Good and service are top notch. We go with a group - usually eight. Than can be tough but these guys have it down! Hint: designate someone to drive!! read more

Really terrible service. Took 2 hours to eat lunch during a time when the restaurant was not busy. Hostess was extremely rude and waiter really struggled. He kept forgetting to bring things to the table and had to be asked multiple times to follow up (which was hard because he rarely came back). My water glass was empty most of the meal. Food was good, with the exception of my friend's meal being incorrect twice. He ordered cheese quesadillas and received quesadillas with a bunch of additional ingredients. After it was remade, it came back with chicken and cheese. This place has a lot of potential but their service needs a ton of work. Judging by other reviews, it seems like that is kind of the norm. read more

Fantastic food!!!! Tacos were amazing, especially beef brisket and broiled Mahi Mahi (crispy)!! Sauces were devine, and service was soooo good! We just recently visited Franklin for Christmas. We picked this restaurant to eat at on our last day, before traveling home. So glad!! It was the best meal all trip. We would go back to stay in Franklin just to eat at this restaurant again! Will go there twice next time. Go!!!! read more

It's rare to find a Mexican restaurant that's not cheesy. This place is elegant and has excellent foods (and happy hour specials!) Read the rest of my review on my blog: http://forkfuloflife.com/2014/04/01/sopapillas/ read more

First time I came here I fell in love!!! I showed the server a pic in here of what I wanted and he brought it out (filet salad) charge was$17. My husband and I returned the following weekend bc we loved it so much! After a fair 45 min wait in a Saturday we were seated. Didn't receive very good service, and I ordered same dish as previously and I was charged the $17 plus $8add on filet. Last time the server just did a sub from ahi to Filet. $26 for a tiny salad is kind of crazy. I'm going to give it another chance bc I liked it so much but I hope that doesn't happen again. The server Had a few large parties so I'm hoping that's the reason for poor service Update. Went tonight on 5.18 contacted owner below with no response however I did give him late notice. Tried again to order the same thing as previously (same thing as last two times) and was told they could not do it on a Friday night even though other two times I came was a weekend. I just want the southwest ahi salad without the ahi and Filet instead but apparently that can't be done anymore which is just crazy considering it's literally a side salad and just a different kind of meat than the ahi‍. On the fence wether or not I'll give it one more try read more

Food - DELISH! Be sure to check in and get your chips & queso for FREE! I love these 'fancy mexican' places. The food it always delish - a great play on the classics. Ordered the stuffed poblano pepper. It was awesome! Ambiance - eh, OK. We sat at the bar. It was after the sunday mimosa / brunch... the place was kinda trashed and you could tell the serve staff were recovering from a busy morning. Despite that, I'd definitely go back. Unfortunately we were just visiting Nashville for the weekend, but would definitely stop if you're in the mood for good mexican food! (Wouldn't necessarily say it's authentic, but hit the mark for great food!) read more

Great food and nice atmosphere. Definitely recommend the blue corn enchiladas and the margaritas.

Great service and excellent food! Cool outdoor seating and setup! I would definitely recommend eating here with your family. The skillet nachos are amazing and their tacos are great! A different kind of Mexican experience! read more

This isn't the usual Mexican restaurant I am used to but it was still fun to try out. I got the steak fajitas here but they weren't any different from anywhere else which made me sad because I was hoping they would taste a little different since it's a bit of a fancier place. The food was ok but in the end I didn't like the sopapillas. I prefer the fried ones that are hard and crunchy. These were puffed up and soft. We had really great service and it was a good meal. read more

Y'all we just moved to town and haven't visited a lot of restaurants and none without the kids so this was a special night with my hubs. We were fortunate enough to be served by the most genuine gal named Kristen. She was delightful, prompt, attentive but not in your face. Her personality would've brought us back on its own merit but we actually enjoyed the appetizers we did have time to get. We only had 30 minutes. Bad idea on our part. So we have to try to actual food but here's a tip. If you eat meat, which I don't, order some because they buy their grass fed beef from a trusted local farmer 30 minutes down the road. Everything is very fresh and handmade everyday. I'd totally go back and ask for Kristen. She made us feel so welcomed even though I was in my workout getup.....next time I would dress a bit more put together. read more

Had 6:00 reservations on a Thursday. It was slammed but okay. Maybe taco Thursday is a thing now. We got seated at a camped table in the middle of the room where the tables were crowded together. Coming out of the pandemic it did cause me some anxiety. And hour passes. We had to remind the waiter to take our drink order (water and coke), had to flag them down to take our order. We didn't get alcohol. We didn't get appetizers. Our food still took an hour to get to the table. It was cold. We literally ate a few bites and then boxed it up. Terrible experience. The flavor was fine but if they can't manage their kitchen and overbook themselves is it worth it? Will not be going back for dinner. read more

Their bathroom was so bad only surpassed in poor quality by their food. After waiting for an extended period of time for our order we were informed they didn't have any hamburger buns. Agreeing to any kind of bread, the very conscious waitress told us they had no bread at all. I predict they will close soon!! read more

