It was my first time coming here the food was Delicious
This is my new Holy Grail of flour tortillas. You can see where they had puffed up and left those little brown marks on those beautiful thick fluffy tortillas. My grandmother and my mother made tortillas just like this. This place is not near me but I will definitely go there again. When the tortillas are this good you just want to sit down with a stick of butter and a stack of tortillas. Okay that sounds wrong and I can't do that but that's what I want to do LOL. Carne guisada was not my favorite, I'm a friend of the brown gravy carne guisada. This is a little bit on the red side but still really good and the meat was incredibly tender. My friend ordered the nachos, and like always I wanted the nachos then LOL. They gave you a nice wallop of guacamole, the chips were nice and thick and held up well and the cheese was well, cheesy. I tried the Mexican plate. Looks like their taco shell for the crispy Taco is made in house, delish, the picadillo was really good. Enchiladas don't use red tortillas, so if you're that person don't order the enchiladas. But as far as beef enchiladas go, they were very good. It's probably all in my head but without the red tortilla it just becomes a soft rolled taco lol. And if you like your food piping hot, and i do, you will love burning your mouth on this yum wrapped food. Tea was great, good enough to get to go. And the service was excellent. Very friendly staff. This friend and I are already making plans for breakfast! Ill be dreaming about those tortillas.
Been coming here with my family for as long as I can remember. The service is always friendly and the food feels more like comfort food. To me, the tortillas are the best part of Cristans.
I go to this restaurant because it's my client's favorite restaurant to go to the service is great the food is great the atmosphere is warm and welcoming
Oh my goodness, this place has the best food!!! I ordered the enchilada/taco plate and it tasted like Grandma made it herself . The service was great and we will definitely be back!!
I’ve been stopping by for 15 years! Their breakfast is still great! Their green salsa is good, staff is very friendly.
Delicious combination lunch of Enchilada, Chalupa, Beef taco and rice! Even the flour tortillas were fluffy and tasted great!
Absolutely love this place and the owners! The food there tastes like my grandmother's homemade food and I can't think of a better compliment.
