 I have been to the Franklin Inn a couple of times recently.  It quickly
 became one of my favorite places.  It is not fancy inside, but the Mexican
 food is fantastic, and so are the Margaritas.

 I recently tried the Franklin Inn a couple of weeks ago.  Having
 moved here from San Diego a year ago, I have to say that the Mexican
 food was of mediocre quality at best.  I ordered the carne asade
 burrito, but got ground beef.  The beans were uninspiring, tasting
 like they were from a can.  My wife had some seafood-type burrito
 and was also unimpressed.

 I haven't been to any other Mexican places here, so I can't compare,
 but I won't be going back to Franklin Inn.
