Fish tacos - spicy sweet
Jen W.

This restaurant was within walking distance of our hotel, so it qualified as a dinner contender. It was also the only restaurant within walking distance of our hotel, so that made the decision simple. We were told to choose any seat. The bar was full. First table was bussed, but not cleaned, second table the seat stuck out into the doorway that leads from the entrance into the dining room and the table appears to be bolted to the wall so we can't fix that. Third table was the charm. Once we got ourselves situated menus and water were brought. Wrapped flatware is on the table. After some conversation (beers on draft, etc.) we placed a drink order. I ordered a vodka soda with a top shelf liquor because I have many food sensitivities and the cheap stuff makes me flush. The drink was very strong and based on my reaction, made with their well vodka. Our waitress was excellent. Friendly, kept an eye on us, made suggestions. The food was good. The Reuben was just what you would expect. No twist, just a solid Reuben. The fish tacos description says they are spicy. I found them to be sweet. They are tasty. Nice combination of textures and flavors. My Ceaser salad had too much dressing for my taste. Although the flavor of the dressing was good the greens had wilted before I could finish. I must remember to request 'lightly dressed'. Located on a busy road, plenty of parking available. The interior is very nice and they offer outdoor seating on the deck.

Steak was prepared perfectly. Right amount of fat and salt. Reheated well. Asparagus was tasty. I liked the ginger in the rice. Thank you for the birthday dessert! Service - great Ambiance - ate outside on a beautiful warm evening. Unassuming, laid back place. Had a great experience, would return.

This place is right across the street from the Hampton Inn, so an easy walk to get some food. The building very clean, well lit, and well decorated. I had the fish tacos and a salad. Excellent flavor and very filling! The service was top notch as well. If I'm ever here in Cortez I'll definitely go back.

Caesar salad with added chicken

Great service, great prices, and great food. We sat on the patio and they had comfy rocking chairs. We got the Anasazi burger and a Caesar salad with chicken and it was sooo good! The chicken was cooked so perfectly I wish I lived close to go back more often. For dessert some ice cream and a brown butter cake (a must try for those with a sweet tooth).

Best steak I've ever had! My entire family enjoyed their meal! If you are passing through this is a must!

What a find after covid. I could smell the wonderful outdoor grill from our hotel room next door, looked up their menu, and told my husband that we were having dinner here that night after our fab foray to Mesa Verde National Park sans crowds. I loved my pineapple drink and my husband loved his moscow mule which appeared immediately.Our outdoor table service was incredible, all masked and pleasant. A fellow diner was shamed by the table next door for not wearing her mask to go to the toilet, as it should be. Do not want an excellent restaurant like this to get in to trouble! My grilled romaine lettuce salad with fresh parmesan was delicious, as were our perfectly grilled shishito peppers appetizer. The best part was my godiva chocolate martini served with a little sparkler in my husband's delicious creme brulee for my birthday! Thank you!!!!

Loungin' Lizard - Buffalo Chicken Sandwich

Loungin' Lizard

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

Well due to food allergies I have to be careful with what I eat. So I asked for the pizza without…read moreBBQ since it was spicy. It was supposed to have roasted tomatoes as well. They were missing. Before all of this I was served the wrong pizza. It was caught after a few bites by our attentive server. They made sure our drinks were filled.

Loungin' Lizard - Right side of restaurant was brighter and I should have requested to be seated there.
