This has to be one of the best restaurants in Franklin. We got the sopapillas platter which had a taco, tamale, and enchilada with rice and beans. It was incredible. and to top it off, Cora made us an incredible set of sopapillas for a dessert! Lastly was the ambiance of this place was so cool. Perfect for getting together with friends like we did tonight!! We will be back for sure. read more

My husband and I moved to Tennessee from Colorado, and if you know... you know how hard it is to find truly authentic Mexican food here--especially real green chili. We've been searching for years, and this place is the real deal. From the moment we saw Hatch green chili on the menu (and in actual photos!), we knew this wasn't the usual "tomatillo sauce passed off as green chili." The food is fresh, authentic, and full of the flavors we've missed so much since leaving Colorado. The green chili is incredible--exactly what we grew up with. If you're a Colorado or Southwest transplant, or just someone looking for genuinely amazing Mexican food, this place is a must. We're so excited to finally have a go-to spot in Tennessee and will absolutely be spreading the word! read more

Still a solid choice for dining out. We made a reservation for a Saturday night, it was a good idea, it was fairly crowded. We had easy parking and were able to sit on the patio on a lovely evening. GF friends beware, the chips that are on your table are not gluten free, you can ask for gf chips but it takes a good while for them to arrive, meanwhile your dining mates are munching away. Our service was good, the food was very good and the pricing is reasonable. Check it out! read more

Tried this place for dinner while working in Nashville. I wanted some unique and this definitely fit the bill. New Mexico style and slightly spicy. I really like this place. Chips were thin and crispy. Salsa was spicy and good, not the tomato sauce based kind. I had Tres Tamales. One pork with a rich red sauce. One corn and pepper one with a mild sour cheese sauce and one chicken with a green (verde) sauce. Absolutely delicious. I have not had the flavors of these Tamales. And they were huge. I could only eat half. Black beans and rice were tasty accompaniments. Service with Alex was great. Ill be back. read more

Went to Sopapilla's for dinner. The Carnita's were delicious. Surprised they did not come with tortillas though. The Margherita was OK but overpriced for what they are. Overall, it felt like an upscale, dimly lit, nice Mexican restaurant with friendly service. read more

First time. Service was great. Everyone was super friendly. Good was great. Portion sizes were just right. Everything tasted yum!

Went today (Sunday) to try their tortilla chicken soup- I heard it was amazing. The server we had (taller man prob mid 30's in all black) kind of ruined the experience. He wasn't very professional and didn't seem to be that interested in what he was doing. I ordered the tortilla soup and asked to add chicken- that is how it is listed on the menu- add chicken is right below the description for $2. My daughter ordered the grilled fajita salad- she asked for the steak. As he took our order he didn't write anything down which always makes me nervous but ok & again didn't seem very attentive. Our food came out and looked delicious especially the salad. The chicken for my soup was dropped right on top of my soup, which was fine- the soup didn't seem to be a brothy soup more of a creamy soup, I noticed chunks of potato and thought it was interesting but thought maybe it was just their take on the soup. About half way through I noticed that in addition to the chicken there was another meat which I thought was odd. About that time I was full so only had eaten about 1/2 of the soup. When he came to bring our check I noticed that it said "green chili stew" and not tortilla soup. When he came back I asked him - "was this the tortilla soup or green chili?" He said "the green chili" and I said oh ok that's not what I ordered- and he then said yeah I thought it was weird you wanted to add chicken. Which I was thinking well if you thought that was odd then why didn't you ask and clarify then? So he then said is that ok? And I said well no, I wanted the tortilla soup but it's too late now. He offered to bring me some to go which I said would be great. So it was nice that he tried to make it right but being that the only reason we went there was to try the soup it just kind of ruined the visit. I felt that the error could have been avoided if more attention had possibly been given from the beginning. read more

