I joked that I needed a BIG coffee and was rewarded with an extra large cup of coffee. The food was incredible but the highlight was the servers. They were funny, always there to refill and just plain pleasant. They made my day. Thank you ladies! I'll be back if I'm visit Cortez again.

We looked for a lunch spot via Yelp on our way home from Telluride…read more Yelp did it again. Loungin' Lizard will be our go to every time we pass through Cortez in the future. We walked in and were immediately greeted by one of the bartenders and told to sit wherever we liked. We found a nice booth off to the side of the bar area. Our server Patrick stopped by the booth and pointed us to the food menu in the chalkboard. We also had another server but I didn't catch her name. They were both very friendly and attentive. I ordered the special for the day. A green chili Rueben & fries. Wow, this sandwich was so delicious! What a creative combination of flavors. Even the slaw in the Rueben included the green chilis. The fries were hot and crispy. My husband ordered the spicy BBQ pulled pork tacos. He said the tacos were amazing and the flavors were off the charts. They were topped with a slaw and pickles. The side of "tortilla chips" had a dusting of a very flavorful spice. Not sure what it was but very tasty. Looking over the menu, this restaurant has some very creative dishes. We can't wait to stop by again! My husband ordered

The was on the wall across from our table which was a bit difficult to see. I didn't think to ask if they had paper copies. We started with the Cajun smoked wings which we got with a side of buffalo sauce. Usually they toss them in sauce but we wanted just the Cajun flavor. They were nicely seasoned and tender. The blackened chicken was tasty, the fries didn't do anything especially with a hair in them that just disintegrated when touched so I didn't say anything about it. Am just now realizing you can see it in my photo. The burger was good but the pork belly was minimal and not very exciting. The seasonal cobbler was berry, was just ok, nothing special. We had several drinks that were very good but too heavy on alcohol, the bar tender even mentioned he put extra vodka in one when he brought. I wish he wouldn't have as it really affected me and not in a good way. Even though the food was decent and there were other menu items that looked good, I'm not sure we would eat there again next time we are in town.

My soup was very heavy on onions and extremely light on broth. Our server had a difficult time entering a few changes on the order which made it a slow process. When I added a side order of fries was difficult for him to realize I wanted 3 things. Finally he said it would be an extra charge which was fine with me. I'm assuming he was new and struggling with the device. Drinks came out after our food.

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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

In addition to coffee drinks, Ziggi's Coffee also has sparkling sodas, teas, energy drinks and smoothies. The only issue that I had was the lid on my cup.
