Casa Franco — Restaurant in Mission Viejo

We absolutely love Casa Franco. We recently went and my husband and I each had a three item combo plate. My husband got a crispy beef taco, a chile relleno and a beef enchilada. I had a crispy beef taco, a pork tamale, and a beef enchilada. The combo plates come with refried beans and rice. Both the beans and rice are delicious. The crispy tacos here are so darn good! So flavorful. The shells are wonderfully crispy. The pork tamale was awesome. The masa was nice and soft, and the pork inside was really good. The enchilada with beef was also really good.

This place has the best Mexican food I've had in a long time. It's been there for 40 years. That says something about a small hole in the wall place. Clearly they are doing things right. Food: you can tell its made in house from only fresh ingredients. Chips: made in house from fresh cut corn tortillas. They are the amazing thin, extra crispy kind. The guac is the best I've had at a restaurant in a long time. You can tell its made with avos they cut up in house, and all the other bits were fresh too. We split the fajitas between 2 people and still took half of it home.

When looking at the prices it seems high, but the amount of food and quality, you get is totally...
