We tried Franciso's Cantina on a recent Friday night. It's not a large space and it was only about 50% full. The restrooms are actually in a hallway out the backdoor and are shared by the restaurants/bars on either side. The space was clean although we did notice some cleaning supplies hanging out on some high-shelves that looked like someone forgot to put them away.
We were seated immediately and a server came by to bring us menus and take our drink orders. It's not a huge menu, but has most of the traditional Tex-Mex items we expect. Our server brought chips and salsa and took our food order. The salsa was fresh and light. The chips were dense and crunchy. There were noticeably fewer chips than at many Mexican restaurants, but still plenty to satisfy.
For dinner we had the tamales and the Carne Asada. The Carne Asada had great flavors. The meat was a little tough to bite through. Beans and rice were all fine. Lettuce, pico, and guacamole were all fresh. The tamales had a delicious sauce and didn't suffer from too much masa. The portion sizes again seemed a mite small by American standards but considering the reasonable prices I have no complaints.
It did take an unusually long time for our server to bring our bill. Especially since she came by and said "I'll bring you your check.", but then it took quite awhile after that to actually get it.
All in all, I would not hesitate to return if someone wanted to eat here or I happened to be walking by. I wouldn't make a specific effort to back though either. The food was tasty, the portions were small, the prices were reasonable, the service was mixed.
