Restaurant was busy when we got there, took a moment for someone to greet us & get us a table. Once we were seated we were given waters, chips & salsa right away. Took awhile for someone to come & take our order, food came decently quickly. Food was very mediocre, we got a margarita which was not good. Also got a rootbeer that tasted off. Took forever for the waitress to come back to see if we needed anything, we had moved all of our plates to the end of the table & still took them forever to come back. Would definitely not recommend. read more

Always great food and service. Used to go a lot for lunch when I lived in Wisdom but had to "do" Butte shopping. After all you can't eat Wisdom's Antlers Saloon pizza everyday, or can you? read more

Delicious food and atmosphere. Friendly staff. Can't wait to go back. Going to take the whole family this time. So cute inside. I didn't even know we had it in Butte. read more

Just fine! I know Christina's has been a staple to the Butte restaurant scene for several years, and I'm curious how it came to be - in the land of pasties, steak and sammiches. (hardly any information is available online about its inception) It's definitely an alternative to your regular western cuisine, but it's still mostly that. Westerny. Lacking in the spice department - I had to ask for hot sauce since señor Tapatío and señorita Cholula weren't readily on the table. Still, you know, it's a place the community gathers, Three Amigos is better in my opinion, but they both offer different things. As always, the drinks were stronk! read more

Good food and drinks. Friendly staff. Green Goddess Dressing is the best. Chips and salsa excellent.

The food made me want to throw up and cry. The salsa was just tomato and onion in a bowl. Natalie also spat in my food before she handed it to me. When I asked her why she did it she said that she didnt like my southern accent and that I sounded like an inbred redneck. Also it kinda smelled like weed and cheap taco seasoning. read more

Go get yourself some food. It's real good. I'll go there again. Chalupa's are always hot. Unlike three amigos they give you more than a Coke spoon of bean read more

04/25/2024- The service was excellent but this isn't Mexican food. No flavor, no heat and they serve mushy Spanish rice instead of Mexican rice. Menu says beans and you get beans not refried beans. Taco salad was tiny and not worth it. Very disappointed since it was our first time. read more

Really like this place the food the people and the service. Plenty to chose from and everything we've had is good.

Christina's has been consistently serving great food for a long time. We have never been disappointed in any of our meals. Love the 'extra' hot salsa they give with your chips so you can add a little kick to the regular salsa. The place is very popular and can get busy during peak times of the day. Suggest arriving a bit early to beat the rush. read more

We love Christina's! They have the best of everything. It's a casual, friendly place. The menu has something for everyone....especially the chicken cilantro rolls and the festive drinks. read more

Great food! My family loved all their dishes. Their margaritas are big and yummy. The rice was seasoned really

My husband brought me here for lunch today. The wait staff was friendly, the cleanliness was top notch, our food was really good. We definitely be back again. read more

Always good. Fast friendly service. Good laid back place for lunch or dinner. Large portions.

This place was just meh! I always like to say I judge a Mexican restaurant by their chips and their chips were not good, bland. I got their chicken cilantro roll and it's was ok. But nothing special. Barry could taste the cilantro. However their green sauce on the side was good. I don't think I'll ever go back since I'm just visiting Butte, and wouldn't recommend. It's nothing special. read more

Ate here a few days ago me and my girlfriend man I had to eat a roll of tums afterwards such bad heartburn if the color red has a taste they've nailed it I dont think I'll be back. read more

Great service, everything else is was just so bad. The salsa was made w canned vegetables and had zero spice to it. The margaritas are made with top shelf tequila and liqueur, but the syrup mix ruins it. Do yourself a favor and make your tacos at home if you're considering coming here. Even if you're a bad cook, I assure you it will be better read more

My wife and I always like coming here. They usually have great service. Their chips and salsa are a great snack, and they have good drinks.

They were busy when we went in however the service was poor and the food was bland. There wasn't anything that tasted authentic about it. The chips were bad, the salsa was tasteless and the rice...I dont even know how to explain it. Had to ask for beans and rice even though the menu stated the dinner came with it. Definitely will not go back. read more

I enjoy going to Christina's Cocina. Usually I don't notice how great it is until I go out of town and go to a restaurant serving similar food. We are lucky in Butte to have such good variety (except when it comes to Asian food) in our dining options. Christina's chips and salsa are great and they give you a small thing of hot sauce so you can heat it up to taste (I like mine SPICY) I love the chicken cilantro rolls and heartily recommend them. Sometimes the wait staff is lacking personality and seem like they're going through the motions. They don't have a high turnover so they must treat their employees well. I guess they're just not the most outgoing folk there. The food is consistently good, though, and I've never had a bad meal there. I am craving some Christina's right now. read more

Do not go on weekend nights; the place gets real busy, the wait for a table can be anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes, and some seating is in adjoining McGrath's Bar, which may or may not be a good thing depending on if you have minors with you. While Christina's offers to-go orders, these are provided at the discretion of the kitchen staff. Usually, on busy nights, the cooks will decline to-go order requests. read more

Busy place but not sure why. The most Mexican thing about it is the name. Truly Americanized Mexican style food. Cheap chips and canned processed everything, bland and tasteless. I will not be back. read more

Very good food and pleasant place. Very family oriented, affordable and quaint. The staff were friendly and the portions sizable- as expected. Their homemade salsa was very good and had a nice kick. Good quality food and a fair price. It's slightly off the beaten track, but still easy to find. To be honest, I did not have big expectations from this place, and was pleasantly surprised. I would def go back the next time I am in town! read more

Not bad. Not a whole lot of good Mexican restaurants in Butte MT but I would say this one is probably the best. The chips and salsa are actually pretty good. The tacos are decent. Service was prompt and attentive. read more

We like it, great service, price was fair, food was good, we go there a lot and will keep going!

