Cortijo Grill Seafood Bar

I have worked in the area for 5 years and only now stumbled on Cortijo Grill and their famous beef lomo saltado which combined succulent beef, rice, onion, tomato and French fries (you are reading this correctly) and other Peruvian spices. The portion was massive and I left completely full after arriving quite hungry. the service was very good as well. I had to wait to get seated but only because there was one server (however there was no need for two).The venue itself looks rather plain on the outside but when you walk in you see 5 or 6 tables for the restaurant itself that could each seat 4 people and then on the opposite end of the room you see event seating that could easily fit 50 or more people. This would be a fantastic place for people to have a small wedding reception after getting married at the Old Courthouse or some other place in and around Santa Ana.I am definitely looking forward to making another trip soon to Cortijo and may even try the chicken or shrimp version of the same dish.

This place has so much to choose from and it is very reasonably priced. I had the steak salad and it was very filling. I definitely want to come back and see what else I can try on this menu.

Your tastebuds will hit the jackpot here. We were craving Peruvian food, especially anticuchos, and did we score!! We just LOVE a hidden gem and Cortijo Grill is it. Yes, there's construction going on but it's definitely worth the effort. In fact, my Peruvian said we're going to be trying everything on the menu.So far, we're off to a fantastic start: anticuchos, tacu tacu with Lomo Saltado and tallarin verde with steak. Everything was perfectly cooked. The flavors amazing! This is what it's supposed to taste like.TIP: anticuchos marinate all day and are not ready until after 4 - and well worth the wait. In fact, they made a special effort to make some for us because we came in especially for them and were too early.Give this quaint neighborhood gem a try, and you'll definitely be back again and again. Just like us.

We finally got to try this place. I dont know what was happening but we tried to go a few times and it was closed. Glad we never gave up, their green sauce is probably the best we had in awhile. We couldnt get enough of it. We tried the Beef Lomo Saltado and Beef Tallarin Verde. Great portions but both were a little too salty for us. We thought it was just our dish but when we tried each other's dish, we both agreed that they both had too much salt. Luckily, we got a free soda when we checked in to wash the saltiness down. We hope it was just a fluke because we want to go back to try the other dishes.

Relatively small but clean place. There is karaoke on Friday's and Saturday's nights. Based on the signs it looks very popular. The lomo saltado was well seasoned. I wish it would have had a little more juice but the flavor was right. Also, I understand that is hard to have multiple types of potatoes but lomo saltado should really use the equivalent to steak fries and not French fries. I like to come back and try other options to see how they do. The service was good. The waitress was attentive and the service was prompt. She checked on me 3 times which is more than you get at many places.

The service good but the food it's salty dry and burned chicken and rice maybe cooked for long time ago

On my return visit, I opted for the pesto 'tallarin verde' with spaghetti. It was phenomenal, easily one of the best pastas I've had. Highly recommend this restaurant!

We arrived with our baby very hungry and asked our server Natalia to modify some food for our baby and she made it possible. She was very helpful with food recommendations. We had rice and shrimp, Leche de Tigre, calamari and Yuka, mracuya and chicha morada drink, and helado lucuma and alfajor cookies. The place is very nice and clean. The food have big portions and very delicious. Amazing service. I highly recommend this place!A hidden Gem!

Got takeout lomo saltado with the hubby. It was good but there was way too much sauce that it made the fried super soggy and portions were a bit small for the price. The meat was flavorful and the rice was cooked well. I personally would want more vegetables in mine (only two slices of tomatoes in each of our dishes). Still very tasty but I think this is the kind of place you want to sit and eat at to get the best experience.
