Frankie's is consistently good. with a wide variety of food, but the best is it's Mexican food. There's generally a way to get in depending on what time you get there. They close early, so don't plan a late night. My favorite are their shredded beef tacos. they're full of meat and delicious. But all their food is good. Recently, I had their chicken fried steak and it was awesome. I recommend you going there for breakfast lunch or dinner. They do have a lunch special, but I believe it ends at 4 o'clock. The wait staff is not exceptionally friendly, as they are always busy, but the food is well worth it . read more

We always stop here when we visit El Paso. The best huevos rancheros (they are spicy!!) at a decent price. They get busy so sometimes there is a wait, but worth it. Come before 10 to avoid the rush. Good hole in the wall with good staff!! read more

Franky's Restaurant - Huevos Rancheros - New American Near Me - El Paso, Texas

The food was better this time around, but their Franky's version of Arnold Palmer was awful, Literally watered down tea with a lemon on top (and by that I mean you'd only know it had tea in it because of the color). For the almost $4 for the drink, it was a waste of money. We had 3 or 4 different people try to take our drink order, and just like last time, we were seated by the bathroom hallway. This is definitely a place retired locals enjoy and man, do they get loud. The biscuits were good, so no complaints this time. read more

It's funny how easily you can forget about the gems hidden just off the beaten path. Franky's, tucked away from Montana Avenue for years, had completely slipped my mind. Thankfully, a friend's casual mention rekindled the memory. I took my mom there for breakfast after church this Sunday, and it was like stepping back in time. The same low-key, unfussy atmosphere greeted us, along with the comforting aroma of home cooking that I remembered so fondly. Franky's hasn't changed a bit, and that's precisely what makes it so special. If you're looking for genuine, unpretentious food made with love, and a place that feels like home, do yourself a favor and go to Franky's. You won't regret it. read more

Food was delicious! I had the picadillo & I enjoyed the oatmeal as well it was made perfect just to my liking. The server was attentive, courteous and friendly. The restaurant is cute, clean and sociable. Enjoyed our breakfast time there as we were visiting from our of state. Thank you read more

After a long trip out of town we had to stop at Franky's. Our food was delicious!! Even though they were packed service was wonderful! I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Franky's Restaurant - Small Mexican combination- 1 ground beef taco, 2 red enchiladas with cheese and ground beef , beans and rice. - New American Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Best Huevos Rancheros we have found besides Homemade. The sauce has good heat and flavor.

Went in during lunch and it took more than twenty minutes to get our order in. We had to get the attention of what I believe was the owner to have a server come to the table. The server attended to us once, as she was also the cashier. Apparently, the owner cannot work the front, as she told us when she apologized to us for the inconvenience. On top of it, the servers can act rude depending who waits on you. The food took another thirty minutes as there was "a backup" of orders in the kitchen. Ordered a Franky's Medium Combination Plate which included a taco, red enchilada, chile relleno, rice and beans. It was ok. Down the street of McRae is Gabriel's which has better Mexican food and a more organized infrastructure. read more

Update! Food is still amazing. Inflation has hit, a is reflected in increases across the menu. The website hasn't even been updated as if this posting with the new prices. Every food item is up by $1.50-$2 or so. So my $15 lunch in the past cost me more like $20 today. Plus tip. Service was quick and efficient, they wore masks and sanitized tables and hands frequently. Some nice old jazz and big band music from the 40's playing, light conversation at the tables around me, nothing very loud or boisterous. A nice Tuesday lunch hour spot. They have daily lunch specials of tacos or enchiladas for $7.99, that's also an increase from the website price. But these mom and pops gotta do what they gotta do to stay open. Still have "now hiring" signs and also in the website. They used to have this place full of teen boys on Saturdays bussing tables and taking tea to tables, and carrying order trays Always thought they must be sons, nephews, etc., Guess they have grown up now and moved in to other jobs or places. But you still get a "family" vibe when dining here. read more

