My mother and I have frequented here ever since it was Franklin and Co. (the best restaurant that graced the street). When it changed to La Villita Cantina we were disappointed but wanted to give it a chance; we love Mexican food but what Franklin had was beyond unique (the brussels sprouts were to die for). We've been giving it a chance for a few years and today was the last day. The food is okay, though very overpriced unless you do happy hour and too small of portions. Chips and salsa are never complimentary, unlike most Mexican restaurants, and their refills are not free, also unlike most restaurants. The waitstaff (the main reason we return) is always kind... except for today. Today was the day I said goodbye. Today, while eating outside as I always do (I have tourettes so I don't eat indoors because my twitches are very irritating and people never hesitate to make me aware of it), a couple's german shepherd kept growling and barking at every dog and person that walked by. If you've ever been around a german shepherd you know the strength of their bark... ear piercing. The patrons would not quiet their dog, named Cecilia, and the manager nor the staff would ask. If that wasn't enough, a man passing by recognized the couple and struck up a conversation while smoking a cigarette. The cigarette was overwhelming, it collected in the semi-enclosed outdoor seating area (small and with outdoor shades drawn); it made me cough, which agitated my tourettes as well as my migraines. I asked for my check and a to-go box earlier than I would've liked. When the waiter asked how my tacos were I told him they were good but the atmosphere wasn't. He asked me why and I informed him of the dog and the smoking non-patron. His solution? "Then maybe you should sit inside next time you eat here." Seriously? I sit outside every time I come to this restaurant, every-time, and I am told to accommodate a dog and a smoking non-patron? That was one of the most rude things I've ever been told. I'm already casted outside due to my disability now I am being told to go inside, where I will be a nuisance and definitely not enjoy myself nor will others, because of an atmosphere that no patron trying to enjoy their food (eating is more than just about the objects on the plate) would appreciate. Thank you for reminding me of my position in this world, below everyone and everything. How dare you. Service: Dine in Meal type: Other Price per person: $30–50 Food: 2 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 2

Caitlin this is unacceptable on every level and I would rather address it with you personally. As the owner of both Franklin & Co Tavern and La Villita I appreciate your patronage but I am appalled at what you just detailed. Can you please …Caitlin this is unacceptable on every level and I would rather address it with you personally.
