous. Great for families

I needed a pit stop for a quick bite and drink. This was convenient and hidden in a shopping center. I might have just gotten a server was checked out. He kept rushing me, interrupting when I was chatting with someone else, and just didn't seem to be welcoming. It was frustrating to be one out of three tables and they were being treated well and I was left wanting more. When I have to get up and get my own silverware to eat, it's a pretty big let down. The margarita was nice and not too sweet and the food was decent but, I need a bit more for their price point. read more

Delicious every time! The salsa here is great, just the right amount of spice. Love Mexican Lasagna too, it's my favorite of many delicious dishes. Most of all, though, it's the friendly service that keeps us coming back! read more

Oh noooooo! Wait staff refused to wear a mask while serving. I'm immunocompromised and the manager came out to inform me his staff does not, and will not wear a mask. We came early at 4ish this evening and sat outside. This has been my FAVORITE MEXICAN restaurant since moving to TX from NJ. I'm originally from CA and definitely know good Mexican food. I drive across town from northwest Plano. You'd think with the less than minimum wages earned, as a waitress, you'd want to please the customer and stay safe. TEXAS remember the entire WORLD is still in a pandemic!!!! read more

If I ever have to choose my last meal, it will be those damn brisket enchiladas. Great salsa, great margaritas, great service.

Food is consistent and atmosphere is good. Convient location makes this a great neighborhood Mexican restaurant.

This is the best Tex-Mex restaurant in the DFW area. Two thumbs up for the amazing food and service. I had the shrimp tacos and it was very tasty and robust with lots of shrimps. Also, save room for dessert because you don't want to miss having the tres leches cake. This place can get really crowded on the weekends so get there before 6 PM. read more

We decided to eat here since my wife wanted to try the desert around the area and then from there decide on where we would want to eat. I saw this place and I said sure why not try it. I was not too hungry, but I wanted to give it a shot. I ordered the torta with the pork and it ended up being better than expected. The chips and salsa was pretty good, but not good enough for a 2nd filling. Overall, service was great here and enjoyed myself here. read more

Great at handling a big and complicated group meal (both fast and accurate) without a reservation!

We used to love this restaurant, but today our food came out cold, and nobody could eat it! The fajita meat was so dry!

Slow Thursday night, table for 2. Quickly seated and food comes out quickly. Cheese enchiladas were good. Brisket enchiladas were ok. Not a fan of their mole sauce. Rice and beans were rice and beans. Also, we were seated next to the kitchen and there were so many empty tables. read more

Vegan options! Food very flavorful and service good and friendly. Great margaritas! The prices are reasonable

Went here on Friday for lunch with some friends. The food was impressive, but the service left very much to be desired. The restaurant is located in a neighborhood that suddenly opens up to a shopping centre with the restaurant in a corner. The shopping centre is super busy, so be ready to park a little far away. My friends were already there, so I had a seat. It took a little while for our waiter to come by. He asked for our drink orders and I saw that they had happy hour from 11am-6pm, but I opted for just a water with lemon. A couple of my friends asked for extra salsa and that took a while for it to be brought to us. I checked out the menu and decided on the chicken fajita tacos. I opted for all beans instead of rice and beans. I got black and refried beans. The waiter told me that he would bring both, but when my food came out this did not occur. My platter looked amazing, but my tacos were a little dry, so I asked for some lettuce. The lettuce did help a little bit, but the salsa helped even more. This spot has some of the best salsa I've had in a while. I wish I could've eaten more, but my stomach told me no. I ended up taking my lunch home and had two more meals! My entire lunch was just $8! I did get charged $1 for the lettuce though making my grand total $9. I think for the future I would get take out here as the service was super slow and lack luster. read more

Since Lalo's didn't do it for me, I was determined to find Tex Mex that lived up to it's namesake. Frankie's did just that. First and foremost, I wanted good queso. I got it. Finally. Frankie's queso is a white style served with peppers throughout; it had a great viscosity, not too thick not too thin. If you see my picture, you'll see how it oozes down the chip. Perfection. Could bottle that up and eat it everyday. They gave complimentary bean dip tostadas that I thought were fun and tasty. I love when restaurants make that little, but noticeable, and very appreciated extra effort to do more than the average. The chips and salsa were Very Good. This was in my top 5 best red salsas I've ever had. very pleased with it. I ordered two crunchy tacos with shredded beef, and queso. Honestly, the tacos could have been better, maybe not the best thing to order, however everything else was so good I could hardly mind. Service was great, very warm and friendly. My server even invited me to a food event the next day! Sadly, I couldn't go because I was leaving town the next day. I would highly recommend Frankie's for anyone looking for Tex Mex. Frankie's delivered in a fun, tasty, and charming way. read more

Our favorite Mexican restaurant, and we have a few, but every time we visit we are reminded of how great it is. It was formerly called Frankie's, but although the name has changed the food/recipes are the same. Veggie enchiladas are the BEST! I love their interpretation most - cheese enchiladas with sour cream sauce, topped with sauteed FRESH veggies. I could eat them for every meal of the day. Brisket enchiladas are fantastic, too. If your go-to is fajitas - you'll be impressed by the thick juicy slices of meat. Great quality ingredients is what makes the difference here. Can't rave enough about them. Oh, and I forgot to mention their salsa - so good!!! We just finished eating, we are completely stuffed, and writing this review is making us hungry for more. read more

I love the unique menu items. The brisket enchiladas are delicious. Have always had good service and they are always friendly. The restaurant is big with plenty of seating. Reservations for a large party always recommended. read more

