" What a gem! The birria, tacos, and menudo were absolutely delicious. I've eaten in many Mexican restaurants, but this place truly feels like home cooking. Make sure to try their fresh tortillas, they were the highlight of the meal. My family will definitely be regulars here! The service could be faster, but the food is worth the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" Francisco's is a wonderful place for authentic Mexican food. The warmth of the service makes it feel like family! I had the menudo and it was hands-down the best I've ever had. The only downside is the parking can be a hassle, but the food and cozy atmosphere made up for it. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I didn't enjoy my experience. The place was dirty and the service rude. The food wasn't fresh; the tacos were dry and tasted old. I expected better after hearing the hype. Will not be returning anytime soon. It's disappointing as I wanted to like this spot, but there are better options for Mexican food out there. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit, and I was blown away by the quality of the food. The birria taco is a must-try, and the fresh, handmade tortillas make everything taste amazing. I didn't have much interaction with the staff, which was fine, as I was focused on enjoying my meal. Definitely planning to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Francisco's based on the reviews, and overall, it didn't disappoint. The tacos were good, albeit a bit overpriced for the portion size. The atmosphere was pleasant, but service could really use some improvement; I waited quite a while to be acknowledged. Nonetheless, I'd consider visiting again for the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Okay, let's start with the positive! The handmade tortillas are a delight, and the flavors in the tacos are truly authentic. However, I found the service to be slow and confusing at times. I had to remind the staff about an item I ordered. Despite the hiccups, I enjoyed the food, and I'd give them another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want authentic Mexican food, look no further than Francisco's. The flavors are rich, the service is friendly, and the ambience is inviting. We had a feast of tacos, all of which were fresh and flavorful. The only downside was the wait time, as it appears many people love this spot. I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)
