Lunch fajitas were perfect, salsa is a bit thin, pico de gall was just ok, no spice. Service is spot on, friendly and attentive. Large space, plentiful seating with a bar read more

I have passed by this restaurant so many times and have never been here today. I made the stop. The customer service there was absolutely amazing every single person that spoke to me, asked how I was doing and how was my day they were so friendly. I love the decor. It gives definitely the vibes. The chips and salsa was really good. I love a mild salsa. That's not too spicy. The queso had a slight kick to it. It was really good and the chicken enchiladas were absolutely delicious. read more

I'd probably gave this place Another shot chips and salsa was fine. The taquitos were amazing with the side of queso. My steak fajita left much more to be desired needed the steak to be seasoned better and to be cooked a little longer, but overall I'll try this place again if in town read more

Been dining here for four years. In that time, the food quality has continued to decline. Last night, not a full restaurant, and it took 45 minutes to receive our order. It was an uncomplicated order: half order nachos, two children's dinners, side of beans, and carne asada. When the food hit the table it was lukewarm. Even the chips were off. Usually, they are so light and crispy. I know the two other tables near us had issues because the manager was called... didn't get what was ordered. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. I truly hope this review has a positive impact and the restaurant returns to its glory. read more

We have driven past this restaurant for YEARS and finally decided to stop and eat lunch here. I should have stopped in sooner. This place is beautiful and the food and staff are amazing. We will place this restaurant on our list of places to visit. read more

The ambiance of the place looks real nice. The customer service is also really nice. We felt real welcome at this place. They served chips and salsa when we came by. I ordered the Chile relleno and they were nice enough to make it vegetarian for me. I forgot which one my husband got but he really enjoyed his meal as well. We will definitely make this one of our go to spots when we don't feel like cooking dinner! read more

Cristina's Fine Mexican Restaurant - CHILI RELLENO DINNER - Mexican Near Me - Forney, Texas

Great food. Love the Brisket tacos. Yummy chicken enchalada. All served today by a very delightful young man. Best Mexican food in Forney!

Food was good and hostess staff and male servers and bus staff were all extremely cordial, relaxed and very professional. However, the female servers were literally running around like chickens with their heads cut off, very rude and running over guests, including elderly customers without so much as an apology. Witnessed this happening several times throughout the evening. VERY unprofessional female servers. Take a tip from your male counterparts--I understand you want to turn tables as quickly as possible because you want to make tips, but remember other servers' guests who you run over tonight may be in your section next time (if they dare to come back)...and WILL remember how you treated them when they were in your restaurant the last time. read more

This place was so good! We sat at the bar. Ordered brunch and it was super good! Great bartender. He was super helpful and friendly! We will definitely be going back! read more

Firstly service was awesome. The food however was not. Ordered as an appetizer nachos with cheese and jalepeno. The chips were stale. The cheese looks like it was painted on with a tiny brush. The jalapeños, while good was not plentiful. I for my main course ordered fajitas. It looked good as it sat there and sizzled,but lacked any flavor. Neither the guacamole or the sour cream could save it. Thankfully they left out the salt as well. It felt like that it was a lack of quality ingredients. My own personal opinion as others may have a different view, as they would be entitled. This my honest impression. Too many Mexican Restaurants around that do it right to come back here. Shame as this is somewhat close to home read more

The stars for this place on Yelp caused me to sit in the car out front for a while to actually read through a little to determine if I would step foot inside as I'm not Big on eating at places that have less than 4 stars UNLESS I read WHY & am willing to take a chance. I did just that here and took a chance. I took away a star immediately because they do not have a guest wifi and my plan was to come in and work while enjoying some lunch. I actually walked out after I was told there was no wifi and decided to head back over to Starbucks to work and once back in the car my stomach started grumbling so I headed back inside and used my phone hotspot temporarily. I read that the shrimp tacos was the best shrimp tacos a Yelper had tried before which prompted me to order just that minus the bacon. I had the black beans and a Mango Sangria-Rita which was super tasty. The server immediately brought out warm tortilla chips and salsa when I was seated. The server was very short and un-attentive but I am thankful for the other table server who came over to check on me and took my food order for me. The shrimp tacos were amazing I was so stuffed leaving out of this place I almost got rolled out :-) There was plugs at every (booth) which is very helpful so thumbs up there. My server and the lack of wifi are my factors in providing my review with stars provided. read more

