This is my favorite Mexican restaurant. I've never been disappointed by the food, the drinks, or the service. As a matter of Fact... Ruby, is our favorite waitress! She is better than any waiter that we've ever had, anywhere. She has become a friend and we always sit in her section. I always order Brian's Spinach enchiladas with poblano sauce and grilled salmon on top. It's probably one of my all time favorite dishes of any restaurant! Their drinks are good and strong. I usually get their house margarita. I highly recommend Frankie's and definitely ask for Ruby! read more

This place is the perfect spot to Stop Drop and Roll on a Friday night after a hard week! You stop at Frankies Drop your troubles or work week cares at the door, and roll with the laughter the jokes the margaritas and joy that surrounds you! If you don't drink, it's ok, they have some good sweet tea! I enjoy myself every time I Go! And I have to have a two margarita limit! Because they are THAT good. Not watered or juiced down. By the middle of the first one your shoulders are loosened up. Friendly staff at the door, the wait staff is so busy they may not be as friendly but you will get good service. It is a tight fit, but the people I've always had to sit around have been fun! See people there that you don't care for, just don't sit in an area they are sitting in! (That's happened to me because it's such a neighborhood hang out for hard working adults on the week end) but read more

Food is good. Service is good. Price is ok...maybe a little high for what you get. Can fit large groups or go solo.

We were in the area for other business and asked our decorator where we might find some good Mexican food. She suggested Frankies and we stopped in for lunch. Good call. The place is very clean with tables inside and out. We had a great lunch with excellent service at reasonable prices. I wish it were closer to home so we could visit more often. Give it a shot, I think you will like it! read more

Great place,my go to for Mexican food,always treated fairly with a courteous and friendly waitstaff,food is fresh and well prepared. read more

Frankies - Tex-Mex Near Me - Garland, Texas

My goodness... there is NO better Tex mex in the area. The food is so delicious. Drinks are PERFECT- equally tasty and generous in their pour, and the service is impeccable. We've had amazing servers every time but specifically love Pinky. Frankies is our go to place. If you need recommendations - we love the margaritas, sausage queso, and combo fajitas. read more

I ordered shrimp and beef only got shrimp!!!! Not even enough shrimp(small shrimp) too much cheese! I called and complained he gave me nothing but attitude!!!! read more

This place is too good. If there was an Infiniti stone that had the power of best Mexican food, this place would have it. The service as soon as you step in the door was amazing. I wish the place was close to me, I would eat there at least every other day. I'm a verrrrrry picky eater. The place was very clean. The food was good quality. You will not be disappointed if you eat there. read more

One waiter saw that i didnt eat much and took it off the recipt! Thank you very much if youre reading this! Bless you!

We had the best experience here. The food was super fresh. Our waiter was on point. The mini sopapillas with ice cream was so good. It was honestly a great experience! read more

I hate writing this, but here goes. I was one of the first to review this place, I even worked at the Dairy Queen it was before when I was a kid. I came here several times and it was great. It was good to see familiar faces from Amigo's. I brought a group of 8 old friends to eat and our waiter was obviously very new. He was completely unfamiliar with the menu and he even had to grab a copy to read along with what was ordered. He could not answer any questions about the dishes. We ordered margaritas and food. Four of the eight dishes had to go back, either wrong or improperly cooked. Waiter disappeared until check time, our drink glasses sat empty, no one checked on us, and of course, the bill was crazy wrong. I didn't say anything, I just chalked it up to new waiter. I went back with my husband for my birthday dinner on a Monday night. Our waiter got our drinks, took our order, then disappeared. The manager brought our food and asked if everything was okay. I expressed surprise that my chili Relleno burrito was served with French fries. He brought me a plate of rice and beans. I ate the burrito, I didn't taste chili or chicken. It wasn't very good, I just thought I'd ordered the wrong thing. Sweetie had ordered nachos with ground beef. He told me the nachos had chorizo instead of beef. He had eaten two of the nachos. Our margarita glasses sat empty. I asked for our waiter and the manager came back. He started arguing with my husband saying it WAS ground beef. Husband said it tasted bad. Manager said it was what he ordered. He argued with us two more times that it was ground beef. Hubby said to get the food away and go away. It doesn't matter what it is if it tastes bad! We stopped the owner, who I have known for over ten years, he apologized and asked us to come back. I told him we would. Then, we were leaving, owner and manager standing by the door. They charged us!!! I paid our bill, but I will NEVER go back! read more

The best Tex-Mex around! The service is great, food is wonderful and the prices are affordable. I highly recommend checking this place out!

Great service. Mix drinks were done right. Food was very presentable. I think food was good just wish i had chosen different.

