Greatest Food Around
I lived in the Safford area for many years, and then I moved to Arkansas and have not found anything that compares to the food and staff of El Cornados. I am going there in April and I can't wait to have a breakfast burro and then come back for lunch. I going to buy some of their salsa and keep it on ice to bring back to Arkansas.    [26 Jan 2006 11:30:50]

El Coronado Earns 7 Balls!
In the King Normie 8-Ball Review, El Coronado is worthy of the name, The King! Breakfast and lunch are busy but the girls are good! You will not wait long to fill up on the hearty breakfasts, which are standard fare, high in quality and quantity, both Mexican, such as chorizo dishes, and American!

I did have an unfortunate experience there but it has been 4-5 years ago when a friend, a former co-worker, and his co-worker, showed up for Lunch. On a one-hour lunch break, I had to wait 45 minutes for a burger, as did my friends. Was it good, though, you ask? Well, who had time to tell? Probably a fluke, honestly! I ate lunch there for over a year and had a great time sampling the daily lunch specials! NEVER disappointed!

Breakfast is top notch, if a bit low in quantity.

I think they have the best Patty Melt in town, bar none!

My brother loves the Carne Asada Tacos but I can't get past the pre-formed shells.

Service has always been excellent.    [03 Mar 2008 22:08:05]

Terrible
As a Mexican food expert this is not a great place to eat plus it has a terrible atmosphere. Don't even bother.    [31 May 2009 15:16:42]
