Frank's Monster Munchies has been one go-to for Sophia and myself. Going back to when they operated as a food truck, I've never had a bad dish. We came here two weekends ago actually as a Plan B because our first choice ran out of food items. Let's see if our Plan B worked out. Seating was available for the most part when we walked in. The owner greeted us and said welcome back. There were YouTube videos being played on TV screens around. 80s and 90s music...can't complain at all. After looking through the menu for a bit, I chose the buffalo chicken fries. It's actually an appetizer dish, but I actually got full before finishing. I took the leftovers home and finished that evening. Another great stop here for the both of us. What more can you ask for receiving great food with great care from the staff. You know we'll be back here :) read more

Short version: California burrito and Coke is amazing. Parking lot looks sketchy but inside has great decorations and normally good service. Long version: So I went to check out this Mexican spot in Hampton and it was pretty interesting. The little mall that this place is in looks run down and I was wondering if my car was going to get broken into while it was parked there. But once you get inside this place has some interesting vibes and tons of fun decorations. I got the California burrito with a Mexican Coke and highly recommend! It is a 14 inch burrito that you can hold in your hand with guac, shredded Monterey Jack, carne asada steak, crispy fries with cotija cheese. There was a big group of people (maybe 10-12) in there when we arrived that was eating up a lot of the attention of the one waiter. Also, we had a long wait for food because they actually ran out of steak that was prepped and so they had to prep more and grill it up for the burrito. My friend got the OG burrito which he thought was good, but was a little soggy from the juice from the chicken. Even with everything, I would still recommend this place, and their California burrito was amazing. read more

Visited for the first time on 4/15/25, arriving during the last hour before closing. It was quiet, with just a few takeout customers--felt like we had the place to ourselves. The decor is fun and quirky, with lots of spooky photos and playful artwork. Definitely plenty to look at! This isn't a fancy spot, but it's a great casual dining experience. Prices were reasonable, mostly in the $8-$16 range. I had the California burrito with steak and fries--good flavor, decent portion, though not huge and served without sides. My friend had tacos that looked tasty, and we started with chips and salsa (chips weren't warm, but the salsa was solid). We each had two margaritas, served in mason jars. At $8 apiece, they were a bit of a letdown--light on tequila and not worth the $32. That said, our server was friendly and knowledgeable, and the overall vibe was enjoyable. I really liked the burrito and would come back to try more. If you're looking to support a local spot with a unique atmosphere and casual eats, this is worth a visit. I'll be back! read more

Take it from a Bay Area Cali native: the carne asada tastes like home, the margaritas are some of the best I've ever had, and the vibes are immaculate. Seriously, this place is so good I went there two nights in a row, and the only reason it wasn't three is because my business trip ended. Go for the food, stay for the bar. You won't regret it. read more

We were eyeing Frank's Monster Munchies Cantina for lunch but we didn't make it before the 2pm closing. Instead we decided to come back later in the evening when they opened back up for dinner. The decor in this restaurant was so much fun and iconic. We were sat within minutes despite the fact that they were super busy. We were promptly greeted by a server that was so kind and genuinely seemed like she enjoyed being there. She informed us it was her first day. We ordered the following: Margarita Taquitos Chorizo & Egg Burrito Deep Fried Philly Melted White Queso The margarita was underwhelming so I ended up ordering a Corona. I didn't taste any tequila, just the margarita mixed they used to make my drink. The melted white queso was surprising. It's definitely not something I'm used to. The owner came by our table to check on us and she explained why her queso looks and tastes the way it does. It was not my favorite and I don't think I would order a queso like that anywhere. Now for the WOW moment of the meal. The taquitos stole the show. They were awesome! I would go back just for those. The filling, the crispness of the shell, and the toppings were perfection. My boyfriend enjoyed his chorizo and egg burrito and my deep fried Philly was so tasty. There were large chunks of steak and so much cheese! For dessert we decided to try the strawberry churro funnel cake. We devoured every last one of them because it was so good. This is definitely a gem and a must see if you are ever visiting the area! read more

Carne asada fries were outstanding. Recommend a side of queso to put them over the top!

Food is fantastic, service is great, excellent ambience, and the prices are very reasonable.