Bomb Mexican food, so delicious. If you love Queso ask for brisket in it, it'll change your life

Brisket and mash potato enchiladas and Vera Cruz fish are so yummy! I also love the build your own enchiladas and sautéed vegetables. I try to eat and drink here every week. Awesome food and service. Love love Frankie's! read more

Unbelievably good! Delicious food and great service. A limitless hole in the wall place with incredible food.

Good food, always on point. The brisket tacos are always a must have. We came here for national Margarita Day and I highly recommend the mango margarita! The food comes out so quickly and the service is always fast! read more

Hands down the best Tex-Mex the Dallas area has to offer. Don't usually say this but anything and everything I've tried on the menu is fabulous unique and delicious.. try it all! Save room for the Coconut Flan... it's out of this world!!! read more

You simply can't beat the taste of this cuisine, the great atmosphere and great drinks. Try the queso and watermelon margarita!

Love this place. Food and their salsa with the chips are bomb diggity!! Great sour cream enchiladas. Always satisfies my craving. Just thinking about makes me want to go there now. This is my local go to spot. read more

We pulled up to the new Frankie's Place, but we weren't sure if this was the same Frankie's as the one on Custer in Richardson and the one in Sachse. The website currently does not mention this location and the naming is slightly different. So, instead we drove to the one on Custer just to be safe. We saw a sign on the chalkboard that said to visit their new location at Plano Rd. in Garland. D'oh! We were right there, but I was too chicken to just go in and try it. But, if it wasn't truly Frankie's, I would have wanted to leave! (Also, this building was the old and decrepit Dairy Queen that shut down many years ago, so WHO KNOWS what could have been in there!) So, being reassured that it would be good, we decided to go for brunch. We got there around 11:30am and there was almost no one there. The building doesn't look like much on the outside, but the inside is beautiful. They have a bar area and a dining area, lots of TVs on the walls, and they've put in the warm, wood detail that the other locations also have. The menu prices seem to be a couple bucks cheaper than the other Frankie's which makes sense given the vastly different neighborhoods in which they are located. We found out by reading the history on their menu that they are also related to Amigo's on Belt Line in Richardson. The chips were warm and crispy, the salsa was fresh and not too spicy (I prefer mild with just a little kick). We ordered queso with chorizo which does not cost extra (they only extra if you want the brisket added). It is queso blanco until you stir the chorizo in and it is delicious! We also had two of the brunch items which were very good and hearty. JJ's casserole is two perfect, "basted" (fried) eggs on top of ham, mushroom, onions, potatoes, and cheese. Francisco's casserole was similar but with chorizo and peppers. By the time we left, the place was nearly packed. I guess they are relying on word of mouth at the moment and I think that may be all they need! We'll definitely be back very soon. read more

Another heads up: kids meals don't include drinks. So if you get a kids meal, it's still $3 more for a juice. $10 kids meals is kiiiiiinda lame. Heads up: you can only get into the parking lot if your on Plano headed north, and parking is limited, so get there early. They've got a few tables on the patio, but it's a bit stuffy and loud out there from the road noise. Happy Hour Marg Specials (til 6pm): $3 frozen $4 on ice (Get one of these and thank me later!) The margaritas are strong for the Richardson/Garland area, and the prices are great too. We love the amigo enchilada plate (but with avocado sauce on the cheese enchilada) and the three cheese enchiladas with guajillo sauce and potatoes and jalapeños on top! (Both around $10-12 for dinner) Son loves the kids meal with the cheese and chicken "taco" and rice and beans. ($4.25) Our first visit, they brought our son a small side of beans when we were eating the chips and queso, and we thought that was SO AWESOME but this waitress/time we didn't get that. Womp womp. However, we did choose to go with the mini sopapilla for $5 and it was SOOO delicious. Desserts are good for your soul, and your soul dessssseerrrrrves it too. ;) read more

There are a few of these locations throughout the local area this one happens to be down the street from where I work, they have really awesome lunch specials high-quality food for a low price really can't find that kind of deal anymore this is a little diamond in the rough they have tamale Wednesdays and taco Thursdays read more

Get the Kearny Asada dinner plate very good. Because about $20 but I want it something really tasty and I will be coming back

We really like Frankie's. Favorite dishes: Pork Stew Chile Relleno (YUM) Papa's Special (cheese enchiladas with fajita meat on top) Best-Seller Brisket Enchiladas (amazing mashed potato enchiladas!!!) Pro-tip: sub the rice and beans for the mixed veggies. OMG! I watched our 4 year old scarf down a whole plate of it. That's how good they are. The queso needs improvement. Every time we add meat to it, there's a pool of grease on top. It makes the whole dish taste oily. For being a refurbished Dairy Queen, it actually looks pretty nice inside. read more