Well. Darn. This has been one of my favorite places for Tex Mex. Both the service and the food has taken a major downturn. I was shocked at last week's health rating in the 60s but thought I'd give it a try; surely after such a horrific score they would be minding their Ps and Qs. Nope. I sat at the bar and waited forever for service. I asked for water upon ordering our meal and drinks. The drinks were served but the water didn't arrive until after we were half finished with our food. After ordering our food, we waited and waited. My guest even commented on how long it was taking. The food finally arrived and it was cold. Literally cold. I can't believe that no one - not a manager or anyone else ran the food. My order was missing major ingredients listed on the menu. Pretty bad experience after past experiences that have been trending downward. And with the health score... Sopapilla and I are on a break. read more

So....we were arguing in the Hobby lobby parking lot where to go for dinner as we always do...just the two of us. I threw out Mexican and initially the response was "we do Mexican all the time" but eventually she saw the light and suggested this place where she had lunch with our daughter but I had never tried....so here's what I found (her review won't be as detailed or awesome).... Ambiance:: Corner of the Complex next to Herban Market and ample parking (at least when we showed up. Nothing to write home about - not a ton of mexican fare or colors just a standard table and booth set up. Service: Service was great - our host and server were very attentive (it was a slow night apparently also) but either way they were very nice and prompt. Food: I had the Surf & Turf Fajitas which were cooked well and tender. Too many onions and not enough peppers for my liking and the guac / pico were not enough to fill 3 tortillas with the meat. Lots of onions - not sure maybe because it helps for flavor and maybe there are cheap so as to up the profit margin but the tall a good dish. Portions were a bit smaller than other places that i prefer but not a bad portion. Price: IMO - too pricey - $7 for a Pacifico on draft and $13 for my wife's white Sangeia...wow thought we were on broadway! $22 and $25 for the fajitas and again I've had larger portions at other places with equal quality for much less...(see other mexican reviews from me) Summary; If you are Hangry and have to pick a place on Franklin road then you will get good service and food here but you'll pay for it. For just the two of us $80 for 2 fajitas and 3 drinks....just a bit too pricey for Mexican food for me.... it like I said before you'll enjoy the meal and the service. Keep Munching!!! read more

I love the flavors but it's been a while since I've been back. I tend to struggle with pricing or service every time I go so I just quit for a long while. I had the taste for their street nachos today so thought I'd give it another try. The flavor was great as usual. They've now added an extra $4 charge for a protein. So the $15 is now a base fee. Add chicken and you're at $19. Plus tax, plus tip. Although the online menu says $12.50 plus $4.50 for the protein. The pricing inconsistency and increases, along with a bar tender that doesn't smile, and just seems to have a chip on her shoulder, makes for an unpleasant overall experience. I wish the whole experience were better because I do enjoy the flavors. read more

Customer service was awful. Ordered food online for delivery and food came out completely incorrect. Sopapilla's was unwilling to provide a refund for the order that was incorrect. We ordered chicken enchiladas and there were only onions and cabbage in the burrito. When we brought the issue to their attention they wanted to deflect and put the responsibility on uber eats. The food has gone downhill and the customer service is extremely poor. read more

Tried coming here the other night but they were closing early due to the snow storm that was coming. Our sister in law suggested Brunch the next day and it was excellent. Can't wait to visit again because we will definitely be returning. Totally enjoyed this gem and the atmosphere had great music to vibe too. read more

I would recommend this place to anyone great food and amazing service. I won't come in because Lori, who is the bartender is always very pleasant and And knows what she's doing. read more

Closest thing to New Mexican styled food I can find in Nashville. It's not exactly "authenticate" New Mexican food but close enough for TN. Had close to no spice from the green chiles in my stuffed sopapilla. For reference, I lived in NM for several years and their low spice meals were spicy. Queso was delicious, but again, not much spice but overall great flavor. Server was nice and knowledgeable and over all decor was good but saw a good amount of spider webs towards the front waiting area on the decor and plants. Will be back for more! read more

