36 Best Mexican Restaurants near Franklin

“Been coming here since it was Cazadores. The food quality stayed the same. I personally love it. One of the best authentic food Mexican, moreso than El Toro. Can get busy on the inside, outside seating is nice in the summer with umbrella for shade. Although next to a busy road. Favorite dish is the El Vaquero bowl. Prices are fair. Especially the margarita pitcher.Parking: Only can access from one side of 73.“

“I went to order online just now and they are not accepting orders. Maybe they are just closed on thursdays, and I never noticed. But what if they are closing? I couldn't bear it. This is the closest taqueria to my house that doesn't have wheels on it. I need it to be open forever.“

“Tacos are very good. I've been a couple of times for taco Tuesday. The only issue is I order about 5 pm, and they only ever have beef or chicken they are sold out of everything else, so I've not gotten to try a lot of other things. I will have to try it out on a not so busy night when there are more options. I'm excited to try again!“

“1st time eating here. The food was fantastic. The young gentleman working was very kind and helpful. The portions were huge too. #1 new place to eat. One thing that is normally an issue with eating Mexican food is making the picky eaters in the family happy but I was able to do that here.“

“Mi Lindo Jalisco in Centerville is a hidden gem for Mexican cuisine enthusiasts. My wife and I frequently visit this charming eatery, and it has become our favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. One of the standout features is their incredible food. The street tacos are a must-try, packed with authentic flavors that transport you straight to the streets of Mexico. The birria is equally impressive, with its rich and hearty broth that’s perfect for dipping. Their enchiladas, smothered in savory sauces and cheese, are a delight for anyone who appreciates traditional Mexican cooking.The chips and salsa served as a complimentary starter are always fresh and delicious, setting the tone for an enjoyable meal. Another highlight of Mi Lindo Jalisco is their drink selection, especially the margaritas. They offer a fantastic deal on these refreshing and well-crafted drinks before 3 PM, making them both cheap and irresistible.Above all, the friendly staff adds to the restaurant’s appeal. They are always welcoming, attentive, and eager to make your dining experience memorable. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Centerville, Mi Lindo Jalisco is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic, delicious Mexican cuisine.“

“This is an awesome and authentic Hispanic Restaurant. Please do yourself a favor and make the trip to Genntown! (It is in Lebanon and off St Rt 42 near Walmart) You will really be happy you did. If you go Tues - Sat, ask to be seated in Tony's section. He is awesome and will treat you very well!“

“Nice change for Mexican food. Casual not fancy great for a quick stop. They have carry out & have sit down. It's a small area, but nice. The service of the server is great. I can't say enough about the quality of food was delicious. Definitely gonna stop again.“

“Everything about this place is just WOW! The hardest part is figuring out what to order from the dozens of mouthwatering dishes (with pictures!). During my latest visit, the piña colada was just perfect and the spinach and mushroom quesadilla totally hit the spot.Excellent food with exceptional service, lively decor, and entertainment all around - I continue to highly recommend El Trumpo!Vegetarian options: Spinach and mushroom quesadilla comes with onions and green bell peppers, a side of rice, guac, lettuce and tomatoes - delicious!“

“I tried the deluxe corn tacos yesterday. And so happy I did. I'm going back today and every day so I can try everything on the menu. The portions are filling and affordable. I would recommend everyone I know to go here. So authentic you won't regret it! Thank you so much for being so patient helping me decide exactly what I wanted . ❤️“

“This was my first time eating at Chiapas. The food was delicious. Our server, Priscilla, was interactive, knowledgeable, kind, and efficient. We really enjoyed her! The atmosphere was nice and clean; however, the music was a little loud where we were sitting, making it difficult to have quiet conversation. My only disappointment was not getting any tres leches cake because they were out ?. Otherwise, an enjoyable experience. I look forward to returning.“

“Awesomeness!!! This was my first time having Birria tacos in Ohio and boy was I surprised!! The tacos were full, tender and very tasty!! The consommé was very flavorful and oh so succulent!! The cashier/waiter was very friendly and the food came out really quick. The Hibiscus Flower Agua Fresca was to die for!!!! It was so good, I had to try a different one so I got the Cucumber Mint Agua Fresca and it was just as delicious! I will definitely be making this place a regular while I’m in this area.“