Love this place. Last night was my 2nd time to go there, and the food was excellent both times. The first time I went I had the blue corn chicken enchiladas which were great. Last time I split the dip sampler with my husband. He got the chicken burrito al carbon, and I got the mini chicken chimichangas and the Mexican street corn. The chicken is all white meat, very tender, and excellent quality. The cheese dip is awesome. It actually tastes like real cheese. Sometimes I never know what I'm getting with "cheese dips". The Mexican street corn has a unique, smoky flavor and is unlike any other I've ever had. The service is great. Our server last night, Angel, was very accommodating. I was freezing at a table right by the door and she moved us to a warmer area. She always anticipated our needs-bringing more salsa and drink refills before we had to ask for them. I'll definitely be back! read more

Went with a work team. Great food and location. The outdoor seating looks lovely (too hot for us). Most of us got the fish tacos, there was a steak fajita and salad as well. Would definitely come back read more

Horrendous service they act like you are bothering them from the moment you enter. They bring you your check before you even have a chance to order a second drink! read more

I went for lunch last week with some coworkers and we had a great time. The lunch fajitas were delicious. The amount of chicken for the price I paId was low which is why I'm only giving 4 stars. The service was good. The chips are very good and so is the salsa. I have gone for a Sunday brunch before and everything was delicious. We also went for brunch on Easter and it was not so good but I believe that was due to the crowds. My visit last week restored my faith in the restaurant and I will return. read more

Food was good, the salsa and queso were great. The limes were horrible, they looked gross and produced no real juice. I wanted to do margaritas but after seeing the limes I stuck to beer. The booths were just bad, you could feel the people on the other side moving around which was annoying to deal with the entire time and made it pretty uncomfortable. I'd def ask for a table next time. read more

The service by Ella was outstanding, and our meals were sumptuous, hot, and satisfying. For excellent ambiance, try to sit outside on the patio. The cucumber margarita was excellent- we will be returning. read more

I have been coming here for years and haven't had issues up until recently. Sopapillas, what is going on with the take out? Some days you do them, some days you don't? How can I plan like this? I ordered last Wednesday and my bag was missing chips. Not a huge deal. Ordered again last Thursday night and it was perfect. Then Saturday, I call to order again and they say on the phone oh yeah we can't do them on Friday or Saturday because they need the people who can make the to go orders to do other jobs. Last time I went I had a hard time finding a place to wait on my order because there was so many staff! Then this weekend they have take out available. The food is good and like i said i live in the neighborhood so i come in all the time but get some consistency! I'm glad to see it is busy but you can't just decide some days to serve people and some you don't. read more

We booked an 8pm reservation because we were coming to dinner after the Christmas concert at our church. At 7:45pm I received a text asking if we were still planning on coming for our 8pm reservation. I replied yes, we will be there in 5 minutes (7:50pm). When we arrived I mentioned to the hostess about the text we received and the hostess happened to also be the manager that night. She said she sent that text because the kitchen closes at 8pm. I am not sure why they would accept a reservation at 8pm if they close then. Nevertheless she sat us at a table and our waitress came over and was very abrupt and got our drink order. 2 minutes later she returned asking if we were ready to order and we needed a few more minutes. The waitress then told us that the kitchen closes at 8pm and it is now 8:10pm. This made us think that they could not serve us but then she went ahead and got our orders. At this time we have felt nothing but rushed and the waitress was very rude and did not make us feel welcomed. I then went to get the manager and explained that the text messages I received on the way there and the waitress' attitude did not make us feel wanted and that we were an inconvenience to them. The manager told me it was her first night as manager and that she was very sorry. Meanwhile the waitress heard me talking to the manager and she got upset and went to the table and started "mouthing off" to my 2 family members who were sitting at the table that by the time I got back to the table they wanted to leave. I then went to find the waitress to tell her that we were leaving and I heard her talking negatively about us to the manager and other wait staff. I told her that I could hear her and she got extremely defensive and rude with me. I just wanted to tell her that we were leaving so she could cancel our orders. The waitress and I went back and forth for awhile in which she disclosed she was having to close tonight and that her mental health is not great. She eventually apologized for her behavior and said she can bring our food right out. Unfortunately my 2 family members did not want to stay and we ended up going to a different restaurant. This has to be one of the worst experiences I have ever had at a restaurant. They should not have accepted an 8pm reservation if the kitchen closes then and should not make the customer feel like they are an inconvenience to them and treat them the way they treated us, being verbally irate. I am incredibly disappointed with Sopapilla. read more

Good little Mexican joint that is nicely appointed inside with a cute patio for outside eating. Menu offers a nice variety of unique street tacos ranging from several fish options to pork belly, carnitas & of course chicken & even lobster! There are many margarita options as well. The salsa has a kick to it and the chicken is a bit dry. The service is friendly but on the slow side. Moderate pricing. read more

