Our new favorite Mexican restaurant! My pet peeve is usually dishes in Mexican restaurants are heavy on onion taste - not so at Casa Cortes! I had the complimentary salsa and chips which were very tasty and not overly oniony at all. Then I had the street taco trio with the marinated pork - it was absolutely delicious and very filling. The iced tea I ordered was also a pleasant surprise as it had a mild flavor with a light fruity taste. My partner had the quesadilla with shredded pork. He said it was delicious and it was generously filled with delicious pork. We both will be back here again because the food, and service were excellent. And the Mexican background was pleasant and not too loud. Give it a try! read more

Great tacos (and taco variants)! Substandard fajitas. Middle of the road everything else. Ok, let's start with the standouts and work our way down. Loved, LOVED the Birria Quesatacos con Consomé. Most likely a dish that has been around for a super long time and I'm just late to the party. These are fried tacos served with what I can only describe as au jus. Basically the French dip of Mexican cuisine (I could be way off). You dip these tacos into the rich, meaty broth, and oh my goodness, the clouds above you part and the warm rays of sunlight rain down upon you. The tacos and quesadilla were pretty much meh. Not bad for a street taco. Had the double tortilla goin' on. Adds extra support. Ensures the taco won't get soggy with all the meaty juices running rampant. But it's extra carbs for my big fat butt. Enchiladas were a bit crisp (read: dry). Perhaps a bit too crisped up. I actually thought enchiladas were supposed to be more on the soft side. I could be wrong. Either way, I had the option of ordering them in one of two styles - "red" or "green." I got red. And they were, um red, to say the least. I again apparently misconstrued this, as I thought choosing a color would determine the color of the sauce (roja vs. verde). But there was no sauce. Just red, crispy enchiladas, topped with that mild crumbly, white cheese. It melts quite nicely and tastes similar to American cheese (totally up to you for how you want to interpret that). Sadly, the fajitas were a huge disappointment. The chicken was super dry, and they didn't come with a side of, well, anything. No lettuce, pico, sour cream, cheese... nothing. So I was basically stuck putting chicken, onions, and peppers into a flour tortilla and nothing else. It was seriously lacking without the other accoutrements that really should come standard. Fajitas aside, I have to give Casa Cortes credit for introducing me to birria tacos. In the future, if I go out for tacos and see birria tacos on the menu, I can't imagine a situation where I'd order regular tacos over them. It's just a different tier of deliciousness. read more

Great food and great service! Dinner time atmosphere was nice and had good energy and ambiance.

Its good but the price is not reasonable due to the portion size it's small . They are very friendly and well kept .

tacos are good i'm enjoying my meal while waiting for more i peep the lady pull a big ass gallon out the sink Serving sink water to customers is beyond nasty it's straight-up disrespectful. If you're okay with drinking whatever comes out of a dirty tap, this is the place for you Everyone else RUN. read more

I am as visiting a friend for the weekend and she said this place was good but couldn't call in because they didn't speak English. I know Spanish and told her I would call in the order. I made ONE order with 4 items. Nothing really special except the burritos one was with shrimp and everything on it the other beef with only a couple things on them. I repeated my order 4 TIMES and after verifying my actual order had been placed I said I would pick it up. I picked up my order that was told three times everything was as all set. Drinks were made VERY slowly and by made I mean poured up. Then after being there for 10 mins I finally got my food and drinks that were placed for pick up! After driving to my friends that's not close by I opened the order to find out that there was ONE OUT OF THE 4 items missing. Once I called the guy said "well yeah I do see your burrito here and I guess you put different orders in!" I said NO it was one order that's why I asked many times if it was all there as the female that took my order seemed slow of understanding. He said you can come pick it up or if you can have a credit for a burrito. I told him I didn't live in the area and was only visiting. He said again that my choice was to come back and after hearing my frustration said that if I came to pick it up (after now been sitting there for over an hour I would get a refund for the burrito) I said this is not good customer service and I would come pick it up! After I arrived an older women kept saying she didn't know what happened and I could choose a CAN SODA for the mistake I made when ordering! I said I just want my burrito and the refund the gentlemen said on the phone and she said the most I can give you is a 25%OFF because the burrito is made of shrimp! Do not give your money where you do not matter as a customer! THIS IS TERRIBLE SERVICE AND FRANKLY A DISGRACE TO THE HISPANIC COMMUNITY! I will not give my business to a place that is more about making money and blaming mistakes on the customers then actually building a good service and reputation. Also the burrito was not worth my drive. Worst service ever. read more

Food it good just the amount they give is a bit less then what you pay for. Delivery is great I always ordered it by yelp

Bright, clean, casual, comfy spot. The menu has a great selection--tacos, burritos, and some dinner plates too. I ordered the enchiladas rojas which are served with rice and beans and an agua de tamarindo. They were both excellent, and the portions were great. We were full, but we eyed the empanadas and the tres leches cake on display. The service was so friendly too. My friends and I stopped by looking for a quick but filling meal before a concert at the Santander Arena, which is only a few blocks away, and we were totally pleased! read more

The tacos with pork and pineapple they are the best. The guacamole is the best I ever had. read more

I was in the mood for some birria tacos and found this little spot on DoorDash. Ordered a chicken empanada and birria quesadilla. Girl let me tell you it was juicy and the tortilla was crispy and soft. The flavors were dancing in my mouth. The consume was flavored beautifully not too salty and not too spicy for anyone who hates spicy. The empanada for me just needed cheese but other than that it was flavorful and good. I thought I was in the country where all this food originated from. I can't wait to buy from them again. My mouth is watering as I write this. Check them out! read more

Casa Cortes Mexican Grill - 3 Birria Quesatacos con Consom 1 Tacos 1 Tacos 1 Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Reading, Pennsylvania

Ordered from here once before and was very impressed so decided to get some tacos for dinner tonight and unfortunately in the short month that has passed since eating here the quality has diminished. As shown in the picture my birria has barely any meat in it and seems like it was put into some old taco shell. I also ordered a beef empanada and received a chicken one.... This place was one the top of my list for amazing tacos but unfortunately cannot say I will be back after this experience. read more