“Tacos are fantastic ?, and the frozen margaritas are super tasty ?. There are plenty of similar Mexican menus in the area, but Tres Amigos tops them all! We were seated immediately with a warm welcome as soon as we entered the restaurant ??. The staff was quick to take our drink orders, and they served chips and salsa right away, which was awesome—everyone got their own salsa bowl for double-dipping! ?? The waitress was on point with her timing, making our visit seamless. Our food arrived in just about 15 minutes—super quick! ? The atmosphere really added to our experience, making it even more enjoyable. ?? Highly recommend for a delightful meal!“

“We're not big fans of Mexican but really like "this" Acapulco. They are always busy, considering there are several other Mexican places near by, that are not busy. Typical menu, large portions served promptly. Better mixed drinks than most other places. Only 4 stars because the restaurant needs an overall refresh.“

“Everything I’ve had here is S-tier. We keep going back for the tortas, though. Even my super picky kids request them all the time - with everything on them! Also, the food is a great value for what you get, in terms of quality and quantity.The folks who run the truck are always super nice to me. I’ve paid before and after I get my food, which seems to depend on how busy they are more than anything.Definitely worth a try if you’re in the area - and worth the drive if you’re not!“

“This was my first time at this location. Many dishes to choose from, and the menu included pictures to make it easier to visualize and choose what to order. Food was very fresh and flavorful!Kid-friendliness: Family friendly restaurant, there were several families with children eating here.Wheelchair accessibility: There is handicap parking very close to front doors, and very accessible to get into the building and seated at a table.“

“We came in with a party of 4 adults and 3 children and were sat right away. Fresh chips and salsa came out immediately. I thought the salsa was excellent-- great flavor, and I did not think it was too "tomatoey" at all. The queso was great. The margaritas were on special and they are adorable--fancy garnish, little umbrella, and even had a light inside! Very cool! The food was delicious-- even good the next day! Portions were substantial. The tacos came out on a lazy susan, which was fun! Kids and adults enjoyed their meals. Not to mention, a nice ambiance. We debated if we liked it better than Vera Cruz! I'd say it's on par!“

“Food was very tasty, but the food was served lukewarm on an extremely hot plate. Only reason a I gave the lukewarm food four stars was because it was very tasty. Atmosphere inside was good, they played just the right music to go with the place. Nonalcoholic soft drinks priced a little too high first this area, should be $1 less.Parking: There is one large parking lot in front for all of the businesses and another in back for the restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair access to first floor only. Stairs to outside deck.“

“I have already reviewed Veracruz, but I just keep noticing more of the details that make the experience so good. The first thing that arrives at your table (or bar) is fresh salsa and fresh chips. That makes a huge difference in meal enjoyment. It sets the bar high for the rest of the meal, but also opens the pallet up to enjoy more of the subtle flavors of fresh food made with care. I suspect they use less salt or other flavor enhancers than other restaurants which allows you to really taste things. Also top shelf alcohol goes into all their drinks. Feeling good after eating and drinking well is the result.“

“The food was really good,, people are very friendly and kind ? I highly recommend itParking: Open lot with handicap parking availabilityKid-friendliness: It's a family business and will help with anything, children are welcome at any age ?“

“I had a great time, the food was fantastic. The service was great... Atmosphere was a bit quirky, it was like they were trying to oversell the murals on the wall... But I had a great time and the food 10 out of 10...My only regret is that I left my leftovers at the restaurant.But I digress very satisfied with my visit and I hope to go back soon!Kid-friendliness: My kids are very into chicken fingers and french fries, they accommodated that need.The chicken fingers and french fries were fantastic by the way.“

“I come to this place pretty much everyday I have to work since I work next door. This is quite possibly my favorite burrito place to go to since finding it. I always order the general tsos burrito with crispy chicken, no jalapeños, and whichever curly fry I feel like getting. I recommend both very highly, and honestly recommend this place just as much. If you do and get hooked like I do, get the app. The rewards and stuff is actually really worth it too.“

“This is an amazing little gem to find after moving from California and is a slice of home for my spouse. The food is authentic and so so good with great pricing. The horchata is the best I've had outside my MIL. The owner is so nice. The store is impeccably clean with a great atmosphere.“

“Moms! This is the queso and chip paradise of your dreams. Beers are good. They have a grilled Mexican taco (rec corn tortilla with shrimp) where you can get 1 to 3 to look like to ate something that isn't queso(girl dinner!). A chicken meal for your kids to share...and the husband can come too. Try it!“

