Excelente servicio y la misma calidad de Las Koras de Bonfil! Se les acabó mi favorito...Ceviche de Nayarit, pero me regalaron lo poquito que tenían. Muy lindo detalle! Las pescadillas incredible y el chile habanero con limón las hace aun más ricas. Gracias por el buen trato....Yasmin debe estar muy orgullosa! Bienvenidos a la Huayacan!!
I LOVE this place, since moving to the valley I have been to el korita at least 1-2 times a month, I almost always get the fried red snapper with ajillo sauce and it is so so soooo delicious! I have tried the mixed cocktail very good as well and loved the presentation. Today I got the seafood parrilla and also had it last week, this is one of my favorite places in the valley and also being a Mexican chef this place is legit! Desserts are very good as well. I personally didn't care for the cocktails they're not very balanced mojito was not good when I got it, pina colada, margarita, and Micheladas are go
Ford was great. Cooked well great flavor. It's a typical restaurant noisy lots of seats typical decore for Mexican food. Service was great
It's not the atmosphere that's brought me back the last 20yrs. It's the food. This place is kind of a hole in the wall but hits the spot every time.
You know a place is excellent. When you have six people order separate items for dinner, and each each item is amazing. I haven't had guacamole that good since Puerto Vallarta. The meat molcajete was absolutely insanely delicious, sauce was rich and flavorful. Everything was top notch, service was wonderful and very friendly. This is on my short list of restaurants, will be returning!
Best place for delicious seafood/mexican dishes! Always busy so plan ahead! Perfect place for families, friends and any other type of gatherings! I have been going to el Koritas ever since they first opened their restaurant at the building next to Movieland! I'm so happy with their growth in business, friendships and food! I will always continue to eat there. These are the restaurants you want to eat, with local restaurants. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed.
