My husband and I moved to Tennessee from Colorado, and if you know… you know how hard it is to find truly authentic Mexican food here—especially real green chili. We’ve been searching for years, and this place is the real deal.
From the moment we saw Hatch green chili on the menu (and in actual photos!), we knew this wasn’t the usual “tomatillo sauce passed off as green chili.” The food is fresh, authentic, and full of the flavors we’ve missed so much since leaving Colorado. The green chili is incredible—exactly what we grew up with.
If you’re a Colorado or Southwest transplant, or just someone looking for genuinely amazing Mexican food, this place is a must. We’re so excited to finally have a go-to spot in Tennessee and will absolutely be spreading the word!

Excellent service and a cozy atmosphere. The chipotle honey salad was super fresh and the flavors mixed well. The brisket quesadillas were stuffed with flavorful and tender brisket. That was better brisket than some major bbq restaurants I have visited. Full bar available. Excellent all around experience.

We have been coming here since they first opened and we have always loved it bite after savory bite! They have the best hatch pepper salsa that’s gotta little bit of kick to it, made fresh in house. The dos tacos either baja fish (mahi-mahi), the original which is a type of (pot roast braised beef) with a fresh fried taco shell or the (shrimp and bacon) is the way we go. They also have a happy hour but you have to order at the bar or from the high top chairs.

Their food portions have decreased substantially. I order the Ahi Tuna Tacos and Large Queso every time. It has been a few months since I’ve gone and this time, they fill the queso up HALF WAY and put AT LEAST 50% less Tuna protein in the tacos. IT TASTE GOOD BUT IT IS WEAK FOR THE $40+ you spend.

A nice surprise as we were in the area searching for dinner options and took a chance. Everything was excellent. Salsa was amazing. We had the dip sampler, tacos and carnitas fajitas.

They call this New Mexican cuisine. All I know it was fantastic. Hot and fresh chips and delicious salsa. Rhe hatch chile margarita was tasty. The Sopapilla platter was amazing. A homemade blue corn beef taco, a chicken enchilada covered in hatch chile sauce which would be good on a shoe, and a corn and cheese tamale, which was to die for. Amazing meal and service. And my server Billy was top notch.

This place has a nice ambiance, and our server was great! (unfortunately we didn’t ask his name)
The food is more Mexican fusion, it looked and tasted good. Overall, recommended for a nice dinner place.

It is really hard for my family to go out and enjoy a meal due to the majority of us having celiac. We were able to enjoy our meal at sopapillas gluten-free. The server, Lori, seem to have a lot of knowledge when it came to protecting us. She made us feel at ease. And the food was delicious. Thank you. We will be back. The avocado chips are a wonderful addition to their menu. They aren’t free but worth it.

I would highly recommend Sopapilla’s! We went there for a late lunch and the fajitas were great! Great service too. We sat at the bar and Lori the bartender made what may be the best skinny margarita I’ve ever had!

This has to be one of the best restaurants in Franklin. We got the sopapillas platter which had a taco, tamale, and enchilada with rice and beans. It was incredible. and to top it off, Cora made us an incredible set of sopapillas for a dessert!
Lastly was the ambiance of this place was so cool. Perfect for getting together with friends like we did tonight!! We will be back for sure.
