Cris and John is one of DFW’s most talked about restaurants, and for good reason…they invented the phorrito and ramenritto! Their Vietnamese street food with a Mexican twist makes a bucket list stop in the metroplex, so we’re reminding (or introducing you) to this special spot!

CRIS AND JOHN
Family-owned fusion restaurant, Cris and John, opened in North Dallas in 2017, and has continued gaining popularity by Dallasites since! Known for their creative Vietnamese, Mexican (and sometimes Korean) fusion, that’s resulted in some creative and DELICIOUS creations!

🍽️ Fusion dishes including phoritto, ramenritto, pho burger, phodilla, and carne asada bao buns
🍜 Dry and wet noodle dishes

WHAT WE ORDERED
We ordered the birria & dry noodles platter with your choice of dumplings, 3 birria tacos, a dry noodle bowl and a side of satay! Plus, the iconic phoritto filled with noodles was a must try!
THE PHO OR RAMEN-RRITO
A take on a burrito but instead, filled with either the contents of pho or ramen! That means you’ll enjoy rice noodles, basil, bean sprouts, jalapeno, onion, sriracha and hoisin in the pho version, and spicy ramen, house kimchi, pickled bok choy and fried shallots in the ramen version. YUM!
A FEW MORE DETAILS!
A fast-casual eatery the space is adorned with Vietnamese and Mexican decor. It’s closed on Mondays and Saturdays, and you may come across a long line but it moved fast!
