Most Disliked
While El Corazon Taqueria boasts many strengths, some patrons have noted the limited online menu availability for takeout orders. This insecurity over menu transparency can deter those who prefer planning meals in advance. Additionally, during peak hours, especially on weekends, the restaurant can get quite busy, leading to longer wait times for tables.
Some customers mentioned that during rush hours, choices can become limited as certain items sell out, resulting in disappointment. Lastly, the restaurant's popularity and cozy size mean that getting a seat during peak lunch hours can be a challenge.

We ordered a gordita plate and quesadilla, both barbacoa. It was absolutely perfect. All made by hand in house and had the freshest vegetables. The rice and beans were delicious, and agua fresca and horchata was the icing on the cake. The service was impeccable and everyone super sweet and helpful. The price was exceptional for the amount of food you get. Me sister and I are definitely going back, there are more things in the menu I would like to try!! We stumbled across it, but this is a place worth going.

From the moment I walked in I felt welcomed. I was greeted by a woman at the payment counter and someone sat me quickly. The menu seemed like most other similar restaurants but the waitress intended that their tortillas are made every morning. That caught my attention because who doesn't love fresh made tortillas? The food was fantastic and had good portions. I will definitely add this place to my lunch spots list.

We always have delicious food here! I’ve never had anything I didn’t like. The torta is my favorite but today I got the gordita plate and it was delicious as well. My boyfriend got the barbacoa which was also really good! The charro beans were perfect with just a little bit of heat and the rice is always amazing. We were originally going to order and pick up but couldn’t find an updated menu online. We decided to just dine in so I added some photos of their current menu to my review.

If you’re craving authentic Mexican food, El Corazon Taqueria is the place to be. The menu is full of delicious options, from flavorful tacos to sizzling fajitas, all made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The carne asada tacos are a standout tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The salsa is a must-try, offering a variety of salsas to pair with their crispy homemade chips. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring a great dining experience every time. If you’re looking for great Mexican food, this place won’t disappoint! I highly recommend 10/10 from my own personal experience.

Fantastic traditional Mexican food. The pastor and barbacoa super flavorful. The aguas frescas paired well with all the food and the staff was super nice. When we arrived almost every table was full but the staff was attentive and had great service. I think they have 5 salsas to try was well. This place is worth trying.
