Was wondering by wondering what to eat when my uncle mentioned wanting to try a burrito here. The woman crossing the street said it was awesome. So we went. Stars aligned. He had the original burrito (with fries) and I had the chicken chipotle with cheese instead of beans. Yum! My uncle said the carne asada in his was so juicy and tender. Too big for a single meal. Having the rest for dinner. Wish I had the shrimp. Next time. read more

Burritos are yummy and don't disappoint! I love the flavor Get the Coronado burrito! It's my go-to There have been a lot of price hikes in recent years which make the burritos not really worth it anymore in my humble opinion. Little to no seating options outside [this review was written in connection with a Toast promotion] read more

Surf and turf.... And sty?!? Their surf and turf burrito (with bacon!) was massive, flavorful, and delicious. The meat tastes high quality and well seasoned; no chewy, flavorless steak here. It paired very well with the green salsa (I stole my kids quesadilla as a vessel for more) and was perfectly sized to split with my wife. The kid's rice and beans were so good I couldn't keep my hands off them. Highly recommend while perusing the beauty that is Orange Ave in Coronado. read more

If you're in Coronado, Clayton's is a MUST! Our Coronado foodie friend introduced us to Clayton's as having the best fish tacos and burritos and boy she wasn't wrong! It has a food truck vibe without the truck. Can't get more authentic taco shop than here! Flavors are fantastic and portions are HUGE. They have a few picnic tables outside street side or you can get food to go! Tacos are messy but you will enjoy every bite. read more

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! read more

I want to come back here every time I'm in Coronado. Felt super authentic and the food was really great, and an awesome value for the money. Ordered the california burrito that I believe was the size of a newborn child it put me into a food coma (in a good way). read more

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!! read more

Best value for food in Coronado I've had after several trips here. Always super fast to come out, the portions are huge, and there's no skimping on the meats. Really can see why the SEALs and service members eat from here. Recommend the burritos and daily specials. read more

Could not stress this enough, you are no longer on the fence about where to eat. Your chronic indecisiveness has been cured. You're eating here. You're getting the surf-n-turf burrito with bacon, and it will absolutely rock your world. It's an easy walk from the Coronado beach, it has a really cute/quaint hole-in-the-wall vibe, and the serving sizes are massive. PLUS $3 off burritos during the 3pm-4pm happy hour. What more could you possibly want. read more

I've grew up on island and have frequented mto for a long time. In the last year Coronado has added 2 spots on Orange (to my knowledge) and they're both just awful. Crack taco slop over next to the blue bridge Mecca and the private equity taco shop on 9th. I'm not sure which spot is more upsetting as they both have awful quality and bs prices. Clayton's might not be the best Mexican food in the world, but they're fast, reasonably priced relative to portions of and competitors, they've been holding it down forever, and every now and then I get a California that catches me off guard being a little better than normal and makes my day. Don't go to crack taco slop or the private equity taco shop where all the middle schoolers hang out. read more

Oh how Clayton's has fallen! I used to come here all the time but now they just raise prices while adding more filler ingredients. If you get a cali burrito it will just be fries. If you get a breakfast burrito it will just be cheese. I got a bacon breakfast burrito that was half cheese and I think they full on just didn't put bacon in it. I was picking it apart and couldn't find any. Such a shame, I will not be returning. read more

The $5 breakfast burrito was simple and perfect but what put it over the top and made it a five-star experience was their two hot sauces. One was smokey and red, the other was creamy and green. I don't know what was in them but they made that burrito as good if not better than any breakfast burrito I've had in my entire life. Great job! read more

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. read more

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. read more

With fresh flavors and great prices, Clayton's Mexican Take Out is a perfect example of good food and quality service with a nice selection of fresh ingredients and great service. The ambiance and atmosphere are nice with a quick walk to the beach and the food is to die for, especially the street tacos and the burritos. I cannot stress enough how good the food is and would recommend this place to anyone looking for good food and a great experience. read more

Excellent food.. breakfast burritos are HUGE! We come every year while we camp at Fiddlers Cove..

Amazing food! Great company, energy, and open so often. I am really lucky to have this place across the street. Thank you MTO

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! read more

Don't get me wrong, I love Clayton's and it's a easy go to on the island or when I'm craving a nice burrito, but as of late (last few months) our (always) as-is order has differed from orders past. For example, the chipotle chicken burrito use to have a creamy chipotle sauce and sour cream on it, and probably the past 3 orders have not contained it, leaving the chicken a little dry. Was hoping it was a random flute, but now it seems like a pattern. Just hoping to bring this to the MOD's attention so they can either update the menu to reflect the changes to the ingredients, or maybe a menu refresher for the team is needed. Thanks! read more

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! read more

Incredibly overpriced mediocre Mexican food. Most expensive small guac I have ever had in my life. And then on top of that, they have the audacity to charge you for some chips..... read more

Fresh and authentic flavors through out the burrito. Ordered the Carne asada breakfast burrito and was full the rest of the afternoon. Massive helping with an incredible house made salsa. I can see if you don't like spicy and the salsa wasn't added it might be a little dry but the two house made salsa given with the order were incredible and rich with flavor Cash register wasn't accepting cards when we got there but luckily we had just enough cash to cover breakfast and a tip. read more

Worst Mexican food I had while vacationing in Coronado. My 3 rolled tacos were cold, only 1 was crunchy. The shrimp burrito was super basic, not flavorful at all. I went mid afternoon on a Wed, so it was not even busy. Better off to drive to Don Pancho's in IB if you want authentic amazing Mexican food! read more

I'm in favor of a quick to go place. Prices are ok for the island Clayton's is a staple and the Mexican food is good too. It's a little window inside with tables and chairs outside. Breakfast burritos are great read more

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.

