Crystal Park Cantina is a family-owned Mexican restaurant in Manitou Springs, and the drink menu is built around margaritas, cocktails and beer. Its Wine section is short and plain: nine wines named by variety, with prices and no producers, vintages or regions. This unrated guide covers the posted drink menu, not service, storage or markups.
The wine section lists nine wines by variety: Sauv Blanc, Chardonnay, Vinho Verde, Mionetto Prosecco, Rose, Red Blend, Malbec, Cabernet and Pinot Noir. Bottle prices are posted for everything except the Prosecco, at $32 or $35. The menu names no producers, vintages or regions apart from the Prosecco brand, so ask your server what is in the bottle if it matters to you.
All nine wines are poured by the glass, and eight also have a bottle price. Glass prices are $9 for Chardonnay, Vinho Verde, Mionetto Prosecco, Red Blend and Cabernet, and $10 for Sauv Blanc, Rose, Malbec and Pinot Noir. The menu also lists a Mimosa Fresca at $12 made with Prosecco and grapefruit or orange juice.
The Bottom Line
Order the Malbec with the steak burrito, or the $9 Vinho Verde if you want something lighter. Margaritas are the main event on this drink menu, so treat the wine list as a short backup. Confirm current prices and what is in the glass. This unrated guide covers the posted drink menu, not service, storage or retail markups.

· Topeka · Mexican / Tex-Mex
This is a chips-and-salsa-and-a-margarita situation, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. The wine program is a placeholder, not a destination — if wine is your priority for the evening, On The Border is not your stop in Topeka.

Central Avenue / Commercial Strip · Hot Springs · Mexican / Tex-Mex
This is a margarita restaurant with a wine list that exists only so no one has to say there isn't one. Come for the fajitas and the frozen drinks — the wine is strictly last resort.

Order the margarita. Seriously. But if someone at the table insists on wine, the Barefoot pours are priced so close to retail that you're not getting hurt — just don't expect anything more than that.
