Nestled in the heart of Saint Martinville, El Corazon brings a bold and flavorful twist to traditional Mexican cuisine. The menu is a vibrant showcase of authentic flavors, featuring a mix of classic dishes and creative house specials.
Start with the Queso Fundido, a bubbling skillet of melted cheese blended with chorizo and poblano peppers, perfect for scooping up with warm tortillas. For those who crave a fresh and zesty bite, the Ceviche de Camarón offers marinated shrimp in citrus juices, tossed with tomatoes, onions, and cilantro for a refreshing appetizer.
The taco selection at El Corazon is nothing short of spectacular. The Birria Tacos steal the spotlight, featuring slow-braised beef in a rich adobo sauce, served with a side of consommé for dipping. Equally impressive, the Al Pastor Tacos bring a perfect balance of smoky, sweet, and tangy flavors with marinated pork, pineapple, and a hint of achiote.
For heartier entrées, the Mole Poblano is a standout, featuring tender chicken bathed in a deep, velvety sauce made with Mexican chocolate and a medley of chilies. Seafood lovers will find delight in the Pescado Veracruz, a grilled fillet topped with a savory tomato, olive, and caper sauce that perfectly complements the fish’s natural flavors.
No Mexican menu is complete without fajitas, and El Corazon’s Fajitas Mixtas bring a sizzling combination of shrimp, chicken, and steak to the table, served with grilled peppers, onions, and all the traditional fixings. The Chiles Rellenos deliver a comforting experience, with poblano peppers stuffed with cheese or picadillo, then coated in a delicate egg batter and smothered in a rich tomato sauce.
Pair any dish with one of their handcrafted margaritas or house-made aguas frescas for a full experience. For dessert, the Tres Leches Cake is an absolute must-try, offering a decadent, milk-soaked sponge cake topped with whipped cream and a touch of cinnamon.
El Corazon elevates Mexican cuisine in Saint Martinville, presenting a menu that blends tradition with innovation while staying true to bold, authentic flavors.
