They were so busy tonight because Cinco De Mayo. Even with that going on, they did a nice job. Fast pace atmosphere and the food and drinks always good. read more

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

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

Really enjoyed our dinners and the drinks were great too. We had a late lunch so there wasn't a wait and the service was excellent! 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

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

Sopapillas is awesome. I've had the nachos and the fajitas and I think that their brisket nachos would be my chosen last meal on earth. read more

Sopapilla's - Mexican Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

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!

I've been to this location several times this year. The staff are always friendly. Ambiance is good. The food isn't your typical Mexican cuisine. The food has it's own flare. It's moderately priced. I had the shrimp and grits. Awesome!! My wife had the Brisket Burger. She said it was overcooked and needed some condiments. My reply to her was, who goes to a mexican restaurant and gets a burger? Give it a try if you are in the area. It's worth a try. read more

Sopapilla's - Shrimp and grits - Mexican Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Some updates. Sopapilla's salsa is so good, I could just drink it. Warm chips and it's a winning combination. Next time I need to ask if I could buy a big container to take home with me. Draft Mexican beer and the dip sampler is a great way to start a meal. Considering how good the salsa, and all the dip trio are, particularly the guac and the queso, you'll get pretty full before any main plates arrive. So it's excellent that they have the Dos Tacos option for dinner - perfect size to try a couple tacos and not be too stuffed when you're done. Chipotle shrimp taco is excellent, the shrimp were particularly plump, juicy, perfectly cooked. The Original taco was good, though it made me long for a simple traditional ground beef tex mex crispy taco. But no worries, there are enough other taco selections to choose from. I did find the tacos a bit too messy to try to eat on the metal taco stands provided, so quickly switched to moving the tacos just to the plate, sans metal stand. Sopapillas tends toward being hot and loud. Parking is of the wander around and hope something turns up variety. But it's a good choice for local (New) Mexican, so these faults can be overlooked on the occasional visit. Finally, huge kudos that they take reservations. If you're driving across town on a weekend evening, it's great to know there'll be a table waiting for your party. read more

I have been to Sopapilla's several times but this time really took the cake! I tried the surf and turf fajitas and they were exceptional! Large portion sizes and lots of flavor! read more

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

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

Our plates were cold when served Will not be back. Will not be back Will not hesitate to tell anyone about our experience at Sopapilla's I can not rate this restaurant bc I was so disappointed 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

Food is a 5. Server was a 3. Monday lunch date with my partner. IT WAS DELICIOUS. Yes a bit on the pricey side, but worth it. Chips and salsa very tasty - fresh chips and a Smokey chipotle salsa. Make sure you check in on Yelp to get that CHILE CON QUESO. The braised beef rolled tacos and the El Pepe Shrimp Quesadilla holy options Batman. These dishes were phenomenal. The flavor layering is on point. The white sangria and the pineapple margarita great options. read more

Very slow service, food was brought out cold. Waitress was very inattentive and missing for very long periods of time. Food quality has diminished greatly from what this restaurant used to offer. We have an unused gift card, so we will reluctantly return... We'll see how it goes. 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

Awesomeness!!! Green Chili Stew was just like being in New Mexico!!! If you love hatch chiles you'll love this dish!

Good service and fresh ingredients. Live the sopapilla after - warm and fluffy. If you are in the area, check it out

Food is decent but not great. Service is mediocre. Parking is a nightmare. Their staff is a bit pretentious for the quality of the restaurant. read more

Staff was all very friendly and attentive. Food was delicious. Free chips and salsa (salsa had great spice). Tres enchiladas were great. Beans were missing from order but a team member resolved it within a minute after I brought to their attention. Good service is rare now and we really enjoyed our meal. Ambiance was nice, music not too loud like most places. read more

Great food - we had a favorite "NM Mexican" restaurant where we moved from and were delighted to find Sopapilla's. Tasty and different from Tex-Mex, good service too. read more

They take reservations which is great. Arrived and quickly seated. Party of 5. The brought out two baskets of chips and a bowl of salsa. Salsa was great and chips were good. I tried the street tacos brisket, chicken and steak. I have read where people complain that their tacos fell apart but no issue tonight. Food served hot. Ambiance is cool with a big fire scene on the TV and Christmas trees. Service was also good. Will return read more

Sopapilla's - Street tacos - Mexican Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

