Visited Corazon for a late lunch on a week day. They have some very authentic Mexican options on the menu, not just your run of the mill Americanized Mexican food. It was very good, I would definitely return again!
My gauge for a good Mexican restaurant is their salsas. The ones here didn't skimp on their chilli usage and I was a happy customer. Yelp check in gets a free basket of chips with two salsas. We tried- **Chicken tacos-4/5-delicious chicken and toppings but the amount of fat visible between the two tacos was insane. **Mole poblano-4/5- I was excited for this one as the description on the menu was very enticing. 30 ingredients in a made from scratch complex sauce with chocolate and dry and roasted chillies. The versions I tried before were always sweet and I am not particularly fond of sweetness in my savory dishes. Unfortunately the version here was sweet as well but the mole was a lot smoother and more palatable than other places. **Quesadilla-4/5-kids got this and reported it was decent. **Burrito-3/5- average burrito, missed some heat. Salsas came to rescue here. Ambiance is colorful. The complex is not crowded and hence we were able to enjoy our meal outdoors.
Good food. Casual environment. Nice staff. The only thing that I didn't care for was that the interior smelled funny similar to the smell of an old historic building. Located in a shopping plaza shared with other businesses so parking shouldn't be a problem.
Stopped by here again tonight and like the first visit , everything was excellent. The service is perfect and makes you feel at home , very clean establishment. Had the shredded chicken enchiladas , those and the rice were perfect. Highly recommend as a side the chips and guacamole, as it is extremely fresh. Overall about 30 bucks , standard for Bay Area so all good !
Went to Corazon for the first time for a Sunday lunch. It was very quiet at the strip mall as well as in Corazon. I wasn't so sure for a moment but when I saw the menus then tasted their delicious food, I started telling friends and family about it. Had tacos with Pastor, Chicken Oaxaca, Shredded Beef and Carnitas. And they were each 10/10 delicious. I also had a tortilla soup that was meaty and warming. Then we topped it off with churros filled with Bavarian cream. Yum! On the menu, the tacos are named Street-Style Tacos, but they are more restaurant style. I did want grilled onions and peppers but there weren't. Friendly service. Went back a few days later and tried the Pork Pibil taco. Also yummy. Easy parking. Outdoor seating available. Btw fyi open until midnight Thursday to Sunday. Wow.
Yelp check-in = Complimentary chips and salsa, $1.75 value, even for my to-go order. Quality/Quantity - Got the following tacos today: Chicken Oaxaca - She told me that this will have a kick, but I did not taste any heat at all. Carnitas - My favorite of the three and this had the most flavors. Grill Chicken - This had the least amount of flavor, but probably the healthiest. All three tacos have the same sauce and toppings. Overall, I felt they had a good simple menu. See the two pictures. They have specials also. See pictures or website. Atmosphere - Decent size restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Bright and nice decor. Table or counter table seating. I believe they offer counter-service. I ordered to-go at the counter. Self-service water. Plenty of mall parking. Open 7 days a week 11am to 8:30pm or midnight. Service - Okay, counter service. Price - $3.50 for each of the tacos I ordered, totalling $11.46. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success for 5+ years.
This little Mexican restaurant is hidden in a sleepy shopping center at the corner of Mary & Fremont. It's in the same shopping center as Smart & Final and Starbucks. Easy parking, it's always plentiful. I've been coming here for years even though it's a bit of a drive when there are closer options. The lady at the counter is always friendly and nice. There are several tables inside, a mix of high and low tables. Restrooms are in the back. I'm always surprised how empty they are, even around noon on a Friday. You won't have any trouble getting a table. I've only stopped by for lunch, so maybe they get more crowded in the evenings. Their Super Burrito is my usual go to. They have all the usual stuff you'll find at a taqueria : tacos, burritos, enchiladas. They also have other specialties such as Chicken Mole, Pork Pibil, Pork Pipian, Oaxaca, Chile En Nogada, Carne Asada. And some seafood dishes such as Pescados a La Veracruzana, Camarones a la Veracruzana, Camarones Chipotle, and Camarones a la Diabla. Kids menu available, too!
A delightful gem in the neighborhood offering Mexican cuisine. I've been eyeing this spot for some time, especially after glowing recommendations from neighbors on the friendly Nextdoor app. The cozy restaurant accommodates around 30 patrons, featuring a mix of tall tables, a communal table, inviting window bar seating, and a handful of smaller tables. The counter service setup adds a touch of convenience, yet the attentive staff brings your order directly to your table, elevating the dining experience. Our selection included a veggie taco salad, chicken mole, and chicken enchiladas, all bursting with robust flavors and expert seasoning. The veggie salad, brimming with a medley of fresh and roasted vegetables, was an absolute delight. In addition to our main dishes, we also indulged in chips and salsa. While the chips weren't as fresh as we'd hoped, the salsas were exploding with flavor, particularly the potent kick of the red salsa. And let's not forget the horchata, a refreshing and delicious complement to our meal. The pricing remains fair and in line with expectations. Needless to say, we're already planning our return visit to savor more of the delectable offerings this charming establishment has to offer.
