El Corazon - Portland

El Corazon is one of our favorite restaurants in Portland. We love the casual atmosphere and the fact that it is a family-run business. They offer great vegetarian options that are delicious and a refreshing change from the typical Mexican chain restaurants. We love El Corazon!

The food at this restaurant is both authentic and creative. Our group of four, consisting of an omnivore, a flexitarian, a vegetarian, and a vegan, all found dishes that not only met our dietary requirements but were also excellent in taste.

Perfect for dinner and cocktails before a Longfellow show make reservations though, this place gets busy and for good reason!

Love that the lamb adobo is local. The mole poblano sauce is fabulous. We have trouble hearing in noisy restaurants so went early and it was fine.

The overall experience was poor. One waitress working entire restaurant. Food was not good. Slow service. Front door does not stay shut- hence very cold inside. Couldn’t wait to leave.
