Garcia's Cool Springs - Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Franklin

My daughter and I dined here around 4:30 on a Wednesday. There were about 4 other people dining. We ordered the nachos and the enchiladas. Service was slow and served abruptly with an unpleasant attitude. To say the nachos were inedible would be too nice. They were grey in color, wilted lettuce, no cheeses, and a few chopped pale tomatoes with soggy chips. I couldnt eat more than two bites. My daughters enchiladas were equally as bad. We spoke to the waitress who demanded we explain why it was bad and what we expected. She went to get the owner who stormed over and argued that he sells lots of nachos with no complaints and I was wrong. He kept demanding I explain. After 7 minutes of this he grabbed the plate and said whatever he would take that one dish off the price. We would have been far better off to go to Taco Bell. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this restaurant. Bad service, bad food, bad attitude. Too many other places to dine to waste time...

Unfortunately, mediocre at best. Bland and color less. I ordered a burrito with pork. The burrito was flat in shape (meaning barely anything in it). Just a modest amount of meat. Not even certain there was cheese. The rice was on the hard side (likely comes from a box). The refried beans didn't have much flavor. I had ordered my burrito with other stuff (tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream), but they didn't put it in the burrito as asked. Very disappointing. No colors on the plate, just brown and tan... Meaning no veggies. The queso I make at home has better flavor and the table salsa is clearly loaded in sugar. Total bill was $80. Expensive.

The waiter was nice. They brought waters quickly. The outside patio was nice.

Any of the reviews that say it's the freshest Mexican food they've ever had are being paid by the restaurant or own it. It's not fresh.

Not angry, just...

Seating here is always quick and they love to accomodate our large family of 7.

The food is delicious, fresh, and priced so low it does not even make sense with how good it is!!!

I love the pork enchiladas, guacamole, Pollo a la Parilla, and tequila lime chicken that is served with grilled veggies.

Look for the waitress who always has a cute, short hairstyle (Val). She is the sweetest and will take great care of you!

Edit to Add: We have been eating here weekly for more than a year. People who complain about cold food - I've never had this happen. Not enough salsa... Have you asked for more yet? We always ask for more and they always bring more for free. This goes for any Mexican restaurant - ask for more chips and salsa, and they will gladly accomodate. Ask you...
