Informal Tex-Mex fare & margaritas star at this roomy branch of a statewide chain.

Everything was wonderful from the time caller in to the time we left. I tried the Salmon tonight and it was fabulous, it had a nice crisp on top and was moist underneath, it was placed on top of a creamy garlic sauce and served with a lovely mix of grilled veggies & rice. I would definitely order again. The server was very attentive and the restaurant was clean.

Kristina’s in Garland – A Hidden Gem for Brisket Lovers!
I recently stopped by Kristina’s in Garland and was genuinely impressed. Their brisket tacos were absolutely delicious—perfectly seasoned, tender, and packed with flavor. You can tell they take pride in their food.
The customer service was top-notch. Friendly staff made the experience even better, and the welcoming environment added to the charm. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing a quick bite, the vibe is relaxed and inviting.
One of the best parts? Speedy service. I didn’t have to wait long at all, which is always a plus when you’re hungry and craving something good.
If you’re in the area and looking for a satisfying meal with great service, Kristina’s is definitely worth a visit!

We visited Christina’s for an early Valentine’s dinner and had an incredible experience from start to finish. We were greeted by a gentleman with an amazing personality who immediately made us feel welcome. We were quickly seated and served fresh chips and salsa while we looked over the menu. The team was on it — providing attentive and seamless service throughout the evening.
I ordered the birria tacos, and my wife had the steak and chile relleno with shrimp. As someone who’s a tough food critic, I have to say the food was outstanding. Everything was flavorful, perfectly cooked, and served hot. The margaritas were refreshing and icy — the perfect complement to the meal.
Our server was attentive, consistently checking in and making sure we were well taken care of without ever being intrusive. From an industry professional’s perspective, this experience was a solid 10/10. We’ll definitely be back!

We’ve been dinning here for years and we just experienced the worst Mexican food ever. No seasoning, no taste, the chimicanga was a floured tortilla. Worst ever. I cant see us ever returning. The enchiladas were the worst. We don’t feel good leaving this type of review but someone needs to know what’s going on.

Mexican food is always our go to. We love Cristina’s, but also have a couple of other places we frequent. If we are on the fence deciding where to go, I call ahead to see if David is working. He is the absolute best server you can find. He is friendly, attentive and pays attention. Our glasses never go empty and our chip basket is always full.
We love their fajitas and sweet tea, but love our server even more.

What a hidden gem up in N. Garland. Good people. Super relaxed atmosphere. Amazing food. And a very generous all day happy hour for food and drinks. Plus they have the super hot salsa here!

I was disappointed in our visit. There was prior notification of a party of 30 people yet you provided only 1 server. Like seriously ? The server seemed irritated to serve us. It took forever to get our drink orders , to place food orders and over 30-45 minutes to receive the food orders back. Yes, I was timing it. Several were incorrect to include the to go order for 1 guest. Had our server been more diligent on checking on her guest she would have found out several of us were military. Her reaction to having to redo the tickets were noted and the “demand” to see said ID was the icing for me. You may have a decent restaurant and food but you will never see my business again.; first and last visit for a few of us. Mind you, 1/3 of your guest were from out of town. Every veteran in the group didn’t appreciate her attitude. Do better…..Oh, and not once did the manager come over to greet us but did others tables. PLEASE know that we will let others know how unwelcome we felt.

Wow the service here is amazing and the quality is always consistently amazing. From the moment you walk in and sit down I had over 4 workers ask me how I am and if I needed anything after and Maria had already taken our drink order! And Maria our server was the most kind and hospitable person I’ve had as server in a long time! She brought us extra limes or more tajin for my corn without me asking or even mentioning it, same with our drinks, a new glass before ours was empty. She truly cares about if you enjoy your time and meal or not as does the manager who told me how much kind comments meant to his employees and that’s why they try so hard. Truly an amazing atmosphere they aim to provide. Not to mention the food is delicious and their new black bean dip appetizer is truly addictive!

I am not the one to bring a restaurant down with a bad review but i definetely felt like i had to after my visit today. I ordered la parillada expecting fresh sizzling fajitas but was completely dissapointed when my plate was served. The fajitas were COLD and did not seem fresh at all. Seemed like reheated fajitas and the rice was also cold like it had not been put in the microwave for enough time. The only thing that seemed fresh on my plate were the shrimp and tortillas. Ontop of that the waiter seemed to have an attitude and in a rush when i was ordering. I was hoping to find my new favorite mexican restaurant but i will definitely not be coming back.
