Franco’s Latin Table: Reviews & Ratings
First time going, although have lived in the neighborhood for 40+ years. Great menu, wide variety, and friendly service. I don't know why I did not find this place before but I am happy to have found it now,
Never been even tho I've been a neighborhood person for years... it was wonderful! We got in very fast on a Friday, and honestly we had 2 apps and a ceviche and that was a meal. Salmon ceviche was plump and flavorful. The octopus!!! Was charred just perfectly. I loved every bite. The mustard based sauce had a kick so someone weak to spicy (like me) needed water breaks. I will come by myself again just for the octopus!
Really good. We had the lomo Saltado, the branzino, kale salad, tuna ceviche, and the mashed yuca? with chicken salad. Everything was flavored and executed really well. The lomo saltado (all time favorite) was delicious, nicely flavored; the beef was tender and the fries were nice. The fish was perfectly cooked and the sauce was also nice. The chicken salad appetizer was similarly really good. The standout may have been the salad. It was really good. The greens were perfect and the dressing was really tasty. Overall, really good.
Great food that won't tear a hole through your pockets. Aside from not having a table ready even with a reservation, service was on point and the servers always checked in with us. Space is a little too tight inside.
Fantastic chef! They create wonderful dishes, meat, vegetarian, wonderful spices, sauces, fish dishes. Friendly and kind staff!
We celebrated our daughter's birthday here at Franco's and it did not disappoint! She had a serious craving for Birria tacos and theirs was excellent! We were seated by the window for our table of 3 and immediately felt special. Everything we ordered was delicious. We of course had the Birria tacos and ordered the crab sandwich, fish tacos, chicken empanadas, and the adobo sliders. We must return again!
Came here for lunch with a large party. Sangria was nice. We order some fried plantains, dessert plaintains with some whipped cream. Very delicious. This time I ordered the fish stew. It came with rice. It has a coconut flavor and the sauce was beige in color. It was delicious. All the fish, mussels and clams were cooked perfectly. I even enjoyed the leftovers at home!
Ambiance is casual. Service staff is friendly. The food was delightful and the portions are large enough that it can be shared. All the dishes had great flavors and taste The menu had many options. A definite must visit!
In a neighborhood where there are so many good restaurants, this is definitely one you should not overlook. I had the adobo de chancho -- the pork was incredibly tender and delicious, paired nicely with a Peruvian lager. Service was very friendly, and the place feels quite intimate and homey. There's plenty of seating indoors, as well as outdoors in a parklet. I would definitely come here again!
Stopped by for dinner & got seated quickly. Our server brought us some complimentary chips & salsa. We ordered the chicken chicharrón which I highly recommend, it was crispy & paired perfectly with the dipping sauce that came with it. The ceviche mixto was disappointing, it needed some kind of seasoning, a bit of salt would've been great. Safe to say I will not be ordering that again. On to the main dishes, the lomo saltado & arroz con mariscos were both a 5/5 so yummy, flavorful & filling. Unfortunately the Halibut was just okay, lacked seasoning, specially the mash that came with it, that definitely needed some salt. I'm deducting a star because even though we got seated quickly, the service was slow. The place was pretty empty & twice we had to call the server over, once to order & again to get the check. Secondly, I asked for some hot sauce, spicy salsa, anything with spice in it & the server offered me some habanero which I gladly took. I was just disappointed to see that they charged me $2 for what looked to be 1 blended habanero. This additional cost should have been mentioned. Overall, this place was great & I highly recommend if you're in the area
