Now this is THE PLACE!! I've been raving about this place all week and had to share here too!…read more I ended up here for a friends reuniting dinner, and we just had the best time! We all got the taco dinner, Mexican-style tacos, and WOW! Not only was the food incredible, our server, Jenny I, was just the sweetest! With the delightful food and great, attentive service, we enjoyed ourselves on the patio with lovely live music! My time here was so memorable I ended up back here for dinner two times in one week- Ha! Still just as enjoyable the second time! Would recommend many times over! Go check it out!

Always exceptional authentic Mexican food! The flautas and…read morecheese enchiladas were delicious as the special of the day. My husband choose three street tacos - carne asada chicken and pork. He loved all but he said the pork was outstanding Because the meat was so tender and flavorful! Frankie's gives you delicious chips and salsa, the salsa can be a bit on the spicy side for kids just as a sidenote ! They do have other options available, though. Every time we come here, Frankie's tacos feels very nice and clean, and the staff is always extremely friendly! We will be back again !

If you have allergies proceed with caution. This place can be great when they get the orders right…read more Unfortunately, there isn't much attention to detail when it comes to things like allergies when they're stated. I had two different burritos remade today because they each contained dairy even after stating a dairy allergy. The first one had sour cream on it. One of the people at the restaurant stated they didn't realize that sour cream is dairy. The second time, they re-made it there was no sour cream, but it had cheese inside. Just something to note if you're going there with any kind of food allergies. I've been here a handful of times and there's often this kind of issue unfortunately.

I spent most of my birthday this year on a plane. We did eat a late dinner at Huck Finn in Oak…read moreLawn, Illinois, but my parents wanted to celebrate my (and Marlene's) belated birthday(s) with, well, Tom and Marlene, so my parents asked me to pick a spot. I love finding good places that Tom and Marlene haven't been. At first, I thought this was the Mexican restaurant on the south side of McKinley Street, but that one is long gone. I believe it was was called Cancun--or was it Acapulco? In any case, we drove separately because Tom and Marlene had some of their typical do-gooding to do, and I was a little surprised at how late they were. Well, they had gone to a takeout version of Puerto Vallarta (the same business?) located near where that other old closed Mexican restaurant was, but on the north side of McKinley. In any case, Puerto Vallarta--the real one tucked way behind a secret strip mall with this weird fire lane between the first line of parking spots and the storefront curb itself--is a great place. The menu is pretty vast for a sit-down Mexican restaurant in South Bend, and it's not just different versions and combinations of the same items, although you can seemingly get anything as part of a combination plate. The service is excellent and attentive. It was very busy when we came, and we were seated right when a lot of other people were seated, so our food did take a long time, but it wasn't ridiculously long, and our server continually stopped by to let us know what was happening and to refill water and complimentary chips. There are two or three dining rooms total, and we were seated in the one to the right as you walk in the door. I'm glad we weren't seated in the main (?) central room, because that's where they had a speaker on one of the tables playing music very loudly. I thought this would annoy me, but when you're in one of the other rooms, the music is at a reasonable volume. I guess their method is cheaper than actually installing a sound system throughout the restaurant, but I don't know who actually sits in that main room, because it was empty when we entered and had only two parties dining when we left. There was basketball on the TV when we were here, but the volume was turned off, and they have what looks like an antenna service without an actual antenna, so the broadcast was constantly dropping out for long periods during the entirety of our dinner. I wasn't interested in watching, so I didn't care, but if you're coming here to watch a game, you will be torturing yourself. Our dining room was festive and fun. It was also reassuring to see so many Latino families eating here and to hear them speaking Mexican-accented Spanish. I grew up in Southern California and have lived in the Golden State most of my life; I never judge a Mexican restaurant by who's eating inside it at home, but in the Midwest? Yup, Mexican restaurants get the same treatment as Chinese restaurants everywhere: The more Chinese people you see eating at the restaurant, the better the restaurant. It's also nice to see how many more Latinos there are in Michiana than when I lived there.

Here for a quick getaway. Looked up potential places for dinner one night and came upon Jesus…read more(pronounced hey-soos) Latin Grill in Mishawaka. Reviews were great. Looked like an interesting place. Goodness, it was NOT disappointing! Vibe inside was eclectic, colorful, and fun. Our server was fabulous! Friendly but not obtrusive. Knew the menu well. Did everything with a smile! We started with their fresh made guac and the best freshly made tortilla chips we've ever had in a restaurant. We shared the verde salad...spinach, arugula, chocio corn, white beans, grilled avocado slices, jicama, pepitas, honey garlic dressing. Kinda exciting to get a salad unlike any other! So good! Hubby had the Chochinita Pibil...yucatan slow-roasted pork with all the fixings (look at the menu for details) and accompanied by their freshly made, banana leaf wrapped corn tortillas. I had the Peruvian Street Chicken, stacked high on the plate with, among other things, olive tapenade and the most delicious charred lightly smashed potatoes. It was HUGE and easily could have served 2-3 people (needless to say, we doggie-bagged mire than half of it!). Again, unique and taste-bud exploding flavors! Hubby tried, and enjoyed, their hose brewed Mexican lager which he says was crisp and malty. I cannot fail to mention the beverage I tried (on server's recommendation), the Mole Dream Mezcalita. Spicy. Cold. Good to the last savored sip! Will we go again? YES! Might even bring some friends for a quick road trip!

Very disappointing experience and terrible service!…read more We chose to try this restaurant while visiting Indiana after reading the reviews, and unfortunately, this was by far one of the worst customer service experiences we've had at a restaurant. It started off fine--we were seated, given menus, and our drinks and appetizers were ordered. But after that, the service was extremely frustrating. Our appetizers arrived, but we had no plates or utensils. We had to ask multiple times while our food was literally sitting there getting cold. Then came the napkins--we had to ask three separate times, and it took over 20 minutes before we finally received them. When the rest of our food finally arrived, some of it was dry and overcooked, while other items were cold. At that point, the entire experience had become incredibly disappointing. What's frustrating is that we were patient and understanding throughout the meal. Despite the poor service, we still tipped our server well because we understand that restaurant staff can be dealing with circumstances beyond their control. But as customers, we shouldn't have to repeatedly ask for basic necessities like plates, utensils, and napkins--or wait 20+ minutes for them when there were plenty of staff inside. We came in excited to try this place based on the reviews and left feeling completely disappointed. Unfortunately, we won't be coming back.
