El Cortez Gourmet Mart

Phenomenal Employee. This employee totally deserves recognition from management. Yesterday a gal was working the desk. We were at the El Cortez for a wedding when my mother-in-law lost the backing to her diamond earing which was a family gift. We looked around on phones for places to get replacement. In desperation my mother-in-law went around the corner to the El Cortez Gourmet Mart and a young sweet Spanish gal immediately offered help. The employee took her own earring off and offered it as possible match. However, the backing didn't fit. The employee said no worries I will find something. The employee then dug into her purse and found a backing option that was close to fitting. The employee went into a back room and said no worries and came out with a backing that fit the earring. I bought stuff just because she was so helpful. My mother-in-law offered her money and she refused. The world needs more kind people like that employee. Wish I knew her name. She clearly understands customer service.

Cute little bodega with some beers, wine, chips and a few other necessities. It’s a great alternative to the shady 7-eleven. The

Great small market just ran down today to get some flour tortillas great little neighborhood market. It has a lot of essentials.

This is a great place. Very convenient and fresh. The owner and the employees are very nice here. Very thankful that this place is in the neighborhood of Cortez Hill.

Extremely friendly staff and an excellent selection of items, particularly​ the wine and beer selection.

A cute local market with friendly staff. A good place for last minute alcohol purchases.
