    two margaritas and chips
    Angela T.

    Food was tasty. The tacos I got for $14.75 came with rice and beans. I opted for no beans but sucks I still only got one serving of rice or that the price wasn't less with no beans. Service was great. Good ambiance. On Thursday's they have the margarita special, I got one for $7.99, extra for it to be flavored.

    I am actually quite surprised at the negative reviews. Yesterday we went for our first time after a round of golf and we thought the experience was fantastic. It was quiet for 8 pm on a Saturday but we think that's attributed to the ongoing 4th celebrations. The restaurant itself is well cared for, well decorated and felt like someone put a lot of thought into it. We were quickly greeted and ordered our drinks. Chips and salsa came out. Love the thin, crispy chips. We ordered the queso fundido with chorizo and guac. It's our go to whenever trying out any new restaurants. The queso comes out in a flaming hot bowl for the cheese to mix in front of you. We have had something similar at Glorias. This was delicious and we rolled.our own tortillas which allowed us to do what we wanted for filling. The guac was super creamy. We would totally order both again. For our dinner, he got the two brisket burritos with queso. Brisket tasted great and came in two mini burritos. No complaints. But believe me he wanted mine when he tasted it. I got the chicken fajita chimichanga with ranchero sauce. Normally, I'd do a queso but wanted to switch it up. The ranchero sauce was light and didn't over power the contents like queso can sometimes do. The chicken chunks were HUGE and completely filled the changa from head to toe. Flavors were great. No bad pieces (I am picking when dealing with chicken) and still quite juicy. It was a monster portion too. Overall, great experience and we will be back.

    Went to Christina's for the first time yesterday for Cinco De Mayo. The food was great - the only Mexican food we've liked in the Wylie / Murphy area. The blackberry mint margarita surprised me in a good way. Only complaint is the bar was really behind... could be because of Cinco De Mayo. We ended up having to cancel our second drink order because we finished our meal and the drinks were nowhere in sight. It also seemed like there wasn't a designated bartender or if there was - they kept leaving the bar. I just don't see how the bar would get that backed up with the amount of people that were in the restaurant.... Overall the food was good and quick and our server was good and kept us informed on the bar situation. Would like to come back during a normal weekend to see if our bar experience is better.

    I think Cristina's is always a safe bet for a good meal. Service at the Murphy location is particularly good. They're fun and professional at the same time - nice, fast and quick to bring plenty of salsa and chips (and refills of both). I ordered off the lunch menu and got the lighter lunch: Avocado soup and a single beef enchilada. It was really tasty, not too salty, not too cheesy. On the subject of cheese, I do think the cheese could be removed from the soup and it would be just as delicious as well as easier to eat. Would I go to Cristina's again? Of course. It's a staple, you know what you're going to get and they have a great assortment of meal choices.

    We are regulars here at Mena's, for 15 years Let me just…read moresay we have NEVER had cold food, it's always piping hot. And the margaritas are strong and well priced, we have eaten at other mexican food establishments and they charge $18 for sweet lime-aid. We usually ask for Eric since he's our favorite! Table-side guacamole is a Yum, as anything with brisket. The beef fajitas are the most tender we have ever tasted. If you like spicy salsa, ask for the Verde salsa. Menas you make our tastebuds dance!!!

    This was my second time visiting Mena's Grill, but my first time dining in and sitting at the bar…read more Customer service was excellent -- truly a 5 out of 5. The bartender was attentive, kind, and professional. The atmosphere felt welcoming, and you can tell they have loyal regulars, which always speaks well of a restaurant. The staff overall seemed consistent and friendly. Now for the food. I ordered the queso to start. The flavor was good, but it wasn't hot -- more lukewarm than fresh-out-the-kitchen warm. For my entrée, I had the skirt steak with beans, pico de gallo, enchilada, and rice. The flavors were solid, but again, the plate came out lukewarm. For a Tex-Mex spot, temperature really matters. I don't need it piping hot, but I do expect my food to feel freshly made and properly heated when it arrives. That was my only disappointment. I've ordered carryout before without issue, and because the service and vibe are strong, I will definitely be back to give it another try. I just hope next time the food comes out hot and fresh. Overall: great service, good flavors, strong local energy -- just room for improvement on food temperature.

So far I have only visited for breakfast and have enjoyed the bacon and egg plate. Flour tortillas have been some of the best that I have found in the Dallas area and the refried beans are good. The salsa bar has always been well stocked with Pico de gallo and limes. Iced tea is good and freshly brewed. The price for a satisfying and filling breakfast has been very reasonable.

    Taco Tuesday; YES, please!…read more Who doesn't LOVE Rosas!! The food, that lovely condiment/salsa bar... the pleasant and Spanish decor in the dining room; it's a great place to go! We chose to drive through and eat dinner at home... My taco salad tasted like someone dropped the salt shaker in the salad; it was really terrible (I couldn't eat it)!! I typically get their taco salad, and I've never had an issue until tonight! My husband ordered the crunchy taco dinner plate, and he said the refried beans must be the culprit as his were terribly salty too! I still give a 4 star as it's really a great location, and we don't usually have any issues! The service is great, the employees are kind and the food is Always fresh! I called the restaurant and spoke with (the Manager) Freddie... he was quick to take action and said "I'll go check them out; thank you for letting me know!". That's what you call a great manager! We didn't want to drive back for a refund, but (Freddie said..) they'll make it right next time. Ole'
