3 flour tortillas
Erica C.

6/27/26 - I went here for a party of two. They are doing construction to the main entrance and redoing the entire outside patio. It looked fine before. You have to enter near the hotel side of the street. We are inside. No wait around 12pm. Ordered 2 items and 15 minutes later it arrived. We left around 12:40pm. 5 stars. Guest had 1 Chorizo con Heuvos for $17 with 3 flour tortillas. Has a little kick he said. I had the Barb's Ceaser which is my fav. Check photos out.

Surf and Surf & Turf Burrito

We love this Miguel's location. Everyone on staff is very friendly and welcoming. They refill your chips and dip or drinks without you even having to ask. The food is consistently delicious and although we are creatures of habit usually ordering the same thing when dining out, Miguel's is the one place choose to be adventurous and it has not disappointed us! Our table ordered the veggie I child's as, surf and turf burrito, shrimp burrito and for dessert we had chocolate empanadas à la mode, mudpie, and raspberry bread pudding. All so delish ! Thanks Miguel's, see yall soon!

Caldo 7 Mares

We had a large group with excellent service they have a large menu of food beers and drinks. We dine out doors and this was a very crowded restaurant With such a large menu you should be able to find something they started out with chips and a queso and a salsa Spice level was very slow but they both had good flavor I ordered the 7 mars which just did not make it very light on fish and shell fish and flavor. This is one of my favorite dishes so personally my standards might be a bit high. Noise level is very high so if your hear to talk with friends you may need to lean forward to hear them. This was walkable from hotels like the Del Coronado and the Glorietta Bay Inn. The non recommend was based on my specific food expectations and I suspect other dishes were excellent based on the group I was with.

My wife and I have been coming to Miguel's on Coronado Island for the past decade every time we come to San Diego. This time we came with our kids. Ambiance: There is a beautiful outside patio which is where we have always sat in but this time it was raining so we sat inside which was nice. Service: The service is always great! You always get a belly full of chips, salsa, and DELICIOUS queso which they fill up all the time (be careful so you don't fill up). Food: We got the following * Carne Asada Tacos: My kids (both boys) ordered these and it came with rice and beans...and they LOVED it...our elder son compared it to La Fiesta (in Mountain View which is our family favorite). * Pollo Asada Burrito: My wife and I were not that hungry but we shared this dish and it was DELICIOUS!! * Flan: My wife and I shared the Coconut flavored flan which was delicious, The food is delicious and well priced! I would recommend this place 1000% DISCLAIMER: I don't have any photos - SORRY! We got so carried away with how good the food looked we ate it...I got one half eaten photo...next time!!

Took it to go after walking over from the beach. Went with a mixed taco plate which came with rice and beans! Ahi tacos were an odd take in a hard shell and lacked other toppings. But man, the chicken taco had a fresh made tortilla with crispy cheese on it. They sent a huge portion of chips, salsa, guac, and queso! Killer!

The food is the best you'll find anywhere. The service is over the top friendly, and the setting is gorgeous... tucked away, part inside, part outside. This is my favorite place to visit on Coronado. Try the plain cheese quesadilla. It is dripping in garlic and is cheesy heaven. The guacamole is creamy heaven. And wear your elastic pants for the chips and salsa, fajitas and fish tacos!

Carne Asada
Colten G.

Miguel's Cocina offers very different Mexican food than what we're used to back in North Carolina. It is still good, has a lil' kick, and is authentic (to us at least)! Salsa is always complimentary, but so is cheese dip (queso)! Back in NC they make you pay for that. They are both a bit spicy, but are both fresh (not bought). I tried the carne asada. The steak was surprisingly VERY tender, and had great flavor. They give you a choice of either corn or flour tortillas to make a taco out of it. The rice was so good that I didn't need to put anything on it, and refried beans were great as well! My grandmother's taco salad was great as well! One thing that I like about California is that you can actually eat outside! If you tried to eat outside in coastal NC or anywhere on the southeastern coast, nats, flies, and mosquitoes would be all over you. There is very little of that here. The food comes out fast, and service is professional and sincere! If you're in San Diego or on Coronado Island, this is the place for Mexican!

Classic Fish Tacos
Katey G.

