The best Mexican breakfast I have had in years!!! The arranchera was tender and every single aspect of the dish served its purpose and delivered a great culinary experience. I also loved the ambiance of Corazon Comedor, the Mexican decor and textiles were truly beautiful and made me feel like I'd been transported to México. I highly recommend!

Visiting Santa Barbara for the day and saw the great review for this restaurant on-line but I was worried it was going to be a tourist trap and we would end up with Mex/American food like the big Mexican chain food restaurants but this place is AUTHENTIC Mexican food. It is the BEST we have had in a long time. It's a cute and authentically decorated. Ray was great at explaining everything to us about the menu and the regions the dishes came from. We went with his recommendations and were not disappointed. The salsa flight was great little addition too. It was such a great experience and was part of the reason we enjoyed our visit to SB . My husband was so impressed and being from Mexico City he is hard to impress but he thought the food was great. So great we came back for dinner at the Corazon Cocina for tacos at the new Market Place down the street. Great tacos. So much fun

An Instagram-worthy brunch spot in downtown Santa Barbara, though I thought the food lacked where the ambience of the restaurant itself impresses. For brunch, I had the matahambre plate with a café de olla. While the coffee was true to itself, the food left much to be desired. I felt the chilaquiles just missed the mark from taking them over-the-top. The meat and potatoes, though, were a perfect compliment and salvaged what remained of the dish. Despite the mixed feelings towards the food, I'd still recommend for anyone looking for great service and picture-worthy food and ambience.

This was my friend's and my first time here. We had heard good things and made a reservation for 6:15 on a rainy Tuesday. The place was full and we were seated promptly. The servers were very friendly and checked on us often. The food was impeccable and I highly recommend. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming.

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.

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.
