???????????? Taqueria Cortes is a hidden gem! The tacos are bursting with flavor – from the succulent meats to the perfectly seasoned toppings. ???? The homemade tortillas are a game-changer and the salsa bar offers a spicy kick that elevates every bite. ????️???? With friendly service and authentic Mexican vibes, it's a must-visit for any taco enthusiast! ????????????
I've been Ordering Camarones Rancheros at this Restaurant for about a yr now, and today was the first time we actually Sat at a Table and Ate! I always Order our Food to go! And also this was the 1st time we eat Breakfast at Cortez Taqueria! And it did not disappoint, I ordered the Huevos Rancheros for myself. And omg the Rice the Beans and The Sauce was so Delicious!!! I almost wanted to Lick the Plate it was so Good, yeah the Husband doesn't like it when I try to do that. He Ordered the Breakfast Enchiladas (it's a Cheese Enchilada)Also Very Delicious!! For Both our Plates a Coffee and a Soda we Paid $22 and change! Not Bad at all for some very delicious food, I would have paid more at McDonalds and it be mediocre! So if you are Around Salinas,CA definitely give this Place a Try!
I ordered a regular burrito here around 11:30am not too busy I was quick in & out. The burrito was fantastic for its price about the length of a forearm. The rice is soft & fluff, the beans are delicious and the meat.. Juicy & flavorful, the tortilla is not burnt or microwave cooked, it seems to be flipped on a pan perfect. The burrito was almost perfect if only there was more meat in it. But that's just me, a size fluffy if you know what i mean. Definitely next time I'm in the area for work I'll know where to go for lunch. Also the salsa it came with was rich with flavor & spice could go up a few levels but for people non spice lovers it's perfect in my opinion
It's a very small taqueria but it does the job just right
Food is average, but the staff is friendly and family owned, which is always a plus for me, and the atmosphere, especially during Karaoke night, is amazing. The place is a little on the small side, though, so it may feel a little crowded at times even when the place isn't packed. I will say, though, you definitely feel like part of the family in this place. Yes, the food can be better, but it's not bad at all.
It's a good spot eat and drink
If you sit down and eat inside keep in mind they won’t let you know they will charge you for the chips that are normally complimentary. They will charge you for the refills and most likely will show you the old menus that don’t have the updated prices. This place is overpriced and the food is something that you can make better at home.

So many things wrong with this place!
First outrageously priced with no correct prices listed ANYWHERE and did not let you know that they will just bring you a piece of paper with a random number. Then fight you on the price.
Second, food was the worst. We all got something different. Tacos, burrito, quesadilla, and menudo. None of it was good. No flavor, small, and un-filling. half way through our meal they took the salsa away from us without asking if we were done with it and gave it to another table.
AVOID this place unless you wanna pay a crazy price for a meal that was gross with terrible service.
