    Breakfast burrito
    Jon L.

    We were seated promptly and the server was very friendly. The menu is quite large. We ate breakfast and I had the breakfast burrito. It was huge. I probably should have got the green chile sauce on it. But it was still outstanding. Eat like a local and stop by here.

    Country Eggs Benedict ( sausage instead of Canadian bacon).

    The food was great. I loved the shaved potatoes and the "country" eggs Benedict. The service was spot on. If you are a coffee lover, do not order the coffee. Still worth breakfast/brunch/lunch. Affordable prices.

    Egg breakfast with polish sausage
    Ileana C.

    Visiting the 4 corners area. Traveling thru Cortez, Co. we found this place for breakfast. We ordered the hot skillet with steak, the egg breakfast with polish sausage, children's French toast and a grilled cheese sandwich. The steak was full of flavor tender, eggs cooked right over vegetables and home potatoes. The vegetables were fresh and not mushy like in some places. The potatoes could've used a tad of seasoning but overall a flavorful meal. The polish egg breakfast was very good. The grilled cheese and fries is self explanatory and the children's breakfast was happily eaten. Service was prompt and friendly. Generous not over the top portions. Clean almost quaint restaurant. Extensive menu. You're sure to find something you'll love to eat. This place is open for breakfast and lunch Stop by if you're in the area. You won't be disappointed.

    Burrito Ranchero
    Elizabeth S.

    I wish I was in town longer. I was driving through Cortez and searched for burritos and Beny's was highly ranked. I ordered some take out and, despite the Saturday rush, it was ready in under 15 minutes. I opted for the burrito ranchero. It came SMOTHERED in salsa verde and cheese and I ate the entire thing in less than 5 minutes. Their breakfast and other Mexican options look amazing. Cute place with a lot of seating too!

    Had breakfast in Beny's Diner and it was typical diner food. The menu has many choices which sure to please any customer. I went with the Popeyes omelette and opted for pancakes and beans. Everything was good but nothing more. Come here to fill up your hunger but don't expect a special dish. Ratings: Popeye omelette: 7/10 Pancakes with banana and chocolate chip: 7/10

    I have fallen in with this place so many times I've driven by when they were at both of their locations I've been told that it's the best place for breakfast in Cortez and I'm beginning to think it is I know for a fact that it serves up the best chili relleno Burrito either breakfast or lunch that I have ever had! sal's taco truck in Mariposa , CA is the first place that I had tried a chili relleno burrito on their special day I think it was on a Tuesday but I was in the line every Tuesday the one at Benny's diner you can get it smothered with green chili! Did I tell you it was huge I cut it in half and then just went ahead and ate the whole burrito (enchilada)

    Had a great breakfast at Benys with friendly staff. The thinly sliced potatoes served as hash browns were fabulous along with our omlets.

    This was a fantastic meal!…read more I had the best chicken fried steak with mash potatoes and gravy I have ever experienced. It was mouth watering and perfectly breaded and seasoned. All topped off with deliciously seasoned mashed potatoes and sautéed vegetables. Wonderful flavoring!! The dessert was fantastic and home made with incredible salted caramel ice cream to go with my blueberry-lemon cheesecake. The whole meal was amazing. So fun to discover such a delightful dining experience in an out of the way location. The service was friendly and attentive. Go dine there! You won't be disappointed.

    We looked for a lunch spot via Yelp on our way home from Telluride…read more Yelp did it again. Loungin' Lizard will be our go to every time we pass through Cortez in the future. We walked in and were immediately greeted by one of the bartenders and told to sit wherever we liked. We found a nice booth off to the side of the bar area. Our server Patrick stopped by the booth and pointed us to the food menu in the chalkboard. We also had another server but I didn't catch her name. They were both very friendly and attentive. I ordered the special for the day. A green chili Rueben & fries. Wow, this sandwich was so delicious! What a creative combination of flavors. Even the slaw in the Rueben included the green chilis. The fries were hot and crispy. My husband ordered the spicy BBQ pulled pork tacos. He said the tacos were amazing and the flavors were off the charts. They were topped with a slaw and pickles. The side of "tortilla chips" had a dusting of a very flavorful spice. Not sure what it was but very tasty. Looking over the menu, this restaurant has some very creative dishes. We can't wait to stop by again! My husband ordered

I discovered after coming here that I have a location near my home in Tempe. Ziggi's got their start here in the state of Colorado and sources their beans from Dillanos Coffee Roasters. This location is in Cortez and takes both drive thru and walkup orders. I enjoyed my Iced Latte for my road trip. They were fast here with my order and customer service was friendly. In addition to coffee drinks, Ziggi's Coffee also has sparkling sodas, teas, energy drinks and smoothies. The only issue that I had was the lid on my cup. I felt the coffee leaked out too many times while I was drinking. I should have grabbed a straw.

    Needed a quick morning pick-me-up on our way to Mesa Verde National Park. Ziggi's had great reviews…read moreonline, so naturally this became our morning stop. With such an extensive drink menu, there is easily something for everyone here. Our group definitely tried a variety of their drinks. Their Matcha was sweet and definitely more caffeinated than a typical Matcha. Colorado Mocha was a great twist on a regular mocha with the added sweetness and flair of the coconut and almond. And if your a fan of the Red Bull-style drinks then the Energy Infusions are for you - The Beach Bum had that same style with the refreshing quality of all the flavor additions. Also ended up adding on one of their bacon burritos, and for being a fast food establishment (and the fact this burrito was made FAST), it was actually surprisingly really good. Would definitely order it again if we returned. They moved through the drive-thru efficiently and had our order ready really quick. It was much appreciated because we were on a bit of a time crunch that morning. It is drive-thru only, so not the choice if you want to sit and enjoy. But for a quick grab-and-go, this is a great choice.
