My son and I love to try a new restaurant every time we go into Kerrville. Today we tried Francisco's in the historic downtown. Loved the old building and numerous paintings on the wall! We were attended to promptly and after reviewing the menu we placed our order. I ordered the Caesar salad with chicken and son ordered a ham and cheese sandwich. We watched some regulars come in and hug their favorite wait staffers (which seemed to be everyone on duty!) and check on other patrons to say hi before settling back at their table. The vibe was people on business lunches, retirees meeting up with friends, and a few tourists. I really loved the "homeyness" of watching everyone being familiar with the patrons and the overall friendly vibe. Our order arrived and I loved that the lettuce was cut into small bite size pieces rather than larger leaves which always look like someone grazing when eating off the fork. The bite size pieces were a nice surprise and also loved the grapefruit slice! I love grapefruit so this was so nice to see!! First bite was great! I tasted a hint of mustard in the dressing - not for sure if there was but it was a tangy change of the usual Caesar dressing. I liked it! I had as much as I could and my growing son finished it off for me after he finished his sandwich. I asked him about his sandwich and he said it was the best ham and cheese he's ever had! Hey...I said...what about mine!!?? Oh well. He loved the bread and the Swiss cheese. Different flavors for him and he approved. We didn't do dessert since we had shopping to do. We paid the bill and readied to leave. I noted to the lady group sitting next to us about one of the ladies purse. It was super cute and not the standard luxury fare. They were so friendly to my remark I swore if I commented more they would have told me to join them! Super friendly people, restaurant, and great food!! We'll have to try it again sometime after we try all the other restaurants in town!! You won't be disappointed if you try this place!! read more

Nice lunch outing. Pleasant surroundings though live music just outside made it difficult to carry on a conversation at times. Service was busy but friendly and efficient. Food was quite good though chips were thicker than I prefer but salsa was excellent. Pricing was reasonable. Servings plentiful. Overall very good experience. read more

Great spot for girls lunch.. the food is light and fresh and the service friendly and professional.

Very fun Mexican fusion restaurant in downtown Kerrville, TX. We ordered from the daily specials. Fried oyster nachos, and grilled jumbo shrimp. Both were outstanding! Fun atmosphere and unique fare. read more

Our two previous visits were very pleasant. Tonight was not so great. The only reservation we could get was at 7:30, and they rushed us through dinner. My wife ordered a Tanqueray gin martini. They didn't have Tanqueray!! I ordered a Manhattan. I had to tell the server/bartender how to make it. And it was very small. We were then rushed to order our food, and rushed to close out the bill. I had a steak and didn't have time to take even one bite! Much less try the rest on the plate. They try to be a gourmet restaurant, but they come off as a hick town cafe. read more

I stopped in on this hot afternoon for the first time with Thing Two after coming back from Rock Springs. This is a quaint little spot on corner of Water street and Earl Garrett Street in down-town Kerrville. The atmosphere inside and out side presents as mid to up- scale dining but the food here is simple, fresh and gives a unique perspective to Mexican Deli (yes, I just made that term up) cuisine. The food Talapia Tacos Thing Two ordered the lunch special which was Crispy Talapia Tacos adding a cup of Tortilla soup. The Talapia for the tacos was crisp and had a zing to the what is a less than top-shelf piece of fish. The fresh cabbage and Pico de Gallo that accompanied this entree was just right for a hot summer afternoon. Mexican Sandwich This is a fairly simple sandwich (turkey and cheese) with iceberg lettuce, guacamole and Pico de Gallo. This sandwich was light and had a nice offering of deli-cut turkey meat. Service The owner and the waiter were both warm and welcoming. I appreciate the Southern hospitality and charm shown on this visit. Overall, between the service, price point, and food, this spot is worth a return visit. #supportlocal read more

Food is always excellent! Service is outstanding and always so nice! The outdoor and indoor dining experience are equally beautiful. Depends on the day, and what you are in the mood for. One of my favorite places to meet with friends read more

Came at linch and It was expensive which can be expected but the food was not very good. Not worth it.

Went to lunch at Francisco's on Valentine's Day with a girlfriend. It was my first visit to Kerrville in years, and I'm probably going to remember Francisco's as the highlight of my trip! Absolutely loved the food, loved the build-out and ambience of the restaurant itself and loved the wonderful server! We both decided to try the daily special, which was Enchiladas Verdes and they were possibly the best I've ever had! (Great tomatillo sauce I could have licked it off my plate!) I also noticed a lot of people had a unique looking dish so I ordered it à la cart just to see what it was like. I believe it was called Vera Cruz something... It was frankly, one of the weirdest concoctions I've ever had, and at the same time it was wonderful! It was spicy chicken salad, seasoned with who knows what, served on a crispy chalupa shell, and topped with guacamole and grated cheese. I'd definitely go out on a limb again for that! All I can say, is you really need to try this place! read more

Francisco's - Posolé verde and the daily special tostada. - American Near Me - Kerrville, Texas

Francisco's is always above par...make a reservation or there's only a minimal chance you can find a table. Which is not to say that it is either crowded or loud. It is neither. I always ask, do you have salmon this evening? And the answer is yes. And my taste buds are doing the happy dance. It is the most above par table service of any restaurant in Kerrville. Attentive. Non intrusive. Seeing to every detail. Treat yourself to a lovely evening. read more

I've been coming to Francisco for years! It's my favorite restaurant in the Hill Country. Try the Veracruz nachos! you won't regret it!!

