Are you the missing ingredient for our team? Franklin Inn Mexican Restaurant is located in a thriving and growing area of the North Hills of Pittsburgh in Franklin Park, just minutes from the 279 (Camp Horne) and 79 (Mt. Nebo and Wexford) exit. Established in 1978, the Franklin Inn focuses on Mexican food and beverages served with neighborhood hospitality.  We possess a friendly neighborhood eclectic vibe in a casual setting with appetizers, entrees, desserts, margaritas and more featuring better ingredients mostly scratch-made in-house.

Public Kitchen hours are currently 4 pm to 9:30 pm weeknights and 4 pm to 10 pm on Friday and Saturday.   We very occasionally offer a special event outside of these hours. We are looking to add to our kitchen leadership team.
