The only thing that spoilt the night was a family with 2 screaming children on the table next to us,hard to talk or enjoy your meal whilst that's going on.Seemed the parents were unable to control them.

Good food, excellent events, and friendly people. I highly recommend the seafood enchiladas. They are a favorite. There are also many margarita options available. I highly recommend the fresh squeezed. There are always food and margaritas specials as well.Dietary restrictions: There are lots of options if you have dietary restrictions. If you have questions or need a modification just ask.Parking: Parking is in the lot adjacent to the restaurant. When the restaurant is full, the lot is as well.

This used to be one of my favorite local restaurants and the margaritas and friendly atmosphere at the bar really were the best! I have been an over 10 year loyal customer but sadly no more. Over the last few years, staffing has really changed and things are consistently gone down hill. Our last visit, last week, we had two full margaritas that tasted like water and after two fulls we should have known if there was tequila in them and there definitely wasnt! The bartenders were slow to get attention and order food, the street tacos were very dry and not tasty, and we did not receive some of the food we ordered. I am super sad to say that I don't think we will be returning again as this visit was really the last straw. I miss the old Franklin Inn!Update - I have edited my review as the owner was very responsive to our experience. We will return for another try and hope things go better.

Honestly, one of the best Mexican restaurants around. The staff understood the celiacs concerns we had and made recommendations accordingly. Food was prompt and delicious and GF. Definitely plan to make the trip for another round of grub!!

Best Mexican food in the North Hills, hands down! Always great service and good drinks too. Take the family for dinner, or sit at the cute little bar. Great spot!

The beginning of the night went well when we were seated sooner than the quoted time. This was a birthday dinner, and I had been between Billy's Roadhouse and Franklin Inn. Having heard so many incredible things about Franklin Inn - and having been to BR before - I opted to go with the Franklin Inn. I ordered a pineapple hibiscus margarita to split with my mom and, when asked if we wanted the half or full, responded "half." My mother also replied with "half." The waitress brought out a full and when I asked about the sizing (mainly because I wanted to know what the "full" looked like if she brought us the half), she stated it was a full and that that's what she had written down. My dad and brother both replied we had said half but that it wasn't a big deal. Server errors happen, but ordinarily, when the customer orders a half size, but is brought a full because of said error, the lcost should reflect the half order; it did not. While this wasn't a big deal, the lack of attention, combined with the insanely under seasoned and flavorless fajitas made for a very underwhelming experience. I am not sure if the veggie/portobello fajitas are supposed to be served the way they were, but they tasted like they had been boiled in water straight from a bag. No salt, fat, acid, or heat. It was a truly disappointing experience, but I am hopeful it was a fluke and would return - but would not order the veggie fajitas.

For someone who doesn't enjoy Mexican food, the taco salad was to die for. Definitely worth the over hour wait. The service was so friendly and on their game. Cute small restaurant, definitely know what they are doing
