    Camarones a la Crema: Wish I could give this dish seven stars it was so delightful. The shrimp were actually NOT overcooked and they were large and high quality - which is not very usual in a small town Mexican joint. Although I wouldn't really call this an "authentic" dish compared to the others, my white girl tongue likes spice but it also like fatty cream and this just really hit the spot. Honestly I would drive the 15 hours back there from LA to try this again... or at least next time I'm in the area I will go back for this dish in particular. 5/5 Camarones Diabla: Also a delightfulllll dish! Although we ordered it spicy they may not have believed that so pale a table could actually want it spicy - bc it had absolutely no kick to it. However, it was savory and intense tomato flavor that went very well with the superbly prepared shrimp. Comes with tasty refried beans and mexican rice that was also good - sticks to your bones after a long day of hiking. 5/5 Huevos Rancheros: These were actually picante but interestingly the overall was disappointing. The sauce had a lot of heat but not a lot of flavor - I ended up stealing my mom's Diabla sauce to go on it to add a little something something. I definitely would pass on this one. 2/5 Enchiladas: Left a lot to be desired. The driest enchiladas I have ever had in my entire life - the sauce was completely soaked into the tortilla and I had to request extra table salsa so I could make this palatable. Wish I hadn't ordered this a la carte - I had plenty of food otherwise. 2/5 Fresh warm chips with house made salsa at the table to start - complimentary and I gobbled it down. Even asked for the to-go Salsa that is $5. Be warned it comes in a 16 ounce coca-cola soft drink paper cup - so it doesn't travel well in a cooler when you're camping. This container spilled immediately so it was a waste of 5 bucks - had I known the container I would NOT have ordered. But as for flavor of salsa and chip: 5/5 We came in from our campground craving a margarita and their liquor license was pending until mid October. SADNESS. We were devastated bc the margaritas looked thirst and body ache-quenching. The service was also really nice and friendly - however, it was a LONG wait for the food. Literally came out 50 minutes after we ordered - which I generally don't mind if I have a drink, but with just water and chips I felt every minute of it. These two negatives almost had me knock it down to 3 instead of 4 star experience - pero todavia estoy sonando con esos camarones... asi que I think this restaurant merits the 4 stars it has received. Especially since it seems that the liquor license issue will be rectified in short order.

    Great food, great service- thanks Jona! Red Chile is killer.Great place to stop after Mesa Verde! No need to wait for Durango.

    Huge side of guacamole.

    Holy guacamole! We ordered a side of guacamole, and is the size of a small car (see photo). It was pretty good, though. The other good thing was the shrimp, ceviche/tostada, though there was not a lot of actual shrimp in it. Overall, the flavor was OK, but for example, I ordered the Colorado burro, and I asked for them to add cheese and sour cream, and they put it on the side instead of in the burro. Also, there just wasn't a lot of meat in it. My boyfriend got the chicken fajitas, and again, not a lot of meat. This place is fine. I live in Arizona, so I have tons of options for amazing Mexican food. Maybe it is relative, and maybe it is good for around here. However, we felt that it was just okay.

    My yummy salad.

    Disappointingly dry tamales. Could not finish them-- the ends were crusty hard dry. I'm guessing they were stale.

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!

The good things were the marinated fajita meat and fresh corn tortillas. Unfortunately the onions and peppers were charred and burnt black which meant the meat was way overcooked The outdoor dining area was nice but it was too cold for our parents so we sat inside. They didn't offer green chile salsa which is what our mom really wanted. Our server Elizabeth was very nice and seemed too busy but was kind to fulfill our repeated requests. Their portions of sour cream and side dishes to accompany the fajitas were skimpy. We had to always ask for more fearing additional charge after charge, but happily that didn't happen. Overall it was okay. I doubt I'd return.
