Sure the plaza is a little run down. Ok a lot. But that doesn't prevent me from returning here time after time. Cortina's has always been just good enough. Nothing fancy at all. But the police frequent this place, so it has to be pretty darn good. And it is. The service is always top notch and the food made fresh as ordered. Does it have the latest and greatest trends? No of course not. But it does have all the classic diner food one comes to expect of a place like this. Plus breakfast all day. The majority of the menu items are under $10 ($6.99 seems to be popular).