We were in Coronado for a wedding and decided to have lunch at Miguel's. It's hidden away in a quiet courtyard with a nice outdoor space. The staff were very nice and accommodating of a stroller and highchair. I ordered the classic fish tacos that came with fried fish, ranch, and rice and beans. The tacos were good, not great. I wish I'd asked for a chipotle mayo or aioli instead of the ranch - it needed a little kick! The cucumber margarita was delicious. A nice and trusty place to have lunch in Coronado.

NOT so Carne Asada Tacos. (Not sure what kind of meat this was)
Aricka M.

By far the worst "Mexican food" we have ever had. The taste was awful...in fact there was no taste at all. I'm not sure what kind of meat I had but it was not carne asada. Sister in law got the chicken tostada and only took two bites...two because she was hungry. There was absolutely not flavor in the chicken. So unfortunate because the service was decent and the ambiance was nice, we sat on the patio. But other than that...no thank you!

tacos of the month
Chloe K.

Delicious, slightly hidden, mexican place right across from the Del! You kind of have to weave through a back alley to find the hostess. We were seated immediately, outdoors but there were heaters if it got too cold! Service was 10/10. Everyone was so attentive and really just seemed passionate about their jobs and happy to be there! Chips, queso, and salsa was put at our table within 30 seconds of sitting down. Chicken nachos were good! I liked my carnitas plate and my husband liked his tacos of the month. Also got some happy hour margs - large portions! Definitely recommend.

This place is a joke for drinks. Staying at the hotel so decided to try this restaurant on our first night which was on Sat, 5 days ago. I asked the waiter what he recommended regarding drinks and he said a Cadillac margarita which I knew he was trying to upsell. I used to be a server so I knew but I was fine with that so I ordered 2, one for me and one for my son. At $20 apiece, I would expect them to be a little strong especially since they include an extra shot. I didn't say anything though. The food was fine. I just came down and ordered two drinks for me and my son about an hour ago to take upstairs and again could barely taste alcohol and again spent almost $40 for both. I came to the pool with my younger son 30 min later and decided to order a Long Island tea because I know those are at least a little stronger. Nope. Just tasted like a sweetened iced tea. I went back and the hostess said she would watch them make it and would get the manager. The manager never came out and she came back with my drink which was not remade because my straw was still in it. It tasted a tiny bit like alcohol but barely and at that point I just gave up and took it. At this point, I really don't feel like talking about the food since my overall experience was very negative. I'm about $100 in just for watered down weak drinks.

Adobada Tacos
Norma D.

While I was in Coronado I decided to stop for lunch at Miguel's. They're always on hit with their chips, salsa, and jalapenos dip. Today I had the Adobado tacos with rice. Tacos were delicious with the right amount of mangos in the tacos. It gives these tacos a refreshing taste. As always they were busy with lots of tourists but I didn't have to wait at all. Service was good and quick. I haven't had a bad meal at any of their locations. Coronado is nice because if you're able to sit outside you get some great people watching opportunities.

Carnitas street tacos
Wendy S.

Absolutely love this location of Miguel's!! the outside patio is perfect just to hang out! Their happy hour deals is what always draws us in!! The food is so good, and the service is always on point!! If you've been to the other locations, this one is a must try!!

Is there bottomless mimosas at Saturday brunch?

We do not have bottomless mimosas, but we do offer a bottle of Kenwood Brut for $20.

What's available for vegan options?

Not sure exactly what was available but they seemed to have plenty of options. We have a couple of vegetarians at work and they ate there and were happy.

Are we allowed to bring dogs? On the reviews, some have said yes but on the yelp page, it says they aren't allowed.

There is an outside area where you can bring your dog. It does not face the Main Street is the entrance on the side

Is it easy to find parking nearby on a weekday afternoon?

it's by Hotel Del , so it can be a challenge but I've found parking , just have to drive around...

Do you still have happy hour on Tuesday's?

Yes from 3-6pm

Do they have bottomless mimosas?

