Crystal Park Cantina

I tried the Taos burrito with eggs and hash browns inside, which was good. However, the pork avocado burrito was an absolute delight! The chicken enchiladas were among the best I’ve ever had. Our server was incredibly helpful and friendly. The chips and salsa were delicious as well. The rice leaves something to be desired, as it’s seasoned with saffron.

Food could us improvement it was a different side of Mexican. I had the Chile Rellano plate it was deep fried in wonton & egg not bad but, different my wife had the chicken and beef enchilada not to good. Saffron rice is not Mexican. The service was good the Margarita were Ok. There was room for improvement.

I came here expecting the usual Mexican cantina food, but was absolutely blown away by this restaurant. The steak on my steak tacos was savory and the spread was very nice. The biggest takeaway was their tortilla chips though. I had to buy a bag it was so good. You don’t get clean tortilla chips that have this texture and is not saturated with salt like most grocery tortilla chips. 5/5.

The food and service were great. The front host picked us an amazing spot outside for us 2 to eat at. Our server was attentive and helpful. They had nice spots inside to sit at that we would have been happy to try. So glad we chose this place to have lunch. Found a parking spot right in front of their outside patio. We saw plenty of others having a great time and enjoying their food. Would highly recommend, and can’t wait to visit again the next time we’re in town.
