El Coronado: Experience Authentic American-Mexican Flavors in Tucson

What a delightful restaurant and the food is deliciously amazing. Our waitress Chloe was so impressive with her attentiveness and amazing personality. We are regular customers and haven’t had a bad meal. Highly recommend this restaurant. 5 stars all around.

The service was amazing but the food left a lot to be desired and did not taste like authentic Mexican food. Most of the flavor came from jalapeños so if you don’t like spicy you won’t even be able to eat the pico. Gave it 4 stars because of the service.

Hands down best chimichangas I’ve EVER HAD! In my life!!! The enchiladas and chips and salsa are fantastic as well! Every time we come to Tucson my family and I eat here. I love this place

The only complaint I have is that the enchilada s is very salty and doesn’t have that robust, authentic enchilada sauce flavor. The rest of the food is great, and the staff are always super friendly. I’ve been here many times and will keep going back.

Been dining here and at the previous location on Nexus and Valencia for 20+ years. Also dined 30 years ago in Safford. Best Mexican (New Mexican) food ever!!! We eat here so often that we almost feel like part of the family which speaks to the excellent friendly atmosphere.

I’ve been meaning to come here since they opened. Finally made it with a buddy for lunch today. Service… five star. Atmosphere, great. The food was the best Mexican I’ve had in Tucson. Try the chimichanga combo plate. You won’t go away hungry. As Ah Nold said….Ahll be back!

Food was good, I've had much better. Tacos were small, I had one ground beef and one shredded beef. Both meats were very good. Comes with beans and rice. Portions could of been bigger for price. I was still hungry when I left. Could of easily ate another taco and usually I'm stuffed with two when you get beans and rice. Rice was softer than most. Friend had the cheese enchiladas with beans and rice. He thought it was good, but portions could of been larger. Both were $14.99 on the lunch special which is probably the norm anymore. It has a lovely Mexican atmosphere. Great place to take visitors when they come to town.

This was our first time trying El Coronado. It was nice that we could sit outside with our dogs, our server came out pretty quickly and brought us a bowl for water for them. It was be nice if the had fans outside in the summer. The service was good. The mango margarita was okay. The food, I would have to agree with other reviews. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great. My shrimp taco was sweet, which caught me off guard. The ground beef taco wasn’t greasy at all which was nice, but was very salty. The chips were stale. The red chili looked off….like a thick red enchilada sauce. The prices were a little steep as well, especially for the quality. Again, not bad food, just not sure we would go out of our way to go back.
