"Everything at Cris and John’s is iconic on the ‘Gram, but the birria tacos and birria bao buns have become must-try staples of DFW. Add a bowl of Angry Pho broth to dip ‘em in, and feel those taste buds go up in flames in the best way. This little spot in Far North Dallas is among the new guard of fusion food creators in the region that live outside the city center. It regularly goes viral for its wild creations, but these classic ones are so popular that they’ll never leave the menu." - Eater Staff
