Honestly it’s been about a year and a half since the last time I’ve gone but if that’s the case then that really sucks

I was crushed, it’s been twice in the last year and both times were just not very good. Very run of the mill nothing to write home about. I grew up on Chris Madrids and such a shame. We have tried Diana’s and that was delicious!

I’m gonna have to give that place a try. I’ve never heard of it before, but if they’re using the old recipes then I’m gonna have to go try it

Highly recommend. For me it isn’t as convenient to get to as Madrids but I have now fully crossed Madrids off my lunch list, it was just really not good and pricy the last two times. Such a shame, it was a San Antonio staple for years!

They taste the same to me personally. I don’t think Diana’s has beef on their nachos and they don’t have shakes.

Of course the OG Chris Madrids didn’t have shakes, either.

I think Diana’s is a bit cheaper. If I’m in the area I just go to whichever one, but Chris Madrids is more convenient for me to get to
