There was a reason this Mexican restaurant came up as the number one place for such food in Niles…read more Two other people were waiting for the doors to open when I got there. You order at the counter and the food was ready very quickly and brought to me at my table with both a roasted and green salsa bottle. Very nice because of always ask if they have them if they had not brought them. I ordered a 1/2 order of chicken enchiladas in green sauce which came with rice and beans. Generous portion for a 1/2 order. I also ordered a steak taco Mexican style on corn. Everything was very good and I also thought it was nice that they make their refried beans using Northern beans. Something I really like and have only found at one other Mexican restaurant in our area.

You order at the counter and food is served out to you as it is prepared. Many other great items here, though I adore tamales and theirs are just nothing special, often a little dry.

Definitely worth the stop!

He loved all but he said the pork was outstanding Because the meat was so tender and flavorful! Frankie's gives you delicious chips and salsa, the salsa can be a bit on the spicy side for kids just as a sidenote ! They do have other options available, though. Every time we come here, Frankie's tacos feels very nice and clean, and the staff is always extremely friendly! We will be back again !

Ohhhhhhh tacos tacos tacos…read more San Marcos, I missed you. Please never get burned down again. We were treated to Mexican delights on a Saturday night with my mom and her significant other, and it was as good as I remembered. The menu is limited (it always was) but the space is a bit brighter and cheerier. No more dingy booths, now it's all tables. There is waitress service and you get chips and warm, VERY spicy salsa roja and a delightful salsa verde. We were also issued a bowl of some freakin' fantastic guacamole, which was complimentary but I'm not sure why. :) We ordered tacos (I got al pastor and steak), flautas, and the man-friend got a burrito that was enormous. You can get rice & beans as a side if you like, though it's not on the wall menu. If there's something you want, just ask -- they probably have it or can make it. The meat is super-tender, everything is fresh and tasty -- my only small disappointment was the refried beans, which didn't strike me as all that great. But no matter -- we devoured everything else. Since it was my mom's treat, we didn't pay, but I know the prices are low and the food is some of the best Mexican in town. Which actually is saying something, believe it or not. P.S. Pro tip: If you don't feel like parallel parking on Main St., there is a lot behind San Marcos and you can go in the back door right to the restaurant area.

If you have allergies proceed with caution. This place can be great when they get the orders right…read more Unfortunately, there isn't much attention to detail when it comes to things like allergies when they're stated. I had two different burritos remade today because they each contained dairy even after stating a dairy allergy. The first one had sour cream on it. One of the people at the restaurant stated they didn't realize that sour cream is dairy. The second time, they re-made it there was no sour cream, but it had cheese inside. Just something to note if you're going there with any kind of food allergies. I've been here a handful of times and there's often this kind of issue unfortunately.

I spent most of my birthday this year on a plane. We did eat a late dinner at Huck Finn in Oak…read moreLawn, Illinois, but my parents wanted to celebrate my (and Marlene's) belated birthday(s) with, well, Tom and Marlene, so my parents asked me to pick a spot. I love finding good places that Tom and Marlene haven't been. At first, I thought this was the Mexican restaurant on the south side of McKinley Street, but that one is long gone. I believe it was was called Cancun--or was it Acapulco? In any case, we drove separately because Tom and Marlene had some of their typical do-gooding to do, and I was a little surprised at how late they were. Well, they had gone to a takeout version of Puerto Vallarta (the same business?) located near where that other old closed Mexican restaurant was, but on the north side of McKinley. In any case, Puerto Vallarta--the real one tucked way behind a secret strip mall with this weird fire lane between the first line of parking spots and the storefront curb itself--is a great place. The menu is pretty vast for a sit-down Mexican restaurant in South Bend, and it's not just different versions and combinations of the same items, although you can seemingly get anything as part of a combination plate. The service is excellent and attentive. It was very busy when we came, and we were seated right when a lot of other people were seated, so our food did take a long time, but it wasn't ridiculously long, and our server continually stopped by to let us know what was happening and to refill water and complimentary chips. There are two or three dining rooms total, and we were seated in the one to the right as you walk in the door. I'm glad we weren't seated in the main (?) central room, because that's where they had a speaker on one of the tables playing music very loudly. I thought this would annoy me, but when you're in one of the other rooms, the music is at a reasonable volume. I guess their method is cheaper than actually installing a sound system throughout the restaurant, but I don't know who actually sits in that main room, because it was empty when we entered and had only two parties dining when we left. There was basketball on the TV when we were here, but the volume was turned off, and they have what looks like an antenna service without an actual antenna, so the broadcast was constantly dropping out for long periods during the entirety of our dinner. I wasn't interested in watching, so I didn't care, but if you're coming here to watch a game, you will be torturing yourself. Our dining room was festive and fun. It was also reassuring to see so many Latino families eating here and to hear them speaking Mexican-accented Spanish. I grew up in Southern California and have lived in the Golden State most of my life; I never judge a Mexican restaurant by who's eating inside it at home, but in the Midwest? Yup, Mexican restaurants get the same treatment as Chinese restaurants everywhere: The more Chinese people you see eating at the restaurant, the better the restaurant. It's also nice to see how many more Latinos there are in Michiana than when I lived there.

The burrito was excellent and so large i could only eat half taking the rest home. The level of spice was tame for my t.aste but really helped the shrimp to shine. They also offered chips and salsa as an appetizer and they have become a favorite of mine. For drinks they have both fountain service alco with imported Mexican soft drinks in real glass bottles including imported Coke made with real cane sugar. While i have never tried them the menu has a long list of normal American diner food. Service was fast and effecient but can get a little slow during mealtime rushes. Prices are in line with current costs. They do have a chalkboard of daily specials. The buildinng is well kept and the inside has a real hometown look and feel. You have to look for it but it is worth the trip.
