" I stumbled upon El Cortijo Taqueria while visiting Burlington and I must say, it was a delightful surprise. The atmosphere is charming, reminiscent of an old diner but with a vibrant Mexican flair. I ordered the tacos and guacamole, both of which were fresh and full of flavor. The portion sizes were generous too! The staff was super friendly and attentive, making my dining experience even better. I highly recommend this place if you're in the area. You won't regret it! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I had dinner here last week, and it was fantastic! The taco platter we ordered was delicious with various fillings. I especially loved the carnitas! The homemade guacamole is a must-try. The ambience was lively, perfect for our group night out. The only downside was the noise level which could be a bit much at times, but overall, it didn't detract from my enjoyment. Great place, I would definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Cortijo after hearing all the buzz, but I left feeling a bit let down. While the ambiance was cute and the chips were fresh, the tacos were not impressive. There was a lack of flavor, making them feel bland overall. The service itself was good, attentive staff, but I was expecting so much more from the food considering how touted it is. I would try it again, but I won’t make it a priority. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Cortijo Taqueria is a little hidden gem. The taqueria vibe is charming and cozy. I had the vegan tacos and they were flavorful! The highlight was the hot sauces they serve—definitely kick up the flavor. However, the portions were smaller than I expected for the price. Still, I enjoyed my meal and the overall experience. Would come again! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Cortijo is a charming little spot! I loved the decor and the vibrant atmosphere. The service was quick and attentive. My tacos were nice but felt slightly overpriced compared to the portion sizes. Nevertheless, I would recommend it for a fun outing and trying their burritos or breakfast options next time.

" El Cortijo has become one of my favorite spots! The atmosphere is so lively, and the service is consistently excellent. I tried their special nachos and was blown away by how much flavor there was. It really feels like a place where you can sit back and enjoy good food with friends. Plus, their margaritas are made fresh! Can't recommend it enough. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to trying El Cortijo. While the ambience is charming, the food experience left me wanting more. My tacos were decent but didn’t have that homemade taste I was hoping for. The service was fine, very friendly staff, but the prices did feel slightly high for what was served. It's a good place but I believe they can improve their recipes. " (*Curated Review*)
