Loungin' Lizard
Small creative American spot with a chalkboard menu that changes with the seasons, often named one of the best restaurants in the Four Corners region.
A small restaurant at the corner of Main and Market streets (2 West Main Street). The chalkboard menu is built around the freshest seasonal ingredients, and most dishes are made in-house. Reviews often mention the green chile shredded pork pizza, pork belly tacos, bison burger, Southwest-style Cuban sandwich and green chile Reuben. Desserts include bread pudding with cinnamon ice cream. Gluten-free dishes are labelled. Prices are on the high side for Cortez, the kitchen is small, and food can take a while. About USD 25–40 per person.
