East Mishawaka Ave
South Bend's original Franky's — freshly expanded, still rooted in the neighborhood that made it.
A Neighborhood With Roots
Situated along the Mishawaka Ave corridor near IU South Bend, Potawatomi Park, and Battell Park, this location draws students, families, and longtime locals who have made it their go-to spot.
Freshly Remodeled, Same Great Food
The dining room has roughly doubled in size — clean white walls, a separate to-go entrance next door, and the same kitchen turning out Quesabirria with Consomé, birria egg rolls, and chicken fajitas in five to seven minutes flat.

Authentic Mexican Food, Made Fresh Daily
Franky's Tacos is South Bend's favorite taqueria, serving authentic Mexican food made fresh daily. Across our three locations, we follow one kitchen philosophy: fresh ingredients, traditional recipes, and quality you can count on in every meal.
Quesabirria, Birria Egg Rolls, and More
Our kitchen goes beyond the classics. The quesabirria comes with consomé for dipping, and the birria egg rolls have become a South Bend obsession.

What our guests are saying
Great spot! Food was 10/10. I had the Quesabirria & Consomé and my wife had the traditional taco meal & elote. Everything was sensational. They brought us our food incredibly fast and were very accommodating. They also freshly remodeled! For sure will be coming back!

Can one person say YUM enough! Not only are they a fantastic catering company but that amazing cuisine can be found at their local restaurant. Please do yourself a favor and try their churros. Holy deliciousness! Their food has the right mixture of everything you're looking for.... but really try the churros.

Fantastic local Mexican food place. I've been going to Franky's Tacos now for about 2 years and I usually order once or twice a week. I've always had a great experience. The food is some of the best Mexican food I've ever had and you get a lot of food for the price. They are always polite and have a good variety of options to choose from. I highly recommend Franky's Tacos!
