Corazón Comedor

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!

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.

High end Mexican restaurant. Very good. They open up early so that’s the reason we chose this place. So glad we did. They start you off with a small plate of chips dipped in mole and beans. With the chips comes an array of salsas, some I’ve never tried before. Very unique. The food looked like a masterpiece. It was so tasteful. We chose this place because it advertised pozole. Just a note that they don’t serve pozole until lunch. Highly recommend!

The chilaquiles with the green sauce and the mole were both exquisite :) Very attentive staff, knew to check with us about vegetarian refried beans.

I am so glad I found this place! The service was so friendly! The food was amazing. You can taste the fresh ingredients. It felt like I was eating a meal in Mexico! The variety of salsas, the chips with frijoles and mole.... all of it was amazing! Will definitely be back whenever we make a trip back to SB.

Excellente! Wonderful food with a great ambiance. The flavors and freshness of the ingredients shows . We had guacamole, corazon salad and tamales (chicken and pork). Every bite was great and I barely had time to get a photo before it was gone.

Chef Ramon Velazquez has done it again. This time with some comfort food like Imelda's (his mom) pozole. We were able to get a table during Fiesta weekend and enjoyed guacamole, queso fundido, tamales, sangria, margaritas, creative salsas, mole, and finished with a divine brioche churro french toast. It was good the weather was nice, because we needed to take a walk afterward. We will definitely be back.

When I think of a Mexican restaurant, this is the first place that comes to mind. The flavors are authentic and clean. That the core is simple, yet colorful. The vibe is just right with some of the best Mexican artists playing Over the speakers. I first visited about a year ago on a Saturday evening and it wasn't too busy. I came again last night Sunday evening and was surprised at how busy it was. I didn't realize you need a reservation now. Due to their popularity, it's great to see how much they've gained in clientele. The only disappointment was the portion size of the 4 guisos (see pictures). What used to be a shareable portion back in 2023 is now almost a single serving portion. However, this doesn't take away from enjoying a good meal, so it doesn't affect my rating.

Corazón Comedor isn't just a restaurant, it's a love letter to Mexico City's markets, street food, and home kitchens, all wrapped in the warmth of a family gathering. Tucked into Santa Barbara, this gem feels more like being invited into a friend's home than dining out. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a genuine warmth that sets the tone for the experience. Chef Ramon Velazquez has created a menu that's not only inspired but deeply personal, pulling heavily from his family's recipes. The result is a soulful, authentic celebration of Mexican cuisine, executed with care. The vibe here is an extension of that warmth. Walls adorned with art from local creators and pieces collected from travels across Mexico make the space feel vibrant and lived-in. And before you even order, you're treated to a spread of chips with a bean and mole dip, accompanied by four salsas, thoughtful touch that's all too rare these days. The ceviche is bright, fresh, and citrusy, a hallmark of any Corazón establishment. But it's the enchiladas with mole sauce that truly steal the show: rich, deep, and utterly comforting, they're the kind of dish that feels like a hug on a cool central coastal day. Then there's the tamale, a perfectly crafted plate of comfort, served with classic rice and beans that somehow elevate the familiar into something extraordinary. Don't miss the Imelda posole, a heartwarming, soulful bowl that's a direct nod to their family recipe that chef Ramon honors. It's the kind of bowl that feels layered with love, each spoonful carrying a bit of history. Finish with the flan, which strikes that ideal balance of richness and sweetness. By the end of the meal, it's impossible not to feel cared for--not just by the food but by the staff, who treat every table like family. A special shoutout to Xochitl and Ray!!! Corazón Comedor is a must-visit when in Santa Barbara, a place where hospitality and tradition come together to create something truly special.

