I'm obsessed with this place! It's tucked away in the middle of a shopping center on Fremont and Mary and the food is always amazing in terms of taste and looks and Is always plentiful. I eat here about 3 times a week and I'm slowly trying all the different types of meat. I love the tender shredded chicken and the Asada is OMG juicy chunks of flavorful steak! Not at all like the tough overcooked and thin meat scraps you get at other taquerias. The pork Pibil is similar to the shredded chicken in texture and wonderfully flavored as well. I got the Tortilla soup on a rainy day and it hit the spot. Making me look forward to more rainy days! The inside is decorated so cheerfully and my favorite is the little piñata planters on each table! So adorable! I ordered some delivery for my parents tonight and they were blown away by their chile Rellano and enchiladas Suizas. They absolutely loved the chips and freshly made guac too! Two more satisfied long term customers! I love that they always start my Horchata the second I walk in. It's creamy and delicious a never has that gritty texture at the bottom. Yum! So glad I was introduced to this place. It's definitely on the top of my list when I'm in the mood for Mexican food. Oh and if you like spicy ask for the orange sauce! The nice man warned me and it definitely has a kick, but if you can hang with the heat the flavor is superb!!! read more

Corazon Mexican Food - Best rainy day treat! velvety tortilla soup. ‍‍‍ - Mexican Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I'm a little confused on the ratings because my husband and I didn't have a great experience. Ordered 3 street tacos - two grilled chicken & one carne asada - and the Shrimp Diablo plate, as well as a side of beans w/cheese. We ordered chips and salsa, but when we got home it wasn't in the bag. The tacos were just okay, the grilled chicken were decent but the carne asada weren't worth it. The carne asada meat was too big and full of fat and tendon. The diablo shrimp were so hot my husband had to rinse off the sauce to continue eating them. Their rice and beans were decent, but nothing special to report. I wouldn't return. There are far too many locations in the greater San Jose area that have much better food for less. read more

Been here several times to grab lunch while visiting family. The food has always been on point, salsas spicy, and the staff always friendly and courteous. But today I stopped in to pick up a pre-Super Bowl meal. I decided to go with something different than my usual order and tried their mole poblano. I was blown away. The chicken was tender and just fell apart. The sauce was rich, complex in flavor, and had the perfect amount of heat. Better than any mole I've had at home in SF. It truly tasted like a home-cooked meal. This will certainly not be the last time I order this. read more

7 years later, I still love this place. Just found out that they make their own chips?? Even if not, they are thin, crisp, not oily and not over salted. Salsa's are tasty with a tiny bit of heat. Goto dishes: Street Tacos, carnitas and the Chicken Enchilada Mole. Eduardo is the best! The whole crew is friendly! read more

My experience was not your average occasion. I was looking for a place to cater some churros for a taco party and luckily I found that Corazon had a variety of churro flavors to choose from! I ordered online on their website for pickup on a Wednesday evening. We ordered the chocolate, strawberry, and bavarian cream churros. Each order came with 4 pieces. The churros weren't the typical ones I am familiar with, where from my experience there are usually served with dipping sauces, but I actually liked the filling, which made for a less messy dessert. They were quite tasty and very FRESH and CRUNCHY. Our favorites were the bavarian cream and chocolate flavors. Unfortunately, we found that a few of the bavarian cream churros did not have any filling in them. It looks like they may have forgotten to fill a few of them, but even without filling, they tasted pretty good. I think I would be open to checking out their full menu on a different occasion. There is plenty of seating available and the decor makes you feel like you are at the right place! read more

