Frankies at the Casanova

Frankies’ at the Casanova Thursday, Oct 16 12:10 pm Frankies’ at the Casanova is right at the crossroads in the heart of Pecos. We stopped here after a morning exploring Pecos Canyon in Pecos State Park (not to be missed.) The entrance of the restaurant is festooned with planters. And the porch and patio with its chile ristras offer a homey welcome. The interior has the feeling of an old adobe ranch house with high, log-beamed, wooden ceilings, white adobe walls and an imposing fireplace anchoring the large room. We were warmly greeted and seated with our drink orders taken immediately. The menu is a mixture of New Mexican and American fare. We both ordered Green Chile Cheeseburgers with Fries. (Sweet Potato Fries were also on the menu.) The burger was good and the green chiles were diced

I enjoy stopping at Frankie's every time I go fishing in that area. They never disappoint. The food and service are consistent and excellent. I really enjoy eating in that old building. What a beautiful place and a great example of New Mexico architecture. I'm not sure if it's a historic landmark but it probably should be.

Truly had a wonderful meal with my friend Steve Rodriguez. The food was cooked as I requested. The presentation good and the atmosphere wonderful. Very clean restaurant and service great. When I return to Pecos, I will definitely come back.

A well worth drive off the highway. We were greeted immediately by the friendly staff. The interior has a rustic and old feel to it. The food was delicious and our wait staff made us feel like regulars.

On our way back from Pecos National Park, it was recommended we stop at Frankies at the Casanova for lunch. Food was fabulous, service was fantastic and we loved the historic building. The green chili stew, the beef enchilada in red sauce and chicken enchilada in green sauce were fantastic. Be sure to try their house homemade dessert! We would highly recommend. It was one of our favorite meals during our time in Santa Fe!
