Potato and egg taco
Misty M.

I've been on a breakfast taco tirade lately because I'm not happy with some of my faves, such as Cristan's. My family has been loyal to Cristan's for years but the quality isn't the same anymore. I get everything is more expensive these days but with the higher prices, I expect the same quality, not poorer quality with smaller portions at a higher price while I pay a convenience fee just for using my card. Cristan's has let me down too many times now and I'm frustrated about it. I'll leave them with a 3 because they still have good service, the food is good, and I know their potential.

Carne guisada with cheese, bean and cheese, and bacon taco
Brittany G.

I've been coming to this location since I was a little girl and before that my parents also ate here in their youth. I can confidently say they have been serving the same delicious food for over 30 years! They're my go to for breakfast tacos and they have some of the best carne guisada in town. Also their flour tortillas!!!! So soft, fluffy, and flavorful! As far as I can remember, they've always had the cute and welcoming pink and purple decor and it just feels like home every time I step in there. The staff is amazing as well, incredibly friendly, great communicators, and incredibly speedy service. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a taste of San Antonio. They do it so well!

Sweet tea and chorizo and egg taco
Lilith G.

Amazing food. Service is good as well, though there is only one waiter on duty, making it take longer for her to get to you. Ambience is nice. Cute little mom and pop mexican restaurant. I highly recommend.

Restaurant times

The most delicious taco and Mexican food are here. The service is very good and the staff is professional. The restaurant is clean and nice. There are many chairs and tables to sit at. I suggest everyone to try Cristan's Taco's located at Walzem Rd and Midcrown.

Chorizo, egg, and cheese tacos and bean and cheese tacos

The employees were fantastically friendly and the food was simply amazing! Homemade tortillas, awesome green salsa, and wonderfully flavored breakfast tacos! And let me tell you, they're not skimpy with the fillings!

Everything! It's always right, always fresh, always hits the spot. We go here once a month for breakfast tacos, and sometimes for lunch.

Food has always been good. However, expect to pay over $40 with tip for the carne guisada plate and two drinks. That's way too expensive.

I have been here several times. It's one of those staple tourist places that you have to visit when…read moreyou are in town. Service is fast, place is decently clean for the foot traffic, the servers all look happy and eager to work. I ordered tortilla soup, I usually like it with a cup of rice and avocado like most places serve it. However, I definitely think this is a safe Mexican food restaurant when it comes to not overdoing it with spices and the extra stuff. My soup had a decent amount of chicken. I had a mimosa, loved that they used fresh orange juice. Flour tortillas were delicious! Before heading out you need to have the sweet bread!! So goooodd!

People say when in San Antonio, do like the San Antonian's. Nobody really says that. I mean, I just…read moredid, but I also just made it up. With that being said, let's make up a review. Except I'm not actually making the review up, I've been to the place. Both San Antonio and the restaurant moments away from being reviewed. I'm always down for solid Mexican food. It's always pretty damn good. I mean, at the pure base of things, it's basically the same few ingredients, just different vessels to get it to your mouth. I'm never bad about that. I love transportation. Mi Tierra was a pretty great looking place. Plenty of space, a nice outside waiting area, plus a bakery. I have never been to a place with a bakery that I didn't like. It seemed like a very authentic place, and that's coming from a resident of Michigan. A resident that eats Taco Bell. A resident who eats Taco Bell and think's THAT'S authentic Mexican. The first thing I noticed was that this place did not seem to serve burritos. Not a marker really for me, but it was something I've never came across before. I also thought that you were stuck ordering enchiladas or tacos in a meal type of setting. Upon further questioning, you can order a la cart. That was a relief. I ended up ordering the enchiladas Verdes because sometimes I ignore my color palate and go for green. And because I can't just stop eating one form of meat, cheese, and sauce, I ordered a taco. Actually, I just ordered a taco because I wanted a dryer enchilada. Or did I order the enchiladas because I wanted a wetter taco...I don't know anymore. Anywho, I ground beef, American style taco. Now, I've always been a big fan of chips and salsa. Some salsa hits, some miss. Some salsa is pureed and is basically red water. Some salsa is just a full tomato. I like my salsa like I like my orange juice. With extra calcium. Wait. Mild pulp. That's it. This salsa pretty much hit those notes. Had good flavor and a little spice left to linger. The main course came out and everything looked delicious. Green enchiladas looked exactly like I expected. However, it took me a moment to realize I was not looking at a burrito...but instead, my taco. It was served a peculiar way. wrapped, seam down, with a little bit of the meat on top, pico and lettuce on the outside, next to it. It was a burrito peacocking as a taco. I've never seem this display before, and I have been to many Taco Bell and non-Taco Bell restaurants. The taste was pretty good, though. All the taco flavor in a burrito jacket. The enchiladas were pretty decent, too. Everything tasted like it had all the ingredients and that they were in all the right spots. No doubt about it, I was full after e

Surprised the wife with a trip to Pan Fila for her favorite hot chocolate and concha. We started…read morewith the Pan Fila Conchota combo that is a combination of the two that is 1/2 gallon of hot chocolate made using a base of Abuelitas with additional cinnamon, and cocoa along with something special. It was delicious! The concha was soft, buttery and flaky, with just the right sweetness. We took home the majority of it and it stayed nice and soft instead of turning hard like so many others. We decided to try several appetizers to go along with our concha to get a wider taste of their food than we would by just ordering a couple entrees. Let me tell you, this was a great idea! We ordered the Tosti-Ceviche Verde, Panela Asado, Mexican Street Corn, and their Spicy Bean Dip. The Ceviche Verde was excellent, the freshness of the fish and shrimp was wonderful with the chipotle mayo and avocado. We chose to have it on the salsa Verde Tostitos and it was all great combination. The Panelo Asado was a completely new dish for us and was extremely good with a savory flavor from the salsa Tlaquepaque that mixed well with the Panela cheese. Their tortillas though not made in house, are made for them and taste like mom made them. The Mexican Street Corn was great and had the perfect bit of char taste from the corn. It was creamy and flavorful, we did think it could use just a tad more lime juice though. The Spicy Bean Dip was very good. You can't go wrong with Oaxaca, Chorizo, and pieces of pork mixed with some mildly spicy beans. Our server was fantastic. She had great recommendations for us, and was quick with checking on our drinks and generally helping us throughout our dinner. The food was prepared quickly, was hot, tasteful and refreshing. We definitely will be going back, and recommend Pan Fila to all of you.