If I could rate this place a zero, I would. The dishes were way overpriced, the food tasted like everything was out of a can and had no flavor to it, and the floor and utensils were dirty. We had to ask for our money back on the carne asada dish, and, luckily, they gave the money back on that one. If you want an authentic Mexican food experience do NOT come here. The server even had the audacity to tell us that we should have told her earlier about the dish so she could have it "fixed"--sorry, lady, but ain't no fixing that smelly meat you served us. read more

Average Tex/Mex fare for an average Tex/Mex price, but a good beer list for a Tex/Mex restaurant, some microbrews, above and beyond the usual thin, watery Mexican beers and the tired "BudBudLiteMillerMillerLiteCoorsCoorsLite" recital of the equally thin and watery big-name American beers. read more

Came to butte for wrestling tournment. Stopped to eat. Not authentic at all. Very disappointed. Great place to get a burger.

Great little Mexican restaurant in butte. The service was perfect, food was tasty. I especially enjoyed the cilantro chicken roll.

My family and I went there for fathers day. Had to walk out, food on the chairs and on the floor. No one took the time to clean up the area, that we were to sit. I told the cashier that the area was very dirty. I would not go there again. read more

If it's Mexican food then this is the place to go. Get the Fajita Burrito. No disappointments. Chips and Salsa are the bomb!

About what I expected, based on other Yelp reviews - good, but not great, slightly overpriced, good service. For a restaurant that boasts about it freshness, my first basket of chips tasted stale. If Christina's Cochina wants to deliver freshness, their chips should be served hot out of the fryer, not cold. I could get better cold chips at a grocery store. Pork burrito was tasty, just not outstanding. read more

The food at Cristina's was good when we started eating there 5 years ago. We go less and less because it now seems like all the sauces and even some of the dishes either come from a can or are pre-prepared from a restaurant supply. It's just ok now. read more

Went there for lunch and we were happy to discover this resturant. Waitress was knowledgeable about their menu and gluten free options. Good option in Butte, perhaps understaffed for a holiday lunch hour. read more

Visiting MT from the Chicagoland area, went to Butte to "see the sights" where we saw a sign for the Cocina and remembered it was mentioned in a to-do-in-MT booklet. The neighborhood didn't look promising, but the restaurant itself didn't turn me off so gave it a shot. Pleasantly surprised to find good "Mexican" in central MT. The chips and salsa were great, loved that you get a red chili sauce to spice up your salsa to your preferred heat. My burrito was good, the rice was different than what I'm used to, but it was good. We had wanted to try the fried cheesecake dessert but were way too full. My daughter who doesn't like Mexican had chicken strips and fries, which at most Mexican restaurants are barely passable, were really good, large pieces with nice crispy fries. read more

I order party trays from this place all the time... I ordered one to take to bozeman and specifically told them what i wanted without chicken wings... They gave me the whole 83.00 dollars worth of wings...when i called to tell them... The owner mike was very vulgar and rude...i will never patronize that business again and will spread the word. read more

Wow! Great place. 18 of us stopped for lunch our way home from a long trip. Fantastic food, great service. Amazing cilantro lime sauce!

More like Cochina Cafe. Ambiance was pleasant. Service was adequate, even though it took forever to be served and we had to ask for silverware more than once. Cheese inside enchiladas not melted. Burnt rice crumbles scraped from the bottom of the pan. They tried to cover the taste with a nasty verde sauce. Gelatinized flan was from a plastic tub at Wal-Mart. One star is generous. Unfortunately, this is the only non-fast food Mexican in Butte. It's worth the drive to go elsewhere. read more

Christina's Cocina Cafe - Save your money and buy it at Wal-Mart. - Mexican Near Me - Butte, Montana

I had dinner this evening at Christina's and was not impressed. Based on their pricing, the entire experience should have been excellent but it was far from it. The chips were not good, in fact, they tasted like they were a day or two old. The salsa tasted like it was out of a can. There was no cilantro in it which is pretty standard and basic for a decent salsa recipe. There were 3 cases of jewelry and purses for sale which I thought was sort of odd for a Mexican restaurant to be selling in a food establishment. Lastly, I paid 17.29 for (2) Enchiladas dinner plate. This price was excessive for food that was bland and basic and to be frankly honest, tasted like it was manufactured and processed. All in all, there really wasn't anything "Mexican" about this place except the decorations. My advise to the proprietors would be to overhaul your menu and check the flavors and/or spices you use. I would also suggest re-evaluating the pricing by a lot! If you are going to be charging someone 17.29 for 2 enchiladas, your reputation should be that you are the "best around". The wait staff and service was good at this restaurant but that is the only good thing I can say about it! Unfortunately, I didn't go there for service alone! Food quality and pricing are also factors. I don't think I will ever be back simply based on their over inflated sense of value (Menu prices). Their sodas were 2.50 a glass! Soda is all profit! If they charged 1.50 or even 1.99 a glass, it is still hugely profitable. read more

This was very good fresh Mexican food. We had fajitas and it was excellent and generous portions. Their salsa and chips was excellent as well. Highly recommend. read more
