Francisco’s Restaurant was born from a deep love for Caribbean flavors, culture, and family. Established in the heart of Rochester, Minnesota, our restaurant has become a vibrant destination for those seeking authentic Caribbean cuisine made with heart and tradition.

The restaurant began as a dream of our father Francisco to share the rich heritage and culinary traditions passed down through generations. From our humble beginnings, we’ve stayed true to our roots—preparing dishes just like they were made back home, with bold spices, fresh ingredients, and soulful recipes.

As a family-owned and operated business, every meal served at Francisco’s is a reflection of our family’s passion and pride. Whether you’re here for our signature jerk chicken, oxtail stew, or a taste of our homemade plantains and rice & peas, cuban sandwich you’re not just a guest—you’re family.

Over the years, we’ve grown thanks to the love and support of our local community. But no matter how much we expand, we’ll always remain true to our core values: authentic food, warm hospitality, and a welcoming Caribbean spirit.

Welcome to Francisco’s Restaurant—where every dish tells a story, and every visit feels like coming home.
