cristina's fine mexican restaurant

i don't know what some people are ordering, but everything i have tried here has been fantastic. consistent excellentserviceand wonderful food. best tex-mex in the area.

solid. went to cristina's for dinner this wk on tues evening. was seated promptly, brought chips and salsa quickly.

got a swirl margarita, which was nice and potent. thumbs up.

had a cup of tortilla soup which was good, then for the main course it was pescado benito.

the main course...large portion of grilled tilapia piled on plate, covered with a tasty combo of sauteed spinach and mushroom. served with other sauteed vegetables (carrots, squash, with a sprinkling of corn and black beans as well). a second side plate of rice, charro beans, tomatoes and avocados. it was very tasty and very filling.

one drink, cup of soup and a main course ran $28 tt&l, but the food quality was definitely in the range to make it meet its value.

overall theservicewas good. waiter for the most part was attentive and hustling. he brought me another table's bill at the end, but that was not a hiccup of substance.

will definitely be back to cristina's. i got there at 6:30, and it's a good thing. i was seated immediately. had i arrived at 7:15 there would have been a wait, which is indicative that cristina's has a good thing going.

p.s. the bar area is extremely small. as in microscopic. don't go to cristina's with any size group if you plan to hang around the bar for cocktails. there are maybe 6-7 seats, and a dividing wall close behind them which partitions the bar from the main dining room. people were sardined in there like...well, sardines. literally. just a heads up in case you're thinking group or cocktails.

consistently good tex-mex food.serviceis always good. extremely fast during lunch hour! our family really enjoys cristina's table side guacamole. definitely recommend this restaurant.

great salsa! best i've ever tasted! lots of onion and cilantro, if you like that sort of thing! my husband and i ordered the fajita special, mine was chicken and his beef. i've had fajitas a lot of places, and to me, they were just ok. i didn't care for the flavor and a bit on the rubbery side. husband said the beef was ok but not tender.servicewas fine. no complaints there. all in all, loved the salsa but it's not enough to make me go back.

best burrito ever. we started off intending to go to blue goose but they had an hour wait so we decided to try cristina's and i'm glad we did. the ej jimador carnitas burrito that i ordered was awesome, so full of flavor. my husband who is super picky loved the beef enchilladas. we had a group of 6 and did have a bit or a seating snafu due to less than observant hostess staff but other than that our visit was great. theservicewas not the quickest but the food was really good and very reasonably priced.

food and service. poorservicepoor food quality, long time to get food and then cold. staff was disrespectful and managers as well many other mexican restaurants in the area that exceed by far over this horrible place of business

good food, goodservicegood prices and consistent!

friday lunch. we have driven by there many of time and it was always packed. the location in frisco is absolutely wonderful. a few of my co-wokers and i went for lunch and loved the food. the customerservicewas phenomenal. we will definately be gong back again.

going south. the location at the tollway & parkwood seems to be going south, when i first dined there food &servicewas excellent but each time since the food &serviceboth seem to be less & less desirable. most recent experience was bad,servicewas especially bad, its as if they are unhappy to see you from the minute you walk in the door, hosts no smiles, not welcoming just robotic, sat for several minutes before anyone greeted us, after greeting a long wait for drinks, server upsold margarita without asking & they tasted like lemonaid, sat for long periods of time with empty glasses, food was inconsistent, some plates terrible (dark brown, obviously over cooked puffy tacos & very dry tasteless brisket tacos) & some food pretty good. staff just doesn't seem happy there, think its time to find another place to eat mexican food.

chritina's never disappoints.serviceis friendly, without being overbearing, and the food is always tasty. a really nice alternative to national chains. highly recommended.
