    Quesadilla

    This restaurant is a great place to go have breakfast, lunch, dinner, or drinks just in general. Good food great service and very clean. The employees are very nice and it is kid friendly with coin machines available for entertainment. You cannot go wrong with this food!

    Restaurant y Taquería Cristina on Webb Chapel is a gem hidden away in the Webb Royal Shopping Center at Webb Chapel and Royal, that would probably be insanely successful if located on South Congress in Austin. What makes this taquería worth five stars? Taquería Cristina meets all the conditions of my so-called "Trinidad de la Taquería" 1) Amazing salsa that transcends description. Cristina (a middle-aged woman who owns and operates the place) serves up a steaming-hot bowl of smokey (punch-you-in-the-face-with-flavor-but-not-spicy-heat) salsa. This is simply the best salsa I have ever tasted in my life. I even got a huge 20 ounce to go container. I also like that the salsa is served at the table very hot. The salsa does not come alone, oh no. There is a bed fellow. You also get a free bowl of black bean dip with your chips as well. 2) The place is well-decorated and clean. Cristina runs a tight ship. You will sit in apparently decommissioned church pews and marvel at the wall decorations which are from Aguascalientes. For those Mexican food connoisseurs, the food is Aguascalientes-style and the Mariscos (seafood) are Tampico style. At nights there is a live band playing all of your childhood favorites, such as "La Mariposa del Taquería" or "Mi Corozón quiere Tacos" 3) The prices are cheap; which I guess is standard for Taquerías. Finally, I'd like to add that they have real Churros there. The real stuff. So stop running to Taco Hell and Baja Fake -- Come to Cristina's!

    I've seen this place for the past few years and finally decided to stop by for some tacos. All I can say is that if your looking for some grade A, cheap Mexican tacos then this is the place. I normally prefer paisanos tacos but this place is closer and cheaper. The tacos are simple. I always go for the fajita kind. Just meat, cilantro, onions, and grilled onions and salsas on the side. For 99 cents a piece plus lunch specials and 12 tacos for 9.99, you really can't go wrong. The staff is very friendly as well as fluent in both English and Spanish.

    Really good portions. Waitress was really friendly and food was good. They also have good Jaimaica drinks!

    Servers are rude as hell and can't take your order correctly. Food is mediocre and not fresh, will not be returning.

    I had been wanting to try this place for a long time, so I finally decided to celebrate my birthday…read morehere and I'm so glad I did! At first, I was a little hesitant because the menu is fairly small, but after my meal, I can see why. Every dish we ordered was absolutely a 10/10. I had the chicken with greens and shrimp fried rice, along with the fried green tomatoes and cornbread. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. I honestly don't have a single negative thing to say about either the food or the service. This was an amazing dining experience, and I will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

    I had high hopes for this location because I absolutely love Radici, and everyone has been…read morerecommending Roots to me. Unfortunately, it just didn't live up to the expectations I had. I do want to start with the positives. Our waiter was fantastic. He was very attentive, explained the menu thoroughly, and provided excellent service. The food also came out incredibly fast and piping hot, which is becoming rare these days. We started with the cornbread, and it was easily a 10/10. It was worth every bit of the $12. We ordered the fried chicken, greens, shrimp fried rice, biscuits, and hot water cornbread. The fried chicken was crispy and tender, but it lacked seasoning. I'd give it a 7/10. They served it with a house hot sauce, but surprisingly it had no heat and almost no flavor. I even asked the person I was dining with if they tasted anything because it was like pouring sauce on the chicken without changing the flavor at all. The greens were just okay on their own, but once we added the vinegar they became amazing. That made me wonder why the vinegar isn't incorporated into the greens from the start. The hot water cornbread had virtually no flavor. The shrimp fried rice was cooked really well, but it had an unexpected Caribbean-style seasoning that threw me off. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't what I was expecting, and it made it hard to fully enjoy. The biscuits were probably the biggest disappointment. They were dry and hard. One thing I also noticed is that, for a family style restaurant where you're encouraged to order several dishes to share, the tables feel too small. Once all the food arrived, there wasn't much room left, and even packing up our leftovers was awkward because of the lack of space. One standout that deserves recognition was the iced tea. It had what tasted like a subtle hint of mint and was incredibly refreshing. Easy 10/10. From the cuts of chicken we received, it appears they break down and fry whole chickens, which is perfectly fine. However, at $56 for a fried chicken that lacked seasoning, I found the price hard to justify. Maybe the cooking method or oil contributes to the cost, but I expected much more flavor for that price. Overall, I'd rate my experience a 7.5/10. Would I come back? Yes. I'd be willing to give Roots another chance and try something different from the menu. But when I hear Southern food, I expect bold seasoning and comforting flavors, and that's the one area where this meal really fell short.
