El Cortijo Taqueria Y Cantina

Delicious burritos, nachos and enchiladas. The service was a bit slow. The diner car atmosphere was super cute and cozy. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals.Food: 5/5

Such an awesome place. The food is absolutely amazing. Fresh and flavorful. Very nice atmosphere, like an old school box car diner, and super friendly staff. Will be going back next time I'm in Burlington.

Great little Latin restaurant. I stopped in for chips, salsa, and a brew. The smoked salsa was great and the service was very friendly. The diner seemed like it was transported from another time with most of the original fixtures.

Disappointing! I placed an online order an hour ahead, and it wasn't ready when I got there restaurant wasn't busy. I received my order 15 minutes after their promised time. We got the fish tacos, and the beef tacos. There was no flavor whatsoever and the tortillas were hard and cold. I'm in disbelief at how bad their food is. 99 restaurant likely has better tacos. Needless to say, if you're looking for delicious Mexican food, look elsewhere. I know we will not be coming back here.

Place is cozy, not fancy but I loved it. Had a very good conversation with the manager. She's awesome. Food is delicious. I tried a vegan customized bol and my friend had a burrito. We both loved it. They have homemade hot sauce! Vegetarian options: You can ask them to remove or change ingredients without charge. They have few vegetarian options as well.

Went here with my buddy on the last day of his visit to Vermont to cap off his 2 week trip. The retro diner layout felt welcoming upon first walking in. Tables were all full on a Monday evening so we ended up sitting at the bar. For a Mexican restaurant, I was quite surprised the only non-alcoholic Mexican drink they offered was a Mexican coke so, I just drank water. For a starter, I ordered the ceviche and the Tres fish taco plate for my main course. After a long wait, someone from the kitchen finally brought out some food. Unfortunately, it didn’t include the ceviche, nor the rice and beans that the tres taco plate has written underneath on the menu “choice of two sides…” My impression is that the bartender forgot to ask us what our sides were as he claimed that it’s only included if that’s the way it was ordered. Getting over this disappointment, tacos were actually quite good. Toppings were fresh and the fish fried to crispy perfection. I would hardly call these the best fish tacos I’ve had though. Same for the ceviche, which my excitement for this “starter” was discounted based on how long it took to come out of the kitchen. Probably would not come back here for a second try.

Great little taqueria restaurant in an old diner located right off Church Street. The atmosphere is very laid back and the food is delicious. The nachos were very good and everyone enjoyed their tacos. Kids devoured the churros!

El Cortijo was a great stop for lunch! My boyfriend got the carnitas burrito and I got the chicken enchiladas, we also got salsa/guac/queso and chips and the queso was amazing! I got the caliente margarita and he got a blood orange margarita, and everything was great!

This place had some of the most unique and best tacos ever! My favourite was the mushroom one, followed by pork shoulder. I have never had such a unique flavour profile like the mushroom taco and I loved it. It was crunchy, flavourful, creamy, and delicious. I hope I’ll be back one day to taste them again!

Quite literally the best nachos and tacos I’ve ever had in my life. A must eat. Worth the price. We will need to start to eat regular at this place. Even the picky kid was rolling her eyes back in her head.
