Great Customer Service! I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly my food arrived, it was ready…read morewithin minutes! I live nearby and had no idea they opened at 9 a.m. Now, I know where to go when I'm craving birria before the 11 a.m. rush. Kassandra was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout my visit. I ordered two burrito combos, a watermelon and lime margarita with a sugar rim, a strawberry and mango margarita with a tajín rim, and the top sampler platter. I enjoyed everything, but the margaritas were definitely the highlight! I rarely drink alcohol during the summer, so I was excited to try the margaritas this establishment had to offer, and they did not disappoint. I also noticed a new establishment across the street with a similar name. I asked Kassandra if both restaurants had the same owner? As I suspected, they did! After paying my bill, I decided to head across the street to check out the owner's new restaurant. The staff at Mariscos Cortez was very welcoming and I'll definitely be returning to explore their menu! Note: Keep your receipt for 10% off your next visit! Offer valid for 14 days.

They were stuffed with tender meat and were not excessively greasy. They come with onion and cilantro and three different salsas. Kind of embarrassed to say I ate it all but I couldn't help it. The place has interesting murals and Mexican music and clay plates which made it feel more authentic. Service was friendly although they gave my plate to the person next to me, they went back and brought me my food fairly quickly. The horchata was also very good.

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.

At first glance it seemed very cool, ambience was very welcoming, like we were at a family members home. However, the issues began when it was time to order. There were so many exclusions available after lunch time that we didn't really know what we ordered. My friend and I ordered margaritas...barely a drop of alcohol in either and were melted when they arrived. The other thing is a server brought out a plate of nachos (large tortilla with melted cheese) but didn't tell us it was two separate orders. Another friend ate mine by accident. Our server spilled some of my margarita on the table then wiped her hands on our tablecloth. Absolutely unsanitary. I ordered the small enchilada plate and $22 later I was disappointed. Food was mid at best, nothing was spectacular or cause to return. The cash only rule was fine until they told us they wouldn't split the check. Keep in mind that we barely know what each of us ordered since the server suggested items not found on the menu. I just added $40 and said good day. I've had DoorDash deliver better Mexican food than this.

We started off with a couple margaritas, a side of queso and guacamole. Their chips and salsa were ok....no not really. Their salsa's are "bland". Missing flavor. We tried multiple and non were tasty. We added some verde to their main salsa, squeezed a lime or two and asked for some cilantro, salt and created the perfect salsa. Their Queso had a generic taste. It doesn't taste like real cheese and was liquidity....Even as it cooled it was too runny. A big miss. Their guacamole also felt "premade". Another miss. I ordered the verde enchiladas and enjoyed them. They were tasty but was light on the green sauce. He had the Flautas and Sour cream enchilada. Both were really good. Flautas were crispy.

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.
