Cristobal has become one of the casual neighborhood gems you're glad to have close by. The margaritas are a staple: well priced, strong enough to take the edge off, and consistently good. The "Mexico City tacos" are my go to order: flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and just the right size to keep you craving another. Solid food, fair prices, great happy hour deals, and a laid back vibe. read more

Cristobal Mexican Grill & Bar - Mexican Near Me - Richmond, Texas

Appears they got rid of most of the happy hour specials except a slight discount on house margaritas. Had the fajitas...tortillas were good, rice was not homemade (or surely didn't taste like it), average portion size and average taste. Chicken fajitas with one large happy hour margarita was $28. I want to like this place, but ambiance is bad and food is usually average. Service was very good though. read more

this restaurant is located in a small plaza tucked inside one of the entrances of Greatwood community. We came for dinner on a friday night at 5pm. The service was great, they constantly brought us chips and salsa and refilled our water! There was about 5 other families that were dining in when we walked in ~ looks like the margs were popular. We ordered the Parrillada for 2 - beef, chicken, & 6 bacon wrapped shrimp. Giving this 3/5 because the rice was cold and the meats did not have much seasoning. The charro beans were also cold, but the flavor was good - Probably the best part of the meal. Portion wise, they gave a good amount for the price. Maybe would come back again and try something else. The restaurant was not busy and when our food came out, the charro brand and rice was cold.. i'm sure if it was warmed up, it would've been better. read more

Food was Luke warm and beans tasted like they had come from a can. My husband could not eat his dish as it was not what he expected for Cochinita pibil to taste so citrusy as theirs did. The service from the back water was very nice and attentive. The actual waiter lacked in speed and care. Ambiance is just okay. The music was blaring and only three tables in the place so that was annoying. No manager in sight to ask for them to turn it down. But really, a guest should not have to tell you to turn down the music. This should be known and evaluated by the person running the place. read more

Staff were very nice, but the cheese enchiladas were the worst I've had. Enchilada sauce was supposed to be a chili gravy but tasted like and appeared to be red enchilada sauce from a can. Not good. read more

Delicious Food. Three of us, we each had different combo plates. Attentive Service. Small, pleasant atmosphere. Will definitely return. The green sauce served as a choice with the chips was very tasty. read more

Happy hour is 12pm-6pm. We had the queso flameado, 10/10. Does come with cactus and mushrooms so if your not a fan ask for it without. Margaritas were $2.50 really good size for a small 10/10. Had the birra de rez 7/10. Burrito poblano was a 10/10 according to him, for me it was a 7/10. read more

We enjoyed our steak and shrimp fajitas. We took it home and noticed we didn't get any chips for our salsa but luckily we had some in the pantry. We loved the green salsa. Yum!! The steak was tender and the shrimp were cooked well. Not sure what the red seasoning was on the shrimp but it was tasty. Not sure if grated cheese is typically not offered with their fajitas but there wasn't any shredded cheese. No worries because we had some at home as well. We will be back to try some other things. The staff were all really nice too. read more

Normally quick from kitchen to table but, not this evening. Normally good food but, not this evening. Normally the server would have said something when she got to the table but, not this evening. Normally I can put up with sub-standard service and food but, not this evening. read more

Just had dinner there Sunday, it's a small restaurant run by the family, Aurelio, the sons owner was going thru all the tables asking about the service and food. Service was good, food was brought on a timely manner, no complaints. I had Cochinita Pibil it was excellent delicious and my husband had the Chicharrónes tacos, they told him they were very hot, but he said he can take it, well he was asking for water(Margaritas) , by the way the best Margaritas we have had in a long time. We couldn't leave with out having the home make Flan.OMG I make a mean Flan but this one was amazing. Next time I will start with the Flan. Will definitely come back and have reasonable prices. read more

Went here a while back and got really sick from eating their undercooked steak quesadillas. Messed up my whole night

Cristobal makes some of the best Mexican (Tex-Mex) ever! Everything is perfectly seasoned & you can taste the care and dedication with every bite. The fajitas are my go-to but you can't go wrong with their menu! And they make some of the best pico de gallo and guacamole I've had in a long time! read more

Great food, quick service, clean restaurant and friendly staff! A hidden treasure in Greatwood.

