From the…read moreoutside, it's a smaller building but inside is converted into an amazing business with authenticity. I will start with the host and server we had. Both ladies were excellent, fun and very very welcoming. Nicest people we have met thus far driving from Nevada. Always smiling, not hanging over you while you eat, and extremely polite. The food was absolutely incredible. Over a week traveling with numerous stops, La Casita De Cortez absolutely comes out on top easily. Homemade food with passion behind it and generous portions. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted incredible. The drinks were also impeccable with a decent variety of margaritas and others. Stop here if you can and enjoy every second of it! You won't regret it!

I have to say this isn't a place I would have come to if not for Yelp. But I'm very glad we did…read more It's not to much when you walk in, small but quaint with nice furnishings. I got the 2 item combo with an enchilada and a chili rellano and Bobbie got the 3 tacos with chicken. Both plates were fantastic with lots of flavor and looked good to boot. Both came with rice and beans. I normally don't eat much of the beans at Mexican places but these were really good and I ate most of them. Our server was prompt and pleasant and took good care of us. If you're here in Cortez and want Mexican I highly recommend this small place.

This is a local spot where you pull up, park, and staff come out to you to grab your order. After a…read morelong day of driving, this was definitely what I needed. Something easy and fast! They had a ton of different, classic options to choose from. This is your typical drive-in burger spot. The staff gave some suggestions, which I appreciated since it was my first time there. My group ordered the chicken fried steak sandwich, the fish sandwich, sweet potato fries, and the jala bites. The food was hot and tasted good. I know you're wondering why we got fish, but I wanted something light! It didn't taste fishy and was yummy for a random joint in Cortez. The jala bites were a personal favorite, as they seemed homemade. It wasn't a classic jalapeno-cream cheese situation, but instead involved chopped jalapenos, nacho cheese, and it was all fried with a crispy outer shell. I'd come back for those alone! I'd definitely come back and try more. The price was fantastic too.

So fun and friendly they moonlight as professional best friends. The pineapple salsa hit like a tropical vacation I didn't know I needed. Nachos were great -- no notes. The pulled pork was so flavorful it made me question my plain-chicken era. The brisket? Fork-optional tender. And the mac and cheese was so creamy it deserves its own zip code. But the real villain? The Chubby Cow Taco. I don't know what sorcery lives inside that thing, but it now haunts my dreams in the best possible way. 5/5 stars. Will return. Possibly tonight.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Mac and cheese was also pretty good. The burger was beyond burnt. The fries were extremely salty and tasted starchy. The ambiance was perfect because there was basically no one there except one other family. Overall I would not recommend.

We pulled to the side and one of us ran inside to go grab it. During that time, the drive thru employee came out and said we need to move since we are in the spot for people who are waiting for their food. We told her we were there cause someone went inside to get our missing item. She still said we have to move which was extra annoying because there was no way to get to the other side of the parking lot other than driving around the block. The food was fine once we all had ours. Fine for a stop on a road trip if you have the time to wait.
