El Coronado

This was a place we found on our way home. I have to say it was packed! Even though it was full they were friendly and continued to refill our drinks while we waited for our food.So even when it took a little longer to get food the service made up for it. Breakfast came in fresh off the stove and perfectly cooked. My eggs and bacon were wonderful. The potatoes were cooked well but in my opinion a little bland. I asked for some salsa to add to my potatoes to fix them and then all was good.

I've always loved coming to eat steak picado and eggs here. Lately, the potatoes aren't quite browned enough to give them that nice flavor. Need to cook those over medium eggs a little slower/lower but other than that. Very delicious! I will keep coming back.

Great food and very quick service, far faster than what I recall from the last time I dined there.

Rode into town from Tucson and decided to try out this diner on Main Street for Sunday morning breakfast. It was a pleasant and inexpensive little diner that could use some better upkeep. Nice friendly people, full menu, booth and counter seating. A very quaint place.I have lots of coffee and eggs, bacon and toast. The sour dough was very good, not thick but tasty. Lot's of locals coming in, this was not my first choice, but one of the only ones open on Sunday morning. Standard breakfast fare, try them out for a casual and local breakfast.Safford in general has limited options, but if visiting I can recommend El Coronado for Breakfast, esp on Sunday.

Message to ownerRestaurant that closes at 7 stays open till 7!!!Telling customers the kitchen is closed earlier is just lazy and obviously bad customer service. You deserve to lose customers if you keep this up.

What I ordered: Green chicken enchiladas & a bowl of menudoDate: 11/1First time: it was my first time trying it after the remodel & new owners.I was in town visiting family over the Halloween weekend and was craving a nice bowl of menudo that Friday. Finding a place that has good menudo in Safford isn't easy but I have had El Coronado's menudo in the past and it was great. My mom and I decided to take a trip to El Coronado for dinner. I hadn't been in since before the remodel so I was very impressed with the new layout and revamp this place had. It looks a little more modern and up to date without losing the authentic Mexican feel. I loved that they had a mixture of awesome Mexican music and country as well. Now, for the important part; the food. I ordered a small bowl of menudo and the green chicken enchiladas with 2 fried eggs on top. (if you haven't tried enchiladas with an egg on top you're missing out) It took about 25-30 minutes to get our food so I wouldn't recommend coming in if you're in a hurry. The menudo had AMAZING flavor but my only complaint was that there wasn't enough hominy in the bowl. To be fair, I did ask for them to add more soup so its not so dry so they might have had to take out some hominy. The enchiladas were still very good. I was unsure if they were still using the old recipe because I use to love the green enchilada sauce they used but to my surprise they still had it! Overall, our visit here was lovely. I'm surprised this place doesn't have a higher rating. If you're looking for some good menudo or just some good Mexican food I'd definitely recommend El Coronado.

Yum! Nice little authentic place we found on our trip. While the food did take forever, I found it to be really delicious and reasonably priced. I am always happy to find hole in the wall places with great food; this place is definitely both! Our waitress (dark hair and tattoo on her right arm) was exceptionally nice and pleasant. The place isn't anything fancy but it was exactly what we were looking for. We would gladly return again, I thought I should take a star off for the long wait time but the food was five stars for sure!

I want to give a shout out to Celeste. She is an awesome server and really friendly. She is presentable and well spoken and efficient at her job. She remembers us and our preferences so I feel like at home. There is no comparison of Celeste to the other wait staff who are just plain not good at their jobs and it is a really bad look. These people need to know they work for tips and what that means for them and there employees. Training is key. Without Celeste this business would not be doing as well. Thx Celeste!

This place used to be closed on Mondays or Tuesdays. On all their internet pages it says they're open everyday now. Last couple days they're just randomly closed with no sign and no answer on the phone. They should make it known or post a sign saying they changed their hours. Kinda lame when there's not very many breakfast places in town. If the family had something come up that's fine just post on the door. If it's new hours, change all your internet hours so people don't show up to your business. There was 4-5 families that showed up the same time I did expecting to eat this morning. Annoying they close when they want with no communication. Foods good. The lack of communication is a hit to their review.

Make sure you eat before you come here. It'll take awhile to get your food. Also make sure you have all the time in the world. I ordered my breakfast and got it at lunch time.
