Salsa chalupa

The waitresses were very nice. I wanted queso but only have nacho cheese sauce. The chips and salsa were great. I had the chimichanga plate was good and I forget what my husband's plate was called. I'm posting pictures, also they do not have margaritas. Food ok but not enough for a return visit.

La Rueda has become our favorite weekend breakfast place! Delicious food and great variety. From fresh menudo to the sizzling La Rueda skillet. I can never get enough! Very clean, open atmosphere and the servers are always so pleasant and welcoming

Fantastic menu and prices are very reasonable. Service was fast, efficient and Texas friendly. Food csme out fast and hot. Love the rustic texas decor. Love the fact the breakfast potatoes are cooked on griddle not deep fried.

On my very first visit to La Rueda Restaurant on Oakland Blvd., not too crowded!! Gotta love this best place to have breakfast on the weekends!!

Potato, egg and cheese breakfast tacos

Great food for a very good price! We never walk away spending more than $20-$25 for the 2 of us. Service can be hit or miss at times, but the servers are very nice and usually pretty quick to get you anything they forgot. Besides serving your standard Mexican food, they do have a few veggie options, including cheese quesadillas, cheese enchiladas and chiles rellenos. We've brought different friends here several times and they always leave satisfied (and have continued coming back). We've been here plenty of times for their breakfast and dinner. La Rueda is BYOB so bring a bottle of champagne and turn your breakfast into a brunch or bring your favorite beer for dinner! Definitely recommend this place.

Beef. Fajita. Burrito. Those are three glorious words. Here's a few more.... Fresh made salsa, fresh made guacamole and all coming from a little house down Oakland in East Fort Worth. One of the guys at work had been here and liked it so that was good enough to try it out. All there is is a neon "Open' sign and a green house. It does not say La Rueda outside the building, if you pass it, you end up on Lancaster, and at night, that's not a fun place to be. So don't pass it. Now for this beef fajita burrito($5.50). Stuffed with rice, beans, onions, cheese and of course lots of tasty, tasty meat. I topped it with the guac, salsa and even got fresh chopped jalapenos to cover it with. You have choices of chicken, brisket, taco beef or fajita beef. The salsa is fresh and has a great snap to it. If you don't like spicy you may be afraid, but I loved it. The guacamole was creamy and had a little bit of chunk to it. Some of the other menu items include flautas, enchiladas and biztek, There are also American options like brisket and fried chicken. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and are open all seven days of the week. Most all options are under $10.00 and it looks like a place I will return to. They have a small parking lot and it's small inside as well, so not alot of seating but it is worth a stop. Enjoy.

New exterior color (2015). Same great food.

Birria...everything! Like many in Fort Worth, I was drawn to Birrieria y Taqueria Cortez with the…read moreheadlines that they received Michelin recognition. A local place that serves amazing Birria, count me in! We made our jaunt for a Friday lunch and they were busy. There's plenty of space here - they have both outdoor and indoor seating but given that it was still hot AF, most everyone was crammed inside. The menu is quite expansive. As I said, its birria galore. Usually when hit with this much goodness I try to default with some of the tried and true recommendations, so I opted for the Quesataco Combo: 3 birria and cheese tacos, with all the fixings. Amazing. decadent. delicious. Plenty of words to describe the great birria they dish out here. Happy to say Birrieria y Taqueria Cortez lives up to the hype and if you're like me and you love some birria, definitely give it a shot. We will be back to try some birria pizza or even the birria ramen. Can't go wrong here.

I cant believe I havent reviews this place yet! I been coming to Cortez when they were still just a…read morefood truck back in 2020! I knew back then they were the real deal. When I was on my birria kick I would drive from Arlington all the way here because no other place came close. The meat is full of flavor and spice and the conzume they bring out with it is just as good. Its full of spice and flavor and I straight up drink that by itself, i dip my tortillas with it. I usually put salt and lemon on the tortillas and then roll them up and dip em in the conzume. In the past, I had the ramen, the platillo, the tacos, and I think the quesabirria, they are all delicious but my favorite is the quesabirria and the tacos, followed by the ramen. The menu is small but just stick with the tacos or buy the meat by the pound, and you are good to go. The rice and beans are average but still good; the salsas they have on the table are amazingly delicious. The light green one is my favorite because is not too spicy but spicy enough to give me that kick am looking for in my food. I drown my food in that salsa sometimes and then dip in conzume. In the past, I also had their margaritas, and they are delicious! The mango with chamoy and Tajín on the rim is my favorite! They have a patio in the back with another bar and more Tv's. The staff is nice, but the last 2 times i been there it took over 10 minutes to just get a waiter to recognize i had not been help and place my drink order with them. I notice the staff tends to pay more attention to bigger parties instead of groups of just 1 or 2 customers. I like the atmosphere of this place; the music, the shows they have on the tv and the murals honestly make it feel cozy like I am visiting a family member. I don't come here when they have soccer games on or late at night on the weekends because the customers can get rowdy sometimes, and that's not my vibe. All the time I've been, they have a security officer so people don't get too out of hand. The parking lot is kind of small so if you come on a busy day/time, you might need to park across the street. I never had to wait long to get a table, and the staff is pretty quick about cleaning and turning tables over to keep the wait down.