I love this place they the Best Tamales and their Hot Salsa and Tableside guacamole Delicious I recommend it to Everyone

Clean, fair price, great food, wonderful service. I've gone to Christina's for close to 20 years. The location in Forney is consistent with the other locations so kudos for that guys. Keep it up!! Great fresh salsa table side guacamole and table side tortilla soup. Note to the lovers of heat: they do have a good hot salsa too, just ask for it!! It's amazing drizzled over any choice of their tacos!!! Everyone I've ever taken goes back. If you haven't, CHECK IT OUT YA'LL!! read more

We just had our 130th visit to Cristina's! Everyone treats us like family. Food is always consistent and our waiter Alex is like family and knows what we order and takes the time to visit with us. Ambiance is great and always so clean. Management is excellent! Delicious always! read more

When we first moved here 9 years ago we tried all the Mexican restaurants to find a favorite. Now I remember why this place wasn't it. To start the hostess was slow and really seemed like she didn't want to be there. She was borderline rude or just snippy. The queso was watery and bland. The meal equally bland. The service was so-so. Even the salsa was flavorless. We chose to go here more out of convenience because we had stuff to do right around here. But skip this one and go down the service road about a mile west. The patio seating is probably the best thing going for this place. read more

Looking to try a new restaurant after church. Drove by and decided to try this place. I was seated immediately, which was nice since many places have a wait on a Sunday. It was during brunch so the brunch menu was available ( pretty limited) with $3 mimosas- extra dollar if you want proseco. I decided to try the grilled tilapia in a garlic sauce with veggies and rice. The verdict- the vegetables were tender and had a nice seasoning. The rice was cooked perfectly and also had good flavor. The fish was brought out on a cast iron plate, still sizzling. The beans were ok, but could have used a touch more seasoning. The fish had less texture than I am accustomed to. It was a little mushy in places, but the garlic seasoning was flavorful. I ordered a 2nd mimosa with Prosecco and this one was much better. Overall- I would come back. read more

Can I just say that Johnathon went above and beyond tonight. In a world that struggles to find good service in the restaurant industry - they have found an amazing man to help us tonight. This evening I wanted butter with my tortillas, not margarine. He went digging! He tried to meet my request with such fervor. He found it! I had such a wonderful evening with my family. The food was delicious. Thank you Christina's!! read more

Cristina's Fine Mexican Restaurant - a table full of food - Mexican Near Me - Forney, Texas

We're new to the area. We've been to Cristina's twice now for lunch and loved it both times. It's a really nice place. The food was great - well prepared, seasoned just right, and served hot. The service was excellent and the restaurant seems relatively new. Nice decor and clean. We'll definitely be back. read more

Shrimp tacos are amazing. I also enjoy the guac salad as an app instead of the normal guac bowl. The my wife likes the fajita tacos.

My friend lives in the middle of nowhere so we were looking for somewhere to eat that was close by. I found some places on Google and this is where we decided to go. Food was good. Service was good. Would definitely come back. I ordered fajitas and really enjoyed the chips and salsa too. read more

Picked up dinner tonight from Cristinas - ordered a Guacamole Mexicano ($10.25) and a Queso Mexicano ($9.50) and this guacamole is MAYBE 3/4 of a cup worth. I also had to season it when I got home because they didn't even add salt or pepper or anything else to it. Also no jalapeños at all - when asked for extra spicy :) Save your hard earned $$ and DO NOT order this guacamole. However, the loaded Queso is pretty good. read more

Firstly, who doesn't love visually stimulating decor when you walk into a dining space? I do! Christina's may not necessarily seem like fine dining but I truly enjoyed everything from their impossibly thin and crispy chips and salsa (would love a spicier option) to the perfectly portioned sampler plate that is a complete steal at $8 because I enjoyed it twice for leftovers!! So far I've enjoyed dining in and ordering pick up and the quality is great. I only too one star away because the salsa is very safe, but I enjoyed everything - from service to happy hour margaritas! read more

Cristina's Fine Mexican Restaurant - Greeted by that donkey! - Mexican Near Me - Forney, Texas

