Description: We met Frank, owner of Frank’s, on the sidewalk handing out coupons for "his joint." Frank told us a good story about himself. Originally from western Canada, he moved to Ixtapa a few years ago and has since opened a restaurant. The location of Frank’s is behind one of the main shopping plazas (south end). It’s not far, but is out of the line of sight of most passerby. So someone works the sidewalk to direct customers to the location.
When we went to Frank’s, we were surprised to see the place almost full (slow time of year). The place is open-air with shade. The mood was more like a sports bar - fun and louder. The menu was a mix of friendly Mexican fare and American staples. Frank was working the whole place and talked with the customers all the time when he was not giving orders to his staff. The service was very good the portions large, and the price was reasonable. Although Frank’s was fun and he would do anything to keep you happy, the food itself seemed to be prepared with less skill than most. I have no doubt that standards of preparation were high, it’s just that the taste was bland and flavor unexceptional. This is a fun spot and a good one for someone who does not like spicy food.
