Areas with high concentrations of restaurants include the following:
Cristina's
Several dfw locations, (http://cristinasmex.com/). lunch specials are very reasonably priced. service across all of the family owned and operated locations is blindingly fast no matter the location. the chips and salsa are arguably some of the freshest and best in the metroplex. a unique signature menu item is the "queso flameado" where the server melts cheese by fire tableside and then wraps the gooey cheesey goodness in several freshly made tortillas.
Main Street in Downtown has seen major improvements over the last few months, with plenty of places to eat and to play. Highly Recommended. Don't forget to stop by the City Tavern for a longneck or two.