Corazon Comedor is another great restaurant chef Ramon has blessed us with. Nevermind the fact that he won the Michelin Bib Gourmand award! All the more reason to come here. If you're looking for a restaurant that is spacious, inviting and family friendly; then come here. They also offer takeout and online ordering. It tends to be busier on the weekends, so just be aware of that. On my recent visit, I tried the pozole. It was perfectly made and full of delicious flavors. Also served with all the toppings that go along with this comforting soup. I love pozole and this one did not disappoint! The small size was more than enough and I even had leftovers to take home. I also ordered the Mercadito de Champinones aka fried mushroom quesadilla. It was cheesy good. Also, The guac was fresh and perfectly seasoned. Well worth the splurge! My son tried the enchiladas todos santos; which is stuffed with poached shrimp, cheese and topped with a creamy poblano sauce. He thoroughly enjoyed. I've also tried their special of the day. A chile relleno Birria burrito, which was mind blowing delicious! I hope they bring this back. Overall, anything chef Ramon creates is going to be successful. I've been a long time supporter since the pop-up days and I will continue to support whenever I can.

EVERYTHING was AMAZZZZING!! The food had amazing flavor! The variety of salsas from spicy to mild was great! Service, was attentive without feeling rushed. The music playing in the background took me down memory lane; with memories of my dad. Xóchitl had amazing recommendations as a 1st timer/ out of towner! The cafe de olla; delicious!! The best I've EVER had!! Regreso pronto!!! :)

I wish I could give Corazon Comedor a better review but I just can't. I was part of a group of 10 for a bachelorette weekend and the server seemed annoyed with us from the get go. Our entrees also took a very long time to arrive. I was starving and basically inhaled my tacos which we're good, but not the best I've had. But, the cocktails were excellent and the ambiance and decor very cool. This would be a good spot for date night, just wouldn't recommend for a big group based on our experience.

All of their food is amazing! The service is wonderful. The ambience is very home-like. We ALWAYS making a stop (or 3) when we drive down from Northern California. Definitely try their French toast, chilaquiles, milanese, and coffee!

Service seemed a little slow. Maybe because the following. They picked up all our plates after the appetizer and then we had to hold our silverware unless we wanted to put it directly on the table until our food came out - over 10 mins. And we had to ask for more water as well. Overall the food was pretty average. It was fun to get the free chips and 4 different sauces to try. The large soup was really big. But overall, the food was not too special for the price. Make reservations in advance.

I ordered the large pozole (or what they consider large) through an online order, and it was a major disappointment. For $27, I expected a hearty, filling meal, but the portion was shockingly small, about a cup of meat and hominy with two cups of broth. The meat was tough, and they only included one tostada on the side. The taste was average at best, and the price-to-quantity ratio is simply not worth it. I left the meal still hungry and can confidently say I won't be returning to this restaurant.

If you want to level up your Mexican food craving then this is the place to be. High quality and home inspired recipes. This is the place to check out! Our server Ray was outstanding! He suggested the dishes we had for dinner! Thank you Ray!

Excellent family owned home made with fresh ingredients Mexican food. No heat lamps or pre made warm uppers here, just tasty gourmet Mexican cuisine at a very fair price. Must try!

Went Saturday and came back Sunday. Very delicious food. Saturday's service was great. Ordered the Cafe de Olla and received it in a large round coffee cup. Now get to Sunday, ordered the Cafe de Olla and got it in a small cup. I think the waitress was being lazy and felt like ripping us off. On Sunday service was terrible. The staff was on their cell phones on register and barely came to our table. Water was empty and never refilled. It's sad to think staff gave me a different perspective from Previous day. Tips are based by service so it showed. But most importantly affects everyone and business

This modern Mexican restaurant features "Home Inspired Mexican Cuisine," and when you walk in to their comfy dining spaces you are greeted by their friendly staff, and a neon sign saying "Hechos con Amor." Along with the delicious aromas and the cozy dining area, you can tell that Head Chef/Owner Ramon Velasquez and his staff have put a lot of love into Corazon Comedor. After reviewing their Breakfast Menu on-line, I knew it going to be a tough decision as what to eat first. Our server Madel took very good care of us, and was helpful in describing the assorted dishes. She started us off with some savory Totopos (chips, mole, frijoles de rancho, queso fresco) and an assortment of delicious salsas. Then we dove in to the Matahambre (bistek con papas, chilaquiles verdes, fried eggs, frijoles de rancho, crema, queso fresco, y cilantro) and the Machaca (shredded short rib, eggs with salsa bandera, chilaquiles al gusto, y frijoles de rancho). Very excited to go back to try their Mexican Sandwiches, Quesadillas, Platos Fuertes, y Tacos. So much more to enjoy. Located on Victoria Street between State and Anacapa, and right in-between Wise Guys Barber shop and Ca'Dario.

