El Cortez sits in a strip mall on Goldfield, just before you hit Yerington. It's wedged between a…read moreplace that does shipping and printing and a gun shop. From the outside, it looks like an afterthought. Inside, not much changes. No one says hello. The staff looks at you with melancholy, like they weren't expecting anyone. The place feels temporary, like it could pack up and vanish by morning. The décor, doesn't seem to follow any plan. I ordered a bean and cheese burrito and a chicken quesadilla. Nothing fancy. Just something to eat. The total came out over twenty dollars. I looked at the receipt and looked at the food. The math didn't add up. No one talks. No one smiles. There's a TV turned up too loud playing something forgettable, and music playing over that. It doesn't cover the silence. It just makes you want to leave faster. The food was bland. The kind that makes you wonder if you were even hungry in the first place.

Service can vary, only because they get hit with big crowds on the weekends. Call ahead if you're able to. Ambulance is cool.

This place does not look like the pictures. When we went there we asked the guys coming out, "Was…read moreit any good?" They kind of looked down and shook their heads, no. We should have listened. So, the place had the motif of, "Someone broke into an abandoned building and ran a business." Floor was dirty, tables were dirty, trash cans full, bathroom dirty, drink dispenser not working only had maybe 30 drinks in the refrigerator. Very limited selection of what drinks they did have. All salt and pepper shakers were empty. I asked for a fork, it wasn't clean. In the picture on their site where the counter is, to the left there was a DJ sound board that was so dirty if you blew the dust would have made a cloud. I ordered a pastor burrito, cheese was obviously waved over it, because I couldn't find it or the meat, but it had plenty of lettuce.... The meals of my wife and friend were same par. My friend had been there before and said, "It was good before." The only thing that was good were the French fries and I was glad we didn't get sick after eating there. That's the only two things good I can say. I would not recommend this place to my dog. Zero wasn't an option, but the fries were good. Randahl

This is definitely in the category of a hidden gem!…read more YTA (Yerington Theater for the Arts) manages this amazing old building that serves as the cultural center for the small farming community of Yerington. Inside this refurbished old grammar school is an amazing little cafe operated by YTA. I used to come to the cafe when I lived in Yerington and it was under different management. I am so happy to see that the Cafe has been revived under the capable management of Roy Enochson, the Executive Director of YTA. A friend and I decided to have lunch here recently. The Cafe is in the lobby area of the Theater and serves as a place to eat, an art gallery and a boutique for all sorts of arts and crafts most of which are locally made. The space is a bit like being in a favorite Auntie's parlor with little tables, comfy chairs and a visual cornucopia of treasures. My friend ordered the lunch special - butternut squash ravioli with a side salad. I ordered the Cafe Signature Salad - a lovely fresh blend of baby greens, apples, cheese, cranberries, candied walnuts all lightly dressed with a white balsamic vinaigrette. I also had a blood orange Italian Soda. The food was all tasty and fresh. Service was vey friendly, but the food was slow coming out. It was worth the wait. Our total bill for the two of us was under $20. While the portions were not huge, the meal was satisfying and the quality was excellent. This is a definite place to stop if you are in the area. It is a fabulous alternative to the fast food and casino coffee shops that are in the area.