Not when I went a couple months ago on a Saturday afternoon.

tldr: going to think about this place for the next year until i can return again…read more we stopped in for some appetizers and drinks after walking for a few miles visiting coronado. we needed some fuel for the drive back to the city. it wasn't a planned stop, but we happened to walk past it and decided to turn back around for a quick snack/drink (best decision) service: so friendly! from the hostess, to our server (the receipt might've said his name was angel?). he was so kind and checked up on us several times, but wasn't "pestering". whenever i started to get low on my water, he would come refill it. i watched him take care of his other tables and he was so attentive!! bathrooms: super clean! multiple stalls. the individual doors showed if they were occupied or not. and finally, the food: i told the waiter i would be dreaming about the flautas and i was not lying. he told us they just recently changed the menu and there were taquitos, but those were removed and they recently brought in these flautas and holy moly. they hit the spot. so delicious!! i almost cried. if we didn't already have plans for dinner later that night, i would've ordered 2-3 more plates of these. the salsa was amazing. not chunky, not watery. just perfect!!! had some spice but not uncomfortable. the queso was soo good too! everything tasted so fresh. food came out quickly but not suspiciously so. drinks: refreshing! i got an aloha tea and my sister got the poolside pop margarita. overall, would absolutely come back. in fact, i would come back to coronado for only this meal. 10/10.

We were visiting Coronado and looking for a place to watch the FIFA games. The food was delicious,…read morebut I wouldn't consider it authentic Mexican cuisine. It's more of a modern, Americanized take on Mexican food. That said, the cheese balls on my salad were absolutely delicious! The restaurant is beautifully decorated with a great atmosphere, making it a nice spot to relax and enjoy a drink. The service, however, could have been more attentive. We had several different servers during our visit, so I never really knew who our main waiter was. We even had to flag someone down just to get our bill. Overall, the food was good, the ambiance was enjoyable, and it's a great place to grab drinks and watch a game. With more attentive service, it would have been an even better experience.

It's one of San Diego's top scenic date-night restaurants. You get to take in San Diego's night views from a unique vantage point, and the scenery is breathtaking. Boasting unbeatable ocean views, the restaurant faces straight toward the downtown skyline and the Coronado Bridge. Sunset hour offers incredible photo opportunities. It features a huge outdoor terrace with fire pits and refreshing ocean breezes, making it perfect for watching sunsets, snapping photos, or romantic dates. The weather wasn't ideal the day I went, and I arrived a little late, so I missed the sunset glow, but I still had an amazing experience overall. The menu centers on modern Mexican cuisine and fresh seafood. Must-orders include table-side guacamole made fresh right at your table, ceviche and aguachile with ultra-fresh seafood, fish and shrimp tacos, as well as Mexican paella meant to share for two. Their fried cauliflower appetizer was also outstanding! The bill came out to around $55 per person, and it's totally worth the price given the stunning surroundings. I highly recommend it for anniversaries or anyone chasing one of San Diego's most gorgeous sunsets. It's also a fantastic spot to bring friends and impress them!

So I was very excited to see what this place had to offer. Celebrated my daughter's 19th birthday here this week, and to be honest, I was not impressed. The location and views from this place are unmatched. Tons of covered patio seating with a breathtaking view of the downtown skyline. As for the food, it was just ok. It was mostly mexican seafood, but there was a good mix of other items like steak and a wagu burger. Everything was served hot and fresh, but in my honest opinion, everything just lacked flavor. Everything I tasted was just bland, and I tasted a little bit of all of my family's meals. But everyone agreed. Maybe we are just spoiled with San Diego Mexican food. My biggest complaint of the night was the service. Our waiter started off well. He took our drink orders and when he returned, asked if we wanted to get appetizers started, which we did. Our appetizers came out and were finished and we still had not seen our server to order our main dinner. This continued to be the issue all night, we were constantly looking and waiting for our server. There were other servers that came around and filled our drinks and took our plates, and they were great! But we really didn't see our main server most of the night. And one of the times that we did walk by, my daughter asked for a new glass of water because she had dropped food into the glass. He took the glass and never came back. I ended up giving my daughter my water. I did notice that the servers at the other tables were awesome. They were attentive, and we constantly saw them checking on their guest. And like I said, we are fans of all of the Cohn restaurants we have dined at before, so the level of service we received is not typical. Maybe our server was new??? I will say, this is not a cheap place to eat. My family of 5 spent almost $240 and that was with no alcohol or desserts. So you would expect to receive a high level of service. Other than the ambience, our experience was just ok. I would highly recommend the restaurants next door, which are owned by the same owner, and have never disappointed us in quality and/or service (Island Prime or C-Level).
