" Our experience at Casa Franco was quite enjoyable, but not without its flaws. While the food was delicious, with my cheese enchiladas being a highlight, I found the seating to be a bit cramped. Our server was quite friendly and knowledgeable but a little slow in service, especially during the weekend rush. Overall, it’s still a great place for authentic Mexican dishes if you don’t mind the minor inconveniences. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Casa Franco last week after hearing great things about their tacos. They did not disappoint! The tacos were bursting with flavor, and I loved how they made their own corn tortillas. The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for a casual dinner. The only downside was that it took a little longer than expected for our food to arrive, but the staff was very apologetic. Overall, a fantastic place for Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had an awesome meal at Casa Franco! The atmosphere is cozy, yet lively; it sets the perfect backdrop for a fun dining experience. I ordered the tamale platter with a side of rice and refried beans, and it was an explosion of flavors. Everything tasted fresh, and I appreciated the generous portion size. The service was prompt and friendly, and the prices were reasonable for such quality food. I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Casa Franco is one of my favorite spots for Mexican food! The authenticity is clear; everything is fresh and made with care. I was particularly impressed by their carnitas and homemade toppings. The only downside was that the service could have been a bit more attentive, but overall it was still a great dining experience. I can’t wait to come back and explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been to a good number of Mexican restaurants but Casa Franco stands out for its authentic flavors. I had the carne asada tacos, and they were seasoned perfectly and had just the right amount of char. The rice and beans were superb and complemented the main dish nicely. This is definitely a spot I'd return to, and I recommend it highly to anyone who loves quality Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about Casa Franco. The food was good, especially the chili rellenos, but I expected a more vibrant atmosphere. The service was also a tad slow, which detracted from the overall experience. On the other hand, the quality of the ingredients was evident, and I appreciated that they made everything fresh. I would give it another try during a less busy time to see if my experience improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic food and friendly service make Casa Franco a must-visit. The street tacos we ordered were fresh and bursting with flavor! The crispy chips and salsa were delightful and paired perfectly. Even though the restaurant was busy, the atmosphere was lively and fun. I’ll surely be back for Taco Tuesdays, what a great deal! " (*Curated Review*)
