    Create atmosphere, and amazing service! As soon as we sat down, our server brought us chips and salsa, which was delicious. The interior is creatively decorated and very energetic! I got the steak burrito (big as yo' face burrito) with Tex-Mex sauce, and it was delicious! It came with lots of sauce, which made it even better. The steak was cooked perfectly, and it was all around a great dish. Plenty of parking outside as well as an outdoor patio! My group had an amazing experience here, and I would definitely recommend it! I will definitely be back soon! Thanks, Chuys!

    I was in Franklin and wanting some Mexican (tex Mex). I saw some promising reviews here on Yelp but, after reading, it left little to be desired. I saw that there is a Mexican franchise (Tito's) which I had tried in their Bellevue location and it was a real disaster. I honestly wasn't even aware they were all affiliated until I saw the owner responses to each negative review and it was the same owner who had responded to my review from 2021. So I opted for something else. Chuy's is cheap and cheerful. Immediately seated and served. I used to get the Elvis special but, last time I got it, there was WAY too much food. So I looked and narrowed it down to either the tamales or Chimichanga. I got the most Americanized thing and got the chimichanga. I used their creamy jalapeno ranch sauce and it was very good. The beans were not really that good but the price was extremely right I could not complain. These Franklin Mexican restaurants are not very good. Franklin excels in most areas and restaurant types but Mexican is not one of them. I returned home to Antioch with a full belly and satisfied. Antioch still has the best Mexican in Nashville.

    Craving Mexican (not authentic) definitely would recommend Chuy's for a decent cheap mexican meal. To start most mexican restaurants just have complimentary salsa but Chuys not only has salsa but the creamy jalapeño sauce that I really enjoy. My go to entrees are typically #1 chicka chicka boom boom or #2 Chicken fajtias both are good. The service is typically fast, very family friendly environment . I've never had a issue with the wait staff, as they have always been helpful and friendly. Another plus about the restaurant is happy hour with complimentary nacho bar.

    So, if I could go 1/2 stars, I would have been good with a solid 2.5 for this Chuy's location...but since I can't, a solid 3 stars it is. And I really love the Chuy's brand, but this location has some of the most off-putting service I have experienced compared to the many Chuy's I have visited around the country. This particular Chuy's is located on Mallory Lane in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Franklin. It sits alone, which is a good and a bad thing. The good is you aren't caught up in loads of traffic getting in and out...the bad is parking can get real tight on a busy day and there really isn't a great option for overflow. There is ample spots, but on those busy nights, be prepared. As mentioned, the service has never been good here. I have visited for work luncheons, work dinners and personal dinners and each time I get the same variety of poor service. It doesn't matter what time we come, our server seems annoyed that we are there, and this is the same attitude we get each time we check in with the host stand as well. Our last trip in we decided to belly up to the bar instead of waiting for a table and man, do I wish we would have waited. The bartender was rude, never spoke one word to us outside of asking for our drink orders. It was bizarre for a bar. I will give it to them though, at least they are consistent in their approach. Food wise, I have sampled a few things from the menu including their enchiladas, burritos and tacos. I will say that the oven roasted chicken burrito with the Tex-Mex sauce is where it's at, all day long! The other thing that will keep me coming back is that white goodness aka creamy jalapeno dip! Could put that stuff on a sneaker and I'd happily eat it! Overall, this Chuy's would be a lot better with improved service. Outside of that, this location checks off the boxes for food and location.

    Nothing amazing, but solid. The service is hit or miss and the food is just decent. I do enjoy the margaritas there!

    Just tried their new burrito bowl. It's great, I do wish it would have been with white corn instead of yellow. Otherwise a nice dish.

I tried a flight of margaritas (4) which included traditional (lime), peach, blackberry, and mango. I am a traditional guy, but the peach won! My wife tried a traditional on the rocks and really liked it. The chili lime seasoning on the rim was a great addition. I ordered the fajitas Texanas which had shrimp, chicken, and steak. It was awesome, but way too much food. My wife had the cheese dip appetizer, fried avocado appetizer, and grazed off of my plate. Everything was fabulous. Our bartender and server were great. The restaurant was busy and it had a wait, but hanging out in the bar was a great choice. The wall leading to the restroom had autographed photos of celebrities that had been there. If you are in Franklin, Tennessee, Pueblo Real is well worth giving a try. We will stop in again when we are back.

We really like…read moreJalisco Taqueria (very authentic and not commercial), as well as Cinco De Mayo and Pueblo Real. That said, our favorite remains Garcia's Mexican Restaurant. Garcia's stands out for its depth of menu, daily specials, and overall value. There's a range of traditional Mexican dishes, but what really sets it apart is the rotating chalkboard specials that go beyond the standard menu offerings. On our last visit, we ordered a chalkboard special: chipotle chicken. It's not listed on the regular menu, but it should be. The dish featured tender, skinless chicken coated in a rich, creamy chipotle sauce, smoky, with just the right level of heat and excellent balance. It was served over sautéed peppers and onions, adding both texture and a subtle sweetness that complemented the sauce perfectly. The execution was excellent, restaurant-quality flavor without being overly heavy. Service was another highlight. Angel took care of us and was attentive, efficient, and genuinely personable, exactly what you want in a busy local spot. One more thing worth noting: Garcia's offers some of the best tequila values in the area. The selection is solid, and the pricing is noticeably more reasonable than many comparable restaurants, especially given the quality. Overall, if you're comparing Mexican restaurants in Franklin, Garcia's delivers where it matters most, flavor, service, and value. It's the kind of place that keeps you coming back, just be prepared for a wait, as it's always busy.

A few small downsides: The prices were a little steep for what you get. The cups were small, so we had to get up for refills-- and you bus your own table, which made tipping feel a bit odd.

Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and looking for something fun and flavorful! Parking is free and there is plenty all around the restaurant, which is always nice when near the Nashville area! We will be back for sure. I am already craving the fries again!
