Do you have anything that is heart healthy with low salt?

Tex Mexican food is know to be low salt but I'm sure they have some foods that would be .Definately not the salsa lol

do you have a keto friendly (NO SUGAR) menu including a skinny margarita mix?

Take a periodic break from Keto and enjoy the great food and alcohol.

Tortillas were fresh, fajitas were just meh. I'm not a big green pepper fan so the veg mix for me was not a win. Other family members got enchiladas and burritos -- those looked good but didn't try them. Chips were very fresh and they served salsa frequently and individually, which I always prefer for germ-containment reasons.

My favorite Tex-Mex in the area. Very attentive staff. Warm chips and salsa but one of my favorite things is the warm salsa (careful it is very spicy) which you have to specially request but there is no charge. Dome of our go to items are beef fajita nachos, brisket tacos, and my boys favorite is Molcajete Tapatio (Jack cheese, peppers, mushrooms, and onion with red chili sauce with either carnita or bricket that is cooked in a mini cauldron and served with flour tortillas. Will definitely have to split with someone.

I am going on 3 years here in Texas and this is the first Mexican food that tastes like southern Californa Mexican food. What I've been searching for for 2 years! San Diego/TJ Mexico food.The food was deliciousI The salsa was tasty and not to hot or spicy. The flavor of the beans were perfection. I'll say it again, "The food was delicious!" The service was great! The waiter was polite and listenened to us. He even discribed the sauces on the food and asked if we like those sauces. Good job young man! That was helpful.I loved that the place was very clean! Especially at this time in 2020! It has a pleasant and colorful atmosphere, nice artwork on the walls. The music was low and pleasant. Christina's will be my favorite place to go for Mexican Food from now on in Texas!

We went for a co-workers birthday; got there around 11:40 and it wasn't busy. I got the lunch combo of tortilla soup, a cheese enchilada with chili con queso sauce and got some corn tortillas. The soup and enchilada were barely warm; there were two tortilla strips in my soup and they tasted stale. The corn tortillas were nice and warm but they tasted like rubber. Another co-worker got the same combo with the avocado soup and another got a bowl of avocado soup; both said theirs were barely warm as well. Very disappointed. It will be a while before I return, if I return.

Usually awesome...was very busy& I understand that...as a former waitress. I was not greeted for 9 minutes. Seen my server 2 times. Asked for LIMES got a lemon. Enchiladas were mostly tortilla and hardly any cheese. Hopefully next time will be better.

We stopped here for a quick bite between shopping. We were greeted promptly and sat immediately. Our waiter, Alejandro, was wonderful. He served ya quickly, our food was delicious and we were in and out in less than 30 minutes. A manager came by to make sure someone had been with us and every employee we encountered was friendly. Great place for relaxing with family and friends and we can’t wait to go back and visit!

This is our go-to Mexican restaurant! Service is great, very quick and my order has always been accurate. This is noteworthy because I always customize my order. Additionally, this place has amazing veggie/vegetarian options. Their veggie blend is carrots, squash, peppers and onions, and i think something else, but it actually is filling and diverse as opposed to most places which basically just have toppings. I usually go for the veggie tacos, but the veggie quesadillas are very good as well. I also tried brunch their recently and it was SO GOOD!!

Wonderful service. Food was spectacular and delicious. Celebrated a birthday and they came out with ice cream and sang Happy birthday. Manager walked around greeting people which made us feel very welcomed. Also bathroom was super clean, I personally love the sink it looks like the inside of a clam shell and was so pretty! But overall great experience here and highly recommend.

Very good experience here! The last time i went to a Christina's (In 2005), i wasn't impressed. However we decided to try it out again. Such a good choice! The food was delicious and service was great! I would recommend trying this place if you haven't. The chips and salsa are a must! Chimichangas were tasty and so are the strawberry swirl margaritas.

I'm not a person, to write reviews but I wish I can give a 0 star. I called and ordered some food for work function. The guy apparently couldn't understand my order and instead of asking to confirm my order, he put in whatever he wanted, which was nowhere near what I ordered. Picked up the $50 worth of food and it wasn't enough because it wasn't what I ordered. I have ordered this same order before so I'm very familiar with what I ordered. I called to complain and the store manager asked my to pay for another order for something they got wrong.

My friend and i cane in yesterday. The entire time we felt like we were being rushed. The door said they didnt close til 9 but we were told the kitchen was closing so we quickly ordered. Good came out fast. Had two margaritas each. They were $10.50 but had NO alcohol in them. They even stacked the chairs at the tables around us. Extremely rude. Was not worth the $70 we spent. Will not be returning.

Good quality texmex food. Margaritas, house frozen, were very good.Flan was not as light and fluffy as it should have been, very very dense. Not enough caramel and definitely not enough caramel sauce.Carnitas tacos were okay; have had much better, but meat was seasoned well and taste was still good.Fajitas were good, nothing special though.Restaurant clean and maintained. Chairs were a little low compared to our table height and seat pads long gone.

Good location, good employees and good service. Fair pricing for average food. What I like most is the location, atmosphere and cheap drinks. The waitstaff are professional and always dressed nicely. The female staff wear actual nice long black flare leg pants (never leggings) and the manger even wears high heels with her pants. A nice touch this day in age where sloppy and ultra casual has become the norm.

Christina's is located in the Firewheel shopping center. Make sure to sign up for points at the front desk every time you sine there. The food and service is always good and if you sign up for text or email rewards then you get coupons. They usually have specials based on holidays or special events. Their salsa is very good and they sometimes have after dinner shots for free.

Yasss... They brought back the flaming shrimp brochette. Service is always good here....Standard Tex-Mex...done well. Nothing over the top(except flaming shrimp) but everything is good.Good margaritas, beer-ritas....Good prices... Nothing will break your pocketbook.Stop and get your Tex-Mex addiction satisfied.

Food was very good and good quantity for the price. Atmosphere was nice. Ran out of water and tea a cou5of times and had to ask someone other than my server once for more. Which happens everywhere so not a huge deal. Otherwise, would have been 5 stars

We went there this last Wednesday and the food was really good. We've been there a handful of times and the food is always good and so is the service. This location is much better than the one in Murphy, not sure why, but the flavor and quality is much better at this location.

Not good not bad completely average food.The flavor of everything is average at best. No spice no real Mexican flavor just sort of bland.There are much better options for Mexican food in the area. Only come here if you don’t feel like leaving the mall area.

Went here for my birthday and the service was great. The chips are okay, but not my favorite type of chip. Seemed a bit stale so it could have just been an off day. The fajitas were not good though. The meat was very tough and not in any way tender. I could not eat it on a tortilla because I would have to gnaw on it for 10 seconds to cut through the meat while holding up the wrap to my mouth. So I was left with eating them with a fork and knife.