The reviews for this place were good, so we gave it a try. It's a nice place to sit down for dinner, but we came close to closing and grabbed food to go. I'm not sure if it was the time we showed up, but the quality of meat (Carne Asada) was subpar - you can't mess up Carne Asada! Unfortunately, there were fatty/chewy to non edible pieces of meat. The rice and beans in the burrito tasted OK but also seemed like filler. The proportions of meat, rice, beans were off. You may see in my photo - Limited pieces of meat on the left side of the burrito and the rest was filled with rice and beans. It was a super burrito but the crema seemed non-existent as it was soaked up in the rice/beans. If it wasn't for some of their salsa verde to pour onto the burrito, it would have been really dry. It seems long were the days where chips automatically came with your meal. Although there are still some establishments that continue to give a small bag of complimentary tortilla chips. So, we asked. Given it was near closing and the chips may go to waste, it felt like a missed opportunity to offer a small gesture of hospitality. Something simple like that can make a big difference in how guests feel welcomed. Unfortunately, there wasn't alot of meat to begin with but on top of that, some pieces were not even edible. Hence the low rating. read more

Sleepy little resturant that was definitely a surprise. Their menu is full of surprises. As you walk in the decor was homie and full of Mexican flare. The staff was amazing very helpful answering all our menu questions. We ordered several items to try out the menu. We started with the chips and salsas. The salsa were all flavorful, the chips were crispy but lacked taste. You have to ask for the habanero salsa, not typically handed out. We moved on to the main dishes. The 3 tacos platter allowed us to try multiple meat options, including Chicken Oaxaca, Carnitas, and Pork Pibil. Our favorite was the flavorful Chicken Oaxaca, then Carnitas, and lastely the Pork Pibil (Not much taste on this one). The tortillas were grilled with a nice char. The rice and beans were all good and had nice taste and texture. The tamal rojo was done prefectly and had a good taste. The enchilada was just okay, wouldn't order that again. Finally, the chili Relleno was super cheesy and my father really enjoyed that dish. Overall, the food was amazing but could've have been a bit warmer from the kitchen. We will be back! read more

This was our first and unfortunately our last visit. From the moment we walked in, there was no greeting, no welcome, and no offer of assistance. When I had questions, the responses felt rushed and like we were inconveniencing them. The food looked great, but that's where the good news ended -- it was cold and tasted as if it had been reheated instead of freshly made. As a Hispanic customer, I hoped to feel a sense of warmth and hospitality, but instead it seemed like other guests received better attention and service. Customer service should be equal for everyone, and sadly that wasn't our experience here. We won't be returning. read more

My gauge for a good Mexican restaurant is their salsas. The ones here didn't skimp on their chilli usage and I was a happy customer. Yelp check in gets a free basket of chips with two salsas. We tried- **Chicken tacos-4/5-delicious chicken and toppings but the amount of fat visible between the two tacos was insane. **Mole poblano-4/5- I was excited for this one as the description on the menu was very enticing. 30 ingredients in a made from scratch complex sauce with chocolate and dry and roasted chillies. The versions I tried before were always sweet and I am not particularly fond of sweetness in my savory dishes. Unfortunately the version here was sweet as well but the mole was a lot smoother and more palatable than other places. **Quesadilla-4/5-kids got this and reported it was decent. **Burrito-3/5- average burrito, missed some heat. Salsas came to rescue here. Ambiance is colorful. The complex is not crowded and hence we were able to enjoy our meal outdoors. read more

Yelp check-in = Complimentary chips and salsa, $1.75 value, even for my to-go order. Quality/Quantity - Got the following tacos today: Chicken Oaxaca - She told me that this will have a kick, but I did not taste any heat at all. Carnitas - My favorite of the three and this had the most flavors. Grill Chicken - This had the least amount of flavor, but probably the healthiest. All three tacos have the same sauce and toppings. Overall, I felt they had a good simple menu. See the two pictures. They have specials also. See pictures or website. Atmosphere - Decent size restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Bright and nice decor. Table or counter table seating. I believe they offer counter-service. I ordered to-go at the counter. Self-service water. Plenty of mall parking. Open 7 days a week 11am to 8:30pm or midnight. Service - Okay, counter service. Price - $3.50 for each of the tacos I ordered, totalling $11.46. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success for 5+ years. read more

Wow they're open till midnight Thursday -Sunday! I was looking for a place to get a burrito late at night and this place came up. I've had enchiladas, tamales and tacos here before. Everything is really tasty. Today I got the al pastor burrito and added pico de gallo and lettuce. The portion is great for the price and I liked that they grill the burrito. My husband was happy with his wet burrito. You can choose from mild red sauce or spicy green sauce. Service was great and friendly as always. I usually do take out but they have plenty of seating inside and outside if you want to dine in. This will have to be my new dinner place when I get out of work late. read more

Very delicious Mexican food, friendly staff and big portions. Pulled chicken and beef were tasty. We will come back.