For a hole in the wall spot in the neighborhood this place is great .. well made top shelf type drinks and unique dishes

I moved to Greatwood in May of last year. Since then, I've toured my fair share of food in my community! If I had a top 3 neighborhood restaurant, Cristobal would be the clear winner at the top spot standing proudly above the rest. The Birria is on point, that Ribeye is to die for, they make killer drinks, and their people are warm and welcoming! I've never had a bad experience there, which is more than I can say for most places around here. I've watched the behaviors of these places during the worst economy of my lifetime. While most restaurants started being chintzy and cutting portions, I noticed the portions at Cristobal got larger! Have you ever heard the adage, "Actions speak louder than words?" Instead of giving your money to Chipotle for a burrito full of rice and beans, give back to your community and go give it to these people! You won't regret it. read more

Great food and great service. Muendo hit the spot. Very good tacos and salads as well.

Reasonably priced. Food was pretty good. It's a smaller intimate setting compared to some of the bigger Mexican places out there, which I don't mind one bit. However, every table was taken. Their menu is HUGE. The only knocks I'll give them is that our server took forever to take our order and the electricity went out. There wasn't a storm or anything like so I'm not sure if this is a common occurrence. read more

Excellent food, esp the fajitas (beef as well as chicken). My friends and family had the other plates also. You can't go wrong with any of the menu choices. Service was excellent in general. Drinks (mainly margaritas) were average; some above average, like theirj special top margarita. Now for the desserts. Sorry, Orlando and Orelio, the sopapillas were flat (literally) and below average. Flan consistency and taste was great and Tres Leches could be softer, but still good. I really didn't mean to offend; it's just that we all have different tastes. Restaurant was clean, as well as restrooms. I've been here a few times, and definitely recommend it if you're in the area. It's next to Subway. read more

I think it would have been 5 stars if the food tasted good for takeout. I felt like everything was cold (even though we picked up right when it was done) and that wasn't great. They also had meat in one of the items for the vegetarian in the group. Overall, tasty food but would probably want to eat it there, not get it to go. read more

Delicious brunch, friendly staff, fast service. Loved the Cancun breakfast plate!! Will definitely try again.

This place has been open for about 4 months according to our server, Ricardo. Word of mouth is a good source for discovering new places and this is what brought my wife and I to this neighborhood restaurant this afternoon! What made this even more fun is the fact that it is practically in our backyard, as we live in the neighborhood! This place used to be Carlos Tacos I believe and unfortunately it did not last very long. But interestingly enough, the food must be really good here and the prices good because, the buzz is what drew us in! Well they do have pretty good lunch specials priced under $10. I ordered the beef enchiladas and my wife ordered the tamales. While we waited, we were served a scrumptious basket of chips and salsa! I especially liked the green salsa! Quite a unique taste in it's own way! The enchiladas were very good by the way! Served piping hot, the portion size was very generous! Actually so generous 2 could actually split it! The same was true of my wife's. Needless to say we were both rolling out of there. Ricardo was the consummate server. Constantly checking on us and refilling our drinks; the whole experience was 5 stars! Man I'm so happy they have a decent Tex Mex place here in the neighborhood..Now we don't have to drive to Rosenberg or Lupitas in Sugar Land as often when we crave Mexican food! Go check it out! The service is great and so is the food! read more

Great food. Good family atmosphere. Friendly service. Definitely a hidden gem. Go check them out.

Went there for a birthday and 4 out of the 10 people at dinner got food poisoning. Makes sense why the place was so empty. The staff was nice though. read more

I could write a super long review, but I'll just say this. Cristóbal Mexican Restaurant blows the doors off of Papacitos, Larry's, El Rancho, Los Cucos and anywhere in between. They don't skimp on meat or fixings. Plus, you'll feel great supporting a local small business. Ask for the flan. You'll be glad you did! read more

We were down in Richmond today and looked for a restaurant before returning home. I saw the Cristobal reviews and decided to take us there. OH YUM! Everyone at the table said that their food was just excellent. Beef fajitas, a Tex-Mex combo plate, and mine, ahem, the al pastor pork tacos with grilled onions and spicy pineapple. Oh my stars! We didn't have anything from the bar, but my Arnold Palmer is one of the best I have ever had. The tea was super fresh and the lemonade appeared to be homemade. We live a LONG way from here (an hour), but this food is worth a drive again and soon. read more