Outstanding service & recommendations from Nancy! She was very knowledgeable and passionate about…read moresharing their story, concept, dish details, her excitement for food, and to even go check out their sister restaurant nextdoor, Dos Mares. To start the meal, they brought out an amuse-bouche that I can't remember the name of. It was a silky smooth creamy squash soup. I could have eaten a bowl of that and been satisfied! Soooo good! DRINKS: Zacatecas - Banhez Mezcal Joven, Guava Puree, Lime Juice, Chipotle Tamarind Syrup Not something I would typically order but it was smokey & complex. Carajillo43 - Licor 43, fresh espresso Perfect drink to end a great meal! APPETIZERS: Cazuela de Chorizo Housemade chorizo, bruleé panela cheese, oregano pickled onion, served with handmade heirloom blue corn tortillas. To make tacos. Best chorizo I have ever tasted! Made me change my mind about not liking chorizo. Guacamole So fresh and good! Served with heirloom house made blue corn tortillas. Nancy recommended we make tacos with chorizo & guac on them. They were good! Didn't from you typical tex mex chips. (This is not a Tex Mex places). They serve a red and green salsa. Both good. Red was mild in spice level and green was hot. MAIN: Codorniz en Mole Poblano Texas quail stuffed with a creamy pecan almond rice, house made mole poblano, oven roasted potatoes, queso fresco, toasted pumpkin seeds. DESSERT: (got two to split between 6 people. Just wanted a taste). Tres Leches del Desierto - my fav of the two! Deconstructed tres leches with ammonite-shaped ice cream and berries. Encuentro de Chocolate - very rich Chocolate sphere cake filled with chocolate mousse, finished with a chocolate glaze, served with beet-ancho chile foam We are all stuffed, happy, & look forward to going back! Love all the plants on their patio. Looks like a relaxing place to enjoy a perfect meal when nice out!

First time here and it was such a positive experience. I was a little confused about dressed code…read morebut it really is a mix. We were over dressed but there were some really casually dressed people so I'd say just come hungry or sort of hungry. I had seen all the buzz about the fried cactus and as someone who has grown up eating all my life I was intrigued on how this would be any different. Boy was I wrong. In fact, I would be happy enough just coming and eating only this. I have some sort of food limerence where I cannot stop thinking about this. Like daily! I want it so bad. No it was a whole experience because waiter placed this bowl towering with a mountain of curly crunchy ribbons. He kindly gave us his advice on the best way to eat it. You take their fresh made blue corn tortilla, pile on the cactus, don't be shy, if it fits in your mouth just go for it, then that green sauce was heavenly. All the flavors combined made me levitate. That would've been embarrassing. You could easy fill up on this alone given enough time and privacy. I just wanted a moment alone to enjoy fully ha ha. I then ordered the Chile en Nogada and the picture alone was enough for me to go yes we're on our way immediately. However listen I am a self proclaimed gift wrapping queen. I know a good ribbon and a good bow. I know that the typical dish has a bow - yes a fabric bow but this bow was not up to the standard of this restaurant, unfinished edges, and the color satin gold was not really representative of the environment. Good thing the bow is not edible but visually it could use a little improvement. The dish itself was 4 out of 5 for me only because I have had this dish before at a more casual space and every component of the dish was full flavored, where this one feels a bit safe. For dessert I was a little unimpressed with the options. I am not a fan of tres leches so I did not order their most famous desert but instead opted for another one that was a pastry with ice cream on top. I also give it 4 out of 5 its needing more flavor and sweetness, I mean this is dessert. The five stars is more for the service. Our server was amazing. He described every dish we ordered as if we were watching a Netflix documentary of a chef competition and they just submitted their dish. The table next to us got an amuse bouche compliments of the chef and I didn't want to be too nosy and peek over so I have no idea what it was. I was really hoping we'd get one too because honestly I was still hungry after all that. Oh cocktails. We ordered a drink before our table was available and I was not playing. I remember ordering a glass of bubbly rose and when our server brought it he served me a sip and had me try it before I decided, but honestly I wanted to tell him that I couldn't feel my face just pour it.

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.
