TJ K
Intimate Mexican restaurant is a quaint residential neighborhood in downtown Portland. Friendly staff with communal tables. The food was pretty good. We’ll definitely be back. Compared to most Mexican restaurants, the food took a while, but they also had a significant number of takeaway orders. The beans and rice were excellent! The food was fresh and not processed. Thank you for a great night out.

Cozy atmosphere, food tasted fresh, friendly staff, and fair pricing. Good quick spot for some Mexican food. The mini chimichanga platter was the very good.

Really good food and cocktails! I got the standard chicken tacos and they tasted phenomenal. Tasted like real food cooked at home. The salsa was great and perfectly spicy. I even tried refried beans for the first time and I really liked the way it tasted. They also didn’t skimp out on the amount of alcohol in the drinks, like most places do. I really enjoyed my cocktail! And it’s not too pricey. 5/5

We were craving Mexican on a Friday and decided to finally try out El Corazon after a friend recommended it. I am so glad we did! It honestly exceeded our expectations and we cannot wait to go back soon.

The food was plenty and tasty. The hostess/waitress did an excellent job while taking care of a full restaurant on her own.

Good spot for Mexican food. Tacos are excellent. Service wasn’t the best but not hugely disturbing. Burritos were fine but nothing particularly great.

Have never eaten in here, but seems to have a comfortable, casual vibe. The takeout food we get here is always excellent. The service is pretty good, everybody always seems to be smiling while working.
