Mi Abuelito Mexican Restaurant

Food and service has always been great here. We always stop when coming into Franklin.

Mi Abuelito has lightening fast service. Chips and salsa were on our colorful table seconds after we sat down. The chips are thin, fresh without a ton of salt (just like I like). Drink orders were taken and served, so fast. Food came out within 5 minutes of ordering. The menu is standard Mexican favorites. They offer daily specials and I had the taco salad which was a dollar off. The salad was fairly typical with lettuce, tomato, cheese and beef in a tortilla bowl. It was a perfect light lunch, but next time I would ask for a little pico for the salad. My husband had the steak burrito which was delicious served with a pico salad and rice. Our server was efficient and attentive. He checked on us several times. The restaurant is filled with colorful tables, booths and lanterns. The place is comfortable. They have daily margarita specials....just saying. Parking is available around the building. Worth a visit.

The whole place looks delightfully tacky. One server snapped at me when I asked for help. The food is amazing.

Great atmosphere an feeling, they was quick sat down an had chips an salsa right after being seated was getting my drink preset s pretty busy for 530 didn't see a mean face in them place nobody seemed to be waiting on anything Would have been 5 but the food seemed to sit in the window a little longer than it should have been an the inside was a bit cold Was still nice time give it a try

After a week of packing & moving we were so sick of fast food..... I'll be happy if I never eat another fast food burger or fry again. 3 days of packing up my car and a moving truck and MANY trips up and down the stairs we finally settled in. While I'm ready for a home cooked meal my entire life is still packed up in boxes but we were in need of some tasty food. And I was craving some chips & salsa. So off to Mi Abuelito we went. I ordered the lunch fajitas and added chorizo and my kiddo got the lunch trio burrito. I also got a glass of the horchata. Let me tell you this was exactly what I needed after a long moving week. I did see that they had a spicy jalapeño Marg that I am most definitely going back for!!! The service was great and the food was delish.

Wowzers!!! On return trip from Edinburg we came across this little gem in Franklin. Started with Jalepeno Marg... this spicy drink was well executed with Tijin salted rim, bits of Peppers and Cucumbers floating in the Lime and sweet Tequila. So good, I can see why patrons out front were just enjoying quiet ambiance. Chips were served with individual bowls of mild tomato salsa, finely mixed. For Entree I went ALL IN! Molcajete... the holy grail of southern border proteins. Chicken, Steak flanking pot with roasted cactus and filled with Oaxaca cheese, Chorizo, Pulled Pork Shrimp and Mole' followed with roasted Poblano peppers. Your should get a shirt for finishing this! Which was full of flavor and with an extra side of Tortillas I nearly did. Don't be a coward... order this to share. My bride got a Chimichanga which was equally delicious along with the balance of the table we were fans of "little grandfather". Worth a stop, if ever passing through Franklin.

Muy Bien! Plenty of parking, Beautifully decorated, and Great service. We had tamales, carnitas tacos, and chilaquiles. All very good. Salsa was a little spicy which we like. Would eat here again!

Overall had a great experience here, had been hearing great things so wanted to come try it out on a weekend date. Was pretty busy so that was a good sign but still got sat within a few mins. The decor is pretty typical bight colors and neat hand carved Latin looking booths. Chips and salsa were amazing while we waited for our entrees. The salsa was very fresh and tasted great. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time and it all tasted great! I got a 4 combo plate and so did my date. I got a tostada, 2 cheese enchiladas and a bean burrito. They were all just the right temp and tasted authentic. Everything was Delicious, only one thing came out wrong but they fixed it quickly. Would definitely return, great food, atmosphere and the dinner was fun and tasty! Check them out while in Franklin!

Meh.I had a Quesadilla a la Diabla, which amounted to a grilled flour tortilla folded in half and stuffed with small bits of chicken and chorizo. It came with salad, which in Mexican restaurant parlance is lettuce, tomatoes, rice and beans. The quesadilla was a little spicy, but not overly so. The chicken was bland and the chorizo didn't really taste much like good chorizo.The chips were greasy and barely above room temperature. The salsa was ok. The service was fine. So unless this was just a case of my choosing the wrong thing on the menu, I didn't think this place was anything special, nor did it deserve the high ratings other reviewers have given it. Maybe I need to go back, try something else on the menu and be more open-minded. But there's a handful of other Mexican joints just in that nearby area that look pretty good. So this may be a 'compete or die' situation. The place was virtually empty when I went, which was during dinner hour on a week night. I wish them luck.

My new favorite Mexican restaurant! Loved their seafood fajitas that featured big sautéed shrimp and scallops! Colorful,, cheerful Mexican decor too!
