El Cortez Mexican Kitchen + Tequila Bar specializes in modern latin food and tequila. Our menu encompasses everything from tapas, to traditional latin entrees, to gourmet street foods & tacos, to nuevo latino fusion dishes.
We are proud to carry over 140 different tequilas and mezcals which are all 100% agave and have been selected for their unique and delicious qualities. El Cortez is also 1 of 9 bars in the world to have earned an authentication by the Tequila Regulatory Council in Guadalajara.
In addition to our large selection of tequilas, we have a vibrant craft cocktail program, as well as a selection of beers, wines, and other spirits.
The main floor is a restaurant & lounge open 7 days/week while the tequila cellar basement is a space to continue the late night fun and dancing alongside DJ's on the weekends. The tequila cellar is a perfect space to host private parties for groups anywhere from 2 to 100.
Since August 2014 El Cortez hosted the following live “secret” shows: Matt Mays, Raine Maida & Chantal Kreviazuk, SIIINES, Tiga, Lindi Ortega, Shawn Hook, Lyra Brown, Jimmy Gnecco and others.
We look forward to having you!

Annnd just for fun, here's an El Cortez Fable......
Little is known of Edmonton's El Cortez... Some say it has been in the city for years, while others say it does not exist at all... The only known evidence of it's existence is an abstruse interview between El Diablo and an unnamed Horseman.
The following is a transcript of the interview, which took place in an undisclosed location, at an unknown date, somewhere in Edmonton, Canada. The conversation lasted exactly 6 minutes, El Diablo permitted the horseman to ask him 6 questions, and during the interview, El Diablo drank 6 shots of tequila.
The interview...
Horseman: What brings you to Edmonton?
El Diablo: The El Cortez...And the beautiful women
Horseman: What is the El Cortez?
El Diablo: The El Cortez is freedom. It is expression. And it's a great place to grab a taco.
Horseman: And the women? Tell me about them...
El Diablo: Tequila + Women = Sexo
Horseman: Tequila?
El Diablo: El Cortez is a tequila bar, you idiot.
Horseman: When is the world going to end?
El Diablo: The minute you grow up, and stop living.
Horseman: Ok, so where do I find "this" El Cortez?
El Diablo: You don't find the El Cortez... The El Cortez finds you...
