frankie's mexican cuisine

frankie's has a very unique take on traditional tex-mex. but, is probably hands down one of the best experiences i've ever had. the food is absolutely amazing and the atmosphere is very relaxing.

this is the best mexican food i had so far!!!! it was great and the price are also unbelievable! the service was fast and the portion are big! i had the brisket enchiladas and it was great! it only cost me about $12! really you cant beat the price!

this is my second favorite for mexican cuisine after chuy’s!

loved the ambience, and staff were courteous too. ordered for fazita, and enchiladas. service too was really fast!

stopped in one week night when we decided we wanted something more than fast food. we arrived around 4 so we missed the dinner rush. guacamole was good. chips were good. generally everything we ate was good. service was fast and the place was immaculately clean. nothing jumped out and grabbed you and said you must come back but for the price you get a good meal.

i can't stand the thought of giving frankie my hard earned money.  i have known frankie and the rest of the family since 2003.  he sued his own family stemming from the family's restaurant amigos on belt line which is now run by a different group.  if you want great texmex food then please visit the restaurants in plano and north dallas named casa mama which is operated by the other members of frankie's family.

my friend is white and married to a black man. they went with their son to eat at frankie's mexican restaurant in richardson and were refused service because they are a biracial couple. they spoke with the manager who told them that he didn't need their business. they left angry and heartbroken.

after seeing our santa at willow bend we grabbed a bite to eat at frankie’s due to the good reviews on the site.

om: we went for a late lunch, around 2pm on a wednesday, and the place was pretty empty. the restaurant is tucked away from the road and easy to miss if you aren’t looking for it. the food was fine, but everything seemed so forgettable to me, but i will attribute at least some of that to the other memorable things we did throughout the day. any ways, i ordered some chicken enchiladas with sour cream sauce, a beef taco, along with the rice and beans. the chips and salsa came first, and while they were fresh, the chips were also very plain and needed a lot of salt. our waitress was kind enough to bring us a free appetizer thing, that looked like a tiny tostada? beans and sour cream, along with some kind of sauce on a chip. they were good! our entrée was delivered shortly after that, and everything was very appetizing. good amount of chicken in the enchilada’s, standard rice and beans were also tasty. their online menu showed dessert, but i don’t recall that being on the menu that we saw. i really don’t know what to think of the overall experience, as it kind of got lost in the shuffle of the day. bland chips, good entrée, standard service, awesome value, free mini-appetizer, menu discrepancies, high expectations. i would not go out of my way to eat here because nothing stood out, but would not be opposed to eating here again if we were in the area.

nom: what a great day for a late lunch!! the place was very empty but not a shocker for 2pm on a wednesday afternoon! it seemed like we drove on the outskirts of a few neighborhoods to get to frankie’s! if you’re looking for it to be right up on the road you will miss this place! walking in it’s a pretty standard mexican restaurant feel, nothing out of the ordinary. don’t get me wrong it was clean and well laid out just nothing that was a stand out. i ordered a cheese enchilada with rice and beans. ummmmmm…ok well it’s hard to mess up cheese enchiladas…but you sure can make them bland. and success! ok, so they were good but average just not something i’d drive out of my way for. the chips were good just not salty enough for me but if you’re on a low sodium diet you’ll be all set! i really liked their rice and beans tho! very tasty, i could have made nachos with them and been very satisfied!! they did send out a free appetizer which i didn’t try but it looked very yummy!! and our waitress was really nice and very helpful! if we’re driving by and hungry i would eat there again…especially if we can go to the ice cream place next door!!

simply fantastic!. our favorite tex-mex place hands down. puts mi cocina and cantina laredo to shame. their carne asada is the best i've ever had.

and this is how it's done - greatness. frankie's rocks. first, it sits in a cool little shopping area that has a quaint feel. as soon as you walk in the door, you get a sense of mexican ranch on the chaparral. the scuffed and exposed cement goes well with the rail fences and wood arches. the wood ceiling joists and random painted boards rounds out the look. the service is quick, efficient and polite. i was met at the door and seated right away. chips and salsa arrived as i was being seated. i really liked the fresh crisp flavor. i ordered my food and a drink. both were promptly delivered. drinks and chips were replenished as needed and without delay. i tried the brisket taco and really enjoyed it. two different people asked how my meal was. and to top it all off, i only paid $13 with tip included. how can you beat great atmosphere, great service, and good food at those prices?

not sure what the fuss is about. queso was too salty to eat, chips were very crunchy, and food we ordered was ok. nothing to write home about.

this place is really great! friendly warm service. intimate atmosphere. all the tex-mex basics are well prepared, however, the restaurant really shines on their specials. i eat here at least once a month. i strongly recommend the victor's enchiladas and the brisket enchiladas. skinny margaritas are also excellent. white queso is really yummy.

hidden gem?. great little neighborhood spot, tucked away in canyon creek (who knew?), but plan to go back soonest for good tex-mex. asked for something off menu (trying to eliminate wheat, corn and potatoes from my diet), and so asked for the fajitas w/o tortillas and got exactly what i asked for...excellent customer service and attentive by all. reminds me of the walnut hill/skillman mi cocina before they relocated in the parking lot, always attentive to every detail and every waiter/staff member was always looking for something to do...and the same is true here. exceptionally busy at lunch, and every patron gets a mini-tostada on the house.
hot sauce had a bite, and overall food was good.
great spot.

not the the best food around...but it will do.
staff is so nice, prices are good. atmosphere
very nice. food is tasty. really enjoy lunches here in the cute
area.

if you happen to try this place for a late lunch, don't expect attentive service. the food was yummy, but skimpy with the mole sauce.