Dropped in for dinner on Saturday night! Made reservations to be sure to get in as space is limited at this restaurant. There are bar seats at the kitchen if tables are not open. The restaurant also has a separate room for parties. The environment is pretty causal. As for the food, the taste was spot on from beginning to end. We choose the guacamole for our appetizer . The guacamole was market price. First for me to see guacamole at market price. Guacamole was fresh but nothing special. We would skip next time. We then had chicken mole enchiladas and tamales. The tamale entree consist of two tamales. They had three different types on the menu. I got the chicken and pork tamales. The tamales were very moist. The sauce was very good on them as well. The enchiladas with mole was also good. For sides we got beans and cabbage salad. Cabbage salad was very good. As a complimentary gesture the restaurant provides chips with mole and beans prior to dinner. For drinks we got margaritas. We order the traditional and hibiscus margarita. Both were good and real in taste. No fake mix here! We really enjoyed our meal and will be back another time.'

Tried the tacos Corazon and was pleasantly satisfied. Great flavor profiles and portion sizes weren't too heavy

Came here for breakfast before visiting the art museum and they didn't disappoint. The food here was phenomenal! I'm not big fan of mole but oh my their mole is delicious! The chips and hot sauces made this whole meal. Plenty of street parking. Service was good when I went. This spot is a gem.

I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a very long time now. For some reason, all this time, the menu wasn't clear to me. The prices per entree and the serving size as seen on the photos didn't really match. Regardless, I decided to step in and order takeout. I'm so glad I did. I asked one of the workers for a few of the most popular mains, and they gave me three really good options. I opted for the chicken milanesa. The food was ready in a decent time, about 15 minutes. Before I left the restaurant with my bag, I asked for some salsa, and they graciously provided that. When I got home and opened the container, I was very impressed. The presentation was beautiful and coloforul. The food smelled great and looked appetizing. The chicken was very good and breaded perfectly. The pickled toppings really cut through any grease of the chicken, and it mixed well together. The salsas also paired well with this meal. Every bite of this meal was happiness. There was only a tiny piece that was still pink inside but I set that aside and continued on my journey of flavors. I have already recommended this restart to my friends. The only drawback is the price of the meal being a bit steep for chicken milanesa. Steak milanesa, maybe. The food is prepared deliciously with incredible flavor and color, so it's hard to deny the value.

Wow! Just WOW! Another hit restaurant brought to you by the Corazon chain. We tried this on a busy Saturday night. We couldn't get reservations to fit our timeframe but we were able to join their waitlist online before arrival which made sure we got a table for 3 with a very short wait time. The food was delicious! We wanted to share a few things so we got the guacamole, flautas de pollo, and 'Pa Probar with 4 guisados. The guacamole was good but we enjoyed the totopos with beans, mole, and queso much better. Great salsa options too. The beans, I honestly could eat an entire bowl of them. I would go back just for them. They're incredible! The flautas were delicious. And for the guisados, we chose the rajas, carne desherbada, bistek con papas, and pollo con poblano. The rajas and 2 beef options were standouts. We wouldn't get the pollo con poblano again and instead try a different option. It was good but not as memorable as the other 3. Did I mention they come with handmade tortillas? So so good! And in lieu of dessert, we grabbed a cafe de olla and Oaxacan mocha to go. Both were great. The location is small but very cute and nice decorations. Staff was great! Very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is easily accessible with nearby parking on the street or a structure (75min free parking!). Please do yourself a favor and go try this great new addition.

