Wow, it's been along time since my first review. Eight years, time flies. This place is fantastic. The owner is great and the staff is grade, my absolute favorite place to go in Northern, Nevada.

If you have any idea what Mexican food is you would not eat here. Better to get some random bean dip at home and enjoy. This place is embarrassing.

Very over priced!! I ordered a burrito with extra meat and the total cost for my one burrito was $25.00 and then there was no extra meat. Don’t waste your money, JJ Mexican is way better and prices are reasonable

Francisco's is about the best restaurant in the Gardnerville/Minden area. The food is authentic Mexican/American food full of flavor and always served hot, promptly, and with a smile and some friendly bantering. The service is outstanding. if you're dining with Adults only, I highly recommend eating in the bar. The bar atmosphere is relaxed and filled with adults there for dinner and a margarita. Ambiance is that of dining on a patio during a fun Mexico vacation. Great food, fun, and laughter.

The food has great flavor! Always friendly service. Best place for Mexican in town, hands down. Anytime I'm around, I make a point to eat here.

Managing diabetes with diet and exercise, I always judge a Mexican restaurant by the flexibility of the cooks. I can't eat rice, beans, or tortillas. I wish I could, but that's life. I usually get a Fajita's or Carnitas plate and ask for lots of extra vegetables, cream, cheese and guacamole. A bad restaurant will bring me a plate with normal portions of meat and vegetables with empty areas where the rice and beans would have been. I usually leave hungry. Francisco's chefs and servers get it. "The customer needs to eat." The carnitas were SPECTACULAR and covered 1/3 of the plate. The other 2/3 of the plate was a salad with great salsa and really tasty fajita veggies with onions. The server checked on me 3 times to make sure I was happy. I asked for some sour cream and they brought me a bowl with 1/3 cup in it. I would have liked guacamole - if I had asked, they would have brought it. Great place!

Such a lovely atmosphere in this place. Staff is kind and service was good. I have eaten here 3 times and to be honest it was ok. The food was very blan. I never add salt to anything, especially mexian food. I had to add salt. So the food was very blan to me. Others love it..
