Cortez Mexican Food — Restaurant in California

quality of food is average. it’s good, but nothing special. the owner was extremely rude. we were waiting for our order number to be called (never was called) but he didnt call us and everyone who ordered after us got their food first. if i was giving him the benefit of the doubt and we didn’t hear them he called us up by saying “do you want your food today or tomorrow?” in a very rude tone. at first i thought he was joking but then he got angry and started saying that he called us. he didn’t. he called everyone else before calling us up. if you speak spanish, he’ll treat you like a normal human being. if you don’t, you’ll probably have a similar experience to mine. picture is the burrito my boyfriend ordered: he did not ask for guacamole. he doesn’t eat it. ended up going elsewhere. i don’t forsee a future visit here. there are much better places to go...

I had looked at reviews and they gave it high marks for the food quality and medium to okay on the place and atmosphere.

The beef enchilada was okay, but the sauce was too much and became gooey mess. The owner/server was nice, friendly and spoke English and Spanish. I don't think I'll go back. For an area so close to Mexico and San Diego, I expected more athentic...
