Visiting from out of state, was recommended to give Franco's a try by some local family. Only picture I could get was after I cleaned and nearly licked my plate because it was DELICIOUS! Breakfast burrito: chorizo, egg, potato, onion, sour cream and cheese. Don't forget to put salsa for an extra kick of flavor! There's no question EVERYTHING is made with love. The staff are incredibly kind. We had the pleasure of being served by Berenice the first day, the second day we were greeted with a warm welcome back and hug as well as the third day returning. Tabitha made sure everything tasted as it should and was happy to see we returned again and again. read more

Delicious! Loved everything! Only thing we wish they had was real margaritas (they had canned, so we went with beer). The staff was friendly. The place was busy but we were seated right away. Authentic Mexican food! I had the enchilada, tamale, taco, rice and beans-all delicious! My husband and friends loved their meals as well. The chips and salsa was great! We would definitely come back if we were out this way again! read more

great food, got quesadillas with chicken fajita 10/10 recommend. Restaurant was also very clean

Hands down my favorite for Mexican in San Angelo. I've lived here when I was a kid and can still remember the delicious sour cream enchiladas. I came back to San Angelo as an adult and every time my husband asks where I want to go for breakfast or lunch it's Francos. They have the best chips and salsa and the breakfast is killer (ive tried the migas, machacada, guiso and chillaquinas). The chillaquinas are a must if you don't know what to order. For lunch sour cream enchiladas are hard to sway away from! The wait Staff is amazing. They are always so nice and run around the restaurant to wait on the customers. The food comes out so quickly and the drinks never run out! read more

Geart food all around, service is always good. The only drawback is that when they're busy, the noise level is so loud that you wind up having to raise your voice to carry a conversation, and everyone else is doing the same thing. Wear earplugs or speak louder. read more

Wonderful meal!! I ordered a beef enchilada & cheese enchilada (without coleslaw as a garnish). I am an enchilada connoisseur, and I can say these are top notch central Texas style enchiladas. Savory gravy like enchilada sauce, wonderfully melted cheese and the beef had a nice seasoning and consistency. The beans were great and so was the rice. Chips were Crisp, the salsa had a nice fresh flavor with a hint of cilantro. I asked for a spicy salsa and it was nicely spicy and flavorful also. Overall fantastic meal, and great service (server was Marcus V) I will Definitely be back!!! read more

Food fluctuates. Sometimes good! Very crowded. Not the best Mexican food in town for sure.

First time eating here. Great service from Alisha. I ordered Guiso which is tender stew meat well seasoned with onion, tomatoes, bell peppers in a light gravy in huge serving, I requested corn tortillas that tasted fresh made! I've been on a low salt diet so the rice was too salty for me, beans good texture but bland. Salad with too salty Ranch. Hot sauce is mild-medium. Good chips. Good guacamole. I didn't like the queso. Husband ate away. He had chicken fajitas were tender but needed more seasoning. Tea was ok. Overall, we enjoyed it. I noticed they are open every day open 10 am to 9 pm. Family atmosphere. Very small dining area and only one bathroom while remodeling. read more

My hamburger was soooooo good last time, that my husband ordered a cheeseburger for breakfast this morning. Yes, still the best burger in town. And huge! He was stuffed and saved the fries to make corned beef hash for breakfast tomorrow. I had the 2 eggs and potato plate covered with Spanish sauce and cheese. HUGE portion! That comes with a good sized serving of refritos and guiso and 2 tortillas. I focused on the beans, guiso, and tortillas... the eggs and potatoes will have to wait till Sunday for breakfast. Soooo much food for $10. I really liked the fresh flavor in the Spanish sauce, but i might skip the cheese next time even though it is really velvety melty yumminess (gotta save a calorie or two somewhere!) These are the best refritos i've enjoyed outside of my own kitchen. Not to heavy, not too salty, creamy with little bits of bean still in them. YUM! It is really hard not to like guiso and this one is very meaty; the small cubes of meat are super tender and the gravy is thick. Service was great, like last time. We were seated right away, gave us time to look at the menu, checked in with us, food was fast and fresh. Thanks, Franco's! read more

I have attended this spot several times and have never had great service, as a customer, i believe i am easy because i understand the struggles for a server. she only came to our table 2 times and it was to drop off our stuff.

