The steak taco was packed with juicy, tender strips of perfectly seasoned beef. The al pastor was bold and full of rich seasoning, a real flavor bomb that made me wish I had ordered two. The carnitas were soft, flavorful, and loaded with meat \u2014 no skimping here! Each taco was topped with fresh cilantro, chopped onions, and a squeeze of lime that tied it all together beautifully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sides of rice and refried beans were exactly what you\u2019d hope for: comforting, well-seasoned, and the perfect complement to the tacos. But the real star of my lunch was the fresh guacamole. It came out perfectly chunky and vibrant, with that unmistakable just-made freshness. I loved the touch of sliced jalapenos on the side so you can adjust your own level of heat \u2014 and of course, I went spicy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/franklin-county\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/12\/Story-1-photo1-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24588\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/franklin-county\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/12\/Story-1-photo1-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/franklin-county\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/12\/Story-1-photo1-2-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/franklin-county\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/12\/Story-1-photo1-2-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>From the upbeat atmosphere to the delicious food, music playing, and TVs on, La Finka Mexican Grill delivered a lunch that left me smiling (and full).
