This was my first eating experience at Cortez Kitchen. We saw that there were specials on a Sunday and I had a gift card burning a hole in my pocket. When we arrived we sat ourselves as the sign directed, we weren't greeted by a server for about 7 minutes (no biggy). However during the ordering and eating process we felt very rushed. The waitress immediately asked what we wanted to drink, then when I asked hesitantly just told us the mixed drink specials (nothing about the buckets. When she came back with the drinks she wanted our food order immediately, I told her we were still deciding but we'd like to start with the loaded nachos special. As soon as that came out we ordered a couple apps so we could get a better idea what we'd like being our first time. The food was amazing! The Loaded fries were overflowing with cheese, bacon and deliciousness, the buffalo grouper bites were lightly coated in the sauce and cooked to perfection, some of the BEST fried okra I've had in a while and the Brussels sprouts were top notch. When we finished eating this is where the service changed from rushed to a long wait. Our waitress took a while to come back to us and we asked for boxes and the check, she promptly came back with the boxes and check, I added my gift card and credit card to the check folio and we then sat there for 15 minutes with no waitress in site. I was trying to make eye contact with the bartender but she was busy on her phone or at the other end of the bar with guests. We will be back, but we'll probably ask for a different waitress if it's possible and this young lady is working the deck.

Cortez Kitchen is truly a hidden gem! When you first pull up, it might look like a little hole-in-the-wall spot, but donât let that fool youâit ended up being the best restaurant I visited on Anna Maria Island.
Our server, Michael, was absolutely amazingâfriendly, attentive, and went above and beyond. I had never tried clams before, and she made a special effort to bring me a couple just so I could experience them. Turns outâŠthey were delicious!
Every single bite of food was excellent. The grouper was fresh and perfectly prepared, the drinks were top-notch, and you can tell everything is fresh caught right there. The entire meal was outstanding from start to finish.
If youâre in the area, donât miss this spot. Cortez Kitchen completely exceeded my expectations, and I canât wait to come back

Tried to go there for lunch. There were only 2 other tables seated. We sat for 15 minutes while the waitress completely ignored us. Never even looked our way. Bartender saw us and ignored us also. Never even got water..
I always enjoy my time at Cortez Kitchen. The food/drink's was wonderful! It's a blessing to meet Katie what a wonderful lady she is,her drink's and service is outstanding! đâșïž Sincerely, John.

Stopped here for lunch and was very pleasantly surprised with both the food and service as it wasnât super busy. The blackened grouper was one of the best Iâve had, and the portions were good. Our server Kiara was very personable and attentive.

Thoroughly enjoyed my first time here. The Salmon Bowl was amazing, as well as the calamari. We had Madison as our bartender/waitress. She was truly a gem !

Was my go-to place in Cortez Village because of the ambiance and the previous chef's hospitality/talent, and, especially because you could still smoke at your table on the deck. Brought a friend there today and found out I hadn't been there in a couple of years because Starfish (next door) took over when I wasn't looking. No more smoking. Limited menu. Loss of ambiance. Ended up going next door to Starfish to eat. Next review...
