red and green sauce
Robert L.

Wonderful little Mexican spot in the Forest Hill/Everman area. We popped in for lunch during off hours. The service was great as was their attention to detail. Chips come with red and green sauces as well as some refried beans for dipping. The menu is extensive and has breakfast items as well as standards (enchiladas, flautas) , soups and specialty items (grilled and mole type dishes). Everything was freshly prepared and flavorful. I got a skirt steak w cheese enchiladas and enjoyed everything in my plate.

Bomb menudo

Dope Mexican food spot. Excellent food, (good quality and taste) the service is super great here too. The menu has a lot of choices. ...The menudo, caldos , sopes and gorditas are top notch. There's a lil bar at the back. Plenty searing. (Botha and tables) I def recommend this place.

Huaraches with pork, ceviche tostada, & enchiladas Rojas

Hidden gem! I can't believe this place has been here almost 3 years and I'm just now finding out about it. The restaurant is decorated so cute and there were fresh flowers on every table. Everything looked brand new. They have a small bar in the back. But it's all about the food. They have a huge menu including fajitas and a molcajete which I'll have to try next time cause they're a favorite of mine. But tonight I opted for a ceviche tostada which was loaded with citrusy fish and avocado and huaraches with pork. Both were so flavorful and fresh. And the owners were so friendly. Can't wait to come back!

Enchiladas Verdes
Lou B.

Food was excellent and servers very attentive. We arrived at lunch time to a packed restaurant which indicated how good it would be. We will definitely go back.

Excellently!!! The atmosphere was very cozy. Louis was very polite from the greeting to taking our orders and offering suggestions. The food was excellent !

Food was so good I have no complaints the place was clean and the service was good this place really deserves to be recognized

Chips & salsa

Very cute & clean restaurant! The service was great as was the food. Will definitely come again when in the area!

Fantastic service and food. The house special, Chiles en Nogada, was absolutely fantastic. As far as adult beverages, they only apparently serve beer, but the food is the star!! Locals, please support this restaurant. They deserve the attention.

Oh Wow!! This place is serving some double shelled birria tacos stuffed with beef and cooked…read morecrispy, served hot with some savory consomé for dipping it's so good I ended up spooning a good bit as a chaser. Mafer our server was exceptional and had our order out within 5 minutes let's just say they were moving some tacos during the lunch special. This has to be the best and most authentic lunch special around. Festive atmosphere indoor and outdoor seating with traditional authentic decor with plenty of parking.

Fantastic ( Yummy ) Mexican food and the strawberry margaritas were great.Cortez serves nice…read moreportions from a variety of food. ( I forgot to ask about pralins ) In fact I had to get a to go box. Establishment is a clean popular place, a lot of call in/pickup orders !!! My waitress, Ms. Caroline was the sweetest young lady, very attentive. She had a radiant smile, and a bubbly personality. That alone is a big plus in my book. Yet all of the staff members smiled and said hello. I have already told friends about Birrieria y Taqueria Cortez before writting this review. The decor was unique with the wall pai tings. Even the Halloween decorations outside were cool. It is Disabled Friendly and has parking right in front for the disabled. I do recommend this establishment, it is authentic mexican food. Check it out, you'll be happy that you did ! Have a wonderful evening. Smile and be happy ! ,

Alyssa, Fabian, and Emma are my absolute favorite bartenders at Buena Vida! They're always kind,…read moreattentive, and provide amazing customer service. I come here at least twice a week, and they consistently make every visit a great experience! If you haven't tried the food yet, definitely get the bistec, shrimp & mushroom tacos or the nachos they're so good! Great food, great drinks, and even better service. Ask for Alyssa, Fabian, or Emma!

I've been here multiple times, but this visit was with a friend who was trying it for the first…read moretime. Unfortunately, she wasn't impressed. She ordered the birria tacos, fries, and beans. The beans had a lot going on and included ingredients that probably should be mentioned when ordering. She thought the fries were decent, but said the birria tacos were just okay and that she's had much better elsewhere in the area. The service is good and straightforward. You walk up to order, grab a seat, and wait for your buzzer to go off. One thing to note: if you order drinks, keep an eye out for them because they're not brought to your table. As for my meal, I tried the mushroom, shrimp, and pastor tacos. The pastor was underwhelming, and the shrimp was overcooked. The mushroom taco was easily the standout and will definitely be my go-to if I come back. The weather will soon be nice for enjoying the patio, but there's also plenty of indoor seating available.
