Las Barricas

The food is good but the service has become lackluster. We used to be regulars here but now seldom frequent.

The staff is very friendly. The food is good and very clean. The carne’ asada and taquitos are very good. I’ve been here several times and the service is very consistent and the restaurant is very clean.

This place is great. Texas margaritas are amazing and fajitas are delicious. Highly recommend!

Well at the time I looked this was the highest rated Mexican restaurant in Franklin NC on Unilocal.So I went.
I was seated fairly promtly and brought a menu, chips, and a little flask of salsa. I started to eat the chips and salsa. Finally I finished the salsa and still no order taker had come by. I saw them around tending to other tables, but evidently I was invisible. So it was time to start the countdown… when do I get up and walk… and just about 5 seconds before time to bail he comes over! No apology for being gone forever.
I order the combo of 1 enchilada, 1 chili relleno, and one 1 burrito for $ 9.99. When it comes I started to wonder, did I get 2 enchiladas? Where is the burrito? I started eating them and cut each open to figure it out. The insides were the EXACT same thing. Cheap unexciting ground beef and sauce. I move to the chili relleno and expect cheese to come out when I cut into it. NOPE! Inside is exactly the same ground beef sauce as the enchilada and the burrito! OMG… I cant believe this! There is some melted cheese scatter around it yes but NONE inside.
When the sauce is the same exact sauce no matter what your eating there this place deserves one star! It wasnt really very good either and I had just tripled down on it with three different menu items all being the same thing inside. What terrible luck.
I asked the waiter which one of these 2 things that look exactly alike is the burrito?
He points to one and says that one has a corn tortilla around it so its an enchilada. The other has a flour tortilla so that makes it a burrito. Good thing I was sitting down to hear that. I have never had the experience to have a restaurant make a tortilla exactly like an enchilada, same size, same filling with the ONLY difference being the tortilla. Since there was a sauce over the top it was hard to notice the difference in the tortilla. Pictures are posted you be the judge!
The only plus in this place is that it has free wi-​fi. This restaurant is on the road south, highway 441 which is called Georgia Rd at that point. Maybe they have a captive audience there as they would never be viable anywhere else.

We went in the middle of the afternoon. The salsa and chips were good – the chips were hot and the salsa tasted fresh. But, sadly, that was the best part of my meal. I ordered the Chicken Fajitas. The meat was chopped into fairly tiny pieces and was very bland. The guacamole was pretty much tasteless green goo. The flour tortillas were awful and unlike any I’ve ever had with fajitas. It took several swallows of beer and some chips and salsa to get the nastiness out of my mouth. My husband said his lunch was merely OK, nothing special.
Very disappointing as we’ve had good food there before. Not sure if it was the time of day or change in management or what. But, there’s definitely something off here and I probably won’t try it again.

Decent food — great service … Overall fair experience, I eat there pretty frequently and will go back.

We stopped for lunch here on our way through town. We were very pleasantly surprised by the food and service (as the parking lot was practically empty when we pulled in at 12:30). Our entire lunch, including beer and cheese dip was just over $ 20.
We had the Pancho Special as well as the chicken chimichanga. Would highly recommend both. Our food came out really fast and our server, Ivan, was very attentive. We’ll for sure be back if in the area!
