Extensive menu items. Delicious food. Prompt service. Generous condiments. Highest overall recommendation.

I wish we could give half a star because there was no reason for me to take off one star. I have tried most of the taco shops in fallbrook and decided to try this one in bonsall. Now I wonder what took me so long to try this spot. I think this will be my go-to taco shop from now on. I'll have to check my bookmarks but I think I've tried every Taco shop in the town of fallbrook and all of them are pretty mediocre. Not bad but not great. With that said this one is right up my alley! I love real tacos and they have lots of choices so it's not just two or 10. I asked for red sauce he gave me extra with no green. I will come back and give it five stars after I try more of the menu which shouldn't take me too long! I'm so happy I found this place. read more

Friday before Christmas we really didn't feel like cooking so we decided to go have some Mexican food takeout. The wife had. A regular bean burrito which she said was very delicious. I chose the cheese enchilada plate with rice and beans thoroughly surprised the rice and beans were very good. The cheese enchiladas were equally tasty. Couldn't beat it for $11.99. great job guys! If I had one complaint it would be the paper cardboard containers that the food is in for takeout. Very flimsy but other than that excellent job guys. The food tastes great. I can deal with flimsy containers if you keep having tasty food. read more

We visited Cortez Mexican Food early in the AM on Saturday morning before driving out to Pauma Valley for a little dirt trail driving adventure up the mountain. Decided to stop here since its right off the 76, and grab a california burrito with adobada instead of carne asada. Prices were normal and comparable to other Mexican food spots in our Vista area. It was pretty quick to get our order since we were the only ones there at the time. We didn't eat out burritos until we got to the mountain, and I was immediately saddened after taking a bite. It tasted like how fabuloso smells :-( and I just couldn't get past that. I think since we were the first orders of the morning, maybe they cleaned the area where they prepare the food? And the cleaner got on to the meat or other parts of the burrito like the tortilla? It just tasted like cleaning agent burrito lol I WILL give this spot another try next time we drive that way to the casinos. I feel like this could have been a one-off because of all the great reviews I see on here, and I will update my review accordingly. Until then, just make sure to trust your senses. Don't eat it if it smells off, please. read more

We love Cortez! We get the California burrito with Adobada instead of carne asada and it SLAPS everytime. My husband does a call in order at least once a week!!! read more

Food is no good to me. Atmosphere is outdated and service is terrible. Needs a full self serve salsa bar.

Fries in my Cali burrito were stale or maybe even still a little frozen, honestly couldn't tell, but not good. I originally tried to order a bacon breakfast burrito, and the server who seemed a bit irritated, told me, "No bacon breakfast burritos, no bacon ever," which was confusing since they do have ham breakfast burritos. Overall, not a great experience. I won't be coming back read more

Amazing Cali burrito! Spotless restaurant, fast service, and super friendly staff. Highly recommend!

The 3 rolled tacos with guac and cheese are so tasty! They taste like a glorified version of the frozen taquitos (in a good way)! Yum. Good price too. $5.99. read more

Best Mexican in Bonsall! Here is an updated menu. We love the tacos and burritos and they are fast. Best for take out but you can eat the

My wife and I decided to try Cortez Mexican Food...we've passed by it numerous times over the years going to and from Oceanside. It's small and very informal. We ordered the California Burrito, Taquitos with guacamole & shredded cheese and tacos Al pastor. The service was fast and made fresh to order. If you're in the area or just passing by, please consider trying Cortez Mexican Food...I promise you won't be disappointed. On a side note: The tacos are not your typical street style tacos...they're much larger and very filling. read more

It's really great place for authentic Mexican food. Not to mention the carne asada fries are wonderful and always look like a work of art. The burritos are also really good. I only wish they had more sauce options. The sauce they have is not bad but it's not great. But other than that, it's a great place. read more

Dry, bland, tasteless breakfast burritos. Forgot adding the cheese to one of the two I purchased. I would say pass on this hole in the wall. Drive a little bit farther to either Fallbrook or Vista. Numerous better choices. read more

Best Mexican food ever. My favorite place to stop when I need a taco. They're quick and have the tastiest horchata.

Really good bean and cheese burritos. My go to order is bean, cheese , rice , sour cream and double wrapped . Can't go wrong here .

I ordered my usual, a ca burrito and rolled tacos, i support local businesses, took it home and at it it voraciously. Will be back fo sure.

My wife and I live in Fallbrook, but anytime we pass by Cortez...we find an excuse to grab a bite. I personally love the Flying Saucer and my wife loves the shredded beef taco and enchiladas. A good place to grab a tasty bite. It's consistent, always fresh and the pricing is fair. RightOn, Denise & James read more

Recently moved to the area and I've been wanting to check out all the local spots. Last night we were too lazy to cook so we stopped by and ordered a few burritos! The pollo asado was decent and they were well sized but the carnitas wasn't shredded and the cubes were really dry. The clerk was really friendly and offered us all the sides we could want and I tipped $5 up front to show my love. However the salsa is just a red sauce and the pickled carrots were bland. That's all nbd for me. Here's why this is a one star rating: The pollo asado burrito came with a rock in it. And not an accidental kind. This is a rock someone went out the back and picked up and put in intentionally. I nearly chipped a tooth. When I called the next day to try and inform the owner that someone is sabotaging their business a lady answered the phone with simply "Cortez". I said hi and asked if the owner was around. She said yes. I said ok thanks! Then there was silence. I said hello? She said yes. I asked her again if the owner was around. She said yes. I asked if I could speak with them please. She said what do you want. I asked if she was the owner. And she hung up. She then took the phone off the hook so I couldn't call back. I have half a mind to stop by and try to help inform the owner of her/his employees practices. But then I might just avoid this place instead. I speak decent Spanish and am extremely polite as I'm in the industry. This kind of stuff is really sad. read more
