    Carne Asada quesadilla
    Simeko O.

    We went to Clayton's Mexican Takeout in Coronado, and it was great! The food is delicious and tastes like an authentic San Diego taco shop. I ordered the carne asada quesadilla, and it was so good. We also got a bean and cheese burrito, and it was perfect too--no complaints at all. This is always a great place to go if you want a quick and affordable bite to eat on Coronado. The staff is friendly, and the restaurant has a food truck vibe. Highly recommend!

    An ICONIC coronado staple!! When we moved here, everyone said this place was a MUST go... and I agree!! The burritos are massive. Service was quick. Lots of different types of burritos/other food. When friends/family visit us, we always take them here!! So much flavor. Go here if you're hungry and craving a burrito!!

    Pollo asado quesadilla
    OverEasyEggs O.

    DONT EVER EAT HERE. First time I ate here, I got sick af and was throwing up all night long. I thought maybe it was what I got pollo asado tacos. However... This is their version of a quesadilla. They fucked it up and didn't add any cheese to it. Do you see this? Do yall see this? This is a disgrace to Mexican food in general. How you gonna call this a quesadilla when there's no cheese on this quesadilla and the meat looks like a frozen pizza that's been expired. It's supposed to be hard to open as it's melted all together and that's not the case with this.

    I've been a couple of times, different times of the morning and early afternoon, and there is always a crowd of hungry burrito people either in line or waiting for their order. Nobody is sad. The menu has a wide choice, we usually order delicious breakfast bacon or chorizo burritos, but this visit we wanted to try to soyrizo and fish tacos. The tacos are all under $5. I was not expecting an overloaded taco for $5, but if you order 2 you're getting a great deal. Any time I am in Coronado, this is the place to eat.

    Breakfast burrito from Clayton's Mexican Take Out Not used to beans in my burritos, but it was such a yummy surprise! The fresh tortilla smell and this cute little shop made it all the more special. Such a cozy and tasty start to the day!

    Always a fan of Clayton's burritos! Whenever I'm in San Diego I make it point to stop by here for a quick bite. The staff was friendly, the food delicious, and the price is reasonable, especially for Coronado. There's also a bakery and coffee shop attached, so check them out too!

    The breakfast burritos are massive! They last two meals for sure. There isn't too much flavor in the burrito but the salsa makes it great.

    Happy find!! Originally the hubby and I wanted to try a restaurant down the street. However, they…read moreswitched to reservations only for the day. So we looked up nearby restaurants and found The Henry. So glad we did. Our first time here and it won't be our last.... The hostess was very kind and welcoming. She took our name down right away. We waited under 10 minutes to be seated. We opted to sit inside. Very nice vibe. Our waiter Enrique was AMAZING. Super attentive and a true asset to this restaurant. Our food came out quickly. Everything was so flavorful. You could really taste the quality. The hubby even got a tea to go. TOP NOTCH!! What we ordered & shared: * Grilled & Chilled Shrimp * Short Rib Potstickers * Roasted Turkey French Dip w/ Salad #DiningWithTheAndersons #HappyFind #TryingNewPlaces #WithTheHubby #SoYummy

    Usually this place is recognized for its brunch, but i decided to come by and try their dinner menu…read more! I ordered the following below: *Korean Prime Skirt Steak: 5/5 - I asked for my skirt steak medium rare and man was it cooked so well. Underneath was fried rice,bok choy, veggies and a nice creamy Korean sauce . The sauce really complimented the steak and fried rice really well. I was very pleased on how the steak was juicy and tender ! *Braised Short Rib: 2/5 - Don't get me wrong i love me some good braised short ribs, however, these were very disappointing. Most of the meat was covered by fat, the portion size was insanely small considering its an entree. Not much veggies or sides to compliment this meal very well, definitely need to redo this dish. *Pressed Yellowtail Sushi: 5/5 - Honestly the yellowtail was so fresh ! It had a hint of spiciness but also a hint of sweetness. The sushi was very fresh and almost tasted like a ceviche mix. *Parmesan Truffle Fries: 3/5 - Your average truffle fries. Nothing fancy about them. I really wish they were crispier. The ambiance was very nice and welcoming. You are introduced to basically nice oak wood tables everywhere. The booth we sat in was pretty comfy. The service was exceptional. It is nice to know you are getting some quality dishes, others need some refinement.

The gentleman/waiter handed us the menu and went on his way. Chips and salsa along with waters for the table were brought and then that was when the service of our waiter went downhill. We ordered the ahi tuna and guacamole for our appetizers but the timing for the meal was so off. It was a long wait before the waiter even checked back on us and which is when I asked for a refill on my water and chips. We had order drinks as well. The smoked old fashion was good and the ahi tuna appetizer portion was plentiful. There were some parts of the diced ahi that was a bit chewy. The gaucamole portion was large and it wasn't until I asked another waiter did my refill of water and chips arrive. For entree, we got the scallops with corn cake, a salad and I had the poblano burger. I asked for the burger to be cooked to medium. When the entrees arrived my burger was overcooked with no pink in sight. The flavor of the burger was good but the burger was definitely dry as can be. The corn cake with scallop was interesting it was almost like the corn cake was a croquet that encased a corn salsa. Overall the food was okay but the service left a lot to be desired. The waiter and the end seemed to put up a fake act when the check came. Since we asked for the check it seemed like the waiter was on hyper speed. Overall the view is nice but the food and service did not meet the expectations.