Been a few years, and went back again last night. Outside of the "house" margarita tasting like a 7-eleven frozen slushie, service was great and all three street tacos tasted super fresh/great ingredients. I need to get back sooner read more

I Absolutely recommend Sopapilla's!!! Great atmosphere with great friendly service. The food omg the food was fantastic!! You must try the pineapple guacamole oh wow it's so good. We ordered the street tacos and dos tacos and all were good but my favorite was the brisket taco very delicious. I think the thing that sits their food apart is the attention to detail that they put into it along with the different style sauces that really brought out the flavors and enhanced the tacos. My only complaint is that I didn't get another order of the pineapple guacamole to take home. I'm serious if you go you must get the pineapple guacamole. It was so so good. read more

I attended a small work event here last year in the VIP room and it was just lovely! Private, warm, comfortable and the food was delish. It made enough of an impression that I hosted a college alumni event here recently in the same room. It was decorated beautifully for the holidays and everyone commented it was the perfect place to meet. The stew and brisket quesadillas were the menu standouts, along with the generous cocktails. Our server Christina was on top of everything and so nice! This is a fantastic place to bring a group and there's free self-parking all around the restaurant. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Franklin! We eat here at least once a week. Every dish we've tried is great, but I especially love the steak tacos and the blue corn chicken tacos. Oh and the guacamole. Wow. You can tell the food is high quality, flavors are excellent. Customer service is always great too! read more

Great service! Food is really good too. Incredible Mexican with an American flair. Highly recommend! read more

Sopapilla's attempts an elevated Mexican cuisine, but left me wishing I'd gone to my staple Mexican dive. The flavor is just not there. The refried beans were bland, and even their spiciest sauce did not pack any punch. The chicken took notes from the beans -- it was also dry. The pricing is absurd. There are places in Franklin which provide much more bang for your buck! read more

Back for the first time and as great as ever. Came in on a Saturday afternoon and was able to seat immediately at a table by the window. First off, great service. Attentive, friendly and kept the drinks topped off. Food served while still piping hot. Second the food was great. G had the three Street Tacos and two filled her up. I had the Angus steak fajitas and wow, that was tender and delicious beef! Enough food to bring home and make a snack out of it the next day. All-in-all, another great visit! read more

My husband and I had a great dinner here. The service, especially at the bar, was outstanding. The woman bartending made fantastic drinks and our server was very attentive the entire visit. The food was delicious and the drinks were even better. Great atmosphere, great people, and great flavors. We will definitely be back! read more

Sopapillas is DELICIOUS per usual! My husband and I go every Sunday after church and it never disappoints. Moving to Tennessee we were on the hunt for delicious homemade Mexican style food and this place hits the spot! Sopapillas is a New Mexican base cuisine and it tastes authentic to the places I've loved when in New Mexico. Dishes I've tried: tortilla soup (10/10)- they add so many veggies and it is filled with meat green beef enchiladas (10/10)- tortillas and sauce tastes homemade mini chimichangas (10/10)- MY FAVORITE DISH surf and turf (10/10)- delicious! Shrimp was seasoned VERY well carne asada tacos (10/10)- juicy to perfection Baja tacos (10/10)- batter was delicious and had a great amount of fish which is nice. Prices are VERY reasonable especially for the quality. Service: Drea is great and I believe Rob! Ambiance: Very nice and caters well to their style. Would recommend this place again and again! read more

Superb food, decent service good ambiance highly recommend their street tacos!!! Totally recommend

We loved all the food we tried!!! I only wish we didn't live an hour away or we'd be here every week. There were three of us, the chips and salsa are complimentary l, we got queso too. They both had a nice Smokey flavor. I had the pick 3 street tacos, the brisket was my favorite, then the steak, I didn't love the chicken but it was still good. My wife had the steak taco salad, she gave me a bite of steak and I was almost sorry I got the street tacos it was so good. My daughter got the chicken and cheese quesadilla, she got full after 2 slices and said she was sad she wasn't hungrier because it was so good. Next time we're out in Franklin I definitely want to go back. Or maybe they'll build one in Murfreesboro closer to me. read more

