" Laid-back atmosphere and great food! I had the pozole and it was hearty and tasty. The service was on point, and our waiter made sure we had everything we needed. The only thing I would suggest is to add more vegetarian options to the menu to appeal to a wider audience. Still a great place for casual dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this place! The shrimp burrito I had was to-die-for. I felt like the flavors brought me right back to California! The staff were friendly and attentive—particularly the bartender who recommended an amazing margarita that complemented my meal perfectly. I highly recommend trying the happy hour deals here! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Corazon has quickly become our favorite local Mexican spot! Each plate feels freshly made with quality ingredients. I had the mole enchiladas and they were rich and decadent, no skimping on flavor. The service was friendly, although we had to wait a bit longer for our food than anticipated. Still, a very enjoyable dinner overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Corazon offers a genuine taste of Mexico right in the heart of Portland. I ordered the mole and it was spot on! Rich and complex with a great depth of flavor. The service was a bit slower than expected, but the warm atmosphere and friendly staff made up for it. The only downside was that the side of beans tasted a bit bland. Overall, a lovely experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" My favorite Mexican joint in town! The burritos are massive and delicious! I definitively feel the authenticity in the food, where every bite is bursting with flavor. The service was impeccable, attentive without being overbearing. I will be coming back quite frequently now. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem in Portland! I was so thrilled to find authentic birria on the menu. The flavors were rich and comforting. The margaritas were also a treat, with a perfect balance of sweet and tart. The staff was very welcoming and even gave us some recommendations for drinks and food. I would highly recommend El Corazon to anyone who appreciates genuine Mexican cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my experience at El Corazon. The tacos were fresh and made with quality ingredients. I appreciated the variety of salsas that came with them. My only complaint was the environment felt a bit cramped and loud, making it hard to have a conversation. Overall, I'd recommend it for anyone looking for good Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)
