    Krystal was a fantastic waitress and always smiling. . Food is excellent. We've been coming here over 20 years and it never disappoints.

    When you head west on 1171 leaving behind the hustle and bustle of 2499 there isn't a whole a lot out there to see. With that said, you could still blink and easily pass this place by. The original location of Cristina's is situated in a small strip center in a beige building with a gas station attached. There is nothing pretentious about it's rustic home, inside or out. and it has remained the same for years. I love the fact that upon being seated fresh chips and salsa are rushed to the table. The regular salsa is decent, composed of standard ingredients, albeit a little on the watery side. For those who want some heat though, they are happy to oblige when you request a spicier version which is not only hotter but also more flavorful in my opinion. For me, margaritas are a must when having TexMex and they have plenty to choose from here. They offer several flavors of frozen swirl margaritas but I only ordered mango so I can't comment on any of the others. I would have liked to have tried another flavor, but I underestimated how much 20 oz actually is and my stomach was running out of real estate! As delicious as the one was that I did have, it could have used quite a bit more tequila. At first inspection, my chicken enchiladas with sour cream sauce looked very plain. But one bite in I knew I had made the right choice because the flavor was outstanding! My husband and I agreed that they were much better than his beef enchiladas which come smothered in meat sauce. As for the rest of party, they gave their thumbs up when I polled them on their entrees of different types of burritos and fajitas. A kids meal hamburger with fries for my youngest one turned out to be subpar. It included an overcooked burger and undercooked fries. I realize that places don't usually put the same care and attention into kids meals as the regular dishes but I'm still dismayed when they're noticeably thrown together. Even though the overall rating for the food and drinks is a little above a 3 (based on past and present visits) factoring in the prices elevates it to a 4. These days especially I've had to brace myself for sticker shock every time I go out. But here they have kept their prices reasonable, unlike at many other establishments.

    Went for lunch with my boyfriends parents to try the famous Cristina's. My favorite was the decor and lunch atmosphere, very chill. I was surprised that the restaurant is next to a gas station. We tried their Birria tacos which were advertised, but they just didn't do it for me--kind of dry, not enough cheese, not enough consume. The chips and salsa was great and the combo plate was great. Our server was helpful and attentive. I would definitely go to Gloria's, Mi cocina or other tex mex places if I was in the area again. But for a weekend lunch, this did the job.

    Cool little Mexican restaurant basically out in the middle of nowhere. We have passed this place a million times but never stopped. It's actually kind of hard to find because it's in a strip mall with a gasoline and you almost wouldn't even know it's there. Service was awesome. No wait line, and they got us right in to be seated. Immediately had food and drinks ready to go. The kept the chips and salsa stocked on our table at all times, which to my family in imperative ha ha. Food came out great except the onion and the peppers for the fajitas weren't near cooked enough. Needed at least another 5-10 minutes in the skillet. Overall great place to go and will be back again.

    We have been going there for 25+ years. Love it. Flour tortillas are amazing and any of the tacos are the best around.

When there was a mixup on the order, I ordered chicken enchiladas with sour cream sauce and was given cheese enchiladas with sour cream sauce , the manager/Head chec came out and said "you confused the server when you ordered so that's why you got the cheese. Here is the chicken enchiladas". I said "No, sir the confusion wasn't on my end, I pointed and read off what I wanted, which was chicken enchiladas." He put my plate down, blamed me again, and walked off. I didn't expect an apology, but never have I been confronted and blamed for a mix up on the order. Extremely weird. Me and my wife came in smiling and in a good mood and was extremely nice to the server. We left feeling the exact opposite. With tip, an appetizer, two drinks, two pina coladas, and two meals we spent $100. I hate I gave my money to this place.

The server was very nice and was very attentive when we needed him. The house margarita was very good....not to strong, not too weak just right! I had the Sofia's platter for my dinner which had beef and chicken nachos, chicken flautas, mini quesadillas and mini brisket chimichanga. The food was good the only thing I can say is there was too much refried beans on the nachos so all it tasted like was refried beans. My favorite was the mini quesadillas though. We did have a snafu as the person who's birthday it was she had to return her food as it was not good. So that was disappointing as we were all there for her and all she was able to have was chips and salsa as she didn't want try anything else at that point and a margarita but the restaurant took care of it. Will I return again? I'd give it another shot as another person had the shrimp fajitas and said they were amazing.

I didn't want to write them off completely before giving them a second chance though, so I came back with my family for an early Mother's Day dinner. On a busy Friday night they were fully prepared for the rush. Fresh chips and salsa arrived at our table just as we did. Happy hour hadn't ended yet, so we ordered a round of margaritas that also showed up quickly. Already this was an improvement over the previous visit. It was when we got our entrees that I was reminded of why I originally lost interest in this place. My chicken and cheese enchilada meal was about as average as it gets. My husband and sons had the same impression of their meals. To be clear, there was nothing wrong with any of the food. At the same time, there was nothing special about it either. Another thing that didn't help the situation was when I asked for their spiciest salsa they brought me a tiny cup that contained maybe a couple tablespoons of it. I didn't realize until the bill came that they charge extra for it. Furthermore, it was barely hotter than their regular salsa. Had I known all that, I would never have bothered with the request. Now, I have no problem with garden variety Tex Mex as long as it's priced accordingly, but I expected more here due to their higher prices. Fortunately, there's a Tex Mex place on practically every street corner and Mi Dia isn't the only game in town.
