We discovered Frank's while walking to the flea markets on afternoon. We stopped for lunch on our way back to our hotel, and returned for dinner several more times during the week. We had several different kinds of pizza, the ribs, and the shrimp and just couldn't help coming back for more. The staff is very friendly, and Frank made... More

Having known Frank since he had a little stool side corner many years ago, his business has grown and grown over the years. Maybe the best pizza in Ixtapa...His imperial shrimp is to die for(literally with the richness of the sauces) although a little pricey.. He also makes the best alfredo sauce in Ixtapa and will sell it to you... More

My Family and I ate lunch at Franks on March 26th. We ordered A club Sandwhich That was served with a Dead Beetle inside of it. This was followed up with Dead spiders on our Pizza. The Staff thought it was amusing when I brought to there attention and pretended to take the items off of the bill..

Too many check issues. Food not as good as it should be. This place relies on Frank being personable, which he is. Food is better elsewhere.

This was a fun place to eat and hang out. Frank is from Canada, and had hockey playing on all the TVs so it's a plus if you enjoy that. There was a group that wanted to watch a college basketball game and Frank set up one of the TVs with a live feed from his computer for them. The... More

Well we just got back from Ixtapa and stayed right across from Frank's, he IS the most friendly and cognisant owner I have ever met, always greets ALL of his customers and ensures a good bye and thanks for coming on their leaving. The food is great, priced well and a wonderful menu. Don't miss out on a great Ixtapa... More
