"Corazon means “heart” in Spanish, which is something this beloved LoDo longtimer has plenty of: There’s a homemade (as opposed to housemade) quality to everything it serves — from addictive beef-and-bean dip to crispy chiles rellenos in thick, rust-colored Colorado-style green chile to pork chops smothered in ranchero sauce. Even more charming are the prices, which seem like throwbacks to the pre-pandemic era: Most entrees are under $16, and margaritas don’t crack the $9 mark." - Ruth Tobias, Eater Staff

"Splitting the difference between Tex-Mex (fajitas, chimichangas) and Colo-Mex (thick green chile, burrito-like “Mexican hamburgers”), this Larimer Street joint is as busy as it is beloved for big portions, hard-to-beat prices, and the premium it puts on pure comfort, from the frozen margaritas onward." - Ruth Tobias, Eater Staff

A place with a lot of love, liveliness and tasty food. Amazing experience with this place If you want to try the best Mexican food in downtown, come to this place. This place is loud and could feel the Mexican flavor in both ambiance and taste. There will be little wait time if you are planning to go during peak hours. Located at Blake's street near 16 the street. I would rate this place as one of the top 10 in Denver restaurants. Prices are affordable and located near major downtown offices. In the menu they do have some numbering for the recommended food. Just blindly try those items.

My friend introduced me to this place last night and my only issue is that I have been so deprived of an amazing restaurant. The carnitas!! Not greasy- just juicy and tender, ready to be rolled up into their lovely tortillas. Great, standard issue Margarita, just tart enough to cut into the richness of your last bite of taco. I have been converted.

Their food is really good! Salsa is made from scratch and not using canned tomato paste like in other local Mexican restaurants. Their combo plates are very good and the price is right. I think this is pretty much the best Mexican restaurant downtown Denver. Get there early for lunch like at 11:30 am because there is always a line outside, the pace is not very big and they have a lot of customers.

So bummed. Have had this pizza in the past and loved it. This time I pad over $30 for a crust. Paid extra for sausage, 4 of the pieces had a little sausage. Scarce sauce, sporadic cheese and 4 basil leaves. Won’t be ordering from them again

Honestly, it's the best Mexican restaurant I've been to. My carnitas chimichango had so much flavor. We also loved the deep fried ice cream! Prices are affordable and service was very fast.

My family and I visited on our trip from Chicago. My parents couldn’t stop raving about how even the beans were seasoned properly. My dad is very picky when it comes to Mexican because if it’s not authentic it’s not worth it. He didn’t care for so called Michelin guide Mexican restaurants in town but he cleaned his plate here and even said “it’s passable” which in our family means it was good if he said that. Great end to our Denver roadtrip and we hope this place stands the test of time until we come back again.

Some of the best food I’ve ever had! The Chile Rellenos are the best in the city, with tons of Chile’s in them! The service was really quick with no wait time as a solo diner since you can dine at the bar. The chips and salsa were defiantly a highlight, a bit spicy but TONS of flavor all throughout the salsa. I ended up getting an Amigos Tequila shot as well; a little pricy at $8 but it is very smooth and a high quality brand for sure. Server was very friendly and fast, in and out in under 30 minutes. With how busy they always are that was very surprising and made me not worry about getting back to work on time. Hopefully this restaurant is able to expand eventually so they can serve even more patrons! 10/10 a must go if you enjoy amazing Mexican food!

I always get a Mexican hamburger when I visit Denver. D'Corazon did not disappoint!!! So good. The green Chile has just the right amount of heat . The top shelf Margarita on the rocks was fantastic too. We definitely recommend!
