The food is average. 2 stars because I ordered a seafood omelet and they used imitation crab. Near the ocean and a fresh seafood store right next to the Cafe, seriously?? Literally the next door over, 3 feet away.

The restaurant needs all new staff. My mother asked for a water and it took 3 requests to get a simple glass of water from asking multiple waitresses. The restaurant was maybe half full. We got our food. The waitress asked if we needed anything else? We asked for ketchup. Again, simple common request. Twice we reminded her and nothing. I got up and went to the front cashier. Im standing waiting patiently and the woman refuses to acknowledge me until I spoke asking for ketchup. Apparently, I interrupted her conversation with her friend on her cell phone. She was having a discussion about Walmart a credit card. Very disappointed with people who can't handle the basics.

This is old Cortez at its finest. The gals here are so friendly and efficient,while the owner looks on and keeps things rolling. The menu is large and everything is great. Their coffee is the best.

It was a great local place run by a family for 60 years. They were nice but the food wasn’t great. I was hopeful based on reviews, and while I have no complaints, I personally would not go out of my way to go here.

When we came in a young lady looked at us and was like sit wherever and threw her hands up. We sat and she then proceeded to fight, complain and argue for the entire time we were there. Besides that while i understand the waitress was the only one serving everyone while the other 2 ladies talked a lot of crap, we waited a quite awhile as she did miscellaneous duties instead of getting our order in. On too of all of that….. it just didn't smell very good at all almost like a bait shop. Im sure this establishment is quaint and convenient for the locals but if you’re not from this area it is definitely not worth it. All that having been said …… the food was actually REALLY good! 😆😆

Second breakfast here in three days, because I’ve not stopped talking about the amazing Seafood Omelette(krab, shrimp, Swiss, and hollandaise sauce)!!! It was just as delicious the second time as well. I chose grits as a side(plain👍) and dry Rye toast. Both visits my toast was toasted perfectly, and dry, so many places send out soaked with butter toast. Had coffee to drink. Total was $14.99 and $2.50, with tax coming in at $1.25.

Everyone raves about Cortez Cafe, the praise is well deserved do to location, food, speed you receive your order, and the friendly staff.

Firstly the review is not because of the food, it was great! However, the lady at the front behind the register ruined the entire experience by talking LOUDLY for the entire restaurant to hear her talking about everything she hates about not only the restaurant, but her home life as well. It made it feel very suffocating and nobody seemed comfortable speaking above a whisper while she was there. I feel bad for the rest of the staff having to deal with her. She’s dragging them down and would be better off quitting and working elsewhere.

Great breakfast. Family atmosphere. Large portions and lots of options. We visited twice for breakfast. Definitely the locals favorite. Service was quick.