Premade expensive Mexican food. Guacamole is not fresh tasting, consistency of canned guacamole. Food came out so fast, it was like they don't make to order. Ordered the steak & enchiladas, shrimp quesadilla and taco salad. Shrimp quesadilla was ok at best. Shrimp seemed like cocktail shrimp with cheese. Steak and enchiladas was unremarkable. Not flavorful enough to justify the $16/per plate price tag. Taco salad was just something to eat. We were both starving and even that didn't help. I ended up bagging my steak to go. Maybe I can use it later? I'm Mexican and the Pico de Gallo was not authentic enough (wilted onions served atop wilted lettuce with old tomatoes). Like I said, everything seems premade. $56 dollars for it all. I want my money back. 2 stars because at least it's edible. read more

If you consider this fine dining I'd hate to see what you would consider bad. Beans taste canned and old. Rice hard and crunchy. Veggie tacos not at all flavorful. Poorly seasoned. Not much of anything going for this place. Servers are nice enough, but the food is just sub par. I have given this place a few tries and it stays the same. Need to work on the blandness of the food. read more

I love the tortilla soup, even if I don't have a cold. The beef and chicken fajitas are our favorite. Stall is always friendly and efficient. read more

Jaun and Iveth have taken care of better than anyone has in a long time! The service was great, and the food was hot and delicious!

Highly recommend this Christina's location! read more

Literally the best shrimp tacos ever! This place is always crowded but amazing service.

Not great, honestly not even good. Terrible service, subpar food. Hardly any flavor. The service is not very good, salsa is bland literally tasteless tomatoes chopped up. read more

My family and I went here on a Sunday evening and we had a delicious meal! We got the carnitas burrito and the shrimp tacos. They were both outstanding! Also the top shelf margarita and the blackberry mint margaritas were awesome! We will definitely be going back! read more

Always good, not the best, but good quality food. Service is usually very good. It's definitely better than Rio Lerma!

OK so we've been going to Cristina's 2x's a month for over 1 year. We tried some others in Forney but this was our favorite. Our family really loved it. Read that love-ed. it was definitely our favorite restaurant of Mexican food. It was delicious until about 3 months ago. I don't know if they changed out the buyer manager and portion control manager but these managers are obviously bad at their jobs and I say that because they changed up and bought Ebenezer Scrooge(s) menu for QUALITY and Quantity. Use to be large portions of whatever we ordered and now it's just skimpy on the portions. Food quality with their beef and chicken is just so bad. Thinking back on it I'm now wondering what it was that I actually ate...makes me cringe at the texture and taste. We seriously didn't want to give up on Cristina's so we kept thinking it was a fluke and would get better. Accept it didn't and last night was the last straw. We ordered two separate fajita meals (1 chicken & 1 beef for hubby and myself) 1 chicken tacos meal (for older son) as well as a bean burrito meal no sauce (for another son). It was awful!! Oh gosh that steak meat was literally like I don't even know how to describe it other than to say it tasted like fake meat from a discount market and the chicken tasted completely gamy and was gross. We all were so disappointed. I will say the only part of the meal that was just ok was the rice and beans and those have a different taste from what they originally 9 months back tasted like when we first began eating there. The guacamole recipe is still good but the quantity is so tiny now. Something is definitely up and someone or someone's are dropping the ball and have ruined the quality of beef and chicken on their menus. We decided to not go back and to start searching for a new favorite Mexican food restaurant. Any ideas please send them our way. read more

My in-laws took us out to dinner with the kids and we had a great time! The food was flavorful and fresh, the drinks were delightful and the staff was attentive. It was busy, I think every table was full so there was a little bit of lag time between ordered and getting our food. However, we were just enjoying conversation and playing with the kids so I have zero complaints. Great for families and great for any meal! Will definitely return. read more

Food is OK, but few authentic dishes, not much of it, and expensive. I've enjoyed better meals at Taco Cabana for half the price.

Christina's isn't bad. For Forney. The shrimp tacos are pretty good. There are several types of beans to choose from. The servers are always gracious and welcoming and usually you will be greeted by a manager. Good chips, with re-fills aplenty. Yummy flan (doesn't that warrant a 3-star; just for good flan alone?) Overall, nothing to write home about. But for Forney? One of the better choices. read more

Fast service when we went at about 1pm. First time here. Food is a Tex mex menu, not authentic Mexican, Food......ok‍
