History

Established in 2005.

Ortega's Mexican Bistro is one of the most popular dining and gathering spots in Hillcrest. The origins of the traditional recipes served at Ortega's date back 60 years, to the tiny fishing village of Puerto Nuevo, Mexico. There, the fifth-generation Ortega family fed the hungry fishing community with hearty servings of the local staples: rice, beans, tortillas and steamed lobster. Over time, Puerto Nuevo became an increasingly popular destination for Americans, who quickly took notice of the appetizing regional cuisine. Using the freshest, high-quality ingredients, we continue this tradition by using vibrant Baja flavors and honoring the Ortega family recipes. Our palate-pleasing menu delivers a diverse collection of cuisine that took root in Puerto Nuevo, all without having to cross the border. Ortega's décor uses hand-selected woven baskets, rural wood ceilings, pottery, and wood-carved doors to provide our guests the rustic feel of true Mexican culture: Welcoming and elegant.