This little Mexican restaurant is hidden in a sleepy shopping center at the corner of Mary & Fremont. It's in the same shopping center as Smart & Final and Starbucks. Easy parking, it's always plentiful. I've been coming here for years even though it's a bit of a drive when there are closer options. The lady at the counter is always friendly and nice. There are several tables inside, a mix of high and low tables. Restrooms are in the back. I'm always surprised how empty they are, even around noon on a Friday. You won't have any trouble getting a table. I've only stopped by for lunch, so maybe they get more crowded in the evenings. Their Super Burrito is my usual go to. They have all the usual stuff you'll find at a taqueria : tacos, burritos, enchiladas. They also have other specialties such as Chicken Mole, Pork Pibil, Pork Pipian, Oaxaca, Chile En Nogada, Carne Asada. And some seafood dishes such as Pescados a La Veracruzana, Camarones a la Veracruzana, Camarones Chipotle, and Camarones a la Diabla. Kids menu available, too! read more

The vegan options here are very bad. I ordered a veggie burrito and it had mixed vegetables in it, which was off putting. The meat options are better but still pretty basic. We got the wet burrito with grilled chicken. Also tried their nachos, they were decent but used shredded cheese, I definitely prefer the classic yellow nacho cheese, but that's a personal preference. There's not a ton of good Mexican food in this area so I really wanted to like this place but it was just okay. Service is great and the ambiance is super cute. I just wish the food matched. read more

Long story as short as I can: ordered 2 tacos, 1 kids quesadilla meal and 1 super burrito for pick up. Checked in at 6:26pm on Saturday night. Several dine in guests that arrived after me were served. Asked about a bag that was sitting on the counter for a while and was told it was mine, but was missing an item. Watched my bag like a hawk for another item and waited another 20 minutes. Asked another worker and he handed me the same bag and said it was complete. It look 1 hr to get my order that was supposed to be ready when I arrived. Received: soggy cold pork over disintegrated tortillas, cold dry chunks of steak on stale tortillas, a quesadilla containing cold cheese and dry shredded pork, a room temp mixture of toppings and meat in a soggy tortillas and terrible customer service. I normally come here and would rate it 3.5-4, but tonight, a 0. They could've turned off uber orders (& other services) so that they could serve food of integrity with good customer service, but they didn't and blamed the "new worker" that just started. (The girl who ran the front of house for a solid 45 minutes by herself- cashier, serving tables, fielding togo patrons, packing to go orders, bussing tables and answering phones.) read more

Food. SALTY Service. Fair Ambiance. Dark inside, no lighting. 46.44 2 people I ordered a Grilled Chicken Quesadilla, was charged for a Grande Quessdilla. Other order was a Shredded Chicken Taco Salad and it was very small in size for $12.00 Chips and guacamole, for 10.00. Chips were cold and I will say, stale. Guacamole was Salty. Overall,not a good experience. Sorry Corozan. read more

We recently tried Corazon and have decided it is now one of my favorite places for Mexican food in the area. I tried the taco bowl with shrimp and it had just the freshest ingredients and the shrimp was cooked so flavorful. I love how it just wasn't drowning in oil. But also, it is deng huuuuge. You can probably feed 2-3 people with that taco bowl. It also definitely tasted healthier than some other Mexican food spots I've been to. My husband loved his carne asada burrito. Even said it was probably the best he's had. My daughter, who can be picky sometimes, loved her quesadilla and even the Spanish rice. We loved their little outdoor patio in the front too and the staff were so friendly. It was very cute and well-kept. We couldn't believe we haven't tried this place earlier, but so glad we've discovered it now!! read more

