Corazon at Castle Hill

The interior of this restaurant is just beautiful. Cozy, warm colors.. artwork.. you forget that you're just off a busy street in downtown. We started off with butternut squash soup and posole, both $3.95. Sometimes butternut squash soup can be too boring; this one was not. Even the presentation was exciting.
Pictured below are roasted chicken enchiladas suizas. ($14.95) They are drenched in a sauce made from swiss cheese and sour cream, so needless to say they were very rich and delicious. I ended up taking half of this entree home so I could fit in dessert.
This next entree was an interesting experiment, we had never heard anything like it before: potato-corn sope with wild mushrooms in chile verde sauce. ($11.95) Confused? We were too. Confusing or not, this was excellent.
The desserts sounded so delicious and the prices were so reasonable that we broke from the habit of splitting one dessert and ordered two. The first was a Kahlua & cinnamon creme brulee. ($4.95) It was so rich and creamy and full of flavor. It had the creaminess & crunch of regular creme brulee with amazing flavors thrown in for added excitement.
Mmm... a chocolate truffle heart. ($3.25) Not as amazing as the creme brulee, but very enjoyable for a chocolate lover. We savored every last drop of that strawberry sauce.
