Respect the hustle.
I read an article about the owner of El Corazón Cafe...
Jesus starts at the weeee hours in the morning to prep/cook for his cafe, runs his cafe all day, then goes to his second job at night as a chef at a resto in Duboce Triangle.
And, it doesn't stop there. He and his wife also own and run a janitorial business.
Team No Sleep deserves mad respect!
So, gotta support that hustle...
Plus, I was eyeing that enmoladas on the menu.
Opening last week is El Corazón Cafe for takeout and dine-in. They're located inside Mission Economic Development Agency's Plaza Adelante neighborhood center. When you enter, head to the back right area and you'll see the El Corazón Cafe's food stall (formerly Café de Olla).

* Watermelon Agua Fresca ($4.50)
Refreshing and naturally sweet with pieces of juicy watermelon. Tastes like summer.
* Enchiladas de Mole: Chicken, queso fresco, onions ($13): https://tinyurl.com/9jcptvuj
The three enchiladas were smothered with mole sauce and topped queso fresco, tomatoes, and red onions. The enchiladas were filled with moist and tender shredded chicken and the corn tortillas was soft and chewy. The mole sauce was well-balanced, flavorful, and nicely spiced. I often find mole sauce run either too bitter or too sweet for me but not the case here.

One man show, Jesus is SO friendly, gracious, and prompt.
Ordered at the counter and he delivered the food to me. Even took the time to check-in to make sure I liked the food.

A community space that's colorful and festive with 10 tables inside. No outdoor seating.

Difficult street parking.
Overall, if you're in The Mission, stop by El Corazón Cafe and support this new local small business. The previous tenant was able to move into their first brick & mortar this year so wishing the same for Jesus! read more
