Corazon Comedor: Reviews & Ratings
I went to have dinner here to celebrate a graduation. We had a reservation for later but they took us early. The atmosphere is very relaxing and inviting. We started with some guacamole and their complimentary chips that were accompanied by a flight of assorted delicious salsas. Our entrees were all very delicious and were served promptly. The staff really topped off the evening by being friendly and helpful. The next time I am in Santa Barbara I will be returning to dine here again.
This wonderful spot is my favorite Mexican restaurant in S.B. Everything here tastes delicious, is perfectly seasoned and has clean and fresh flavors. The service and ambiance are great as well. If you’re dining in, your meal will start with complementary chips covered in beans, mole and some crumbled cheese, accompanied by 4 different salsas to use on them and your meal. The ceviche and flautas are excellent starters, and you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.
I was craving Mexican food so badly and I’m SO happy this place did not disappoint! I got a mixed plate so I could try a little bit of everything—and it was all so good . The mole had just a tiny kick , the beans were perfect , and the avocado was exactly how I like it—not too many onions, just right and nice and limey . The meat was super tender, and the flavors and sauces brought everything together beautifully . Absolutely hit the spot. Can’t wait to come back!
Would highly recommend this place if you’re craving authentic Mexican food. Finding a place that can make good chilaquiles is always hard to find, but this place knows what they’re doing! Flavors are spot on. The music is great. The salsa is actually spicy. Very friendly service, asking if we had an allergies that needed to be known before serving. Will come again!
Fast service. Food was good. Coffee drinks were very pretty but not very warm. The mole was a bit sweet. Got there early before a big rush so it is a popular place.
I really enjoyed this place! You can instantly tell they use fresh ingredients because every dish looked so colorful and thoughtfully put together. Everything tasted amazing, and you can feel the care that goes into their food. It ended up being one of my favorite spots I tried in Santa Barbara. Definitely worth a visit!
My new favorite place in SB! Amazing authentic beautifully prepared Mexican food. These are some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. The atmosphere is gorgeous yet not pretentious. They say you can judge a restaurant by its bathroom and their bathroom is immaculate! I saw some of the breakfast plates and they looked delish too. I heart Corazon Comedor :)
The atmosphere and music was perfect. We ordered Breakfast taco, made with homemade blue corn tortillas, scrambled eggs, and my favorite nopales plus the machaca which was delicious. Sorry didnt take a picture but i did of the Flan. Highly recommend this place.
