I read this was Michelin Guide recommended so had to try it. I really struggled with giving it 4 stars over 5 as it was really close. I think now that I know exactly what I like here, next time the visit will be 5 stars. My favorite item of the night- campechano taco (tripe & grilled steak). It was so flavorful and juicy but not overly wet/sauced. I also really loved lengua (the meat) but felt my lengua quesadilla overall was too wet and did not have enough cheese. The carne asada taco and adobada tacos were good but I did... read more

I was thinking 3.5 but rounding up to 4 stars because TACOS. I waited a minute before checking them out. Dined on a Friday afternoon and were seated immediately. We sat at the bar and ordered our tacos. The staff is very helpful and friendly and the space is large with various areas for seating. I had the: All tacos ordered with everything. Tacos de Lengua: Delicious amazing, perfect tender lengua, with the right small double tortillas. A little heavy on the sauce, thankfully it's not spicy. Carne Asada: ok, like... read more

Food: Carne Asada Taco - a bit salty and didn't have that really smokey taste and smell to it. it was somewhat missing flavor to the meat? it also had beans! it wasn't bad it was still decent but i've definitely had better. Adobada Taco - also missing some flavor to the meat but still a decent taco and soft tortilla Mixita Fries (Carne Asada + Adobada) - loved the crispy fries. it had lots of potato and was made perfectly. the asada had some smokey meat peaces which i liked. the adobada was decent with it. the sauces and ... read more

Food tasty. Ordered 1 mulita and it was enough to share it. Lots of carne asada meat , cheese , and guacamole, all the fixings and wonderful tasting corn tortillas. Service needs help or better system for to go orders. The hostess took our order to go, and she didn't check the kitchen or behind her when the waiter set our order on shelf behind her. We assumed she ignored it because it was a door dash order section , but we stood there and iour order sat there. Until we asked where our food was after waiting for 15 -20mins ... read more

this place tops EVERY taco place i've ever had. they do not play with the tacos and load them up. the fries were the BEST asada fries and i dream about them; they're crunchy and soft in the middle i would say i wish they added more crema other than that still fire. the only thing they need to add is a to go bc it's a dine in only. other than that 100/10.

Hi, Mara. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!

Was anticipating trying this spot out for awhile and I finally went last night. I ordered the two chicken tacos and 1 carne asada. I enjoyed the tacos while I was there. But then I got home and had excruciating pain in my stomach. As I sat at the restaurant I did notice multiple employees going back and forth to the back. one employee making herself a snack. And I didn't think too much of it. But now after getting sick I think they really need to check on the precautions they are taking behind the counter. Will not ret... read more

If you love ordering food the way you want it, this ain't Burger King--you definitely can't have it your way at Tacos El Frank's in Plaza Bonita Mall. At Tacos El Frank's, every order is a mystery meal. The last three times I've gone, they've managed to mess up the exact same order. I know it's a complicated request, but somehow three carne asada tacos with only guacamole seems to be beyond the limits of modern technology. What usually happens is they'll forget the guacamole completely. Then when you point it out, they han... read more

(1/5) I've visited the Plaza Bonita location multiple times, and every single visit they've managed to mess up my order. My request couldn't be simpler: a taco with cheese, meat, and guacamole. Somehow, that seems to be an impossible task. The food itself has potential, but the repeated mistakes from the cashiers and servers completely ruin the experience. It's frustrating to pay for an order and have to double-check every item because accuracy seems to be an afterthought. Making a basic taco order shouldn't feel like bra... read more

riday afternoon my wife and I set out on date day. We are in search of our favorite taco spot. We are from south texas "RGV" and when we go and visit there is not a location that doesn't have good tacos! I will start off with the location it has nice setting inside and outside. We sat outside as it was a very nice day out. After reviewing the menu I went with a cabeza taco, carne asada taco, and a carne asada quesadilla. I was meet with huge disappointment when I got the quesadilla it was in the same size as the regular taco... read more
