Cortijo Taqueria

Being a life long Texan this is tough to admit, but El Cortijo makes some of the best guacamole I've had. Very authentic. Outstanding margaritas and the best Mexican food served in a 50s diner in Vermont, hands down.

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.

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.

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!