We came here for a dinner for my husband's lab. It was a last minute decision as the restaurant we were supposed to go to ended up closing for a private event, but it really paid off! I called Sopapillas immediately and they were able to accommodate our group of eight without a problem. The restaurant is very nicely decorated in a Southwestern style that you would see at high class restaurants in Arizona. The service was impeccable. Our waiter came and checked on us frequently and make sure we had everything that we needed. Drinks were delicious. Sangria was cold and refreshing on a hot day. What I really have to compliment them on was the excellent arrays of vegetarian options. The chips and salsa were plentiful and delicious. The salsa was a very nice medium flavor, and you could tell it was made fresh. We ordered guacamole, queso, and the skillet nachos. The queso has lard in it so I didn't try it but other people in our party tasted it and said it was delicious. I ordered the Fajita Portabella quesadillas. The vegetables were hot and the mushrooms were juicy. The street corn was the best part of the meal. It tasted so fresh and authentic. I ordered mine on the cob, but you can order it off the cob as well, which is probably easier to eat. Both my kids had a different kids meals which came with a drink. Both got lemonade, which tasted fresh. My youngest son had the quesadilla and french fries, and it all came out hot and delicious with large portions. My oldest son (he is six) had mac & cheese and a fruit bowl. He said "Sopapillas is one of the best Mexican restaurants. I never could have imagined that it could be that good! " We ended the meal with hot Sopapillas for dessert. Some came with strawberries and chocolate and some came with honey. One bite and it transported me back to Arizona and sunset dinners with my husband and his family. read more

My husband and I visited here tonight, looking forward to a nice dinner. Instead we were greeted by a rude waitress and it continued throughout our stay. When she brought the bill to us she slammed it down and said thanks. We were very surprised. My husbands tamale had no chicken in it. My brisket quesadilla was good. It is to bad we were treated like this, we will not be back. The restaurant was pretty empty, maybe our waitress has run people off. read more

The taco trio was delicious! Especially the fish taco were good. Good and friendly service too!

Upscale Mexican restaurant. Nice ambiance and excellent service; however, the salsa was way too hot for me and my husband. Too, the white sauce that came with our entree was too hot. If you like it hot, this is the place for you. We won't be back. read more

Because I have lived in Mexico and along the Texas border I may expect more. I have tried Sopapilla's twice and am not impressed. The food seems to be designed for North Americans not what I know as Mexican. read more

The food here was solid as was the ambiance, I could this being a good place to take a date. The service left a lot to be desired. We were seated by the hostess and while wait staff were servicing all of the tables around us they proceeded to ignore us, mind you we were a party 3 so it wasn't like we had this massive group. I think we sat there for a good 10-15 minutes before anyone came by, no one even offered water. Keep in mind the restaurant wasn't that busy either. The fact that there was no acknowledgement for that amount of time after being seated really left me feeling like they don't want business. read more

Swanky, trendy atmosphere with upscale Mexican food. They offer chips & salsa when you sit down and they are yummy! I usually keep it simple & order the Chipotle Shrimp Tacos & they are OUTSTANDING! I sit at the bar to eat when I am there with my hubby and the service is good. This place is a must try! You will love it! Outdoor seating is available & it is in a a great location with plenty of parking! Cheers to a great experience Sopapilla's! Gracias! read more

Let me first start by saying that I'm a general manager of a restaurant and have been in the restaurant energy for 31 years. I was so impressed with not only the service, but the quality of the food was top-notch. This place has a beautiful presence about it and if you have not been here before I highly suggest you come and give it a shot. I'm originally from California and I have very high expectations for any type of Hispanic food. The green salsa was on point and the owner who is also the chef has a very fresh approach to his cuisine. He and his team were so kind and accommodating. I would like to thank everyone of the team members and the owner for such a wonderful and memorable experience. read more
