Reviews for EL CORONADO RESTAURANT in Tucson, AZ
We went to El Coronado on a Thursday evening, much later then dinner, around 7:30pm. The restaurant was somewhat empty, you... could sit anywhere. The staff was good, not great but got the job done I'm all for hiring young employees but just make surethey don't slack off too much when the boss isn't around... I don't think they were around. The food was good, we love the chipsand salsa. I'd like to go again, around an earlier dinner time and report back. I have a feeling I'll give El Coronado a betterreview then Go try it! Read more
Did not like the food or drink. A simple lemonade tasted aweful. I ordered two stake tacos and it had way too much cabbage and... the steak was too salty. The flower tortilla was old and tasteless. The plate came in Hot but the waitress failed to warn us, Igot burned with the plate. I left most of the food on the plate and vowed never to go back. Chips and salsa was awful too. Read more
Service and staff was not only awful it was non existent once we sat down. The restaurant was not busy or crowded and there was... plenty of staff if they would have been paying attention to "paying" customers as opposed to talking to and flirting with eachother!Food was horrible and prices were too high for food I couldn't even chew. We had burritos, the shells were dry, chewy andrubbery. We might have complained if our server asked how it was or stuck around long enough to hear our answer. Obviously, wewon't be returning nor recommending to any of our friends. Read more
Usually a great experience. Staff is great food is always good, but sometimes takes a little longer than it should. Just wish... they were open on Sundays, we'd be there two more times a month if there were. Read more
Staff was nice, food wasn't. I had nachos that were very plain, no flavor. The black beans were old and overcooked. The chicken... was dry, hardly any seasoning was put on it. I'm surprised there was no cheese sauce on the nachoes, it looks like they just putshredded cheese on some chips and put them in the microwave, which I could have done at home for way cheaper. The chips theygive you when they bring out the chips and salsa were bad, way too hard to eat, overcooked like the black beans. Overall regretgoing and won't be coming back, it was a waste of money.

Tried for the first time for dinner. Service was great but a little slow. Of course, dining anywhere at a peak time it's... expected. The server was amazing and the food was good. Their beef tacos got rave reviews at the table. Read more
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 propertexture. The meat was tender but didnt have enough salt, and some parts of the dish were clearly microwaved (hot plate meansmicrowaved!). The atmosphere, furniture and decor were all a win in my book. The service was above average. One big pitfall wasthe taste of the water. Seemed like their ice machine has freezer burn or something, because it flavored every drink with someoff, unpleasant taste. The server did not seem surprised about this, so my guess is it is brought up often. Prices arereasonable, the place is clean and inviting but people are likely not coming back because of the details. I honestly feel like afew small changes could make this place "the" place to go for Mexican food and drinks in Rita Ranch. Please use the feedbackyou get here because a lot of people are saying the same things. Read more
The food is decent, if a little over-priced. The restaurant is smallish. It has about 25 tables, including outside. and there... was only one waitress. Even with help from the hostess and busser...it was too many tables for one person up front, and I haveno idea if they had enough people working the kitchen. Seating every table caused a slow-down in service for everyone. Ourbasic enchiladas, tacos, and soup took over an hour to get to our table. It is better to ask people to wait to be seated even iftables are empty, then make a waitress try to handle a full restaurant. People end up waiting either way.... Read more
