    Great start to an Awesome Mexican meal, a Margarita on the rocks!!!  So good!
    Jeff D.

    I have been coming here for 24 years and I love this place! The owner and his son-law always greet us with open arms, that is special! ! They are very family friendly, when our boys come to town they have to eat here. The food is very good, and you get plenty. We alway start off with Margaritas on the rocks with some cheese dip. I get the chicken fajitas and I take home half. Some days, it does get busy, if you don't want to wait for a table, look in the bar area, usually there are a few seats open.

    The food here was pretty good. It had a lot of flavor. Let's start off with salsa. For me, the salsa says a lot about the restaurant. The salsa was very flavorful and yummy. I loved it! The chips also came out nice and warm with it. I had their fajitas and it was very flavorful. I enjoyed it. The only complaint about it were the small shrimps and we only got a few of them. The rice was very flavorful. I loved it. The guacamole was also very good. I also tried their ground beef nachos and I liked it. Service wise- our server did so good. I wish I got his name, but I didn't. He didn't fail to check on us and did so good in bringing us everything we asked for. In all- I had a good experience and would come back.

    the food here is pretty good, although i have had better mexican food! although it is hard to find really good mexican food here in TN. the drinks were very good and the decorations in the restaurant were very cute! our server was also kind. however, we were seated next to the register and there was a waitress who wasn't occupied, and the whole time i was there she was full on staring at me and my family nonstop while we were talking and eating and it made us feel really awkward

    Chef's delicacy; sopping wet butcher paper tacos.

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.

The inside is cute and trendy, making it a great spot to grab a bite. The food itself was very good! I tried the pollo tacos and a side of fries, and the fries had a unique taco seasoning that I absolutely loved. We also ordered chips and queso--the queso was delicious, though the chips were a bit too greasy for my taste. The portions are pretty good, and I was stuffed when we left! 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. That said, the staff was friendly, and the overall experience was enjoyable. The inside is very very clean and well taken care of. 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!

But if you're looking for something authentic, do not go here. However the service is absolutely fantastic very kind and warm staff.