Our party ordered the following 1. Guacamole and chips 2. Chicken Oaxaca 3. Cochnita Pibil (pork braised in banana leaves) 4. Pork Pipian (pork stew,pumpkin seeds) Prices were reasonable and the food was flavorable - not too salty or too spicy. Glad to have come & tried this place out. read more

Heart From Scratch Unassuming local family-run eatery that's been in operation since 2019 and features a bevy of Mexican eats. We had a hankering for some Mexican food after a long hike at nearby Rancho San Antonio, and this was the closest spot with decent reviews. The Good: *Parking is plentiful at this shopping center *Dog-friendly outdoor seating *Large menu that features authentic Mexican food such as cochinita pibil, as well as more Americanized dishes, like nachos. *Very reasonable pricing *Interior décor is very festive and fun *Fast-casual order and pay at the counter, and they'll bring the food out to you. *Nice selection of beers in the can and bottle, as well as a solid lineup of Jarritos® drinks. *Speaking of the cochinita pibil, it was a solid rendition with fork tender sweet and spicy pork with an ample serving of pickled onions. The concomitant rice and beans didn't lend much in the way of flavor but were both cooked well. *Taco salads were huge and a good value for only $12 The Meh: *As mentioned above, the rice and beans could use a upping in the flavor department, and their tortillas are not housemade. The Ugly: *Chips and salsa were not complimentary ($1.75), but were free with Yelp check-in. Which is whatever, but this was easily one of the saddest chips and salsa I've ever had; two thimbles of salsa and a handful of those really thin, flavorless tortilla chips that have an odd texture. Yeah, you know the one. TLDR: Solid Mexican food that would satisfy your craving but not necessarily worth going out of your way for. read more

Was looking for a quick bite and ended up coming here based on yelp reviews. And it delivered on both on food and quick service. The food was at our table in literally 2 minutes. I ordered a taco salad, a pork pibil taco and a side of al pastor quesadilla. Taco salad ingredients were really fresh, portion size of generous and Spanish rice was super tasty. The pibil with the red onions on the taco went really well. The quesadilla had loads of cheese and meat! So filling! I would highly recommend this place for the vibes, food and quick service read more

This review is a long time coming. I will admit I'm being a bit more generous here as this is a newer restaurant (for this plaza), and I really hope they stick around. I would say Corazon is probably between a four and a five, but as I said, I'm being a bit more generous with them. We've only gotten take out from Corazon and have enjoyed our meal every time. Yes, we have incredible taco trucks in the area, but for a full restaurant format, it's great here. * It's a wonderful local business * It is clean and spacious inside - lots of room to eat inside, some nice outdoor seating, and plenty of space for ordering / picking up takeout * We've had their catering, it held up well in the park over the summer * Their ingredients seem to be fairly high quality * They don't seem to skimp on their meats and "good" ingredients Yes, this isn't the best / cheapest Mexican food I've ever had, but please go here to support a local business. I'd really like to see them make it in this spot. read more

Food is ok hot sauce isn't hot at all I didnt feel a welcoming vibe when I came in.wouldnt come back....

This review is for the new management at Corazon in 2024. My family has ordered takeout from Corazon at least twice a month for the past four years. The last few times we've ordered, the food quality has gone down, the online menu options have decreased, and the recipes are just different. This goes for all the dishes we and our kids order. I called and spoke to a staff member in Spanish who told me she could neither confirm nor deny whether the restaurant was under new management. Which means yes. She did say they had a new chef. That explains things in our food that weren't there before, or vice versa. Thumbs down all the way. We will need to find a new go-to authentic Mexican place. read more