Always go to Franky's when I'm in El Paso. Good food at a decent price. Typical wait length as they make it to order. The space is a small family run restaurant in a strip mall off a very busy thoroughfare close to the airport and Ft. Bliss. I always get the rellenos but the menudo looked delicious so will need to order next time! Just wish the tortillas were fresh made. read more

Whenever I'm visiting El Paso, stopping by Franky's for their huevos rancheros is an absolute must!! This is the definition of a flavorful breakfast. If you've never been, you must check them out. Their food is delicious, affordable, and the service is always excellent. read more

Franky's Restaurant - Smothered chicken burrito - New American Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Went here recently for lunch, and was happy to discover another "hidden" El Paso gem. Like many other awesome restaurants, it's not all that fancy on the outside, and would be easy to pass up if you weren't going there specifically. Very friendly staff, very old school decor and vibe. I had the Franky's Medium combo which was a cheese enchilada, taco, chile relleno, and rice & beans. It wasn't the best I've had in my life, but it was really good. Everything else about the restaurant, plus really great Mexican food made me give it five stars. read more

Excellent covid precautions & and wonderful food! The huevos rancheros were very savory. I had mine over easy and there was even a corn tortilla layer at the bottom. I enjoyed the plate with beans and hash browns. Tables were separated with enough room to maintain distancing and the staff all wore their masks properly. I highly recommend Franky's and will be eating here again read more

Good menudo. Good service - priced very reasonable across the board... sometimes rice maybe bit salty

Door is shut and they won't answer the phone at 3:10 pm after I called twice. I saw a few customers and walk away. No explanation posted on door although signs all say "take out" read more

We love Franky's menudo! The service is great and the food is always delicious. We highly recommend Frankys.

As soon as you walk in you are greeted with a friendly atmosphere. The service was decent but we did go during lunch time. Prices were reasonable around$8-10 a plate. We ordered the special red enchiladas. Caldo de res, menudo, shredded beef gorditas and chicken flautas. The food was served warmed. The flavors were very tasteful. The portions were good size and enough to share. read more

Good Food if you can tolerate their rudeness can't really complain about the food but the service lacks I thought it was just me on one occasion but we continue to get lousy service. Yes the food comes out in a timely manner but "can you put a SMILE on your faces?" "After all we are a paying customer" Not greeted and comments like being ordered around such as "Have they taken your yet" "What do want to order" We've complained to the owner and her reasoning is they've had a long day at 2pm Today we had the owner look at us with her nose up in the air I get more friendly service at "Don Jose" and sorry you've been replaced. Your food isn't worth the rudeness we experience We do tip very well other restaurants do appreciate our business read more

We had a great lunch here while visiting family. Cozy breakfast/lunch spot with a hearty meal after hiking in Huecos Tanks. I had the special - 3 cheese enchiladas with red chile ,(7.99!) and a cup of caldo de res. Both were excellent! My husband had to huevos rancheros and he said they were very good. We are from Indianapolis and can't get huevos rancheros like that in Indianapolis. Staff are friendly, welcoming, and attentive. read more

Good food. Homemade taste. Menudo & pozole served all week Get early. This place can get packed. read more

Being new to El Paso and a total foodie, I'm always on the look out for the best restaurants around. After months of driving by Franky's and seeing the large parking lot almost full and often times a line out the door-I knew this place was me. Finally, the stars aligned and I was able to indulge in the best tasting breakfast I've had in El Paso! Soooo good!! The service was equally as good. Sylvia greeted everyone at the door just as if you were dear friends and she was welcoming you into her home. Rachel & Hilda were fantastic servers, as well. (Both with smiles that will light up your day!) Wait there's more...the salsa-OMmmmmGoodness! After reading about how delicious the hamburgers are, I can't hardly wait to go back. read more

Franky's Restaurant - New American Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Great food. Enchiladas are amazing. Also try the tampiqueña stk delicious. Great service and family owned.

