Food snobbery is a bore. Unknown prices, as in how much is that scoop of guacamole? that glass of Mexican wine? you'll find out when waiter brings the bill and waits impatiently because you ask to see the arithmetic. He hovers while you determine tip, watching. But the food came...and some was great, and some wasn't hot enough and got returned. I gave the leftovers to a homeless man nearby. I know I won't go back. I was disappointed, a hundred bucks later for two. This was the one not in Public Market but on Victoria. Can't seem to change it.

The best Al Pastor taco i've ever had...super cute and clean space in the public market... Loved it and great guacamole. Truly excellent... my compliments to all the staff, the kitchen crew and the team at the register...

First: buy all the tacos. Each is a different taste. Each is a unique experience. And each is worth buying.Second: this review is after two months of eating here. And it remains the same. The tacos are delicious. The ceviche was HUGE and I overestimated my appetite. Finished it all like a champ but the food was somehow light enough to consume it all without feeling like death.Service is what you’d expect out of a food market and the atmosphere is as good or bad as you like. It’s really how you feel about food markets. Either way, delicious.

This is my favorite place in the public market. It is also a very popular option as this place is always busy but this is a great thing. I loved my Mercado Quesadilla it was delicious. I loved the oaxaca cheese and it had plenty of cheese but everything paired perfectly with it from the vegetables to the rábanos. It also had a spicy flavor to it which was perfect because it was a very good balance. Your order is out pretty quickly because they have plenty of staff working in the kitchen. There is also pots of seating available. You can also place an online order if you want to skip the line!

I think it's quite good. Interesting salsas. Nice and complex spicing. Not typical. The line can be formidable.

Hands down best brunch spot! Everything was delicious. Definitely recommend the churro late and churro French toast.

Rey (server) was great, we went for breakfast for the first time, food and service were a 10 out 10. We actually went back the next day for dinner. Highly recommend.

First time we were there Service was great for lunch went for dinner, and the service was not very good Had to keep asking for chips even the how was Bill. The food was good.
I've eaten Mexican food all over the country, and Latin American food outside the country. I'm not being hyperbolic when I say Corazon Cocina is my absolute favorite. Not only is the food incredibly inspired, complex and delicious, but it's always consistent. I've probably eaten at Corazon Cocina over a hundred times and I've never had any deviation in quality. Everything is always top notch.

The food here is so freakin amazing. Absolutely everything is over the top delicious every time. Recently had the mole taco, sweet plantains and guacamole- heaven!

This place is incredible albeit a bit pricey but so is everything in the downtown area. Some of the best seafood tacos I’ve had. Also had a shrimp burrito the next day which was killer. Nothing felt greasy and heavy. Salad and ceviche portions were big enough to share amongst 3-4 people and were also awesome.

This restaurant often has a long line of folks waiting to place orders. Waiting in line to place your order and then waiting a few more minutes to pick up your food at the counter is worth it. Why the wait? Simply because great food is worth the wait! It's Mexican food with a unique ingredient flair to the menu items, such as a few potatoes in the burritos, or jicama in the salad. We had a great experience.

The Public Market is lucky to have Corazon Cocina under its roof. The care and attention to detail that goes into the creation of each ingredient is second to none. The result is excellent, authentic and delicious food that is sure to please even the most particular of palates. The birria and pork al pastor were both tender and layered with flavor, which made for tacos worthy of acclaim.
