About Cristo Rey Restaurant & Bakery

Cristo Rey Restaurant & Bakery offers a cozy dining experience with a variety of flavorful options. Their $1.35 mini tacos, available in different meat choices, come packed with tasty fillings and are served with fresh cilantro, onions, and diced peppers. Customers often mention the very fresh and flavorful guacamole, along with their delicious red and green sauces. The restaurant also features a well-stocked bakery section with a tempting selection of pastries, where the pan dulce is particularly praised for being very good and soft. The horchata is noted to be a bit too sweet, while the cucumber and watermelon aguas frescas are described as delicious.

Guests enjoy the sizzling fajitas and recommend the steak tacos, gorditas, brisket sandwich, and baby back ribs. The coffee is fantastic, and the bakery items like pan dulce are praised for being soft and good. The sliced brisket sandwich receives high praise, described as absolutely awesome and better than the big corporate BBQ chains, and also cheaper. Some customers mention that the restaurant can be a little disorganized and that wait times can be long, but many believe it is well worth the wait. The staff is friendly and humble, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Customers appreciate the excellent bread, flavorful dishes, and the cozy environment, making Cristo Rey a popular choice for both dine-in and takeout.
