their mexican street corn is unmatched. i've had it many times, in many places but los lagos does it best. delicious.

Mediocre at best. I wasn't blown away by the food but it also wasn't awful. I've definitely have had better experiences at other locations. I think the buzz around this place literally comes from the happy hour margaritas. If you're looking for good food I'd recommend trying another restaurant. If you're looking to get smashed then maybe this place is for you. read more

I stopped off here this past weekend, i got beef tacos with a side of mole sauce. Nachos: Definitely homemade and good, Tacos: very tender and juicy meat with good flavoring. Mole Sauce: REALLY good, definitely the MVP. Good cocoa flavor with a slight spice. Overall: if in the area, will go to again. read more

The food lacked any taste, very bland. We ordered the beef chimichanga and the chicken and steak fajita. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, I would head over to zocallos in the shops of Ithaca mall. read more

Came in for the first time during alumni reunion weekend. This place was not here when I was at school. The place is one year old, according to the bartender. Service was prompt and simpatico and I was greeted with a smile and a how are you as soon as I walked in. It is 630pm on a Thursday. Chips and two types of salsa were brought out. The chips were corn and the salsas were tasty. Think one was spicier that the other but they were pretty close. I also got a side of guacamole which was extremely creamy and tasty. I ordered a double Casamigos reposado neat and the Flautas to start. The place is cozy but has a nice ambiance. There is a bar as soon as you enter to the right and a couple of high tops and two large tables in the center of the dining area with 7 small booths on the edges. It seems small but every table was taken I sat at the bar, where all 8 stools were taken. Prospective diners arrived continuously and were standing in the doorway and small bar area. Always a good sign. Nota bene: the place does not take reservations. My Flautas were very good. Crispy and filled with chicken and spices. Served with rice and a creamy white sauce. It was plenty for a meal. It is a nice place with some good Mexican food. They should consider putting a bit of fish on the menu the only seafood on offer are shrimp. Anyway a nice Mexican meal. I would return when in town. Mark. read more

We arrived at prime dinner time on a Tuesday. We were happy to have seats available at the bar. We shared a jalapeño margarita with Tajin on the rim. Although it was a premix from a jug, it was still tasty. First order of chips and salsa is free. The street corn was delicious. The flan is made in house and was on point. Our bartender/ server was friendly, fast and knowledgeable about the menu and details of each item. If you're looking for Mexican food in Cortland, this is the place to go! read more

Disappointed in my take out order I ask for 4 street tacos and received 4 chicken tacos. They were not that good and chewy

Cortland, NY. This is seriously an amazing authentic style Mexican restaurant. I am from SoCal and our Mexican food is great. So this place would legit rival and hold its own out there. Very affordable prices too. I was unsure what I'd get with my employee for Mexican food in this area but man am I glad I came in. I only with it wasn't a work lunch cause I could have easily drank like 5 margs. Next time! Al pastor tacos were great, actual legit Al pastor, on a spit, could taste the home made with Aleppo. Awesome salsas and sauces. Tastes hand made. Our server was way nice too. Well done Los Lagos. read more

Everything is great. Service was timely and good eats. When it's busy, sometimes food not hot but okay.

Ridiculous place with lousy food. Everything tasted the same. Tasted like Goya Sazon. I've had comida mexicana all over the place and this isn't it, including having the default tortillas be flour and not corn tortillas. AVOID! read more

They have a great taco salad! The wait staff is always helpful and fast! A really nice place to eat and great food.

I had heard such great things. However, my enchiladas were so bland. No flavor. Got a small margarita. Initially my table was surprised by the (good) size, but it was all ice. Wait staff were very nice. Air conditioner blew right on us, so we were all freezing. read more

Based on the great reviews we checked out Los lagos in Cortland. I ordered the steak poblano, which is a ribeye and a Chile relleno, my favorite. The relleno was excellent but the steak was horrible I'm sorry to say. It was tough and most of it was inedible. My husbands carne asada was slightly better. The margaritas was very good and so were the beans, a very good sign. I'd go back and stick with the relleno. read more

The food is great and is reasonably priced, and the staff is unfailingly friendly and efficient. The fireplace is cheery and gives the place a cozy feel in winter, and the booths and tables are comfortable. It's the best Mexican Restaurant we have ever had in the Cortland area. read more

