I used to come to the Franklin Inn all the time, but the last time I was here was the first in over a year. The Franklin Inn used to be my FAVORITE restaurant. I am not sure if maybe it was just an off night, or if things have changed, or if my tastes have changed. I would still call it good, though I may be biased, but a little bit closer to the "fine" end of the spectrum.
It's a cute place heavily decorated with Mexican souvenirs, artwork, masks, etc. The waitstaff was different from those I had gotten to know when I was younger but everyone is very nice. I was a bit confused about the wait for a table even though there were clearly a few empty tables in the dining area.
They seem to change their chips every time I'm there, but they were good. I have gotten them alone to go in the past. I got the taco salad (as I almost always do-I love the fried tortilla bowl!). The proportion of chicken(you could also get beef if you preferred):lettuce ratio is -always pretty heavy on the meat (getting my money's worth). I think it was the dressing that didn't taste the same as I remembered. I also got a margarita, which was just as good as I remembered :)
