SOULFUL STREET FOOD
Inspired by the streets, markets and homes of Mexico, Chef Velazquez has created a menu that showcases the traditional street foods of Mexico City, made with the same amount of love and soul as if your own grandmother had cooked it.
MULTIGENERATIONAL COOKING
Chef Velasquez is thrilled that his mother, Imelda—who has over 40 years of experience making tamales—is bringing her cooking skills to the Corazón Comedor kitchen. You can’t go wrong with her Tamale Puerco en Mole or Tamale de Pollo, but for something a little different, try the Vegetariano, made with butternut squash, poblano pepper and cheese. Some claim that her tamales are some of the best you’ll find outside of Mexico, and we bet you’ll agree.
SLOW-COOKED GOODNESS Besides tamales, Corazón Comedor’s other signature is the guiso, a traditional Mexican braised or stewed dish served with homemade tortillas. Whether opting for one of the chicken, beef, market veggie or seafood versions, the delicious flavors of these homey guisados are sure to transport you to an abuela’s kitchen in Mexico.
WASH IT DOWN WELL
While the mouthwatering food and relaxed ambiance of the restaurant may draw you in, you won’t be doing yourself any favors if you overlook the drink menu. Margaritas, imported wine and beer from Mexico, and Agua Frescas are all wonderful choices, but we recommend trying one of the specialty hot drinks to conclude your meal, such as the warming Oaxacan Chocolate or the Champurrado—a delightful blend of chocolate, corn and cinnamon.