“I stopped here for a quick to go order. I purchased the Carne Asada burrito. It was worth $10.50 as it was stacked with steak and lots of guacamole. The meat could have used more seasoning, in my opinion. The red sauce was awesome and helped with flavor. The green sauce was very good as well.“

“I always go to the location while in town to meet with my brother in law. This visit was uncharacteristically bad. Visited on a Wednesday and sat right down, but according to the wait and the staff you would have thought it was a Friday night. Hopefully they get some extra help aslnd this was a one off experience and not the new normal for this location.“

“Staff is usually super friendly and helpful.food is always fresh and delicious. I have stopped by late around 45 minutes before closing and they always tell you what they have available and what they don't at the door before you order, super nice people!“

“The food was ok, the ground beef taco and pulled pork were so greasy the shells fell apart. Half of our orders were not exactly as we ordered. But we did not say anything either. We just ate what we got. Our waitress was absolutely buried. Just average service, food and atmosphere.“

“I am happy a Moe’s opened here. I love this restaurant. Previously, the closest one was in Chillicothe. Now that this one is here, I’m going to save so much gas when going to get lunch or dinner.Vegetarian options: While I personally enjoy all meat, in theory, you could have a tasty meal here without any meat.Dietary restrictions: You can fit all diets at this place. Talk about inclusivity, everybody eats.Parking: So many spots. You can almost park anywhere.Kid-friendliness: My kids like this place, great food.Wheelchair accessibility: You can roll right in.“

“The crew was nice and fast! Absolutely no issues, the food was hot, fresh, and yummy! My family and I love hothead, We are from Arkansas and when we make a trip to or through Ohio, you can bank on us being at hothead!Parking: No walking the parking is next to building!Kid-friendliness: My kids are always welcome and the crew are always accommodating, even when they are ordering for themselves the crew is very patient with them.Wheelchair accessibility: This location has a nice wheelchair ramp for easy access to the inside.“

“My family of 5 went to dine in tonight for the first time. Every single item we ordered was exceptionally delicious along with fast and very friendly service. The server (who was one of the owner's daughters) we very friendly and so wonderful to my children. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone!“

“This is a great economical lunch option to Hot Head or Chipotle and unlike the Hot Head in Centerville who nickel and dimes every last addition to your order, they are very acommodating with extras to a reasonable limit. This specific location also has friendly, courteous employees and a very clean and well maintained dining area. I'm only knocking off the score a bit because they seem to consistently have hard, undercooked (or dried out?) rice mixed in with fresh batches and it's always a russian roulette whether I bite down on a rock hard piece or not. They also barely cook the fajita veggies to the point of them being nearly raw. If they fixed those two pet peeves, I'd happily give them 5 stars.“

“This place is in a run down shopping center but dont let that fool you. Everything was fantastic!! The employees were all very friendly and the food was authentic. I had the sopes and my husband had fried chicken, rice n beans. They serve the food with a homemade salsa verde and hot sauce which were tasty. The food was fresh and was served to the table quickly. We will definitely be back to try other items off the menu.“

“Very friendly, greeted when walked in. Answered questions I had happily. Great produce selection, great prices, quick and seemingly clean. Would happily return and plan to!Would’ve liked to see a larger selection of household products/cosmetic products.“

“Love this location! The only issue I've had is, my husband who is 90% blind, went inside to order today. He was at the front counter trying to order when the lady told him it was a kiosk only and pointed at the kiosk. Which is odd because the first time we visited this location, we ordered at the front counter with no issues and (I believe she was the manager) was super nice.“

“I love their chips and queso / chips and salsa. The dip trio is fun to get ranch and potato chips too.I've been a handful of times. It's def got a bit of an American/texmex twist on the food, and it's better than Chuy's in my opinion. My husband likes their nachos, and I always get the fajita burrito.Depending on the night they have live music which can be a bit loud, but also fun. They have additional seating outside, which is always nice too.“

“Favorite place to eat in town, it's ALWAYS spotless and the management is always polite. However the crew almost always has no personality and cannot seem to wrap a burrito to save their lives. it's insane that to get a decently wrapped burrito from Hothead BURRITO I have to go 2 towns over to get one. If you want a bowl definitely come here! if you're interested In getting a burrito in middletown, might as well go to chipotle.“