Awesome. Met the owner, really nice guy. I had the California burrito and it was by far one of the biggest, tastiest burritos I have had in many years. My buddy got Franks skinny bowl. He's a world traveler and a little bit of a food snob, he was blown away with the flavor It's a really dope restaurant. I can't wait to get back up there and try out the Fried Philly. read more

What a yummy restaurant with a mix of delicious food! Stopped in for dinner on a Saturday evening. The walls are covered with pictures and it's a casual style restaurant. We were seated right away and brought over water. We were also brought out chips and salsa. It was nice that the server asked if we wanted hot, mild or a green verde salsa. I can't handle spicy so he nicely brought out the hot and mild salsa. The salsa had great flavor! The chips weren't warm but no biggie! Just something I prefer. For mains we got the fried cheesesteak burrito and the chicken nachos. Hubs loved the cheesesteak burrito and he was born and raised in Philadelphia! The chicken nachos were also very good. I prefer a white queso but the queso on the nachos was still good. Also I liked the chicken a lot too! We got dessert to go and enjoyed the fried strawberry' cheesecake. Delicious! Overall a yummy place with good service and can't wait to go back to try more. read more

So if your looking for GREAT AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD come and visit. We had small nachos with chicken to start off with and they didn't skimp on the chicken! Wednesday is wing special 10 for $10 we ordered the sweet chili flavor perfectly fried and yall know I dont like slimy wings I didnt even have to ask them to be fried hard. Hubby ordered the smothered monster burrito with carne asada it was stuffed. Lunch is from 11-2 then they reopen for dinner their hours are correct on yelp. The waitress did a great job taking care of everyone coming in for that lunch crowd. Friendly staff, comfortable setting, and great music. They also will be expanding soon with a tequila bar I do believe next door. Will def be back. We had a great time thanks to Cholo and Theresa for having such a wonderful establishment. read more

Food was kinda bland. Service and everything was good. Just not what I'd call Mexican food. Mexamerican yeah

Went during restaurant week to try it out. Everything was delicious, carne asada fries were sooo good. I will return!

First time here, we will be back! Three awesome bands ( favorite 'Wayward Brigade') and surprisingly no cover charge. Great food, great service. Met one of the owners- Charlie who was very accommodating and reserved us a wonder table. You can tell he treats the employees well. He interacted with many guests during the course of the evening and made everyone feel welcome. Relaxed atmosphere, they were very busy at times but but never showed frustration. Did not hear one customer complain about anything. Very clean restroom (important to us.) Can't wait to go back. A great experience I am glad we went.Our server Blair made the evening truly memorable took great care of us and other guests during a very busy night. read more

Not sure how this place has 5 stars. Food is subpar. I ordered the Baja Fish Tacos and the fish looked and tasted like it was straight from the freezer section. The guacamole needed some lime and salt. The chicken wings were bland without any sauce (no salt, pepper, etc.) The food needs some love on the seasoning side. The staff and service were great. The ambiance was pretty chill. There are ceiling tiles with what appears to be mold on them. read more

Food is phenomenal! The carne asada fries transported me to San Diego and warmer weather! The steak had that distinct, tangy delicious TJ/Southern Cali carne asada flavor. The fries were thick and crispy! The toppings were abundant and the fresh homemade guac and salsa were family run/mom n pop touches that I live for! Charlie's "hot" salsa was perfection! Runny nose, hiccups and all, beware if spicy isn't your thing, try the mild or green salsa instead. All the flavor with less heat. My friend had the skinny bowl and devoured the entire thing. I had the La Chingasa, a Mexican mimosa rimmed with Chamoy/tajin & made with Jamaica juice, delicious. The food was so good, the atmosphere is so chill and family friendly, the decor is fun and eclectic, music is on the radio, the staff is friendly and the owners personally come out and greet each table. It's a dream come true for this family and it's great to see them flourishing in their new permanent home after years as a super popular food truck! Congrats friends! Can't wait to come back. read more

Good food, but didn't have too much flavor in the burrito bowl. I'll give it another shot. Tried it first without any hot sauce because I wanted to see how the meat was seasoned, very light in my opinion. Great service, didn't have to wait long for my food at all, and I went during the lunch rush hour. Not sure if the word has really spread about this place. Real chill vibes inside the restaurant and love the decor. Keep it goin staff!! read more

As a SoCal kid, this place was chingon and hit home. Excellent atmosphere and great food. Legit SoCal food, especially those Carne Asada fries and California burrito. Bonus win was the bar area, for sure gonna be back. read more

The vibe of this place is a fun environment. The servers are sweet. The food on the other hand wasn't anything special. I can't say I'd want to eat here again. Would be a good place to meet for drinks maybe but I wouldn't compare this to California cuisine. read more

