Both, David Allen, and, Eating on Garey, reviewed Corazon Urban Kitchen. If you read those two reviews, you know the history of Corazon.  A quick recap; Corazon opened in downtown Pomona and closed within a few months due to a dispute with their landlord.  They opened up near the Pomona Valley Hospital.  I decided to give them a try, after a friend said we should go to lunch.  So, in a very raining day, we headed over to Corazon.

Parking is terrible, as mentioned in the two reviews.  We drove through the alley, just south of the building, and into a neighborhood.  The signs said only four hour parking, and a street sweeping sign, so we parked there.

Chips and salsa, very good, came out quickly after we were seated.  They had lunch specials and we got there during their taco specials!. 

Sopes lunch special- $7.99, with rice and beans.  They were kind enough to substitute veggies instead of meat.  There were spinach, radishes, red onions, tomatoes, celery, green bell peppers, and cilantro, topped with creama.  This was good, but the sopes were hard and dry, even with all the veggies on top!

Fish taco- $2 during taco special, which is Thursday from 2pm to about 6pm.   They used tilapia and it's fried.  But, this was a dry, bland fish taco.  They either forgot to put the crema and/or salsa.  The fish had a good crunch, the veggies were fresh.

Shrimp taco-$2.50 during taco special.  The shrimp are grilled and had a ton of flavor.  This was very good and much better than the fish taco.

Service is good.

I wasn't blown away with Corazon, but it's offers good portion lunch specials, at a good price.
