Chocolate lovers beware... you might never want to walk out... Casa Cortés is Best breakfast and lunch spot in the old city. Try the hot chocolate with a ham and cheese mallorca... you will love me for it.... Visit the art gallery upstairs.. and buy several cases of Forteza for your friends... the best chocolate in the Caribean... and probably in the world....
Was recommended to us by a friend. Hubby and I had Mocha drink and that was excellent. I had Mofongitos with chocolate and bacon on it. I loved it. Nice atmosphere. Good service.
Excellent Brunch but sometimes slow service due to the big crowd. Best hot chocolate. Good family place and also good for other than Brunch. Come early on Sundays.
The place was very good. I tried the chocolate martini and the chocolate shake. I loved it so I am definitely going back for more and this time food too (with chocolate!). The only problem is the service.. It was packed and the old woman in the front was a bit stressed out. As a retail associate and former waitress, she needs to be able to handle stress without letting her customers now. Also, the staff in the bar were a bit rude. Drinks saved the experience though.
The concept is OK but the food is not that exceptional. The service is average but the place is too small.
We stopped for lunch at Casa Cortes and were so glad we did. Must haves: the Hearty Cocoa (made without milk) and the Grilled Cheese and Chocolate sandwich. But frankly we loved everything we ordered. We also purchased some chocolate to take with us.
Very trendsetter...Went when it opened and loved it! Specially the cold chocolate drinks. Now a vegetarian and I was very please to see options for vegetarians
its not a girardelly place,its not a haggen daz , its not a lyndl place its not even a nestle place or m & m but yes is the superman of the breakfast places all based in yes you guess ; chocolate. the Cortez family started making chocolate in bars about 100 years ago they are the pioners of this industry in Puerto Rico and now they are starting to exploit the bruncholet idea
This place has a great menu and an interesting way of making the most out of chocolate. It is very clean, has a good atmosphere and the service was very good.
After reading the other reviews I just had to try the grilled cheese and chocolate sandwich......it is gorgeous! I will now not have grilled cheese any other way! The owner/ manager was a lovely friendly lady who explained to us the traditions of the chocolate and cheese combo and gave us some gorgeous extra chocolates. If you want a lovely rich hot chocolate go for the extra 72% cocoa blend one.....it's like drinking a chocolate bar! It was busy when we went so we had to wait for a table but it was worth it. We would have lived to have taken some chocolate away with us but it was so hot it would have melted in seconds, but never mind, it's a good excuse to visit again.
