Chico News & Review
Fresh from Our Kitchen
Sin of Cortez has become a true Chico hotspot over the past 15 years. The chill vibe and the dedication to fresh, delicious food and stellar coffee is what has created this breakfast and lunch joint’s appeal. The Sin of Cortez concept is simple: there should be a really great place to have breakfast. By blending the creative and operational forces behind the cafe with a “never settle for second best” philosophy, Sin of Cortez has done just that.
Sin’s portfolio is centered around tasty entrees, fresh quality ingredients and whimsical presentations. The breakfast and lunch menus were originally created by chef Isabel Cruz. Everything served at Sin of Cortez is made in-house. The salsa is fresh. The bread is baked fresh. The beans are cooked fresh. If they had room they would probably raise their own beef!
The patrons at Sin of Cortez can expect to up their standards. “there are a ton of places that will serve you food from a can. You deserve better!”
