Comfy and colorful restaurant! I had a cappuccino to start with which was delicious! Then I had a oxtail and curry chicken combo with coconut rice and peas, and plantains, and yummy coleslaw. The con, the menu didn't have prices. I felt like it was super pricey! Service was good. We were not aware of getting charge gratitude tip for a large group at pay so I tip her when I paid. Didn't realize till I received my receipt... Just for future reference that should be stated...

We drive over 2 hours for Francisco‘s food. Amazing staff and Customer service! We get the oxtail with coconut rice and either the jerk, chicken tacos or the fish tacos. We always get the meat cheese and plantain empanadas and more to go and the owner makes them fresh for us everytime!! Would highly recommend! 10/10

As a Jamaican I love Francisco's because on days when I dont feel like cooking; they are my go to option. They owners Don and Lisette are nice people. Jody who is the Cashier/ Server etc is very patient and she gives you an honest opinion about the options; just in case you are not sure. Rochester is blessed to have them.