2 of us for lunch $24 for a plain white bread sandwich and a cold chicken salad plate. Both of us commented that is "was ordinary" "no love in the mix" And then on top of that a $1 charge on the bill for the please of paying my bill. When approached management a day later I was told that no notice of any kind was announced or posted concerning this $1 and please be on your was as "were closed"! Won't be back read more

Absolutely the best food-the specials of the day! We loved them t and can't wait to return!!!!

Always a treat to go here for a fancy meal. Food is great. Terrific service. A local favorite.

Kerrville, TX I never knew Kerrville had such wonderful restaurants. On a recent trip we stopped in to Francisco's. What a treat. From the cloth covered tables with cute flower arrangements we could see this owner went the extra mile to offer a great dining experience. On top of that the staff was very friendly. My husband had the fish tacos which he said were awesome. I had the Mexican Sandwich which was delicious. We hope to go back on our next visit to the area! read more

Very good food especially the crispy egg rolls; unfortunately the service was just ok.

Stopped here for lunch today. Really liked the food, service was great. My wife and I had the daily specials, enchiladas for me and a very different spicy chicken chalupa for her. Way different from the usual Tex mex fare, we loved it. The restaurant is an old bank building among other past lives. Great ambiance, we will be back for sure. read more

We need Paco back. We have never had a bad meal at Fransico's's until tonight. I think the new owners need to get Paco to come help them with the old recipes. My husband ordered the steak and it was the worst steak he's ever had. I ordered the salmon as per usual, and it was very very dry. The zucchini was over cooked and soggy. We told our server that the steak was tough and inedible, and we returned more than half of it. The server said he would let them know, but it was still left on our bill. Not sure when we'll be back. Perhaps if the kinks get worked out. read more

We enjoyed a fabulous lunch at this establishments. The service was exceptional as was the fare--fish tacos, verde tomatillo soup and tuna salad sandwich. We were seated promptly and our server was attentive without being intrusive. Our first-time dining but certainly not to be our last and plan to return for dinner in the near future. read more

This place looks high end from the building to the decor. The menu has high end items BUT the prices are amazing! Hubby & I had a fabulous lunch for less than it would cost at some fast food places! I always hesitate to order a salad with grilled chicken because the chicken is usually flavorless. Today I had the Caesar salad with grilled chicken. (Trying to stick to low carb). It was delicious and lots of flavor! Hubby had the Chile relleno special. Wow, it was awesome! Our server, didn't get her name, was super! Glad we found this gem to start our weekend getaway! read more

We've lived in Kerrville for awhile but had not tried Francisco's yet. Last week my mom took me in for my birthday lunch. We sat on the patio since the weather was perfect. The food was excellent with great prices. We will be back. read more

If you're looking for a cute and delicious lunch, look no further! We sat outside and it was great. Food was a good portion and tasty. The chicken tortilla soup has mild spice and everything is cut to bite size, which is how soups should be. The tuna and chicken salad sandwiches are made to perfection. The bread is thin enough so you actually get to taste the sandwich. They put the perfecTortilla Soupt amount of Mayo in them as well so you taste the chicken or tuna! Comes with a pickle and a piece of watermelon. Highly recommend and we will be back. Great, quick, & friendly service as well. read more

Really good and DIFFERENT food! We stopped in and had a couple of the daily specials which were GREAT! Fish tacos were some of the best I've ever had and I'm not usually a fan of fried fish! Queso fresco enchiladas with bean sauce were good and something very different than I've ever heard of before. Restaurant is quaint and really intimate as there are only about 15 tables inside. A MUST try if you're in Kerrville read more

We did not eat here in 2021 because the tables are just too close together but now is fine. The food is great and so is the service.

What a great find during our time in Kerrville! We both had the lunch special. Service was great and fast. Food was so good!!

The cutest decor * Steak, seafood, and Mexican * Every plate comes with a watermelon slice for dessert! * I eat vegan and there were a couple of things I could easily modify, I ordered the Salad Sandwich and it was delicious! * Their guacamole is perfect * Our server was very sweet * Five stars all around! read more

The service was very good and we really like the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food was just not good. We ordered fried jalapenos and they were the typical commercial frozen cream cheese stuffed jalapenos you get from Sysco foods (though they were plated REALLY nicely). Salads were decent. Entrees were all pretty bad. I had the cilantro chicken and the chicken was so rubbery I couldn't eat it. The veg was sauted squash and the flavors were actually quite good, but it was so overcooked that the end result was also poor. read more