What a great Tex-Mex place! What I love about this place is that it is not your typical Tex-Mex restaurant. While there are some of the usual classics, there are some different dishes that you can try. If you do you will be rewards with something delicious. If you want something in addition to the already great salsa with your chips, get the queso! It's great on its own but you can get it with either brisket or ground beef which compliments it well. My personal favorite dish is the brisket tacos. But I have not had something that I don't like. This place is on one of my favorite places and I regularly come here. read more

I really don't understand all the hoopla about this place. It's so popular in our neighborhood that it's hard to get a seat. It's in an old Dairy Queen, but the interior is rather nice. The food, however, was overpriced (especially for such a casual atmosphere), and SKIMPY. My daughter's $14.95 steak fajita plate came with just enough meat to make two fajitas. The rest of us ordered dishes that were simply unmemorable. Meh. I'm still on the look-out for a great Mexican food restaurant in the area, unfortunately I keep being directed to places that do not wow me. read more

I've been here a few times. The food comes really fast (awesome!) But the check comes slow. One time during a slow hour maybe 3pm, we were seated when a party of 20 came in and sat right by us. After that we were completely ignored. Waited on the check for almost half an hour before we went up to the front to pay. When we paid, the waiter up front didn't say anything at all, not even thank you. Other than that, everything is great like the chips and salsa. read more

Place to go order for pick up and was very disappointed with what I received. The to go margarita was half the size as what you get when in the restaurant. I ordered a medium soup, but received a small size without the side you usually receive when dinning in the establishment. Always make sure to check the order before you take it because the last 3 times I placed to go order, either something was wrong or something was missing. read more

Great little Hidden Tex Mex joint off of Plano. It's pretty true to its name most of the menu is Tex Mex so expect a lot of cheese. The plates look good but not amazing in fairness we did show up late when it was about to be closing time so the food was a little bit on the cold side, rice was a bit on the hard side not fresh. But I did like the sour cream enchiladas so I'm willing to give it a go again. The best part is they have awesome drink specials the Margaritas were strong and cheap. Gave them 3 stars cause it wasn't the best Tex Mex I've had but it was good. read more

Frankies - Tex-Mex Near Me - Garland, Texas

Definitely found their groove. Food is great. I've even bought trays of rice and beans for a bday party and everyone loved it.

This is my absolute favorite Mexican restaurant to go to. My whole family enjoys the atmosphere, the friendliness of the management and staff, and the food is AMAZING! When you arrive, the owner is always there to greet you and opens the door for you, which you don't experience much elsewhere. Chips and salsa is always made in house and very fresh. We all love the fact that they use the white cheese instead of yellow which makes a huge difference. Personally, my favorite meal is the chili relleno with their delicious Mexican rice. I highly recommend this place for a good time with your family and friends, great food, and exceptional service! read more

Good atmosphere. Good staff. Very welcoming. The menu is similar to Amigos with new items. I don't consider it the best Mexican food but it's good and it's local. We had a good time. read more

See all

Had the shrimp tacos to go. The guy helping us was super nice and everything was packed up clean and orderly. They even give you plenty of tortilla chips. The tacos were plentiful, three shrimp tacos with a side salad and Mexican rice. Plenty of food for a hardy lunch. I like that they put a lot of shrimp in the tacos, some places really hold back but not this place. They also add crispy tortilla stripes in the tacos, nice touch. The flavors of the tacos were good, this really reminds me of Tex mex but someone else disagreed with me. I don't know. Only thing I wish they did was offer tacos a la cart instead of as an entree. I would have liked to order different tacos to try and pass on the sides. read more

I already love the Frankie in Richardson off of Custer so i walked in being kind of hesitant of this one. But; i was completely wrong. I LOVED IT!! My family and i usually go o the frankies off Custer for brunch ever sunday, but it gets so full so i'm so glad that they have expanded! The food it just as good, employees are great, and mimosas are to die for! I had the Rafa's casserole. I'm normally not a fan of casserole's but this one won! I'll definitely be back.. Who can beat $3.00 mimosas!? read more

First time eating here and I couldn't even wait to finish eating before I wrote a review! This place is amazing ! Great staff , super clean, delicious food, great mimosas,cute decor...I can go on!!! 10 stars for sure read more

Love this location. We live closer to the one in Sachse but were in the area and decided to stop by on a last Friday night. They have such wonderful staff, very friendly and attentive. The food is fantastic. Hubby had quesadillas and I had brisket tacos. There's live music on Fridays. And the couple who sing are so good and so much fun! We had a blast! People dancing, having a great time. If you did not like it before, give it another try. I hope you will then be pleased. read more

I love this place, I go here maybe like once a week and the staff is so nice and the food is amazing! And the drinks here are soooo good!

Can't say enough about their food. Never been disappointed! Highly recommend it. There margaritas are quite good.
