EL CORONADO RESTAURANT

Clean atmosphere, great food. The best shredded beef tacos I've had in a while. This place is nested well, plenty of parking. Restaurant was clean all around and the service was great. I enjoyed so much, family and I are back again for breakfast before our return flight to Houston.

Best Mexican food in Tucson. We went here for the first time, one of many to come. It’s a family owned restaurant with the friendliest service. We had the privilege of getting Riley as our server. She was sooo awesome, friendly, and accommodating!! We definitely want her as our server next time!
The chips and salsa were awesome! I’ve never seen salsa in a squeeze bottle. It was just so tasty and a great way to use on our chips AND our dinner. We even bought some to take home!
Our meal was served promptly, and so delicious. We each had chicken enchiladas, rice, and beans. Kudos to the cook!!!
We are looking so forward to returning to this restaurant and telling our friends and family about this place!! Much thanks to the owner, manager, cook, and server. The atmosphere was awesome too, it was quiet, roomy, and very clean.

We went for brunch. Had a craving for a Breakfast Burrito. I prefer local places to chains so I thought I'd give it a shot. The breakfast burrito was just... okay. And if AT&T has exemplified for us, Just OK is not OK.

But seriously service was friendly and quick. Prices were affordable. There were lots of other things on the menu that I think would be more stellar. Mine was a bacon, egg and cheese burrito, my son's a chorizo. His was better than mine.

I think we'll venture again for lunch and dinner , because the menu, like I said, has LOTS of potential.

Details are important. Missing some key things but has all the potential. I felt like going back to the kitchen and begging them to change so they could be successful. The salsa was watery but you can tell it would have been delicious if it had the proper texture. The meat was tender but didnt have enough salt, and some parts of the dish were clearly microwaved (hot plate means microwaved!). The atmosphere, furniture and decor were all a win in my book. The service was above average. One big pitfall was the taste of the water. Seemed like their ice machine has freezer burn or something, because it flavored every drink with some off, unpleasant taste. The server did not seem surprised about this, so my guess is it is brought up often. Prices are reasonable, the place is clean and inviting but people are likely not coming back because of the details. I honestly feel like a few small changes could make this place "the" place to go for Mexican food and drinks in Rita Ranch. Please use the feedback you get here because a lot of people are saying the same things.
