"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
"It’s not only affordable, it’s one of the best fusion restaurnts in Dallas, where the husband and wife team who are its namesake mesh their Hispanic and Asian cultures. Basic tacos and bao buns at this spot are $3.75, but it is known for its fusion dishes. Diners can get a trio of birria with angry pho for $13.75 or birria bao buns for $15.50 Or grab a banh mi for $9 to $10. It has indoor dining, fast casual style, and to-go service." - Courtney E. Smith
"This is not your traditional Vietnamese restaurant. With food based in marriage of the owners’ roots, it serves Vietnamese street food with Mexican flourishes, such as the Phorrito and phodilla, a burrito and quesadilla with pho flavors." - Didi Paterno
"Comments so far on his Dallas post are suggesting Cris and John’s." - Courtney E. Smith
"Cris and Jon’s has been over popularized and now have a chicken mole ramen burrito which has no business being fused! Mole is it’s own madness, why add it with ramen?" - Courtney E. Smith
