Wow, I can't believe I haven't done a review on the Franklin Inn yet. This is a favorite local , family owned Mexican restaurant. Great margaritas, good food, great prices & fun intimate feel. It is like dining with family. Every dish - from chef specials to one of my favorites - Colorado green chili enchiladas are flavorful & so yummy! Always busy! Fast & friendly service. In the area - check them out!

We stopped by our favorite Mexican restaurant on a dreary Friday night and grabbed a seat at the bar to wait for our table. The bartenders were slammed and made quick work mixing up some fantastic blood orange margaritas with a spicy chili lime rim. Fabulous! When we got seated, we got a fresh basket of homemade chips and salsa. The Inn's salsa is one of my all time favs and the salty chips offered the perfect salsa delivery system. We ordered the grilled chorizo sausage app that was really fantastic and so unique. It's served with grilled onions, tortilla and sauce and tasted like I had just thrown it into our charcoal grill. The chorizo is specially made for the Inn and just the right spice level. You have to try it!For entrees, we had the seafood enchiladas and the chili lime Faroe Islands salmon special. That salmon was just delicious!! Seafood enchiladas are always a winner with that yummy sauce. We had such a great meal! Wendy & John are still knocking it out of the park in the N Hills.

Took a drive out north for some errands and realized I'd be stuck in 5' o'clock nonsense. So heading to Franklin inn for a margarita was a better decision. The chimichangas were a good choice and recommended. It was early evening and families were gathering. I love this place in the summertime for the outside seating.

If you like a strong margarita this is the place for you! I got the special margarita of the month which was pineapple and it tasted like straight tequila. Both my husband and I felt it after a few sips. The chips and salsa were great. Especially if you have kids. Ours were happy to sit munching away. I got the Jalisco spicy shrimp tacos which were really big and honestly didn't even need sides. They had a pretty big kick of spice once I was finished. Overall good experience.

Came highly recommended by a friend and delivered in a big way. Pineapple hibiscus margarita was one of the best margaritas I have ever had. I know it sounds odd at a Mexican restaurant but GET THE WINGS. Delicious. I got the street tacos one with shredded beef one with chorizo and the garlic crema- again, delicious. I had a bite of my wifes chimichangas which were outstanding. We were sad when the food was gone, that's how good it was. This is far from us but we will most certainly be back!

A local favorite for the North Hills people of Pittsburgh. I have gone to this restaurant more than I can count on my hands! Every time I've had a good experience! Believe it or not my favorite thing at this restaurant is in fact not Mexican food but their hot wings. You cannot go wrong. If you order these wings!!! they are top-notch and I highly recommend you try them when you're in this restaurant next time! I am also a big fan of their fajita vegetables, which is a side dish. This restaurant is family friendly, and the ambience is like going into a home and enjoying a great meal. You will not be disappointed.

23-24years ago I took my now wife on dates here and the margaritas were good. On a whim we wanted to relive old memories, and we were not impressed with the Rita's, and my enchiladas didn't taste right maybe too much cinnamon? The flan was really tasty I'm gonna give the place a three

Do yourself a favor and order the street tacos: Grilled chicken, garlic crème, and jallisco slaw. It is dynamite. Literally the best taco I've ever eaten and we are from TX where tacos are the main food served everywhere. Geez I could eat these every single day! If you want your meal to be even better start with chipotle chicken empanadas. Wow!
