    Ceviche Camaron; shrimp not chewable
    Kim L.

    Today I had lunch at Pikante's. On the positive side: waitstaff turned down music to accommodate my semi-deaf guest. My guest's dinner was delicious, although enough for at least 3 people. Plate presentation was phenomenal (kudos to chef!). Staff was friendly and professional. On the negative side. I ordered Ceviche Camaron (shrimp, onion, cilantro, jalapeno, avocado served with an extremely spicy sauce); $23 including tax and tip. Once served, wait staff did not return to inquire if the food was what was expected for at least 20 minutes. I noticed right away that the shrimp were tough, rubbery rendering it inedible. My only option was to watch my friend eat, while my entrée sat to the side. When I was finally asked if the food was to my expectation, I explained the shrimp were not chewable and asked that it be taken away. One bite taken. I was not offered any compensation, but charged the full amount, and left hungry. Hence my one-star rating. Suggestion: Offer a senior/child's/lunch plate with half the food.

    They have just recently opened. I will say the food was really good everything was fresh and tasty. I would say if they stay consistent they will be on par to be one of the better Mexican restaurants in Franklin. The restaurant is very nice looking on the inside. The layout is a little tight but for the small space they did a great job of making room. The staff were very sweet, just felt a little rushed to leave after we ate. Overall it was a very good experience and we will be back. Best wishes to them!

    Classic margarita large one. Who has a small when you have a driver...lol

    Food was great. The bean dip for the chips was fantastic. We had a great server who was attentive, pleasant and informative. Excellent service. We've added this place to our "go to" place. Thx chefs for some great food.

    The bean dip and salsa that came with the chips were a big hit as well.

    First and foremost: We called ahead to make sure our party of 15 to potentially 19 could be…read moreaccommodated, which we were advised could be but no reservations could be taken and to simply show up and they'd work from there. Arrival plus hostess: we arrived at the restaurant and immediately the younger looking, maybe Latina hostess, was unpleasant. We had not asked to be seated as we wanted to wait for the rest of our family with some being local residents to my family (from Sand Diego, California) and 2 sister-in-laws coming from Pennsylvania. It wasn't too long when an older gentleman, with glasses, came around took over, was extremely nice, and told us we could be seated confirming our party size. Server: The gentleman who take our order was friendly, prompt, and made no error in any order; my youngest was impressed at how he remembered who ordered what when he begun to bring out the meals. Food: Now this is where I know I can form an opinion. For one I'm Mexican who has lived in San Diego, California all her life (almost 49 yrs), and still do, with frequent visits to Mexico growing up. I also cook and may my own Mexican food, from scratch, to include homemade corn and flour tortillas by hand. I also do not use nor know anyone that uses nacho cheese on their food. What we do use is cotija, queso fresco, and Oaxaca cheese to name a few. I ordered the combination plate with a chicken enchilada and tamale. The plate was palatable but did not win me over. The chicken has zero flavor, zero seasoning, and per my assumption was boiled in water which is honestly an odd way to cook chicken. The tamale was dry and the beans and rice where passable. Looking at the menu I thought I'd be safe ordering that but as my eldest daughter said "mom, this is a 3 star out of 10 - non Yelp stars!" My husband and son both were not wowed by their plates either. When you have a true homemade and quality restaurant mexican food it really is an eye opener when eating outside of Southern California let alone Mexico or as my family "la comida de mi mama es major cien por ciento!!!" Lastly: the same younger looking Latina was behind our table cleaning a smaller group that left and once we all started to get up to leave she made sure she was extremely annoyed of our large presence. The dirty looks and holding back what she thought was quite visible to my observant eyes. I kept staring at her the entire time as each member made their way to the front area to meet and exit. We we never loud, did not make a mess and tipped our waiter generously, which I hope she gets nothing of it. We don't come here often as again, we live in California, but probably would never return unless it was just a drink at the bar. The girl needs to be better trained both in demeanor, her attitude axed, and learn costumer service. Out waiter and the older man with glasses were nice.

    Everything tasted great and had quick service. The queso is delicious and the large portion is…read morelarge, but not too big for my family to crush. The lettuce wasn't quite fresh so while the rest of my meal was good, it kind of held back the overall flavor. But overall would definitely go back again.