I cant remember if this was the same Mexican place, but Dad remember I liked it last time, so he brought me again. Dad had no idea what he want so I suggest Burrito ( burrito is $ 10, but $ 14 if you get with Guacamole, Sour Cream, Pico ( Tomato) & something else I cant remember. But if you get $ 10 burrito it is Rice, Bean, Meat ( I recommend Pork or Beef but I think Beef is $ 1 more) The Chicken Oxca is good too but not sure if it is choice of meat ( Menu take time to look at) I think it comes with Cheese too on $ 10 or $ 14 dollar one. Chicken Oxca taco very good last time. The Taco are 4.50 each but if you get Beef or Steak is either $ 1 more or $ 2 more. They also have various stew type dish ( I want to try next time) about $ 19 dollars ( seem to be good but I need to try it). I ordered Carne Asada burrito with Guac, Sour Cream, Tomato & Onion ( Pico) for Dad ( $ 15) and for me the Green sauce Pork for $ 10. I did not try Dad's burrito until after he ate half...the Carne Asada was Ok but burrito need more Onion? or LIme? I seem to remember the Chicken Oxcana Taco was better taste last time. The Pork Pibil or Pipan ( I forgot) it was only $ 10 so it was very juicy & had alot of chunks of pork. Juicy Burrito. The only thing was it did not have the Green Sauce. Maybe next time I will order the $ 19 dollar meal ( with Beans/Rice) in order to get Green Sauce ( pork was very very good juicy but need sauce), Next time try 19 dollar meal & get sauce instead of only spending $ 10 dollar on Burrito. Im not sure Dad liked his Carne Asada Burrito, he said he should have got the $ 19 dollar platter too. Im not sure what was wrong with Burrito, maybe need Onion or just need lime or more flavour. Even tho it had alot of meat the Beef did not seem flavour full but i only had one bite of Dad's burrito ( maybe bad day). Their menu is complicated so it take time to look at ( if you are coming for first time, take 10 minutes to look at menu). Im not sure how much drinks are. The guy in the front was very nice, but I told him we were not ready so we took 5 or 6 minutes to order. I should have tipped him because he was nice & patient ( Dad tip 18% normally or 10% 15% for ToGo) but i wanted to make sure the burritos were good before tipping. The only complaint I have ( I am picky) is that I like my Rice to be very very soft. Maybe other people like rice with texture but I am not happy unless the Rice is very soft ( there is only one place that serves Rice I like and that is on Saratoga Ave, Mexican grocery store but no place to sit at that place but they serve the soft rice). I liked the Carnitas & Chicken Oxaca Taco from last time tho so I do recommend the Chicken Oxaca. I think it was closer to 5 star food last time but this time, the food ( even tho plenty of meat) just lack flavour. The Pork was very very good ( almost better than the Beef this time) but Pork just need green sauce which might have been missing in the Cheaper burrito. So 5 star last time but this time the food was only 3 or 4 star since it was missing the green sauce. The service was really good. Our problem was we were not ready to order ( menu complicated) until more people came in so cashier guy had to deal with To Go orders, plus us, plus line form behind me, plus he had other side duty. He was busy but very patient with us so i should have tip him. If I see him next time I will be sure to tip for great service ( he was so Nice that I gave 4 star instead of 3star for beef lack taste (maybe Guacamole need Onion or Lime) or maybe Rice need to be soft on Pork Pibil. Or maybe just try 19 platter next time for Green Sauce read more

Vegetarian reviewer- Not a fan, and deducting that one star specially coz they gave us only one sauce while we did a take out of three dishes (to clarify, we didn't check our take out and request for more but we would have expected at least one more as chilli verde is kinda important for Mexican food). So yeah, ask for those sauces! Now to be on point- the food quantity was pretty good but wasn't very flavorful. It didn't taste bad at all but I don't think we are gonna give this place one more shot. Also, parking is not an issue at all and the ambience was pretty decent too. read more

Went to Corazon for the first time for a Sunday lunch. It was very quiet at the strip mall as well as in Corazon. I wasn't so sure for a moment but when I saw the menus then tasted their delicious food, I started telling friends and family about it. Had tacos with Pastor, Chicken Oaxaca, Shredded Beef and Carnitas. And they were each 10/10 delicious. I also had a tortilla soup that was meaty and warming. Then we topped it off with churros filled with Bavarian cream. Yum! On the menu, the tacos are named Street-Style Tacos, but they are more restaurant style. I did want grilled onions and peppers but there weren't. Friendly service. Went back a few days later and tried the Pork Pibil taco. Also yummy. Easy parking. Outdoor seating available. Btw fyi open until midnight Thursday to Sunday. Wow. read more