Visited Corazón Comedor during Santa Barbara Independent's Burrito Week . They had a breakfast burrito it was delicious. I was blown away by the friendly service, attention to detail, and presentation. I can't wait to go back and try more items from their menu. The restaurant is located downtown towards the Arlington , quiet location and walking distance from many hotels or parking . The restaurant itself has modern decor and California /Mexican cuisine but at the same time it feels like a home in Latin America. I love it

Hostess went above and beyond to find us a table when the entire restaurant was booked by reservation. That's love. The taste was authentic Mexican and very flavorful. Excellent variety of salsas. Service was amicable and prompt. It's evident the staff goes above and beyond on the details of their food and flavors. Ambienace was relaxing, upbeat and complimentary to state st. Bill came out to about 100$ for four dishes. I brought my two toddlers and they were welcomed and properly attended to. The restroom was clean. I would recommend this business to family and friends. And will surely plan to return I recommend you make reservations.

Wow. I love having international breakfasts. Today I deviated from my norm and had a Mexican breakfast and I feel so lucky to have had my first experience at Corazon Comedor. You can tell they care for the quality of ingredients, because while everything was "simple" the depth of flavors was present. The guacamole was delicious and fresh, and the breakfast tacos where so satiating. Their chips had the perfect saltiness and their molé made me so content. It reminded me how much I enjoyed it and I'm sure I'll be craving it through out the week. Their salsas are all memorable, and the Chilesquiles (I'm not sure I'm spelling that right) was something I've never tried before but was so happy I did. You can tell by the quality and friendliness of service, the attention to detail in the sitting areas, and how amazing the food tasted that this restaurant is a marvel. Something I always pay attention to is the tableware. It was beautiful, the food was amazing and served in art as well Finally! A touch I appreciated is their extensive coffee menu and the quality of their drip coffee. It is an easy thing to disregard but when you put effort into it, it goes such a long way. Whenever I'm back in Santa Barbra I'll be sure to enjoy their delicious coffee and immaculate breakfast again.

My husband and I were very excited to try this place and unfortunately it was a disappointment. We waited over an hour for our order. We understand that situations happen but we were not notified or acknowledged to why it took over an hour.

Tables are close together and every time a server walked by our table, they had to squeeze between tables and were kicking my friend's chair. She was pretty annoyed at this. Really slow service. Our drink order (1 beer, 1 mojito) took at least 10 minutes to get. The food took about 45 minutes. We had a 5:30 reservation, and at 6:30, we still didn't have our food. Otherwise, the service was dismal. We had to flag down the waiter for everything. They give you a tiny complimentary bowl of chips (with about 6 chips) that have a tiny bit of mole sauce on top, along with a tiny sample of 5 salsas. I used my knife to spread the mole and salsa on my chips. When we were done, they took our little plates, which meant having to put our utensils, of which my knife was now dirty, on the table. yuck. I was so hungry, I asked for more chips. When the bill came, there was a $2.50 charge for the chips. And no, they came without any more salsa. The ceviche is the worst I've ever had...ever. Really small portion, and it had sliced carrots on top, which I thought was very odd. The chunks of white fish were not only tasteless, but they were just super mushy. Just awful. I sent it back and told them to take it off my bill. We also ordered the Enchiladas del Mecado, which were just ok. Weird that they were shaped like two flat sections of a quesadilla, and not like an enchilada at all. Smothered in some kind of bright green sauce that had absolutely no flavor. Since we'd sent back the inedible ceviche, we shared the Enchiladas del Mecado. So that was 1 small piece each. I paid for the one mojito and for the enchiladas. With tax and tip, came to almost $50. ugh. And yes, I tipped. Even though the service sucked, the restaurant was busy and the poor guy was working his ass off. Never again. Too many other really good Mexican restaurants to chose from.

Cucina Corazon is probably my favorite restaurant in all of Santa Barbara. So I had to try of course their new restaurant down the street. It delivered everything I was hoping the flavors of everything was amazing. We started with some sopacitos and queso fundido. They also gave some complementary chips with Molé on it and a complement of awesome salsas. I had the combination for tacos and tried four different meats, which were amazing. My favorite was probably the chicken Molay followed by the shrimp. My buddy got the tamales and said they were awesome too. So happy they opened up this restaurant. It is absolutely solid, and a great addition to Santa Barbara.

