If you're looking for a great Mexican restaurant in the OC, add Corazón to your list. Recently renovated with additional eating area and outdoor patio, Corazón has excellent options from start to finish. Their cocktails are made with agave wine, which is the first time I've ever had this spirit. It has the subtle flavor of tequila without the bite. The cocktails we tried were tamarind winearita, passion fruit mule, el mango winearita, and cucumber elderflower winearita. All very unique flavors and perfect libations.The starters we tried were the salmon tartare, flautas de pollo, queso fundido, guacamole, ahi aguachile, and Mexican Caesar salad. Each dish was perfected constructed with a blend of delicious flavors. The entrees included the El Romero tacos - beer-battered tempura shrimp tacos on a blue corn tortilla, barbacoa, chef's sizzling fajitas, and seabass tempura chile relleno. The tacos were excellent and the tortilla had such a vibrant color, the fajitas were a combination of shrimp, chicken and carne asada, the barbacoa was so tender and juicy, and the seabass chile relleno was unique as I've never had a dish like that. All their entrees were stars! And yes, you'll want to save room for dessert. You can opt for a single dessert or try a dessert flight. I'm a big fan of Abuelita chocolate and I had their Abuelita tiramisu (wow) and the tres leches. They were great and not heavy at all with the right amount of sweetness.Excellent service! Sunny assisted us throughout our entire meal. She was very attentive, friendly and helpful as she provided suggestions on what to order. More...

I celebrated my birthday here for their taco Tuesday, $2 tacos and they are delicious! Drinks were tasty and the service was outstanding. Our server Chris was nice enough to provide us with a sparkling candle for my birthday cake, provided by Hapa Cupcakes! You can park behind the restaurant or across the street at the parking structure. I will be back! More...

Simple decoration but figured the focus was on the food. Unfortunately the four us found it uneventful. My husband's sea bass in a Chile, never tasted the the sea bass and I ordered Chicken that was tough. . Both our sauces were the same. Very sweet and uncomplimentary. We wish we addressed the issue, but really.... Too much to address! Service was unprofessional as well. More...

Parking: located near a parking structure, had two lots in the rear but are also used for valet parkingPrice range: $$1/2Service: Excellent! Staff was knowledgeable and very attentiveMy friends and I tried this place on a whim. For a Monday night, the place seemed pretty empty, but I actually appreciated that. The server gave great recommendations for the food and even explained a deal they were having on a pitcher of sangria. The seabass Chile relleno, ceviche, fajitas, and enchiladas were all great. You don't get super large portions, but that's okay. The interior was pretty cute, and I appreciated that the tables were pretty far apart, so I didn't have to talk over other people. I would 100% go back to this place and try more things on the menu. More...

Best bottomless brunch in Brea!!! My parents came into town and this was the first and only place that came to mind. The food is fantastic and the service is amazing! We went for the second time right after they had remodeled and it really is such a pretty place. We definitely want to come here for brunch again soon. Also the mimosas are great! A lot of restaurants premix their mimosas and they're so weak but they're perfect here. Did I mention the food was fantastic? 10/10! More...

Service was great, food was great, drinks were great. Was a little pricey, but I think it's fine for a date night. Chicken flautas were so delicious. My boyfriend got the barbacoa and I got the enchiladas trio. My favorite of the 3 was definitely the shrimp enchilada in the lighter, creamy sauce. The hibiscus mole was interesting but I think I prefer my mole without any acidity. I got one of the wine-a-ritas which they make with agave wine and it was so good!! Boyfriend got their blonde beer which was also really good. We bought 6 beers to take home too. I can't remember our server's name (sorry, I'm horrible with names) but he was so inviting and super nice! We'll definitely be going back More...

The space was cute and I had a nice server. The food and drinks were not good. Had the aguachile but it tasted bland. I don't typically like my food too salty but there was no flavor. The salsa tasted like terrible marinara. The drinks are made out of agave wine instead of liquor, which I get because liquor licenses can be expensive. I think they would be better off just not serving any alcohol. It was cloyingly sweet. Fajitas were alright but the chicken was sort of dry and meat was overdone. The service was good, but would not eat here again. More...

Some of the dishes are hit or miss, for an upscale Mexican restaurant at upscale prices not really acceptable. Many of the dishes were so under seasoned as many of the Yelpers mentioned, we agree! Appetizers: guacamole was no salt, no lime and an overwhelming amount of red onions it made my eyes water - I could not eat $14 bucks. Ceviche was fresh fish and shrimp, but again no salt, ok. Salmon tartare and Ahi Aguachiles, again fresh fish but lacked flavor and everyone said was under seasoned. We ordered the fajitas with carne asada was good, Mahi Mahi Veracruz was good, sea bass tempura chile relleno was ok. Husband and I had the El Tamal, ugh was a epicurean let down. The sweet tamale brick was dense, chicken on top and the sauce tasted like tomatillo and mayonnaise- blah, I couldn't eat it! Their black beans were good/smoky chipotle flavor. Service was great and attentive but she could see we didn't like the majority of dishes when everyone at our table refused a togo container, I do not recommend. More...