3 stars for the chicken. Seriously wouldn't recommend this place for the service we received. I'm disappointed because it looked like a nice place but I don't like to be ignored and even though it was Friday, and for my anniversary to celebrate my wife and I, could've been better. The drink we payed for $12 was a joke and the only acceptable person there was the host. Perhaps maybe it is better to go during the week but yeah service was absolutely horrible. We went next door to have desert to the snow cone place rather then wait another 20 minutes. read more

This Tex-Mex place is just ok. Chips and salsa were addicting and enjoyable though - and only in Texas do these complimentary things seem to matter. We were given complimentary tostadas with lettuce, refried beans and sour cream - and I wasn't really a fan of it. It was too gloppy - and maybe it is something a kid would appreciate more. The JAMBALAYA (yes, they had a few Cajun dishes, much to my surprise) was pretty tasty although it was accompanied with some uninspired and overly processed sausage and soggy garlic bread. The FAJITAS were big, although there were three times more onions than beef - and as much as I love onions, I thought this was an overkill. The beef itself was nothing noteworthy, but the fajitas overall were decently made. I was given two flour tortillas and one corn tortilla (not sure why it came like this). And the flour tortilla was better than the limp and tasteless corn tortilla. I personally thought the jambalaya (not counting its accompaniments) was tastier than my fajitas. While the food seems to be a little confused as it was full of hits and misses, the menu itself was also confusing. Under the "fajitas" heading of the menu, there was an option for beef fajitas and an option for carne asada. And carne asada just means grilled meat, which is what fajita is also. So I inquired about it and the waiter said that it's the same meat. The only difference is fajitas are sliced and carne asada isn't - despite the menu item being placed under fajitas. And the jambalaya, a Cajun rice dish, was placed under the "pasta" heading in the menu. It is not a pasta dish, I can assure you of that. My friend who ordered it was expecting a pasta rendition of the dish and was disappointed that it was just a standard jambalaya. Despite the lackluster showing in the food department, I have to say that it's a very affordable place. My beef fajitas came out to be less than $10 even though it was listed at $15 in the menu (maybe there was a special going on on Mondays?). The smaller jambalaya came out at $12. AMBIENCE: great patio, dark interior (not enough lighting), campy feel PRICE: Affordable SERVICE: Friendly, attentive read more

Not impressed with this place at all. I judge all Mexican restaurants by the quality of their chips and salsa and their margaritas and in my opinion, this place fell way short. #1 - I was first put off by the host that "greeted" us. Unbeknowst to us, we were trying to come in through the patio door which was locked. Once we found the correct door, there was a guy standing off to the side of the entrance rather than behind the hostess desk and he was just looking at us (rather than saying "Welcome" or "Table for 2?"). So we just kinda stood there looking around for a hostess who was going to seat us before we looked back over at him and realized he was the guy. At that point I was thinking, "I hope this isn't a bad omen of what this place will be like". It was. #2 - the chips were think instead of light and crispy and the salsa was nothing short of mediocre. #3 - the margarita I ordered (on the rocks), wasn't bad, but it was no where near $11 good! I first learned of this restaurant while attending an outdoor food truck event in Sachse and their Sachse location provided the alcohol at the outdoor bar. The lady who was serving said they made up a fresh batch of premixed margaritas with fresh squeezed limes and they were delicious at $7 a cup! Unfortunately, I didn't taste any of that freshness or quality at this location. Maybe I have to go to an outdoor food truck park to get one of their better tasting margaritas? #4 - The food was the most disappointing of all. The server brought it out to us fairly quickly with the obligatory "hot plate" warning as she set it down, however, the food was just barely warm. There was nothing "hot" about it. The taste was OK but serving food only luke warm just really ruined the meal for me. #5 - Last but not least, the music. Although they were playing Mexican music, it was loud and the genre was somewhat obnoxious sounding - like Mexican hip hop or rap music. Despite my underwhelming experience, they didn't seem to be hurting for business with a steady steam of patrons trickling in as we were leaving. This place is a one and done for me. read more

I love coming here for some local tex mex. It's in a cute area that can get pretty crowded. The chips and salsa are delicious. The salsa has a great spice and is addiction. The margarita's here are dangerously strong. I always get the brisket enchilada. 4 large enchilada's filled with mashed potatoes topped with brisket and sauce. It's to die for, and I highly recommend it. read more

The service was very good. We loved the salsa. The queso is good- a bit on the spicy side. The tacos and enchiladas are delicious!

This was our first visit since this location changed owners/names and we were pretty disappointed. The service was good, except we had to ask for refills twice, which isn't that big of a deal. Then, the manager came to ask how everything was as we were being served, so I told him the chips and salsa were good (and they are). If he had waited a little longer, I could have asked why the chicken chimichanga wasn't fried and my brisket enchiladas were tough and unrolling themselves. I had assumed this was going to be the same quality of food, as the manager said that the restaurant was of the same family, but it wasn't. Besides the chips and salsa, all of the flavors were just off? If I ever go back, I will get something basic instead of the specialties to see if it's just us or the restaurant. read more

First time here and we have had a great experience. In Texas the chips and salsa set the tone and they did well. The jalapeño queso is delicious. Between our group we ordered beef fajitas, carne asada & chicken chimichanga with queso sauce. The fajitas and carne asada come with beans and rice and some other extras. My spouse loves the refried beans! Mixed the beans with their rice and no food was left over! Fajitas and carne asada came out sizzling and cooked to our liking. The chimichanga is going to be a repeat meal. As far as dining during the pandemic they have done a fine job. Half of the restaurant is closed off. Seating available at every other table. Hand sanitizer offered at every table. Servers were doing a Great job at cleaning and sanitizing. Lots of hustling with all of the staff. We will be back and recommend this place. read more

Last Sunday was my second visit since it changed ownership, and both times were perfectly fine. The food won't knock you over, but it's considerably better than average.
