Pueblo Real Mexican Restaurant - Franklin: Authentic Mexican Cuisine & Margarita Flights

My wife and I were in town for a family gathering. I had a taste for a margarita, so we decided to try Pueblo Real. Great choice. We hit the bar first. I tried a flight of margaritas (4) which included traditional (lime), peach, blackberry, and mango. I am a traditional guy, but the peach won! My wife tried a traditional on the rocks and really liked it. The chili lime seasoning on the rim was a great addition. I ordered the fajitas Texanas which had shrimp, chicken, and steak. It was awesome, but way too much food. My wife had the cheese dip appetizer, fried avocado appetizer, and grazed off of my plate. Everything was fabulous. Our bartender and server were great. The restaurant was busy and it had a wait, but hanging out in the bar was a great choice. The wall leading to the restroom had autographed photos of celebrities that had been there. If you are in Franklin, Tennessee, Pueblo Real is well worth giving a try. We will stop in again when we are back.

Very clean restaurant. Food was amazing. The beans were salted nicely. Margaritas were spot on and if you don't like sweet and sour they have fresh squeezed lime juice. Ask for Jorge at the bar top if you sit there. Hard to find authentic Mexican food in Tennessee but this place is legit!

I always forget about this gem. Best queso in Franklin! They are affiliated with Tito's, but never as slammed. Atmosphere is way better than Tito's, because it's not nearly as loud. If you want to hit up downtown Franklin but don't want the wait times and craziness, drive a little up the road. I recommend the chorizo queso!

10/10! Since moving to Nashville we hadn't really found that go to Mexican spot - until now! Despite it being a 30min drive and passing numerous other options on the way, this is the place to go. Extremely nice staff, quick service (but not too quick you feel rushed out the door), absolutely delicious and fairly priced!! Only $75 dollars for 3 people to eat and take home leftovers, which is unheard of these days. It does feel a bit small to dine in just from the proximity of the tables, but nothing that would deter me from going back.

This place is fabulous! They have a few tables outside if the weather is nice, and they have a small bar in the back that seats 6 or 8. If there is a long wait I'll look at bar for an openings. They offer several kinds of Margaritas, I got one of the Top Self and it was very good! For dinner I got the Chicken Fajitas, delicious! I replaced the bell peppers with grilled jalapeños to kick up the heat a bit! They were soooo good! The service is always fantastic!

Yummy, It's hard to find good Mexican Food, but Publeo hits the spot everytime. I love the fajita quesadillas!! The prices are great and they give you soo much food. The staff are amazing, fast, and provide great customer service. The restaurant is a family friendly environment. Highly Recommended!

I know folks who frequent Pueblo Real are devoted! like a cult following. So we had to check it out. Restaurant was pretty full on a Wednesday night but we were seated right away. Staff is very friendly and there are obviously a lot of regulars. That always speaks well for a restaurant. Menu is pretty standard. I went Taco Salad with Fajita chicken meat and it was very good. I like a taco salad that actually contains lettuce and this was solid in that category. Good meal.

This is one of our favorite places in Franklin. The service is always spot on and everyone is so nice. It's noisy like a good restaurant but not too loud. You can still have a good talk with your table mates. The food comes out quickly and is always good! One of my favorite things to get here is the margarita flight!

This place has the potential to be a great Mexican spot within the area of Franklin because Mexican is semi limited around here. We entered and were sat immediately by the hostess who brought us chips and salsa and our menus. We were munching for a while before our waitress came to us. She asked us what we wanted to drink and if we wanted anything for an appetizer. We ordered queso. It took a bit of time for her to return with our drinks. But that was forgiven once I tried their horchata. It checked off all my boxes for me (sweet, creamy, light, no chalky aftertaste). We had a couple of questions about the menu, and we were ready to order. We both got the special pueblo, which says it comes with shredded chicken and ground beef and cheese. When we ordered, she asked us what meat we wanted, and we said oh we thought it came with the meat in the menu and then she said oh you can actually get whatever meat you'd like. But she didn't mention there's a dollar upcharge for changing the meats. We just saw it on the bill at the end. It would have been nice to know that beforehand. The food was decent. The ground beef burrito had more flavor than the steak. The steak was tough and bland. The rice was tasty. Our server did not check on us to see when had run low on chips and beverages and then again after we got our food nowhere to be found until we done to give us our check. I'd come back for the horchata and maybe try a different dish if I'm back in the area. Overall, the breakdown is: Horchata 5/5 Chips, salsa, queso 5/5 Service 2/5 Main dish 3/5
