The best California burritos. Service is great even though they are busy most of the time. I keep coming back to this place. I wouldn't eat a burrito from anywhere else! read more

Online suggestions said to try the Carne Asada Fries, so I did...and they were right!!! I'm not typically a carne asada person because I feel it is usually under seasoned and tough, but Franks had the exact opposite. Great flavor and the meat was slightly crisp without being dried out. My only (small) wish was that it had come with some cilantro and onion on top. The green salsa was very flavorful and had a nice heat to it as well. Also ordered a single Al Pastor Taco. It was quite big and I ended up peeling apart the second tortilla to fashion an another taco. Sat at the tables outside and they were clean with some good shade and a nice breeze. I also had the passion fruit juice and enjoyed it so much I should have ordered a 32oz! Very happy with everything and I will definitely be back. read more

Frank's Mexican Grill - Carne Asada Fries - Mexican Near Me - Vista, California

Hands down the best Carne Asada Fries & California Burrito's in North County. Food is always amazing and service is quick and easy.

Food is good. What they need to fix is the cashier. Never has a good attitude or makes anyone feel welcoming. Food isn't that good to want to come back and deal with that energy the kid has. read more

I've driven by Franks many times and didn't stop in until today. I actually went to another place that wasn't open on time and decided it was time to give Franks a try! First good decision of the day! I got a breakfast burrito with ham, eggs, potato and cheese. Very good size, I ate only half and am saving the other half for later. Taste was hot and fresh and delicious. I tried the red salsa and it was pretty good with a nice zip to it. I got some green too but will that later. They have a full menu of Mexican food and also serve cheeseburgers which I've heard are really good. I'm def going back and will try the cheeseburger next. The staff there were friendly and the service was fast and I could watch them make everything. It's a cool little place with both indoor and outdoor dining options. Give them a try but don't wait as long as I did, it's good food! read more

See all

Frank's Mexican Grill - 5 taco special. - Mexican Near Me - Vista, California

Franks is really good for what it is- it's a 4 or 5 star hole in the wall Mexican place. The carne asada burrito or carne asada fries are really hard to beat! There's limited indoor & outdoor seating but they have it, a few tables inside & out. The salsa is really good both red & green. This place is somewhat of a local favorite & does good business. Parking lot can be a bit tricky getting in & out but no big deal. I will definitely be back from time to time as it's one of my favorite places to get a carne asada burrito. They have lots of other entrees, I've tried some of their combo plates which are also really good. Bottom line, if you like really good hole in the wall Mexican spot's definitely try this one it could be your new fav!! Happy eating' read more

California burritos are super delicious and the Customer service was great. Recommend this place 10/10

Love there food specially my favorite carne asada fries with Jamaica is chef kiss love it

I ordered their enchilada & burrito meal. It was as very good. Both were chicken and the chicken was as very tender and flavorful. The kitchen appeared to be clean as was the dining area. They have outside dining & private parking. There are many Mexican food eateries in Vista and this one is not on a main road, and yet it was busy in the afternoon. This shows me that it is a favorite of their neighbors. read more

Franks has some awesome breakfast burritos, highly recommend. The indoor dining space is limited, best to do take out. The parking lot is small, so be careful! The customer service is compassionate and friendly. read more

It's so good and the food is always cooked right i would highly recommend it. Every time i go there, its always so enjoyable.

The food is okay at best but I think I got scammed here. I ordered a combo for $13 and she added $5 extra when I asked if i can get an agua de Jamaica instead of a canned soda. I asked for the receipt but it doesn't show how much each item was. It only shows the total amount. When the food was ready for take out she forgot to give me my agua de Jamaica and I had to remind her. read more

I have gone here for several years. I have never ever been let down. The attitude is great. The friendliness is great. The cleanliness is great. Their food is great. Oh my God I wish they would open another one.! read more

This was my first time there, I checked the reviews but decided to try it as it's close to my house. The place is clean and I ordered the carne asada burrito, which says $9.90 on the menu above. I was asked if I wanted pico de gallo and guacamole? I said yes thinking every carne asada burrito I've ever had comes with that. My total came to over $12? So I asked why the price discrepancy and she said the pico de gallo and guacamole were extra, just as someone else on the reviews had mentioned. I thought why don't you just put the total price on the menu? The meat was good without fatty pieces but there was very little pico De gallo and guacamole inside. If you are going to charge me extra for those ingredients you better put a good amount inside, which is my reason for the poor review. read more

The food is amazing the staff is friendly, the place is clean and our food came super fast!

Big Frankie always comes through for me and my girl Asada fries hit and there not all greasy how others are ! read more

Terrible service. They will charge you extra for ingredients that should already be in the food you order so make sure to ask if its extra. In the end burritos are barely okay, better going off to an albertos. read more

I've been coming here for years, but it's hard to say that the quality has gone down today I got my usual carne asada fries and the Fries were so hard and stale every time i come here it's the same thing this was my last time here read more

Best carne asada fries ever, love the service and been going for over 5 years now. U wont be disappointed

Childhood spot best place ever can never go wrong with the carne asada fries! They are honestly the best specially with their red salsa! Plus the customer service is AMAZING!!!! read more

The food is ok but is nothing that really makes them stand out from other places. I think going to santanas down the road is better honestly. 1) Frank's has no drive thru 2) the carne asada fries only come with guac, cheese and sour cream 3) if you get a vegetarian option, you still get charged as if it came with meat read more

I work at North county Ford. We go all the time.... Always for there amazing burritos. Today I tried their American menu a double cheeseburger with french fries no joke that was one of the best cheeseburgers I've ever had they need to start advertising their cheeseburgers wow!!!!!! read more

The CA burrito was delicious. Highly recommend Franks! The owners are super friendly as well

Franks is great. Family ran and always very nice! I normally get carne asada items here.. so burritos, California burritos, tacos.. but the meat is just so good, tortillas are super good.. it's hard not to get. I've gotten fish tacos, rolled chicken tacos, adobada, carnitas, and a few other things. All of which are good. But yeah.. eat at franks, super nice people, super good food! read more

Okay, I've gotta be honest, I only eat one thing here and I'd give it 4 stars alone. The "Super Fries" at Frank's are just carne asada fries like you could get anywhere else but there's just something especially delicious about them. Although they only get a 3 star rating from me based on the customer service, cleanliness and bathroom facilities. The customer service isn't overly friendly, unless you're lucky enough to meet THE Frank. He's a jolly man, always friendly and pleased to see you. Otherwise the staff is pretty neutral. The cleanliness is lacking. I haven't noticed anything (that I can see from the register) that makes me nervous to eat the food, but the tables and chairs are often in need of a good wipe-down. That's okay, I'll flick someone else's cheese off the table myself, I guess. The bathroom is like a tiny closet. I have a hard time getting inside and around the door to close it. There are numerous etchings and other graffiti on the walls. They don't have a mirror above the sink, and the window doesn't have any kind of curtain or frosty glass to prevent any peeping toms. Sketchy! I'll keep returning when I'm in the neighborhood, but I won't go out of my way. read more

Great food & great people! Love the rolled tacos and also the mix plate (you get nachos & fries). Breakfast burritos are also delicious! 10/10 recommend this spot if you are in the area read more