Lofted atop a figurative mountain of prestige, you will find Franky's - a shining beacon of elegance and civility thankfully illuminating us all with it's grace. The menu reads like Thoreau charmingly smooth talking the guards of a Mexican prison after a botched trip to Tijuana. The ambiance is thoughtfully decorated in the Tex Mex Baroque style (hanging strings of paper flags, old non-functioning television sets strune about, padded tablecloths, ect.) If you are a devout follower of the Tex Mex doctrine, you must make the pilgrimage to this establishment - the Saint Peter's Basilica of Texican cuisine. I recommend the "Hamburger Patty Cottage Cheese Peaches Salad." read more

One of my top 5 mexican restaurants in my hometown of El Paso, Tx. This gringo's been to over 100 mexican places in El Paso. breakfast is my favorite meal here. Have the huevos rancheros. It's the BEST breakfast dish in El Paso! Their flan is El Paso's BEST flan. read more

Fantastic hamburgers!!! We came here for lunch and I had an avocado burger. They really know how to cook their hamburgers and the buns. So delicious! read more

As a native El Pasoan, this has been my favorite Mexican restaurant. Over the last few years the service has declined, but I'd continued to go. When my out of town family members come into town we'd go, they would combine tables, and the slow service was overlooked, as we would visit and enjoy good food. Well today was my last attempt going there. Had family in town, and that was where we were going to have early dinner at 4:30 as they said they were closing at 6:30, when we called to ask earlier in day. When we got there only 3 people at one table in entire restaurant. They refused to seat us together, we offered to put 2 tables together, they said no. We left. I will never go there again, since they don't want our service. read more

Dining at Franky's restaurant was reminiscent of that time you had dinner at your friend's mom house, when you were 13. The atmosphere is very early 90's chic; all the way from the glass square chandeliers to the family/patriotic wall decor. Looks aside, the food was good. I had the oddly categorized "medium" plate which came with a super tasty taco, not too shabby cheese enchilada, a greasy chile relleno, rice, and beans. I asked for a flour tortilla to accompany my dish. That tortilla was loco en la cabeza delicious ese-- authentic, fresh, flour-y, warm, and soft. When the bill came, there was no option for sopapillas (nor were we asked if we wanted a sweet snacker) but thats all good homie. Overall, I gotta say... Franky's-- you're alright in my book. read more

Food is delicious and very affordable. They have wonderful weekly specials. The service is prompt with friendly professional staff. I highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner, can't go wrong with a Franky's meal. read more

We have been eating at Frank's since around 1997. We are are there at least once a week and it is always a nice place to be, the food is excellent and the staff are friendly and quick service. I think we have tried just about everything on the menu. Jim & Sandy (El Paso, TX) read more

WHAT A SHAME!!! This was a great little place for many years. Now everything has changed, the food, the service most of all. Guess I should have known on my last visit when the enchiladas were terrible! Normally on Sunday mornings it's packed.,..there were 3 people inside. Sadly I noticed the restaurant put 5 star reviews on their web page. Sadly, Those are no longer accurate of what you'll get today at Frankeys El Paso. read more

Shamefully, I eat here once a week. Sometimes more. The enchiladas are my anti-drug. Friendly staff and a cozy interior. Highly recommend!

This restaurant was horrible ! Apart from the service being horrible and the servers being very rude and a dirty restaurant. When ordering my huevos rancheros there was Hair in my food and still got charged for it after not even eating it !!!!! Super unorganized do not recommend !! read more

Excellent Mexican breakfast. Also very affordable. The machaca was great. Would definitely go back.

Food is mediocre, not authentic Mexican food to say the least with their canned refried beans, customer service was horrible with rude staff not really caring about their attitude. I understand their under new management, a change for the worst is seems. Very unfortunate. read more

This is probably my favorite Mexican place to eat, the food is super good and specially the burgers. And the waiters are the best. Good service. Love it!! read more
