EL CORTEZ

They say you eat with your eyes. El Cortez is a sensory experience the moment you walk through the 100 year old doors. An unbounded and uncensored expression of modern Mexican cuisine set against a SoCal backdrop. The artwork and decor are meticulously placed and curated, creating a unifying design highlighted by an array of neon lighting and graffiti expression from street artists in LA. The bar serves as a focal point, casting a blue neon shadow over the 140+ displayed mezcal and tequila offerings. The sound of new and old school hip hop and Latin rap permeates throughout the room, loud and unfiltered. El Cortez is gritty, raw and parental advisory is advised!

When the sun is shining, the El Cortez patio is a vibrant, colorful and playful getaway to consume our craft cocktails and locally sourced draught offerings. Don’t be caught off guard from the constant sound of cameras going off against the patio backdrop – showcasing the largest mural in Edmonton completed by Madrid based artist Okuda San Miguel.
