We had the Chile Relleno picadillo and the Chile Relleno with huitlacoche (it’s a corn fungus that is a local delicacy. It tastes better than it sounds.) On a Friday night they had an excellent entertainer singing Mexican ballads. Service was friendly and prompt. The restaurant atmosphere is homey and unpretentious. Great value for the money.

My Mother in Law lives a few blocks away and for 15 years I've been making a right a block before this restaurant.
We went out for a late evening with another couple (2 Doctors) and met them at this restaurant on their recommendation.
I never knew or would have guessed that such a modern great restaurant was right under my nose all these years!!
We sat outside for our late night adventure and ordered drinks which were great.
To eat, we ordered a variety of plates and shared them. Every one was beautifully presented and tasted fantastic. From duck to Grilled vegetables to a salad to a Mushroom dish and one other meat dish (sorry I don't remember)
I've tried duck twice and it's not for me, It was ordered and I said "Oh well, I'll try it again." It was SO good, I will order it again when I go back.
The service was attentive, friendly and quite professional and made the evening quite enjoyable.
If I close my eyes, I would swear that I was in a restaurant in Manhattan!!
Muchas Gracias!!!

Come and enjoy the ambiance and the gastronomy from Colima. We are located at the Provincial garden of the San Jose church in Colima city.

My first visit to Colima and the local host wanted me to try this restaurant first. The food was excellent featuring local cuisine, all the dishes were fresh and tasty. I tried the Palm juice which was a local drink, very interesting flavour. The restaurant was open on one side and with some fans it was still very comfortable, being open added to the ambience.

Wonderful breakfast/brunch restaurant hidden on a back street but easy to find. Great food, wonderfully prepared and presented. Interesting menu. Agreeable waitresses. Good prices. Beautiful surroundings, inside and out. I can't say a single negative about this place. Positives abound. Don't go to Colima without having breakfast or brunch at La Buena Vida. But be aware that it's very popular. I'd get there early.

Corazón Contento is a vintage style Eco-restaurant & Gallery, where we believe cooking is an art and as such, it goes far beyond the simple satisfaction of providing our body the primary nutrients. The type of cuisine that we propose in this new concept, is called "Comfort food"."Comfort food" is a relatively new term, and it aims to provide warmth and contentment to people that eats it. It refers to any food or drink, no matter their geographical origin, that is associated with moments of relaxation and reward. In other words it is "food for the soul"…Therefore, the main purpose of "Comfort Food” , is to give our day a delicious way to feed ourselves in the best mood.We are an Eco restaurant, since we are largely committed and concerned to make Corazón Contento friendly to the environment. We concern to conduct our practice in the best environmental stewardship theory described with the “3 R’s”: recycle, reduce and reuse. We are also a gallery; all our furniture and decoration as well as it help us create that vintage atmosphere we wanted, is on sale.

We only ordered appetizers and salads but they were very delicious. I'll definitely be going again to try a main dish.

Sitting in the hills with an excellent view of the Colima pyramid the restaurant offers a whole range of dishes. We had lunch here twice and all the meals were excellent. On one visit I had the Arrachera steak which was Tender and Tasty.

Reviewed By Tracy B - Colima
We've been for lunch and dinner several times. We always enjoy our food. The burgers are great, the shrimp and fish dishes are delicious and have different flavours than the usual. The starters are very good also. We've found the service to be very friendly and generally prompt. Prices are very appropriate to the quality of food. The only complaint would be that a few times we ordered the "small" sized meal or appetizer and are charged for the "large" sized one. Not a super big deal, but since it has happened a few times now we are sure to be clear and check the bill.

Great food, the meat is excellent. The service was absolutely the best. The decoration is original and not very full, that is a plus when travelling with kids.