We are here with my brother, his kids, and one of my nieces, and we loved it. The server was excellent. He was attentive to e t when the cokes and chips needed refilling. We sat at a table in the bar room to watch football. If you are a queso person or not, order their queso!!! It is not your average queso. It is extra cheesy and has all sorts of diced peppers, beans, and such. When you dip the crispy, thin chips, the queso stays on the chip, and sometimes a string of cheese comes with your chip. Our group gave the queso five stars. The adults had a skinny margarita (the best drink ordered), a watermelon margarita that was too sweet, and a Paloma, which was ok. We ordered the shrimp quesadillas, and we highly recommend them. It was grilled to perfection with lots of cheese, shrimp, and their twist of crispy bacon. I took lots of the bacon out as I prefer the taste of the shrimp. The Dos tacos had one good one, the hot chicken, and one not good one, the fish. I love fish, but it was too fishy for me. I took one bite, and that was it; back to the quesadilla for me. My nephew had the kid's quesadilla, and he said it was five stars too. My niece had dinner that was grilled chicken, rice, and sautéed veggies, and she loved it. It was a considerable portion, so I got half of it to go, and my brother at the rest of it the next day and said it was really flavorful. My brother ate the enchiladas and liked them. We would return for the queso, skinny margarita, chicken dinner, and quesadillas. read more

First time we have been here in a few years. It was absolutely delicious. I did not get the waiters name but he was great. We went during happy hour and drinks came out quickly and were great. I had the stuffed poblano and husband had enchiladas, the dishes were very pretty and the taste was very good. Love the outdoor patio area. read more

Nice food, little pricey. Good customer service, chef himself came out to serve the dessert for my son's special day. Ample parking. read more

Sopapilla's - Apple crisp with vanilla ice cream - Mexican Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

The food was fantastic. After reading the review from Raeleen we decided to check it out. She was 100% spot on!! I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great tasting authentic Mexican food originating from New Mexico. read more

Probably one of it not the best restaurant in Nashville and definitely the best when it comes to Mexican food! Everything is very fresh and delivered extremely hot! Employees are friendly. Sometimes you have to wait if they are understaffed or just in general that would be my only slight criticism if any. But other times You're greeted really quickly and the food comes out really fast! They have an amazing happy hour. Wednesdays are half price bottles of wine and it's truly a good half price. Not like some restaurants that the half price is more expensive than a regular price bottle at another restaurant. The salsa is fresh made everything is from scratch. The music is not too loud, which I really enjoy because when you want to have a conversation with someone, it's nice to be able to really partake in the conversation. I give this place five stars all day every day! read more

Awesome food - loved the carne asada tacos and the tamales were killer. The seasonal apple spice martinis are a must try!

Had this several times in the last year and a 1/2 - thanks to a wonderful friend of ours - always a joy to be with

I'm not sure whether to give them 3 or 4 stars. Hear me out... The food, excellent. Cooked well, great flavor, good sized portions, but it's more than that. The service was just meh. I mean, they were nice enough... but they forgot about us quite often. We sat with empty drinks for the majority of the meal, and the manager walked by our table 4 times with a full pitcher of water.... And the ambiance was very strange. Supposed to be a Mexican restaurant, however there is ZERO decor that tells me that it is. And the music was upbeat B52's stuff like that... in a Mexican restaurant?! Didn't make any sense. read more

This was a recommendation from a coworker while visiting Nashville. This restaurant did not disappoint. Really good, fresh food and very tasty. We went around 5pm so the establishment was not super busy and the wait service was attentive. Will definitely be back when I return to Nashville. read more

A more upscale Mexican restaurant that offers very good food, an attentive staff, and a cool setting to dine in. They brought me out the chips and salsa and I wasn't overly fond of the salsa, but the meal proved far more better. I had the sopapilla with braised pork topped "Christmas tree" style (with both red and green hatch chile sauce) along with Mexican street corn. It was very good, though it would only had been enhanced if they had a homemade hot sauce. I made due with the bottle of hot sauce they brought me to get a bit more heat. Sopapilla's has great reviews and finally dining here, I see why. I recommend here. It is not the cheapest (lunch cost me nearly twenty five dollars), but Sopapilla's elevates Mexican food beyond the standard national chain offerings. read more

Don't bother. Crazy expensive for what you get and less tasty than a place like jalisco right down the road.

Food was to go. Was packed well. Food was delicious. Hostess was friendly and great.

Excellent food, love the large outside seating area, and Olivia our server was excellent.

We ate there awhile ago. It was on a Saturday between the lunch and dinner runs. The entire restaurant was filthy. Floors had napkins and food on the floor, and the ables hadn't been bussed. Nonetheless we stayed, ordered and ate. The food was cold and dried out as if it had been plated and sitting under a heat lamp; although I can't be sure. It just tasted and appeared like it was not fresh. Needles to say we haven't been back and probably won't. Sorry I didn't take pictures to share. read more
