Cortez Restaurant, Wichita, Kansas Restaurant Details

Food:

I came here back in 2007 and the food was pretty decent. So recently I took the entire family there for what we would hope would be a nice meal. Unfortunately, the word horrible comes to mind. They use American cheese in their enchiladas. For those that don't know, that's the processed cheese food that typically comes in slices like Kraft Singles. My wife asked if they had carne asada tacos. The lady said they did. As she was walking away she said, "It has onions and bell peppers, is that okay?". My wife said it was fine and she left. What she brought back were fajitas that were flavorless. I couldn't even finish my plate and it was so gross I lost my appetite. If you're looking for real authentic Mexican food, do not come here. I'm not sure how this place even got three stars as an overall rating. It's terrible.

Food:

It may not be authentic but it's delicious. Sooo good! Chicken enchiladas! Queso Diablo yes!

Food:

I went with the Wednesday buffet around noon, it was satisfying and reasonably priced.

Food:

We take the family as a treat when we can. Their buffet has just enough variety to give you options each time you go there. My wife loves their Chile Verde. My favorite is Enrique's special and the Chicken Mole. It is simple, but tasty Mexican food. The owner is a great guy and he is always willing to talk but is not intrusive.
They have weekend events for boxing matches and they go on vacation each year about the same time. What does that tell you if a restaurant has to close when the family goes on vacation? This is a gem inside the somewhat rusty crown of the North End. I would suggest it for anyone who just wants to eat. If you want a hipster-friendly chain that panders to your wishes then you are right, it is not for you.

Man! That does it, we are going tonight. Cya there.

Food:

Best Mexican food in Wichita, hands down! Off the beaten, but is a culinary treasure. Family owned and operated authentic Mexican restaurant. Best Mexican food I've actually had in a five-state area in years.