I just had Franco's for the first time and it's now my new favorite Mexican restaurant. I had the enchilada plate. Everything was 10/10 and the service was great, not to mention very decent prices. I'll definitely be back! read more

I'm so disappointed what this place has become not sure if they changed owners or what but something was different. We visited Franco's cause it was my dad's favorite place to eat, the service was good however no one had good energy everyone look mad to be there. There was a worker (man) just watching us eat as if he was tryin to make it uncomfortable so we could leave. Unlike before. Trust me we are never coming back read more

Always a pleasure to visit here. Sometimes they are extremely busy and can't pay you 100% attention, however they do the best.

I recently went with a friend, he had the cinco nachos and I had the beef fajita salad. Service was great, chips were nice and , salsa had a little kick, thin like we like. Some nice updates to the ambiance. Friend said the nachos were good, but my fajita salad had just plain thin sliced plain steak in it. No beef fajita meat. This place hasn't been the same since new owners, by the way this same group has bought more places, and unfortunately when these type of businesses get new owners, the place never stays the same. So sad! read more

dunno why it has good reviews. the catfish wasn't anywhere near finished cooking, the queso was bad too. i admit, the enchiladas were pretty good. the Sopapillas were an extremely flaky croissant. i'm not from San Angelo, so maybe this is their best restaurant, idk. i'm from fort worth, i came because i'm showing my heifer at the stockshow. the service ain't the greatest either. read more

Franco's has one of the best, if not the best, chicken fried steaks in San Angelo. The restaurant is very clean and the customer service is great. Met up with an old friend there and had a great time catching up on what's been going on. I recommend Franco's to anyone coming to San Angelo. read more

Great place to eat! Food is always fresh and the staff is awesome! I love the enchiladas the best!

This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. The food is very authentic and plentiful. The food has a very "original" feel to it and not mass produced. The food also feels substantial, not like a light commercialized dish that leaves you hungry. In fact, my dining partner and I ate lunch there and weren't hungry until mid-day the next day. The location isn't great and there was some major construction last time I was there (Sep 2017) making it a bit difficult to get to , but certainly doable. The inside is very simple and basic. The seats in the booth we sat at were torn, so it is not a glamorous place, but the food more than makes up for it. You know when people say they love the hole in the wall place with amazing food and service? This is that place. read more

Overall pretty good Tex mex with friendly and quick service. The parking lot is full of potholes and gravel, so drive your biggest vehicle! We were a party of 4 arriving at lunch time on a Sunday, and the place was packed. We only had to wait for 5-10 min to be seated. Drinks, chips, and salsa were brought out immediately. Our waitress was very attentive and prompt with taking care of our table. Salsa was tomato based, not too spicy, and had a good flavor. Chips are thin and house-made. I'm not sure if we all ordered the wrong thing, but everyone at my table was a bit disappointed with their plates when the food came out. The chicken fried steak was salty. The breading was soft and thin- I think the meat was a bit tough too. Fries are thick and mushy. I ordered beef quesadillas on corn tortillas, which barely had any cheese to hold it all together. I ended up eating it with a fork because it all fell apart. The underside of the tortillas were super greasy too. Another person at my table ordered steak fingers. I heard complaints from her that they were tough and grizzly. Finally, the enchiladas had excellent flavor, and you get 3 when you order them, but no rice and beans. They come with cole slaw instead- I think you would have to order a combination dinner plate to get rice and beans along with the enchiladas. Anyway, I think service is great, and this is obviously a popular place so it would be worth another try. read more

If you like coleslaw as a side for your enchiladas, then this is your place. A beloved establishment in SA Menudo 5 Stars read more

Hubby & I wanted Mexican breakfast & this place hit the spot. I was happily surprised when they brought out chips & salsa, usually Mexican restaurants only bring them out for lunch & dinner. My hubby ordered the steak and egg plate & I got the huevos rancheros plate & I asked for one pork chop; I GOT TWO!!... not complaining, again happily surprised. The portions were huge & food was flavorful...we easily could have easily shared a plate. Steak was cooked perfectly & pork chops were thick; not thin like other restaurants. Owner, waitress & the guy who brought our chips were all upbeat with an inviting attitude welcoming us with a Good morning. Our waitress was attentive & making sure our drinks were refilled & that we didn't need anything else. So all in all, Franco's is a great choice for breakfast, we'll be sure & visit again when we are in town. read more

