We ate at Francisco's recently and really enjoyed their number 10 combo, which had a relleno, a taco, and an enchilada (no beans and rice). We choose that rather than have two items with beans and rice. It was the same price and was very tasty. This is not a fancy place, but it's warm and inviting with local charm.... More

Great stop for Mexican food. A favorite of most of the locals. Our group goes once a month for happy hour and early dinner or hors d'oerves. Some dishes might be a bit spicy, but most love that and why it's a local favorite. More

This is a "hands on" restaurant where the owner is there and makes sure everything is right. Great food, and inexpensive too. The shredded beef is very good in the tacos and everything else. Nothing fancy, but does the trick. In our opinion, Francisco's has the best Mexican food in the Minden, Gardnerville area. More

Lunch “Specials,” [$6.95-$7.50] spouse had shredded beef enchilada and tostada; mine was two enchiladas [one shredded beef, one chicken]. Chips were obviously store bought; salsa was a bit watery but seemed fresh. The refried beans were soupy [pretty much standard for mid-day meal, they thicken as the day goes on]. Service was fine, attentive with refills on the water. We... More

Best fajitas in the Reno/Tahoe/Carson Valley area! I moved from Orange County where there is PLENTY of mexican food to be found so it's hard for me to be happy with the fajitas at any restaurant but my favorite one in San Clemente. However, I saw Francisco's and thought it was worth a shot. I have been eating here for... More

My mom just moved to Gardnerville, and she's been raving about the best Mexican place in town: Francisco's. Specifically, she said the margaritas were to die for. Went in expecting amazing (never a good idea), ended up with a resounding GOOD. Super-friendly staff, pretty good food - I had the "Mole Mexicana, which was fine - but I wasn't by... More
