“Fun and festive vibes but the flavor for tacos and sauce wasn't that great. $5 off combos on Wednesdays!”

5 out of 5 stars

“9/23/2026 We had a nice dining experience this evening at Franco's. Sophia was our amazing server and we also had an opportunity to visit with Taylor our amazing Bartender and a wonderful individual. We started with margaritas and chips, salsa and guacamole. The ambiance was chill and it was a nice cool evening. My wife had the chicken fajitas with corn tortillas, rice and beans and I had the Carne asada with a chicken enchilada, rice and beans. The food was great and the service was stellar. The other staff members were also helpful in clearing dishes and providing containers for our left overs. Yes, tomorrow's lunch. Great place, food and people. Highly recommended 8/21/2024 Another wonderful dining experience at Famous Francos in Laguna Hills. We sat in the bar and immediately staff brought water and chips and our favorite bartender Taylor took our drink order. My wife had the Don Julio Blanco with Topo Chico and three limes muddled with mint and I had Don Julio 1942 chilled on a large rock. The chips and salsa are always fresh and tasty. Taylor took our dinner entree order with my wife having the chicken enchilada plate and I had the tampiqueña entree. Both meals were excellent and were brought out and served by Gabe Franco another amazing person. We ordered a second round of drinks and just enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant and the background music. Highly recommended 7/27/2024 Another wonderful evening dining experience at Famous Francos. Anna was our server extraordinare with assistance from Annie and Taylor. The ambiance is always so positive and clean. The chips and salsa were great and the drinks Taylor made were perfect. My wife had the Don Julio Blanco with Topo Chico and three limes muddled with mint and I had the mango frozen margarita. Both drinks were awesome 👌. Anna took our entree order and my wife had the chicken enchiladas Vallarta and I had the same but with red sauce. Annie brought out the dishes hot and tasty. Great teamwork, wonderful people, amazing food and drinks. Highly recommended 7/9/2024 Taco Tuesday 🌮 at Famous Francos tonight was fantastic. Drink specials and $3 tacos from 3 pm to close. We sat at the bar, and we were assisted by Shade, our amazing server. We also were greeted by Taylor and Melissa, all great people. Shade made some amazing drinks, and we both ordered the enchilada entrees, and my wife also ordered a chicken taco. A few drinks each and a great time. The ambiance is always positive, and the food, people, and service are fantastic. Highly recommended. 6/28/2024 Another wonderful dining experience at Famous Francos. Lupe was our server and quite professional, kind, and efficient. We started with drinks, and my wife had the Don Julio Blanco with Topo Chico and three limes muddled with mint, and I had a mango margarita. Both drinks were terrific. Lupe circled back and took our entree order. My wife had shrimp fajitas and a chicken enchilada, and I had the chicken fajitas. Gabe Franco brought the food out nice and hot. He is also very professional and kind and runs a fantastic restaurant and crew. The ambiance is always welcoming and pleasant. Great food, people, and service! Highly recommended 6/14/2024 Another fantastic evening and dining experience at Famous Francos. David was our amazing server with assistance from Efren and, of course, our favorite bartender, Taylor. They were all fantastic. We started with Don Julio Blanco with club soda and three limes muddled with mint, and I had the mango margarita. Okay, we had a few rounds. My wife ordered the shrimp fajitas, and I had the chicken fajitas. The ambiance was positive and perfect as well. Highly recommended.”