I believe I may have been subject to racial profiling at this establishment. My family and I, who are Mexican American, entered the establishment and found no one else waiting. Despite this, we were not greeted with a simple hello. Instead, the young lady paused for 5 seconds with a stare, before asking if we had a reservation. She then informed us of an hour and a half wait, even though there was no one else in line. We provided our information for a text when our table was ready, but unfortunately, we did not receive any notification. Thankfully, we were able to find Carlitos Café Cantina, a fantastic Mexican restaurant nearby that provided excellent customer service and fresh organic food. I understand that the majority of the area may be Caucasian, but it is important to recognize and embrace our diverse American society. The treatment we received speaks volumes about the establishment and the owner. Let us strive to do better and create a more inclusive environment for all individuals. Thank you.

Came here with some friends while visiting Santa Barbara and we were all so glad we did. My wife and mother in law are Mexican so I know real homemade Mexican food. Due to this most places are usually just ok. This place however is amazing. Everything from the staff to the food surpasses expectations. You can taste the freshness and quality ingredients in everything. This is some of the best Mexican food we have had. Highly recommend and we will be back whenever in town.

(Overall: 82% | B) - Overall, I found the food to bit a bit on the pricey side with room for improvement, but there is a high bar of service and a comfy atmosphere which makes the restaurant quite pleasant to dine in. (Chicharron: 70% | C) - Given the name, I expected some crispy pork rinds to elevate the texture of this dish. Unfortunately, it seemed like everything was soft, making me question if I even received the correct dish. Despite this question, I found the flavors to be nice and work together, and the onions add nice color and contrast to the rest of the taco. (Polla Con Poblano En Crema: 80% | B) - This is a classic pairing of chicken, rice, and guac. The chicken was tender and the guac added some contrastive acidity. However, for $5.50 a taco, I felt like the dish is missing some sort of elevated wow factor, especially along the textural dimension.

Everything from the Ambiance & Great Reviews. Customer Service A1, the owner coming & checking in @ end. The Amazing Recommendation to come for the food the experience left me wanting to come back 10/10

Went here for an early dinner on Saturday! We made a reservation for 4:30pm which is when the restaurant opens .. by the time we got "any attention from anyone " it was 5 PM .. that part was a bit frustrating.. but once we placed our orders and had something to drink our moods shifted and let me tell you ... the Food is simply amazing!!! Starting with the complimentary chips and 4 types of salsa ( so good) .. we had the "flautas Santuario" for starter .. and next time I will order a double order and have them for dinner ..they are just "that good" !!! My husband had the 4 tacos and he said each one was flavorful and simply delicious!! I had the Milanese and it too was just amazing !! Ray ( our waiter ) was very kind and took time to explain the menu to us . Please do yourself a favor and eat here !!

We came on a late Saturday afternoon and were seated immediately. We ordered the Flautas de papa, Tamales de Mama (chicken verde and pork mole), a chicken Milanese torta, and a horchata. The food is made with love, care, and attention and delicious. The horchata was refreshing with a subtle balance of almond flavor. The house special appetizer is a bowl of freshly fried tortilla chips topped with mole, refried beans, and queso fresco; it's such a tasty treat! The salsa flight ranges from mild to habanero: when combined with the food, all the salsas are tolerable, but alone pack a lot of flavor and spice. The kitchen is semi-opened, depending on where you sit. The high ceilings and decor open the space, and is paired with ample seating.