The outside of this restaurant is deceiving. Nice size indoors with a bar and plenty of seating. The waitstaff was pleasant and helpful. And the food was delicious! I had the chicken quesadilla, rice, and beef enchilada. A lot of food for the price! And when we sat down, we were given tortilla chips with two types of salsa. Yes, I'd eat there again! read more

These guys are next level. Even when they are super busy, great service and delicious food! If you haven't been here yet, you are missing out. Top quality, one of the best places in Cortland! read more

We were not anticipating the large margarita to be that large! They started us off with free chips and salsa, with two different flavors. I loved the mild, my husband liked the spicy. I got chicken taquitos which were good. My husband liked his burrito quite a bit. My only complaint is how cold it was. The dining area was chilly, but the bathroom was freezing! We'll wait to come back in the summer when it's warmer out. read more

Walking into the establishment I was greeted with a smile and genuine care. Servers were respectful and mindful to the needs and wants of everyone at the table. As for the food the Chips seemed fresh and home made , the salsas were a little watery and runny but over all great to taste. ( shouldn't complain about free but I review a lot ) The shrimps seemed to be cooked w/o seasoning and the carnitas was definitely over cooked. The rice and refried beans are always a taste from home in my opinion. Super good. I'd recommend los Lagos as a nice bar over a restaurant. if your going out with friends for drinks specifically than definitely make a stop at los Lagos. read more

Came here for dinner after games at the Lumberyard. The staff was so accommodating to our big party and was able to split checks up by family. Was very impressed with the food and great service. Margarita was very good! Highly recommend. read more

10/10 recommend!! The ambiance is very cosy and welcoming. The food is always delicious, especially the lunch menu! As soon as you walk in, you're pleasantly greeted by the hostess and sat nearly immediately. The service is super quick, maybe five or so minutes from when you order your food until it's brought out to you! read more

No flavor. No spice just bland. The Beef Burrito only had un seasoned beef. Nothing else a burrito would have. Just Beef and thats all! The beef tacos ONLY had beef and nothing else... not even spice!! The Chicken Chimichangas ONLY had chicken in them and nothing else! The beans tasted like canned beans from the grocery store Aldis. Our waitress was not Mexican at all. No air conditioning when it was over 90 degrees outside. Very small inside. They tried on the atmosphere but used blue lighting inside which is not Mexican Colors. The place looked like an old dive bar not authentic at all. Believe it or not but there was a few plus's The rice was really good and the Margaritas were spot on & the waitress very nice. She received a large tip because of that and it wasn't her fault. If you want Mexican food in Cortland then I suggest you go to TACO BELL then after go here for Margarita's there. But Beware the drinks are pricey. I miss the last Mexican Restaurant named Garcias. Not sure why they closed and how this place is now here. Definitely from Garcias. read more

Tasty little stop . The atmosphere was cozy. My son and I shared the fajita fries and nachos and left full with plenty of leftovers . Super reasonably priced read more

I read so many good reviews so we decided to stop at this restaurant. What a disappointment. The menu said homemade guacamole. There was NO WAY that was homemade, and I think we got less than 1/2 for $7.00! The refried beans tasted like canned beans, and I feel certain they were. Yes, my margaritas were big, but it was mostly ice. Everyone said the service was amazing... hmm... where were those servers? My girl was snappy. Sorry, it's a big thumbs down from me. It was not authentic, and considering what we got (and the quality), it wasn't worth it. read more

Since it only had 1 review I was hesitant. It was the best I had in a long time. Started with the beef fries. Then fajitas and pork tips. All went down with a large margarita. If in area again will stop in. read more

It was very good. Service was great. Very friendly attentive service. Food was good as well! I will go back! Good to have in the community

The food and service were excellent!!! Margarita was delicious too. The outside is deceiving. Definitely recommend!

by far the most authentic hispanic food you can get in Cortland. So delicious 10/10 recommend

Just passing through town and decided to try this restaurant. My only regret is that I can't come back!

Excellent authentic Mexican cuisine! Great, friendly staff. My wife is GF and also allergic to tomatoes so sometimes dining out can be a challenge. Our waiter(Gabby) was more than willing to switch out options for her, and her meal was fantastic....she says it's our new 'go-to' restaurant, and I concur! Prices are very reasonable both for food and drinks! As a chef, I know good food, and this place serves it up! read more
