frankie's mexican cuisine

this is the best mexican food i had so far!!!! it wasgreatand 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!

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 wantgreattexmex 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.

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 agreatday 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!!

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 beatgreatatmosphere,greatservice, and good food at those prices?

hidden gem?.greatlittle 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.

it was very, very good. the beans and rice hadgreatflavor, and the enchiladas had chili con carne over them. the serving size was not huge, but was a good amount of food. the salsa and chips served with the meal were great, the chips were light and crispy, and the salsa was dark

awesome food,greatservice, frankies is really a gem to have in the area. everything i've had on the menu from the mexican lasagna to the migas to the burrito ranchero has tasted excellent and been served in a timely manner. awesome

greatness. my husband and i tried frankie's tonight, we both loved it! i had the camarones diablo and my husband had clemente's enchiladas...both dishes were delicious. camarones diablo was great. the shrimp were cooked perfectly, the sauce was a nice blend of rich:spicy and the vegetables were perfect! my husband loved his clemente's enchiladas, with two eggs over easy on top of two chicken enchiladas.
the service was spot on and the atmosphere wasgreatfor our date night. we're looking forward to our next visit!

great service,greatfood.greatfood, very reasonably priced, and excellent service.greatweekend brunch. can't wait to come back for dinner. so glad we just found this place.
