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 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.

I ordered the Ahi and Cholo tacos, and both were absolutely delicious. My husband had the Belly, Ahi, and Opry tacos, and he loved every one of them. I also tried the Drippy Mitch. It was the only taco that wasn't my favorite-it just didn't have the traditional chorizo flavor I was expecting. Overall, it was great and would definitely come back.

When at Four Corners, you just have to try Navajo Fry Bread, right? I had heard about it, and…read moredecided we needed to stop here before leaving. Grandma's was closed, but this stand was open. They have quite a lot on the menu for such a small stand, and a lot of options for fry bread. We decided to go with the regular fry bread with cinnamon and sugar. The two ladies inside were friendly and got our order ready quickly. It was nice and fresh as they made it while we waited. It was extremely windy that day, so even though there were tables and seating available, we opted to just eat in the car and head back out on the road. The fry bread was delicious and a wonderful snack!

In fact, it's the only spot in the area to grab food. They got a picnic table where you can sit and eat, which is nice if you want to take a quick break. I tried the traditional fried bread ($8). You can choose your own toppings, either sweet or savory. They have options like cinnamon sugar, honey, or garlic salt. I went with the garlic salt one, and while it was definitely on the salty side, it had a great garlicky flavor that I liked. They also sell snow cones in different flavors, and sodas are $3 and water is $2. They also really appreciate cash payments. Service was great. Food didn't take that long to come out.

However, we had gone on its closing day and had some great tacos, salad, and ramen. Their birria is rich and meaty with a touch of cinnamon and was awesome as a ramen and taco.

If you are a lover of well done birria, this is your place. Craving authentic Mexican food? Yep, this is your place. We started with their chips and salsa. I think you can tell a lot by the salsa at a place. Lemme just say, I was so very happy! Their salsa wasn't too chunky, not too thin and they are not afraid to season and add some heat - but hey, don't worry it wasn't too hot if you've got a dad like mine who isn't a fan of "too much spice." Such a good omen. I couldn't decide which marg to try so ordered a flight. Best decision ever. Even as I write this, I'm still hard pressed to choose a favorite. They were all so good. Add street tacos, quesadillas for my mom, elote cob, and switch fries for my dad and we were all happy campers. The flavors were obscenely good. Staff were amazing and stopped by to make sure we were always taken care of: fast and friendly. Best combo ever. The place is also super cute! Loved the bar and simplicity of the concept. Switchback has a quiet elegance while be so very casual. Perfect in my book.