Located in downtown Santa Barbara on Victoria St & Anacapa St. If you're lucky, you can find 75 minute parking right in front. What an adorable Hispanic owned & operated restaurant. Pretty cozy & felt like I was in an Authentic Mexican restaurant with all the fun decor & Spanish music playing. As soon as you enter, most likely there is a line. There are some menus just to your right as you walk in. For Breakfast/Brunch, You order food & drinks at the counter, pay, & seat yourself... We totally didn't do that Bec it was our 1st time here. We grabbed some menus & picked a table to sit at, while we gawked at the menu.. A couple gals went up to us & mentioned that we are supposed order at the front. We let them know we were still deciding on what to order. We were offered water in the meantime... After ordering at the counter, they give you a number & you take it to your table. Remember that's for Breakfast Brunch... *Reserve Online for Dinner Reservations, if you plan to dine-in for dinner. We waited a bit for our chips & salsa. One of the waitresses asked us if we got ours yet, she quickly brought it out & explained the different salsas & to be careful with the Habanero one. Loved the cute salsa sampler & those chips with the mole & frijoles were soo addicting. I did like the Habanero salsa. You have to try all four of the salsas! I didn't want to eat too much chips Bec I ordered Chilaquiles. I got the Chilaquiles Divorciado. Which basically has both the red sauce & green sauce. I don't remember them asking me how I wanted my eggs while I was ordering. I do like my eggs runny. I'm not usually super picky about my eggs, but I felt like the eggs could have been cooked a bit more. I did like my plate, the beans were yummy, it's just that my chips became super soggy from the generous red sauce & made the texture a bit too soft for my liking... If I came back I would try it again, maybe try it with the mole next time & I'll definitely ask for some over easy eggs lol... My friend devoured her Berries French Toast. It did look good! Overall, we had great service, especially for a Saturday morning. As we were leaving, the line was forming. I'd come back again if I'm in downtown SB... Oh & FYI they take reservations for dinner only.

Delicious place for tacos, salads. I got a refreshing quinoa and watermelon salad with radishes which was really great! The dressing was a bit too sweet though. Since it's located at the public market it's not a fancy sit down place but they have public tables indoor and outdoor. Next time I will order their tacos to see how they are. Worth visiting!

Stumbled across Corazón Comedor when looking for a breakfast spot and it did not disappoint. This is one of the best breakfast burritos I have ever had! The service was great with very kind staff. I can't wait to return!!

Found a great Mexican restaurant in Corazon Comedor!!! The other night some friends and I went for dinner and everything tasted amazing and authentic. We started off by getting a side order of guacamole to share. It was some of the freshest and flavorful tasting guacamole I had ever had! I definitely recommend the Cochinita Pibil taco! The slow cooked pork is moist and full of flavor! I also would go back for the tamales. Another specialty of the restaurant. The Puerco en Mole de Olla was amazing as well. Overall, the restaurant is a perfect place to get homemade tasting Mexican food with a friendly staff who will make sure everything is perfect!

A great addition to the Corazon restaurant family. This location had only been opened for a month, so we were glad to be in town. Their reputation had people waiting in a long lines, but it moved quickly. The place was packed, but they were well organized and we got a table immediately. Although you order your food at the counter, it operates more like a full-service sit-down restaurant with teamwork table service. They offer a free totopo appetizer that includes chips, beans and mole sauce. It was delicious and we paid for a second order it was so good as well as their fresh guacamole and chips. We also ordered several of their cocktails, which were also tasty. For dinner we got a bunch of items to share. They're famous for their tacos so we ordered two of the 4 taco plates. You get to choose any 4 tacos so we picked 8 different ones to get a bite of each. Additionally, we ordered the mole enchiladas and a pork tamale. Everything was delicious and we look forward to eating here again on our next Santa Barbara trip.

This was our second visit, and it is still going strong. We live a few blocks away, so we're happy to have such a wonderful place to walk to. The menu is totally different than Corazon Cucina at Public Market, but...similar are the fresh ingredients and the visual appeal of each dish. I find the menu a little difficult to completely understand. That said, everything is great so I don't study it too hard and just order. We ended the meal with Champurrado, Mexican hot chocolate. It was amazing and I would go back just for that! Apparently, in a couple weeks, they will be adding Saturday and Sunday breakfast/brunch. The crew working here are all very nice and welcoming and professional. Nice attention to details.

Came here with my wife and bestfriends and were impressed by how delicious the food was! I ordered the chilaquiles verdes and it was one of the best chilaquiles I have ever had. The portion of the beans could have been better as it was probably two spoonfuls of beans. I also tried green chicken tamales and corn pancakes and were soooo good!! Never thought corn pancakes would be a good combo but wow, immaculate! The waiter could have had better energy since he didn't smile at all or didn't give us a warm welcome.

