    Octopus Taco with shrimp
    Melissa L.

    Chef Ramon Velazquez has done it again!!!!Congratulations on opening up Corazón Cocina Sur at the new Linden Square eatery in Carpinteria. Anything Chef Ramon touches I instantly fall in love with. The aesthetic, community vibes, artistry, atmosphere and most importantly THE FOOD keeps me coming back for more. After seeing these lovely ladies - Jara, Adi, and Angela posting all about Linden Square and Ramon's new eatery here, I knew I had to come check it out. Such a lovely drive up the coast as always. Linden Square is everything you want it to be. Relaxed vibes, thoughtful decor while still feeling casual and inviting - this is definitely the new foodie destination as you make your way up/down the coast. This spot is now home to some powerhouse names in the food industry, and I love their ode to bringing local Santa Barbara based businesses further down south for others to enjoy. Great work! Back to Corazón Cocina Sur, a literal 10/10. The menu is exciting and hones in on some fabulous seafood inspired dishes. My eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach but at least I got to sample a few stellar bites and one dish that I am dubbing THE BEST BITE IVE HAD YET THIS YEAR. LA BAJA TOSTADA - Tuna tartare, spicy tempura shrimp, mayo, ponzu, avocado on a tostada, I am drooling reliving this bite. An emotional experience, it was beautiful and the perfect bite of everything that I love. I will dream about this bite and am eager to get back the asap for some more. Chef Ramon really outdid himself with this one. An honorable mention would also be their shrimp and octopus taco. Spicy, savory, and melt in your mouth octopus, an easy YES. I will end with saying I felt like I was a cool kid because at least five different people stopped at my table to ask where I ordered my food from and what dishes I bought. The food is always stunning, and it makes sense that it stops people in their tracks. So glad I got to checkout Liden Square today and to support another one of Chef Ramon's amazing eatery's.

    Corazón can do no wrong! Located in the beautiful new Linden Square in Carpintería. I have been twice since the opening and it's been phenomenal each time. I tried items that I love and have tried before and some new items too. Their taco norteño stays being a favorite of mine. Delicious beans, well seasoned skirt steak, and guacamole. YUM! On my second visit I got the aguachiles and it's now a dish I will also crave. Great shrimp texture, lime-y, and just overall delicious! I would enjoy some fresh pieces of jalapeño in there for a little heat but that's just my personal preference. Whatever you do, GET THE PIXIE TANGERINE FLAN! OMG! That was life changing! Service was wonderful! Such sweet employees and attentive even though it's a counter order and self seat dining experience.

    Steak taco and black beans and plantains
    Bethany R.

    We love corazon and I literally gasped out loud when I saw they had expanded and had one in the little town of carpinteria that we were vacationing in. The food is so so good, fresh and delicious flavors and fast(ish) service because you order at the counter but they are popular so waits can be long. My only disappointment was they didn't have their full menu, I love their queso tacos and they didn't have any on the menu. I went with the steak taco, guacamole and chips and plantains and black beans. The chips and guacamole is really good but they don't give you enough chips just a heads up. And the steak taco was delicious. Black beans and plantains was good, tasted fresher at the public house location in my opinion. We will be back!

    Ensenada Taco, Fried Sweet Plantains Tuna Tosada, and Sweet Potato Taco.

    What a fabulous new addition to Carpinteria! The Linden Square is new and absolutely beautiful, but the food at Corazon Cocina Sur really is the best part in my opinion. It is counter service, and I found it to be very quick. The menu is not huge, but it was so hard to decide what to order because everything sounded so good! We finally decided on the Tuna Tosada (tons of yellowfin tuna, spicy and delicious), Ensenada Taco (beerbattered lincod, also spicy but balanced with a yummy lime mayo crema), Sweet Potato Taco (big chunks of sweet potato, super flavorful) and Fried Sweet Plantains (with crema, queso fresco). The plantains were probably the best I have ever had. The plates were so colorful and satisfying. All the ingredients seemed very fresh. I was impressed with all of it. I would love to try their Passionfruit Margarita next time. I definitely recommend checking out Linden Square and Corazon Cocina Sur.

    La Baja Tostada-Fresh tuna, tempura shrimp, citrus, and crunch in every bite.

    The energy here was great! Staff were upbeat and attentive and that energy came through in the food. And it was on a Friday! We sat at the bar which made for a fun date night spot while the rest of the room buzzed with families and friends sharing plates. La Baja Tostada was a YUM. Fresh tuna cubes with a bite of tempura shrimp, ponzu, guac sauce, and salsa. All on a tostada that stayed crisp to the last bite. I called it the Mexican poke. Absolutely delish! Norteno taco hit the spot. Juicy steak, guac, beans, and cheese wrapped in a handmade tortilla. Watching them press tortillas in the open kitchen sealed the deal. Must order again! Plantains were caramelized with crisp edges and beans were hearty and simple. Great spot, great staff, and will be back!

    Chips and guacamole appetizer
    Marco R.

    It's part of the Linden Square food court. The set up is an open air patio surrounded by different eateries. I can't tell you about any of the others because we came here solely and specifically for Corazón. We stated with the freshly made guacamole that was topped with pepitas. The avocados were the sole focus. They didn't overwhelm it with onions and tomatoes to mask the lack of the avocado. The kids aren't big seafood fans so they ordered a Cali burrito and a bean and cheese. They both were happy with their food. The beans were "Peruvian" beans and were whole beans not refried, which is what we personally prefer. That was a bonus. The star of the show was the seafood. I'm not normally a seafood fan, but my wife is so we went here specifically for her. Let me tell you though if I had more seafood places like this I'd become a fan. I've always heard about how the best seafood is not supposed to taste fishy. This was my first ever experience with seafood that fresh. I ordered a fish taco because fried fish normally is a safe bet. I was intrigued by the yellow fin tuna tostada and my instinct was correct. I've never had a fish so fresh ever. It completely changed how I feel about fish. I'm now intrigued to try more seafood spots but I'm afraid they probably won't live up to my experience here. The front of the house was very friendly but as mentioned before this a food court and so each location will take your order, give you your food, and that will be most of your interaction. Don't expect anyone to come around and check in on you. There is no wait staff. Unless you're sitting at the bar getting drinks don't expect "service" and knowing that going in should quell those expectations. If you're ever near Carpinteria make it a point to visit this place.

    Taco Al Pastor
    Tim J.

    Just wow! While visiting with my wife, we stopped by Linden Square for a quick snack at Corazon Cocina Sur. We each had a taco Al Pastor and were not disappointed. One of the best I've ever had. Juicy and flavorful and just the right amount of heat, all in an incredible tortilla. Well done!

    Steak taco, Chicken Mole Taco
    Bettina K.

    Had a paloma ...it was good, ordered two tacos, one chicken mole, one asada steak...weird thing was they put rice or beans INSIDE the tacos. Kinda weird. I had ordered a side of rice n beans unaware of this quirk... Also the frijoles de la olla were really bland and pasty. I think if you want rice or beans with your tacos, put them in a side cup and dice in some jalapenos ...don't over stir them.

    Comfy area ti eat, drink & chill.
    Corinne P.

    I had a delicious tuna tostada and a delightful margarita. Customers were over the moon happy, Corazon Cocina is 100% Freshness and flavor!

    Fresh & clean outdoor seating!

    See all

    Wow! Outstanding food and fresh seafood. We love their ceviche, tuna tostadas and the gringa quesadillas. We've been several times.
