It's early Saturday night and my best girl and I decided to try out a new restaurant here in the city. Actually a friend from work recommended this place, so I figured why not give it a try! It was relatively busy, but not a problem at all finding a table and being greeted by our Server. We weren't yet sure about what we wanted to order for dinner, because they have so many options. Given that we decided in a n easy appetizer- guacamole and nachos. The serving size of the appetizer was pretty generous and more than enough for the two of us. There were many items in the menu that I was unfamiliar with so zi decided to keep it simple. I ordered just three barbeque tacos, and she ordered the chicken tacos. It didn't take long for our entree to be delivered to our table, and soon enough we were enjoying a nice dinner! I really like the ambiance of this establishment, and everyone who we had contact with was super friendly.

Mixed reviews from our table about DC Corazon, but ultimately I'd be happy to come back. The margarita menu alone is enough to keep you there for an evening, and beyond that the appetizers we had were decent. Their signature is tacos, which are all served on what are clearly homemade blue corn tortillas that were perfectly made. I had 3 vegetarian tacos and I'm not totally convinced I got what I ordered, but they were all meatless so I enjoyed them anyways and thought they were wonderfully seasoned and arranged. Others in my party didn't some of their meat options because the taco texture was too runny/liquid-y, but everything was cooked well all the same. The mezcal flan was also a big hit at the table! They do have covered, outdoor seating which is just the right size.

First time experience was beyond amazing! TJ beyond hospitable. The bar wasn’t open but as first time guests he allowed us to sit at the bar and served two FABULOUS drinks! The Mango Mule ( spicy thang) and the Cenote Azul ( simply divine and strong)! The handmade blue corn tortillas were to die for and the churros!!! Oh don’t get me started! This place is a MUST GO!!

The food is great, and the service nice and prompt. Also, I loved the drag brunch here, it was fantastic!!

Best authentic green mole we have tried in USA. Real tamarind pulp in your margarita, many ratatouille moments here for sure! Do not miss the churros

Very bad experience every time we went however we wanted to go back as a last chance yesterday. The service again is terrible as they want to charge for every extra salsa or an extra tortilla which in many places asking for extra tortilla is not charged. Also we were the only ones in the restaurant and they never brought plates to share or even water when we had asked for it several times. Customer compensation capacity is deficient . Lastly when paying there was no paper for receipts and we were made to wait without explanation or apology. Also if You go in happy hour prices are equivalent to the regular menu prices. Don't waste your time.

I been a couple times with my friends there and the food is really good, the atmosphere service and shows are super cool. The food is authentic Mexican I feel like I'm in Mexico ?? you guys have to try it.

Art benefits from restrictions and requirements. There is nothing more stultifying to an artist than an empty canvas. The restrictions that make mexican (restaurant) food a truly great art form is that it is a cuisine of fillings and wrappers. Vehicles and passengers. It's a food that you can do media theory on. It's a combinatorial science.Also, my wife says the mushroom tacos are good.

The staff is amazing and like wise is the food! Will definitely come back!

Nos encantó el delicioso sabor de la exquisita comida
