    regular and habanero salsa
    Joe W.

    Would like to start by saying the service here was great! They were very friendly and happy. As for the restaurant, the floor is carpeted and a bit dirty. The food was average. We started with a habanero salsa which had a lot of spice but not much other flavor. We then ordered a kids steak taco with rice and beans. It was a great size for a kids meal. The steak was not very seasoned, the rice was salty, and the beans were very mushy and flavorless. We also ordered a tostaguac and a chalupa, we could not distinguish which was which, they appeared and tasted the same- Soggy base with salty ground beef topped with a lot of lettuce and guacamole. The guacamole topping was delicious! Last we ordered a tamale and an enchilada. The tamale was so soft and undercooked it was inedible, the enchilada was an average enchilada. Prices were fair.

    Steak Fajitas
    Barb S.

    Delicious- Great food and very prompt service. Cold beer & served as ordered. I have the steak fajitas and they were delicious all the sides were fresh and the lettuce was crispy. Great chips and salsa!

    Chicken Poblano with rice and beans Cheese dip
    Ravindra G.

    One of my top favorite Mexican places around here. The quantity and the quality of the food for the price I pay, is just amazing. The service was quick and our server was very friendly. We were 6 of us and they had two different spots for us to choose. Since this is a complex, there's a lot of parking too. If this is your first time to this place, go ahead and try the Chicken Poblano. Amazing stuff.

    Hot Cholula Sauce with your Tortilla chips!

    First thing I noticed there was lots of Mexicans here to eat for lunch!! First tip any time you see homeland natives in an ethnic restaurant... it's probably excellent!! The Chimichanga lunch special was quite ample and priced well! The food was delicious and did not have that canned feel! I highly recommend this place for a simple yet authentic Mexican food! The service was excellent even though they seemed like they were in a hurry! The food only took 5 mins from the time of order to the table!!!

    Chorizo with eggs and rice and beans with a cheese enchilada plate and a skinny margarita!
    Jordan O.

    We have now been here THREE DAYS IN A ROW! LOL I mean this place is so freaking good. Cheese enchiladas rice and beans with the side of queso!!! This is worth the drive from wherever you are!

    Oily broth chock full of chipotle chili powder. Guaranteed heartburn after two bites. And no chicken.

Of course we love the excellent food but it's the employees and their service that have kept us loyal for over 20 years. Over the last year, we specifically ask to be seated in Violeta's section.

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. 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!
