| - I went to Cristina's the other day for the first time to give it a try, I ordered pupusas for me and "caldo de res" for my wife to go, it was a short and sweet wait of about ten minutes and while I waited a man whom I assumed was the owner kept me entertained with a pleasant conversation.
So last week all excited I took my wife there raving about how great the food is, we got there and the place was empty except for a party of four at a table. We were greeted by this young girl, she gave us a menu and since I already knew what I wanted I though it would be fast and easy. My wife ordered a fried fish and I ordered the pupusas special which came with my choice of 2 tamales or fired banana. I asked if in the interest of tasting the food I could only have 1 tamal and some fried banana but I was told that is not allowed. No problem I'll take the tamales then, can I have a chicharron pupusa instead of a revuelta? "Of course" she said.
So we paid $26.80 for a $9.99 pupusa special plate and a fried fish. I thought it was pretty steep but said nothing. The girl said it would take about 20 minutes for the fish to be cooked, we said no problem we'll wait. In the meantime phone orders came in and more patrons showed up to eat there.
Thirty minutes later someone comes in to pick up a take out order, and the patrons who were eating there not only had been enjoying the complimentary chips and salsa but actually were brought their food, while we were still waiting.
I asked the girl why this was happening and she said fish takes that long to cook, now my wife is a good cook and we all know that fish cooks in less than ten minutes so I told this to the girl, she replied that there it takes that long and that's all she knows.
Finally 50 minutes after we stepped into the restaurant we finally got our food and we went home to eat.
When I got home I started to go through my receipt and saw that because I changed a revuelta pupusa for a chicharron pupusa they charged me for everything as it was ala carte thus the almost $27.00 bill. I am Mexican and I love pupusas but their tamales as far as I'm concerned were raw so I had to throw them away.
When I have a pupusa fix, I always go to "El Salvadoreno" on 75th and Thomas, I thought this new place would save me time as it is a lot closer to home, but I guess I found out now were my next pupusas will be coming from.
Cristina's you are so hidden, if you get new customers, take care of them so they can come back to you.
As for me, as far as I'm concerned it will be worth the longer trip to 75th and Thomas.