Our favorite place in Santa Barbara to get fast, but delicious food! It's great to dine in or take out.

Waited 40 minutes for a bland and mediocre breakfast burrito. Mostly egg, a sprinkle of tinga and 1 big chunk of potato. Don't recommend.

Cool vibe, food is good! But damn they need to really work on their customer service I've been there 3 times and each time they get more rude. The male busters are are always nice but the ladies haven't had an attitude every time we've gone. Will most likely not give this place another shot even though the food is good their attitudes ruin it

The dinner was very good at Carazon Comedor. The server was wonderful and very helpful. Everything we ate had delicious flavors form the chips en mole, Guacamole, and our meals. I had the tamales and my husband had the roasted pork tacos. And if dinner was yummy enough, the dulce de leche flan was the best flan I've ever had - soooo good!! Highly recommend!

Absolutely recommend! The food was very delicious, service was solid and the ambiance was lively. We went on a Tuesday with no reservation and they were able to fit us in at the bar with no hesitation. They were a bit slow to get the drinks out but it was a full house. Everything we ate was tasty and we plan to go back and hopefully give them 5 stars. If you are craving authentic Mexican food give Corazón Comedor a try!

The service here is very good. The homemade salsas are spectacular. I really like the plantains with crema here. There is table service here so no need to wait in line to order your food. It does take a while to get your food since they are making everything once it is ordered. Nothing is premade here. The ambiance here is spectacular.

Review based off of dinner: We came and were told it was a 10 minute wait. Not too bad for a Sunday night! When we arrived the place was booming! There was so many people and definitely such a different vibe than we had experienced the day before at breakfast. Everyone was in a rush, in a bad mood, not friendly, and just plain stressed. We were seated and our server took 10-15 mins to greet us. He was attending his other two tables that we sat literally right in between. The least he could have said was "Hi guys! I will be right with you." NOPE. Anyways thats not the worst part. He finally comes and greets us. He asks "Have you guys been here before?" Excitedly we said "Yes!" He said "alright so what will you be getting?" His tone and demeanor was quite off putting. We ordered our drinks per usual. An Horchata, that was super drying, and quite honestly the worst one i have ever had and an agua de pina con pepino. That was so good and refreshing. Going back to the ordering of the drinks: our server said "Oh so you havent been here before." So condescending, yes bro we have, but if you had asked a more specific question, I would have been more specific with my response. Resulting in no "confusion" for you. He proceeded to say : "Well here, at dinner, we do it all together. From drinks all the way to the dessert you will be having. This is so you have no interruptions throughout your meal." Im sorry so im supposed to know NOW if i want dessert and what kind i want too? He was very condescending and had a really rude tone. He generously gave us 10 more minutes. Cool. After those 10 mins went by my boyfriend took care of the ordering. We ordered and he started to be nicer. He continued to keep asking us if we wanted more drinks, and to be honest kept bothering and hovering over us. If the whole point of not being interrupted during dinner than why were we interrupted mid bite, mid laugh attack, mid dinner? I love good service. I love when our servers interact with us but our server made us feel like we were not welcome. It was an extremely hostile environment. We ordered: Guac: green heaven! beautifully seasoned. Yes, youre looking at it right. It appears to not have any tomatoes or onion, or cilantro or chiles... but it was damn good. Tampiqueña: Steak was extremely squishy... not well seasoned. Tasted like cheap meat. Potato flauta: SO GOOD. But i wish it was more crunchy. Mole enchilada: ahhh so good! tacos de rajas: wow! so good and extremely well made. My boyfriend absolutely devoured it. Tres leches pastel: So soggy. like soggy. Im talking about it felt like it was more milk than cake But oddly enough the cake itself was extremely dry. Dont even ask how thats possible, but they sure did achieve that texture. i love a good tres leches cake, but this was so disappointing. The cake itself was so mushy yet dry that it was crumbling away. Overall: I dont even want to come back here for dinner because of this one experience. Having a good server means everything. They set the tone for dinner. I wish I wouldve gotten the guys name, but sadly we didnt.

