    This place is sooooooooo good. My brother kept talking about it and took me to try it. I ordered the three tacos (Al Pastor with onion and cilantro) and a soda for $9.99. I also got two carnitas tacos on the side. I asked the cashier if he liked the carne asada and he said ya, so I went to order one and he told me he would tell them to give me one to try, on the house. Every single one of the tacos I got from here (both free and paid for) were stuffed full. The meat is great quality and very flavorful. The service is great, the place is clean. I definitely think this place is worth a try.

    Short rib burrito and Chicharo burrito

    The food is excellent. It didn't take too long for our food to come out, but it is freshly made. I had a short rib burrito that was super flavorful and my mother had a Chicharron burrito and green sauce. Along with a chorizo quesadilla that was also really good. Everything is excellent. Definitely recommend this place for the meat quality and now for their food.

    Decided to give their new cocina a try yesterday after being a long time customer of their carniceria. Purchased two "ribeye burritos" and not only was I NOT given ribeye, the burritos were basically all beans with a few pieces of what seemed to be regular asada thrown in. Had to literally fish my receipt out of the trash to double check and make sure the cashier got my order right. Unfortunate when you try to support small business and get this in exchange. Safe to say its my first and last time purchasing from their food bar.

    Carne asada and chorizo

    El Cortez has the best quality meats, great prices, and fast and friendly service. I come here often for milanesa de res and chorizo. Their carne asada is by far my favorite - more flavorful than other local competitors. The location is always very clean and well stocked as well.

    Boutique, butchery

    When you want to eat nothing but the best come to Carniceria El Cortez. This is what I call a boutique, Carniceria! Family-owned business over 30 years. Original location in Norwalk. You walk into a perfect Carniceria. Well thought out . Good meats fast service Friendly faces. I can tell they are really good people because they have my favorite TV show on #Heartland #5Stars

    Blocked me on IG when I told them how bad the piece of ribeye was that they gave my wife

    See all

    Hands down the best meat I've had. Everything is quality and tasty. It is our Sunday ritual to grill with El Cortez meat.
