Ortega's A Mexican Bistro offers a cozy ambiance that reminds guests of Mexico. The restaurant serves good food, including popular dishes like shrimp tacos, enchiladas, and steak quesadillas. Fresh chips and salsa are always available, along with table-side guacamole, which is made to order and highly praised. The place features cute umbrellas and Mexican tile tables, creating a charming atmosphere. Warm tortilla chips and flavorful red salsa are served as a warm welcome. The chili relleno and Enchiladas Suizas are favorites, and the margaritas are excellent, with some reviews noting they can be a bit strong until mixed more. The service can sometimes vary, but overall, Ortega's provides a pleasant dining experience. It is a great alternative to driving to Puerto Nuevo and is considered a neighborhood gem.
