From the…read moreoutside, it's a smaller building but inside is converted into an amazing business with authenticity. I will start with the host and server we had. Both ladies were excellent, fun and very very welcoming. Nicest people we have met thus far driving from Nevada. Always smiling, not hanging over you while you eat, and extremely polite. The food was absolutely incredible. Over a week traveling with numerous stops, La Casita De Cortez absolutely comes out on top easily. Homemade food with passion behind it and generous portions. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted incredible. The drinks were also impeccable with a decent variety of margaritas and others. Stop here if you can and enjoy every second of it! You won't regret it!

I got the 2 item combo with an enchilada and a chili rellano and Bobbie got the 3 tacos with chicken. Both plates were fantastic with lots of flavor and looked good to boot. Both came with rice and beans. I normally don't eat much of the beans at Mexican places but these were really good and I ate most of them. Our server was prompt and pleasant and took good care of us. If you're here in Cortez and want Mexican I highly recommend this small place.

The only reason I am giving this place for stars is because my enchilada had potatoes inside of it.

Rice and beans were exactly right. The chicken fajitas were hot, flavorful, and cooked just right. The fried ice cream was great too. I wouldn't call it a hole-in-the-wall, but the atmosphere is pretty bare bones. That's okay because the food is the reason to come here. Great prices, friendly service, and really good Mexican food. We'd happily eat here again next time we're in Cortez.
