    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    Greeted by that donkey!

    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!

    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.

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

    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.

    Pablo's offers tasty Tex-Mex in a cool, casual atmosphere. Also it is super convenient for Heath…read moreresidents.

    Decided to come here and try the food instead of heading out to our regular spot in Heath for…read moreMexican food. I'm not sure if it was just a bad day to come here or what, but the fact that it was so busy did not match the experience that we had. Although the drinks we got were ok, the tajin rim on my cucumber margarita was barely existent. It was maybe a few flecks of tajin. Then when our food came out, the rice looked completely bland. Jasmine rice with zero flavor is certainly an interesting choice for a Mexican food restaurant. We ordered queso and it just tasted like melted down velveeta with some tomatoes in it. By the time the queso came out, we were out of chips. Instead of bringing us more, we had to ask our server several times for some. Felt out of the ordinary for a restaurant as typically they'll just bring you more chips? The tomatillo sauce was very good on the enchilada, but that was about the most flavor of the entire night. I don't know that I would recommend this place to anyone... just drive 1 minute up the road to Manny's! To top it off, the whole vibe of the place feels weird. Extremely upscale on the outside, but as soon as you walk in it's just odd. Additionally, two enchilada plates and queso with two margaritas came out to $80. This was extremely expensive for the quality of food that we received.