Been looking for a good Mexican joint on Coronado that's not part of a chain when we stumbled upon Clayton's. A small storefront but damn the food is delicious. I ordered the Carnitas Burrito and it was tasty as well as filling. Good value for the money. Will definitely be back soon. read more

Decently good. Got a Cali burrito that was really good the first night and okay the second time around. Breakfast burrito is also pretty good, just be ready for a lot of potatoes. Both are big enough to feed a family of 4 read more

We ordered 9 breakfast burritos from here the morning after my sisters wedding, and it was the perfect breakfast! They were delicious, LOVED that they come with beans for those of us who don't like meat in our breakfast burritos. We were able to call in the take-out order, and pick up/pay at the time we gave them for pickup. worked really well. Only thing I will say is if you do this, get the name of whos helping you on the phone, becuase there was some confusion as to where to pick up, got sent from the cafe to the pick up window, to the mexican takeout only to be sent back to the takeout window where the order was already waiting. Other than that it was GREAT! Prices were good too for the size and quality of the burritos. read more

We're huge fans! My fiancé and I eat here 2-3 times a week because it's just that tasty and affordable. Our favorites are the Cali burrito, fish tacos, and pulled beef tacos. It's hands down our favorite Mexican spot--definitely a hidden gem! read more

Every now and then I'll pop by Clayton's at lunch for a burrito and am always pretty happy with the food, been coming for over a decade now. Usually alternating between a California burrito or street tacos. Found a lot of the places on the Island are good one day and not so much the next, but Clayton's is highly consistent. The operation is really impressive with how many orders & how quickly they get them out in the small footprint. Employees back there really do a great job read more

It was 2:57 pm. I asked the cashier if i could get the happy hour discount that runs from 3pm-4pm. He gave me a dirty look and pulled the screen around, pointed at the clock on the screen and said "how long does this say until happy hour." Just for that alone it gave me a bad impression of this place. Otherwise the burrito i got was good. Cheap fast, pretty much average for what you'd expect. read more

The veg breakfast burrito is to die for!!!! The service is always great, and quick! Highly recommend

Normally a HUGE fan of Clayton's to the point that my wife and I ate there weekly, but we just experienced such a surprising, disappointing visit. The cashier was rude and seemed to want to get rid of us as soon as they could. My sister-in-law order carne asada soft tacos for $10.23 and only received 25¢ back. Not a big deal, but still felt odd that they deliberately only handed her a quarter after telling her that her change was 77¢. She also asked for limes and didn't receive any even though they told her they'd give her some. My wife and I's California Burrito has pineapples in it for no reason and didn't have all the way melted cheese (just cold shredded cheese). Typically such a professional, delicious experience but this really turned us off and hope that management addresses this. Edit: management was quick to respond and give a detailed response of their action plan :) very thankful and will continue to be long time customers. read more

Amazing tacos. HUGE portion sizes and perfect balance of ingredients and flavor. Highly recommend the carne asada, fish, and al pastor tacos. Make sure to ask for extra sauces on the side for added moisture. The horchata is phenomenal. Came here consistently on two separate work trips spread across a span of almost a year and the great service along with delicious food have stayed the same. read more

I ordered the Cali burrito with guac and lettuce. The service was quick and friendly. As I sit here and write this, I'm having a small existential crisis. The burrito itself is so large, I initially thought I should use it for bicep curls rather than eating it for brunch. More than any other burrito I've had on my many decades on this planet, every. single. bite I took was incredible. The flavors were perfectly balanced, the fries were just the right size, the green sauce was perfectly complimentary, and the guac was creamy and delicious. More importantly, the overall distribution of all of these elements throughout the burrito is what elevates it to a work of art, such that I feel legitimately guilty eating it. The crisis I face now is three-fold, I still have like 25% of this monster left. I SHOULD stop eating it, I'm full. Second, like I said earlier, every bite is so immensely enjoyable that I don't know if I am ABLE to stop. And finally, there's a voice in the back of my head that keeps saying, "Dude. I think this may have ruined all other burritos for you." Frankly, that thought is terrifying. But if I'm being honest, if that winds up being the case? Worth it. read more

Oh 'em gee this place is amazing! I preferred it when it was a hidden gem, but the food is just as amazing. It's just a LOT busier now. I had the Veggie Burrito but I subbed black beans for refried beans and ground beef for the rice. Sorry, but that's how I like it!! So good. Perfect and didn't fall apart even though it also had lettuce, cheese, & sour cream. Next time I will not let my husband make me eat it in the car. I need to sit down and enjoy this beast of a burrito. The service is fast and efficient. They always get my orders right and it's the the best Mexican food on the island, or at least it easily rivals Miguel's. But they are too different breeds of excellent Mexican food. Go. You will not be sorry. And don't forget to ask for the red hot sauce! (You are very welcome, Andrew P.!) read more