From our waitress, to the food, to the owner, every thing was worthy of the 5 star review. Not pictured was my Skinny Bowl and my husband's Game Changer Krunchydilla. We enjoyed every bite and every conversation had. If you're not scared of new and innovative takes on classics then this is your place. Loved every thing and we will definitely be back! Noticed the owner had some pics on the wall with him and a few dear friends of mine (RIP SHAWN) so I knew he had to be a good dude. Keep up the awesome work guys! read more

Stopped by today on a whim and it did not disappoint!!! We got buffalo chicken fries which were spicy and creamy and delicious. Than we split a Philly chicken burrito which was surprisingly tender, juicy, and full of flavor also. Before we could leave we ended our visit with churros which were amazing, sweet, cinnamony, and authentic! We will be back and soon! (Unfortunately we forgot to take pictures.) read more

This Cali Mexican food is really good. I had the game change quesadilla and it definitely lived up to the name. My friends said the tacos were really good as well. The chef and staff are very friendly and welcoming. The place is clean with ample seating. I came back that night for the live music. The bartender was happy to make me mocktails as I don't drink. Great place, amazing food. read more

Love the super awesome monster theme! My husband had the carne asada taco and I had the taco salad with chicken! Both amazing and delicious and fresh! The salsa was fresh and delicious, too! The service was polite and friendly and added to the fun atmosphere:) Thank you for an amazing lunch date! Will definitely be back!! read more

Best food I've ever had. Loved how greasy the food was. You can't find good greasy food anymore. On top of that, the owner is a doll! Very polite, gets what you want, makes excellent suggestions. Food is all made to order. Music is great too. You e made a customer for life! read more

I love this family-owned business! My husband and I shared a choriqueso dip (yum!) and a fried Philly cheese steak with fries. Everything was delicious and the service was great. The owners are so friendly. We left with full bellies and smiles on our faces. We'll be back! read more

My husband and I have been trying all the Mexican places the past two months, every Tuesday, looking for the best taco Tuesday. I'm happy to say we have found our spot. Franks tacos were the best we've had. Flavorful, filling and fantastic. The service was personal and friendly. The atmosphere was quaint and welcoming. A family run restaurant with a solid community vibe. Looking forward to next Tuesday already! read more

No idea how this place has such high ratings. I stopped in recently and ordered the deconstructed elote and a burrito. The elote bowl was awful. The corn was completely covered in vinegar. The burrito had NO sauce on it at all so it was dry as hell. I had to wash every single bite down with my drink. Very disappointing experience. read more

From the moment our family entered Frank's Monster Munchies last weekend we were warmly greeted. Just like all the other reviews on here, we had an amazing experience w/ Charlie and Theresa especially the history of their family run establishment. Their son was also the chef! I really liked my fish taco and hibiscus juice. They even made sure to accommodate to us not eating meat by making the burrito with mushrooms and avocado. Charlie left us with great parting words about how my freshman daughter chose a great college near by. I felt at ease knowing a local spoke so highly of her school as well as the school security bc he has experience there with his food truck. I told him we'd make sure to come here every time we visit her at college for some great food! read more

Finally got there! Charlie & Theresa are great hosts and their food is yummy! Very accommodating and our server was friendly & quick to fill our requests. Great place to catch a quick bite, pick up your carryout or hang out for dessert. read more

Food was great. Service was great even while being busy for lunch. Will return. Great Place!!!!

As somebody from San Diego, trying to find a place serving Mexican food similar to what I'm used to is difficult. However, Frank's was able to give me just that. The restaurant itself is very similar to what I'd experience throughout San Diego county, and made me feel at home. Service was also top notch as we were consistently checked on. My wife had the elotes, and very much enjoyed it. I had the carne asada fries which came with the meat and fries both seasoned, this was delicious and we will definitely be back. read more

I'd been wanted to try this place out since I already knew their food truck and offerings. Very cool vibe in this place, very colorful with very cool art and photographs. This place is great for anyone who misses Southern California Mexican- they even have a variety of bottled drinks to include the Mexican Coca Cola. Which def tastes better in my opinion, and I'm not much of a cola drinker but wanted to try it. We got the loaded nachos and California burrito to share- which is a good amount of food so I'm glad we brought out appetites.staff is super friendly and attentive and the food came out fast and fresh. Super recommend this place and since they do offer carry out you can grab some even when you're in a hurry. read more
