My girlfriend and I are traveling from Nevada and randomly picked this amazing place out. 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!

Nothing fabulous to inform anyone about. They are VERY expensive for Mexican food inside a rather…read morerun down residential house. The good things were the marinated fajita meat and fresh corn tortillas. Unfortunately the onions and peppers were charred and burnt black which meant the meat was way overcooked The outdoor dining area was nice but it was too cold for our parents so we sat inside. They didn't offer green chile salsa which is what our mom really wanted. Our server Elizabeth was very nice and seemed too busy but was kind to fulfill our repeated requests. Their portions of sour cream and side dishes to accompany the fajitas were skimpy. We had to always ask for more fearing additional charge after charge, but happily that didn't happen. Overall it was okay. I doubt I'd return.

Mexican food is pretty simple. A lot of places try to get fancy and end up messing it up…read more El Campestre just keeps it simple and does it really well. The chicken enchilada was excellent. Rice and beans were exactly right. The chicken fajitas were hot, flavorful, and cooked just right. The fried ice cream was great too. I wouldn't call it a hole-in-the-wall, but the atmosphere is pretty bare bones. That's okay because the food is the reason to come here. Great prices, friendly service, and really good Mexican food. We'd happily eat here again next time we're in Cortez.

The food made me sick and I could not go to work the food made me sick, I would be thrilled if I was overly dramatic. The ambiance is what boomers call a "Mexican Restaurant" the lack of soul, and community is absent.

My server was attentive to me throughout the time there. The restaurant has a couple of rooms and was decorated in a typical style. I enjoyed my time there and the food was what I wanted. My only complaint is with a patio they don't allow dogs. (Finding this to be an issue in Cortez). My boy is amazing and does not bother anyone else. Just my personal opinion.
