Wow wow and once again, WOW! Luis and I came to Portland from New York for a vacation this past year and we were blown away by this absolutely delicious restaurant. Portland is known for its food and when we saw there was a Mexican restaurant here we knew we had to try it. We are from Puebla, Mexico and hold Mexican food very near and dear to our hearts. To be honest, we initially did not have high expectations for this restaurant and assumed it would be 'fake' Mexican food since there are not many Mexicans in Portland. BOY WERE WE SURPRISED. El Corazón Restaurante is by far the best Mexican food that we have tried in the United States! For our four day stay in Portland, we ended up coming back twice. The fried green tomato (tomatillo) tacos are so innovative and absolutely delicious, I could not get enough! The salsa that they put on top of the taco brought it together beautifully and created such a rich flavor. Luis had the tacos de suadero and love love loved them! He said that the meat was cooked beautifully. Reading the restaurant's history on the menu was so touching and made the meal ever so much more special. The reason I actually came on this website today was to show a friend where she needs to go for her upcoming trip to Portland. El Corazón is a MUST! All in all, we absolutely enjoyed the food at el corazon and can't wait to go back to Portland and get some more!
