Our take

Maria Corona: A Mexican Dinner With a Show

Maria Corona is named for the owners' grandmother, born in Mexico City in 1917, and the menu is built on the traditional recipes she passed down. The restaurant is on Calle 16 de Septiembre between Leona Vicario and Morelos, one block from Puerto Paraíso mall, and most tables are in a large open-air courtyard lit with lanterns and torches.

Mole poblano is the dish most reviewers talk about, served with chicken and, according to recent reviewers, with beef tenderloin. Tortilla soup, poblano cream soup, tableside guacamole and Mexican coffee prepared with some showmanship are other regulars on the table. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, and recent reviewers have mentioned mole festivals with several different moles to try.

Evenings come with entertainment: live Mexican music and folkloric dancers perform in the courtyard, and staff will sing for birthdays. From Hacienda Beach Club it is about a 10 to 15 minute walk past Puerto Paraíso and a block inland, or a two-minute taxi. The restaurant opens for dinner, accepts major credit cards and recommends reservations, especially on Saturdays.
