What User likes about Ortega's, A Mexican Bistro:
I went to brunch on Sunday with my friends, and I have to say, this place is incredible! There were nine of us, and our server (I can't remember his name) was fantastic... View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Ortega's, A Mexican Bistro:
The atmosphere is lovely, but I found the prices to be on the high side. The portion sizes are pretty small relative to the cost. The food's flavor is average; the guacamole is good, but it's also quite pricey. On the plus side, the service is excellent—very attentive! Be prepared to pay a premium for drinks as well. Given the current cost of living, the prices seem reasonable, though. View all feedback.

The food was not we'll prepared. Ordered chicken in Mole sauce, and it was not what I expected. It used to be a good Mexican restaurant, Long time ago.