Came here for brunch and the food was spot on amazing!!Came here several times after with friends and family and even months after we'll still text each reminiscing about the amazing meal we had.

This is an honest review regarding only service because we didn't even get to try their food. We're both Mexican-American and wanted to support a local Mexican restaurant. I'm currently pregnant and was starving when we got there. I was a server for 5 years, so I get it and give restaurants the benefit of the doubt. We arrived morning of 6/23/24, were greeted right away, and sat at the right table in front of the windows (literally in front of the restaurant). There were only two other tables who were finishing up their food, and at least five workers walking around. A party of two showed up, a party of six showed up, and finally another party of two showed up. Mind you, we are still waiting to get greeted by our server. The other parties got their drink order taken and were having their food order taken. Our server walked towards us and then turned around to get the bill from her other table. I distinctly heard another lady say "faltan ellos" which means "they are missing" in regards to our table, our server looked at us and turned around to her other table. We got up to leave, our server walked towards us, noticed we were leaving and said "oh" and then cleaned up our plates and utensils. Not even an apology, just "oh". These servers appeared to be rude (no smiles), unorganized (walking around, going to the wrong table with drinks), and just not a welcoming environment. It's a complete shame. It was our first time in Santa Bárbara and we were celebrating our wedding anniversary and baby moon. Fortunately, they have plenty of other restaurants around the area to try :)

Fantastic experience. Felix was an excellent server. We had the potato flautas, guacamole with chips, the full line up of salsas, the Comedor salad, and several tacos. Loved all of it. Spicy Paloma was delicious. The jamaica was reminiscent of a homemade batch. We were lucky enough to watch a bride and groom greet their family for an afternoon post ceremony brunch. It was without question an experience that will be remembered. Can't wait to be back. P.S. Guac was top tier,. No onions, no tomatoes, no bs,.. just citrus and a few pepitas and cilantro. BEST IN RECENT MEMORIES.

Came here for breakfast a couple of days ago with my husband because we love Mexican breakfast foods. Gotta say everything was perfect and the best version of the thing we've ever had. Started with Horchata and Oaxacan Chocolate with complimentary chips and salsas. The drinks were perfectly spiced and the perfect level of sweetness and temperature. The chips and salsas made us realize that we were truly in for an excellent meal. They sauce them with mole and some beans then give you four salsas to eat with them. First thing we noticed was that the mole was freaking delicious, great consistency, prepared in a way that you could equally enjoy the fruitiness, nuttiness, and chocolateyness of it. Each of the salsas were incredible and a true compliment to their component ingredients. For our meals, I got the Chicken Tamal Doraditos and husband got the breakfast tacos. I don't know what to say except that they were both exceptional and well portioned and we basically spent the entire meal discussing how good they were and what nuances made them that way and how we could never make those dishes as well as they had. Our server was really nice and accommodating to some dietary restrictions, even accounting for things we hadn't thought to ask about and everything was done at a perfect pace. The restaurant itself has a really cool vibe. Clean, open and airy with art all over the walls. The kitchen is open too so you can catch a glimpse of the chefs performing their craft while you wait to be seated. This place is a true representation of what makes Mexican food amazing and we will definitely be back.

Our group went here on the recommendation of another friend and referred to this place as "upscale Mexican" I don't know what was upscale about this place. It was nice and clean, and the food was ok. But definitely not upscale. Our party of 4 had chips with 4 different Salsas; Churro Latte; Tamales de Mamá; Flautas de Pollo; Imelda's Pozole; & the Matahambre. One of our party was late but she ordered immediately after our waitress came to our table to take our order. But then we had to wait nearly an hour for our food. We even had to get up to get another pitcher of water for ourselves. It wasn't even terribly busy even with a group in another room. We gave them a shot, but there are other much better places than here. Pictures will have reviews of the dishes.

The food is very good at this location. However, the menu items are very limited during the happy hour between 2 and 4. The workers are very attentive and helpful.

very delicious food inspired by Mexico city. kind of like Mexican fusion. I would prefer more sauce on my Chilaquiles. But overall it's 5. great service.
