Restaurante El Corazon

I really like this place. The servers are always beyond friendly and considerate. The food is great! I get the tamales and the churros are borderline illegal on how good they are! Sweet place.

10/10!!!!!!! My husband & I had take the 1.5 hour drive to Portland for an appoinment. We came across this wonderful place while searching for a delicious lunch. Wonderful, superb authentic food! we tried the house made jalepeno poppers (ginormous & fresh) to start. Husband had the pork chimichanga (pork cooked to perfection) & I had to try the fried green tomato tacos. Blown away by all the flavors! Abby was our awesome server who served up a wonderfully funny sense of humor! Be careful though, she BITES!!! 😂

Wonderful tortilla soup, extremely fresh side salads, and some of the best pan-fried jalapeños I've had that I haven't made myself. The value for the freshness and speed in which our order was ready for pick-up was incredible, as was the kindness of your impeccably-dressed front-of-house (Hot Topic for the WIN!) Many thanks for the very healing and appreciated dinner from two under-the-weather Midwesterners. ♡

Just wanted to leave a helpful review for others who haven't made their way here yet. As a Texan with mexican roots, I find this place to be my go to for a good fix when I don't feel like cooking. Authentic flavor that never misses! the pozole is my favorite so far.... Today I tried the tacos dorados with shredded beef, rice and beans with the Jalapeños toriados. Tasted just like home... thank you so much for keeping the authenticity❤️

Yesterday, I was walking through Portland and found myself hungrier than usual. I saw El Corazon and decided to stop there for some Mexican food. Usually, I'll research a place before trying but not today. I visited during the off-peak time of around 1:30 pm and was promptly greeted by an energetic hostess. She invited me to sit anywhere I wanted and even mentioned that I may want to select a bigger table since it was not a busy time! Nice, huh? She answered several questions about the menu and never winced. She was gracious throughout and aimed to please, exactly what you'd want in a hostess but seldom get. The meal was a customized quesadilla which was delicious. They even stocked a non-alcoholic beer! Heineken, no less. The pricing was reasonable, also...not cheap but what you'd expect
