What Alana Lund doesn't like about El Cortez Tequila Bar and Kitchen:
Food was good, but not filling. Very small portions for the price. Suggest a side dish to go with it, be it rice, fries, salad. Very loud, and disappointed the churros was not available. Was looking forward to trying them out. View all feedback. What Jordanna Chartrand likes about El Cortez Tequila Bar and Kitchen:
Everything is good here. The tacos, the sopes, the nachos, the fish and shrimp board is really good too: we had the other night. Although the shrimp and fish board was very good, don’t let the menu fool you... says for two people and it’s not. It’s for one person. View all feedback.

read moreGo if you want to drink cocktails and see or be seen. The beer list is poor. The food is bland and very heavy. Loud and aiming at young crowd.
So the server was lovely but the food was very average. Cocktails are good but we ordered a 1 oz Paloma rather than a 2 oz. When the bill came the manager came...