I was very exited to come and try this place since Mexican food is on our top list. Sad to give them two stars but here is why. We checked in on what it seemed to be a slow Sunday around noon. Gave us a pager to let us know when the table is ready. We waited outside since it was a nice day. Several patrons came in and did not waited. Probably they had reservations. (I truly want to believe that) After about 15 min my wife went back in to ask about our table. They said it's getting clean and we got our table. To me it seemed they forgot about us. Now to the restaurant. Floors were full of crumbs and not clean at all. Table was also not really clean. They have a glass base with a candle. This glass base is really dirty. The food. This is not by any means Mexican food and the name on the dishes should be directing you more towards Tex Mex food. The salsa was very strong on cumin. Leaving a not so pleasant after taste. Chips from the bag. We had the trio dip as an appetizer. That was good. Guacamole was fresh. My carnitas were pure pulled pork. Nice presentation but all tasted sweet. The chicken quesadilla that my son had was good. My wife had a smoker with tamale taco and enchilada. All on the sweet side. Two stars for the house margarita which was pretty good and the dip sampler. Good place for a margarita. read more

Restaurant looked promising with the reviews on here and looked nice on the outside. Inside decor was nice. Music was wayyyy too loud. Service was okay. Girl was nice but not attentive. Chips were cold with no salt or flavor. Salsa was pretty good with a nice spicy chipotle flavor. We got the queso which was nearly cold when we got it but it came out quick. Got our food in good time. We got the chicken relleno and the blue corn chicken enchiladas. I was really worried when I got the blue corn enchiladas because it was neon blue. No food should be neon blue. I didn't ask questions just figured it was some weird gimmick the restaurant does and didn't eat the tortilla. Food was okay. Sort of bland and boring. Nothing to go back for. They gave us free sopapillas at the end which we took home and ate later. Popped in the microwave and added the cinnamon and honey to them. Honestly was the best part of their food we ate. read more

Food and drinks were great. However the service was VERY slow, which made it difficult to get drink refills and food in a timely manor.

Food was great as usual, I had the Baja tacos, two of them and of course a so-papilla as well when I finished the tacos. Wife had the tea-enchiladas, a few to many onions for our taste buds. Had a great time overall. If your in the area check them out. read more

Terrible service! And food sub par. Server could not describe the difference between two apps when asked. When food came he dropped it and never came back to check in. Drinks went dry as well. Sadly the server was standing in the station behind us carrying on with the other staff (they were not busy) but never thought to provide service. We both left food on our plates and politely paid the bill and left. read more

Real food that might have a touch too much heat (Hatch chilies) for some but not for us. Killer house margarita. Try the 3-way dip with the very thin, non-greasy house chips. We also recommend the Sunday brunch. It is traditional but with southwestern twists that keep it from being predictably boring. read more

Honestly just barely okay. Service lackluster, food uninspired. The chicken fajitas tasted like hospital food - no salt, no spices, really no flavor at all. Likewise for the beans - could have used salt and seasoning. The only things that were good were the salsa and the house-made flour tortillas. Everything else was just going through the motions. And missing most of them... read more

Was really impressed with the food. The salsa was really good and I had the smoked pork green Chile enchiladas which were excellent. Definitely a step above the typical Mexican restaurant read more

Stopped in after an on-the-road Yelp search. Sunday special? All day Happy Hour. I ordered a house marg since they were only 5 bucks. It tasted like a house marg. *shrugs* The check-in offer was a dip sampler(guac, bean dip, & queso) so I dug right into the guac. Pretty tasty. A little on the tangy side for guac, but I still enjoyed it. The queso was really good. I didn't try the bean dip in an effort to save room for my tacos. The lobster street tacos caught my eyes while browsing the menu, but they were out so i order a shrimp and the mahi mahi tacos. Both were good. The shrimp had a little too many ingredients holding back from being great though. I have to say, i really really enjoyed the atmosphere here. The music, decor, and the amazing bartender Connie. You could tell she was a favorite, she was super sweet, almost everyone at the bar seemed think the same thing. A guy at the bar recommended the Sopapilla, but I was stuffed. I'll try it if I make it back by the end of the week. This would be my hang out of I lived here. read more

Only 4 stars because our server forgot to put our order in (they were really busy at the bar)...BUT she made up for it and was super nice about everything. The food was perfect.

I don't normally have Mexican food in upscale Mexican restaurants. Sopapillas is an exception. Everything from their tortilla chips and queso and tableside guacamole to the entrées of combination dinners and Taco choices are all excellent. We found sopapillas on yelp reviews. We live in Oklahoma travel to Charlotte North Carolina a few times each year and have made this restaurant a stopping place on each trip. read more

First time there. Walked in and the aromas were promising. Chips and salsa were good and got a small order of guacamole which was very good as was the salsa. Our server, Vanessa was attentive, not overbearing and checked back the right amount of times. I ordered the enchiladas Del Mar. From a recent PBS show they were supposedly a very popular dish. I was disappointed. The sauce on top was orange and honestly tasted like melted Velveeta. The enchilada filling was supposed to be lobster, crab and shrimp. It was mostly rice, a few smattering of beans and I couldn't even make out a whole shrimp in either enchilada. There was some shredded crab but I never saw or tasted any lobster for the overpowering cheese sauce. My husband had 3 street tacos. He had pork belly, brisket and carnitas. He said the brisket was very good but the pork belly one literally fell apart in his hand so he had to eat it with a fork but said it had good flavor. I really wanted this to be a place we would frequent, but not sure I will be back. read more
