El Cortez Taqueria & Tortilleria

The pollo and filete Estrella are not to be missed! Best chips and salsa out of the multitudes in the area IMHO.

Very disappointed we were the only 3 people in the place and I was very unhappy with my food. Cost over #65. And only 1 beer and 2 soft drinks. One complete dinner and some burritos. Wil not be returning.😐

Mini burritos are fire 🔥

Oh my God this place is unbelievable. Where should I start, The food is out of this world. I've been coming couple of times and every single time I experience something new that I didn't before... The salsa, oh my god the salsa is incredible. If you are looking for some good delicious Mexican food that makes you feel like home come here.. I definitely recommend the space and I will be coming back

We ordered the tacos, mole, steak, and pork, and the guacamole and horchatas. Everything was delicious and the flavors were just right. Very unique guisado options for the tacos and the fact that you can see the tortillas being made is pretty cool too. Will return as long as the food stays consistent in flavor and quality.

This concept offers a dining experience similar to Chipotle, but with an emphasis on authentic Mexican flavors. The pricing is competitive with other similar establishments, and the portion sizes are generous. Their chips and salsa are exceptional, truly a highlight of the meal. I had the cucumber and lime water along with the Sombrero Bowl, both of which were delicious and thoroughly enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a fresh and flavorful Mexican dining experience.