I really wanted to like this place, I live in Fullerton and wanted to try something new. I thought I was going to a mexican restaurant and was looking forward to having a margarita but turned out that they only served Wine-arita which was far too sweet and made of wine with no real tequila, we were sat near the kitchen and greeted by the waitress who was not very friendly. I asked for a champagne since there were no margaritas and the waitress very rudely said, we don't have that. I then asked for a diet coke, no free refills but was charged 15 bucks for 3 diet cokes. The food was very bland, and they do not have anything a la cart. For the prices, I expected more. How can you have a Mexican restaurant and not serve Margaritas or Carne asada? My husband and I won't be returning. More...

I was lucky enough to visit this resturaunt a couple weeks ago. Overall my experience was amazing. The staff was courteous and very attentive. The venue seemed well staffed and we never had to wait. I went on a saturday night. The decor was upscale, it was still good quality for a date night. The biggest complaint I had would be the bathrooms. They were clean but they reminded me of a fast food resturaunt. They weren't nice. The food was the best i've had in a while though OMG. I ordered the rib eye steak. It was one of the juiciest and most flavorful steaks that I can remember in recent memory. It was more delicious than much more expensive steaks that i've had at other resturaunts. My pictures don't do the food justice. I go to irvine spectrum a lot, none of those resturaunts have food like Corazon. The food was by far the most impressive part of the evening. I can't talk it up enough. Parking is free across the street in a parking structure! More...

Delicious food. Clean and pretty inside space. We ordered the tamal and the seafood enchiladas. The el tamal was really tasty. Had a lot of corn sweetness. The enchiladas were healthy tasting and delicious. The only thing that was a little off was that our server was pushy with having us order appetizers and drinks. We came for lunch and didn't want to overeat, or to drink really so we had to say no a few times. Eventually we gave in and got the guacamole which was also delicious but we ended up packing it to-go because we really didn't want or need it. Other than that. Great experience. Will be back.

Lively music and a very cool vibe when you walk in. The restaurant used to be a movie theater that's been converted to a restaurant so it's got very high ceilings and an industrial feel. Our food server, Chris, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. It was helpful that we came in during happy hour so the drinks and appetizers were 1/2 price. My two friends and I had guacamole and the tostaditos de ceviche to start -- both fresh and tasty. Our main courses were the rib eye tacos, fabuloso tenderloin and the trio of enchiladas. I know my table partners raved about their meals and I was very impressed with the enchiladas -- cheese, shrimp and mole. Each one more delicious than the last one. So good.We drove from Long Beach to Brea to experience Corazon and will definitely return. North OC should do themselves a favor and visit this restaurant. Guarantee you'll come back! More...

I had high hopes for this restaurant based on some reviews I read but came out highly disappointed with the service and the food. I ordered the shrimp enchiladas and it was heavily covered in a sour creme sauce which was overwhelming. The entire dish tasted like sour cream. I couldn't even taste the shrimp. We ordered guacamole and it literally came w/ 8 chips. Friend had a food allergy and asked for a couple of simple modifications and the waiter replied that the chef does not accompany modifications to the menu and he would ask if it could be done. They ended up putting everything for that dish on the side, which made it odd. Lastly, they don't do complementary desserts for Birthdays, which I thought was unfortunate. Rice & beans came out to us in side dishes and were COLD! We mentioned it to the servers and he didn't seem to care. Service lacked friendliness and attentiveness. I had to get up from my chair twice to find someone that would give us water and to ask about dessert. I won't be coming back and now I honestly question those reviews I read. It was not the best dining experience. Maybe it was an off night. Honestly, based on what I experienced this evening, I'm shocked they're still in business. I never write reviews, but I felt compelled to do so because I had such high hopes! More...

This place was... a letdown.Definitely not worth the price or the hype of the yelp top 100. I feel straight up misled by that by the top 100 list sending me here. The service was T E R R I B L E. The food was decent, but not great. Edible, but everything needed salt.For appetizers we had the guacamole and the queso fundido as well as some caeser salad. Guac: 3/5 - it was fine, needed salt.Queso Fundido: 1/5 This was not what you'd expect. It was mostly corn and some chorizo with a light layer of cheese on top.. good but not what we thought?caeser salad was pretty nice, though. Entrees.. Barbacoa - 4/5 maybe the best thing we had the whole night. This was good. Chicken Crema 2/5 - this was sweet and weird. With some salt it was fine, but certainly not great as a recommendationFajitas - 3/5 good, but lacking seasoning. Shrimp Tacos - 1/5 fine, tortillas were undercooked and chewy. Shrimp was lacking flavor. Overall, the food did not impress. I cannot over emphasize how A W F U L the service was.The restaurant was not busy, and every element of our service was incredibly slow. There were multiple staff members on the floor aside from our waiter, so it's not possible he was overworked handling too many tables. Multiple times we asked our server to bring us things.. salt, tortillas, more chips, limes, refills.. multiple times he did not bring us what we asked for and we had to ask again, and even the second time it was 50/50 as to whether he brought it. I will not be returning to this place, sadly, I really wanted to like it. I don't know what's changed but it was a massive letdown. More...

The recommended drinks and food options were on point and I am surprised they actually had reservations available since we booked them the night before. I would make a recommendation that they close the door on a chili night since it is a smaller establishment and the breeze fills the room fairly quickly. I am not trying to wear my coat after I spent hours getting ready lol. Good thing I had my lover by my side to keep me warm lol .