My wife and I stumbled upon this place while driving through San Angelo on a cross-country road trip, and we were NOT sorry we found them. Everything we had was excellent. We are from western North Carolina where good Mexican restaurants are a dime a dozen, but my wife and I both agreed that this was the best Mexican food we had ever had. Unique dishes, generous portions, and simply delicious food. read more

Great place! Small and crowded but with good reason. The food is excellent and the staff was great. Prices were spot on, especially the specials - $6.99 for a full meal, can't beat it anywhere. Only one thing - cold slaw on a hot plate wasn't too appetizing. The slaw was good, just wish it had been separate from the hot plate. I still give it 5 's because everything else was that good. read more

Great food great prices and great service. We go here so the time for lunch, maybe best lunch specials in town. Can't wait for the upgrades they are doing read more

When I want Tex-Mex food, I...sit and count down the days until I go home and can eat at Franco's. Sure there's this place in Pasadena called Taste of Texas, but I am become skeptical. (That's not bad grammar -- it's an "X-Files" reference.) I mean, who in the h-e-double-hockey-sticks puts taters on nachos? I lived in Texas for 23 years and I never saw anything like that. But Franco's. Oh my dear sweet Franco's. Oh how I loathe my family and friends when they talk about their regular visits there. Chicken fajita burrito. (With or without chili-cheese sauce.) Queso. Franco's Special (chicken smothered in cheese sauce). FAJITAS. Chips and salsa. I think I might weep. Is it Christmas yet? This is seriously my favorite restaurant in San Angelo -- the only one on my list of required visits. The more widely-known Fuentes and Mejor Que Nada -- while better than anything in the greater Los Angeles area -- pale in comparison. Sure, the others are fancy-pantsy with their fountains and their saltillo tile and WHATEVER, but Franco's is one of those great hole-in-the-wall joints -- the kind of place you can count on for good, authentic Tex-Mex food. You may have to wait for a table, but it's worth it. North Side San Angelo represent!!!! read more

Wonderful customer service! Our waitress was sweet, informative and encouraged us to share the large portions. She worked hard and had a great attitude! Water isnt filtered but it tasted ok with lemon added. Salsa is good - a little spicy for my personal tastes, but for spicy lovers it will be fine! Fast service. Fair prices. Generous portions. Caldo (de carne) was excellent. Nachos had a lot of guacamole. They also serve breakfast. After eating dinner there, the next morning my hubs went back to get breakfast tacos - they were equally as tasty! read more

It's a little hole-in-the-wall restaurant and it's amazing!!! I had the quesadilla plate with beef fajitas! It was soooo good and fulfilling. I would recommend this place 1,000 times to anyone who asks. My husband got the enchiladas plate and he didn't talk to me our whole dinner because it was that good! I wish I would of taken pictures of our food but it was too good to wait. read more

As an out-of-towner looking for a decent meal in a strange city, coming to Yelp was the logical place for me to look for food reviews. And Yelp didn't disappoint. On the strength of the mostly positive recommendations, our workgroup headed to Franco's for some Tex-Mex. First off, don't be put off by the neighborhood Franco's is located in. It ain't pretty. But I'm glad that our first impressions were wrong - this place was a solid meal at a good price. If you're looking for "authentic" Mexican, Franco's comes...close - but they cater as much to a generic palate as they do to a picky foodie like me. The meals were hot, LARGE, great flavor. And the slow service people spoke of was nonexistent. Our service was fast, friendly, and efficient. Not bad for a Wednesday night. Franco himself was at the cash register, gave me a free mint (they were marked $0.11 - an odd price), shook my hand. Told me they'd been there for over 22 years, and it's easy to see why. Recommend? Yup. read more

So yummy it good get the nachos it bed very yummy in my tummy got her I need more charictars in this review:(

Wow what happened to this place! We traveled from Dallas and ordered online and had our relative pick up the beef enchiladas plate for us. That's how excited we always are to have this food. Can't get anything close to West Texas Tex-Mex in the metroplex. WHAT the F happened to the food here? It was awful!! Even the salsa and white sauce was bad! We ended up throwing out all the food! Heartbreaker! I guess it's Henry's from here on out! read more
