BIG FAN of their chocolate chip pancakes They are ginormous, like the legit size of a dinner plate. You can share these! Casual diner feel, it's super charming! Service is always delightful and I'm happy every time I visit :) [this review was written in connection with a Toast promotion] read more

Had a nice breakfast/brunch recently at Night and Day Cafe. The food was simple, classic, and exactly what we were in the mood for. The pancake was huge and had that soft, fluffy texture you want from a good diner-style meal. We also had a breakfast burrito with crispy hash browns that hit the spot, plus a plate with bacon, eggs, and hash browns that was satisfying and well cooked. The portions were definitely generous, although the prices felt very Coronado. Still, the food came out fresh and it was an easy, enjoyable brunch overall. One thing to know: on a busy day, if you're sitting outside, be prepared to get a few stares from people waiting for a table. Not the restaurant's fault, just part of the experience when a spot is popular. Nothing overly fancy, just good comfort food done well. Definitely a solid spot when you want a relaxed, no-fuss meal. read more

Came here for breakfast and was seriously impressed. The food was excellent and the portions were very generous -- definitely the kind of place where you leave full and happy. I ordered the chilaquiles, and they were phenomenal. The flavors were bold and well balanced, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the portion size was huge. It's clear they don't cut corners when it comes to quality or quantity. One of my favorite parts was the outdoor seating. On a cool, sunny day it's the perfect spot to sit back, relax, and enjoy a great meal. The atmosphere outside made the whole experience even better. If you're looking for a place with great food, big portions, and a relaxing outdoor dining setup, this spot is definitely worth checking out. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

We had the best experience and meals. The restaurant has outdoor seating and a counter top bar inside. The staff was fantastic and the chef efficient considering he was the only one behind the counter. The food was was delicious but be aware that the portions are larger enough to share. The mimosa flight YUMMMM. Full menu from breakfast to burgers to salads. I would absolutely eat here again. read more

We went for Saturday brunch and had an amazing meal. Sitting at the counter let us watch everything being prepared fresh right in front of us. The jalapeño hollandaise was incredible--honestly, I could eat it as a dip for tortilla chips, it was that good. The omelet was generously filled with fresh shrimp and full of flavor. Service was good overall. My only small complaint is that after waiting a long time for counter seating (by choice), three different parties were seated at the same time and our order was taken last. I wish there had been a little more attention to who was seated first. Aside from that, everything was spot-on. The décor is fun, with a classic diner vibe, and the whole place looked clean and well maintained. I'm excited to go back and try more items from the menu! read more

Stopped by Night & Day Cafe and had a solid, laid-back experience. It's a small, hole-in-the-wall type spot inside, but I grabbed a table outside at the end of the main street, which was a great way to enjoy the meal. Started with chips and salsa and for my main I ordered the carne asada tacos. Straightforward, enjoyable, and exactly what I was looking for. Nothing fancy, just good food in a relaxed setting. A nice find if you're nearby and want something simple and dependable. read more

Come here with a seriously empty stomach! Came here early on a Sunday morning and walked out feeling more full than Thanksgiving dinner! Wow, the Coronado burrito is delicious. The perfect mix of everything you want for breakfast with perfectly cooked bacon, hashbrowns, avocado, and scrambled eggs in a burrito with the salsa drizzled in you could just go to town on that! Sitting inside at the bar, you get to watch all the food being cooked and it feels like you were transported back to your childhood This tiny and unassuming hole in the wall in Coronado is incredible and worth every penny come eat your heart out and then go for a walk towards the Del read more

This feels more local than most of the other restaurants along this street. I like it. I mean, it's a homey little breakfast burrito diner. Or maybe it's more dingy than homey? Maybe it depends on your point of view. Plus, the dude is cooking right in front of you; obviously not a classy place. Nice bit of heat on the tortilla and fluffy eggs. Good avocado. No default salsa, but not too dry even without it since it's well made. I kind of like the hash browns too for some reason. It's something about the amount of crisp and the ratio to the softness that feels right somehow. It does feel a bit pricey for what you're getting, but that's everywhere in this neighborhood. Like, that just looks like cheap shredded cheese. Also, the steak was.......okay. The texture was fine, but I did feel that it was a tad bland and generic. The waitress offered coffee to-go, which was great. Although, I have a random nitpick about the cups with the built in sleeves. Ironically, these are not as good and will get too hot in your hand since part of what gives the insulation is the sliver of separation between the detached sleeve and the cup. Anyways, I do like this place, but I'm gonna lose street cred again if I give this five stars. Lol. read more

We decided to have brunch here on a Thursday before hitting the road home. A great origin story and a really cute little spot with a fun vibe and intimate indoor counter seating. Two tvs plaing Padres game when we were there, but we sat outside on an awesome afternoon. Service was excellent, as was the food. My wife got the Machacas con Huevos and I got the Stan the Man Mahi Mahi Burrito. They also have great housemade salsas, habanero and chile verde. Fun spot in Coronado! read more

Service and location were both great! My California burrito tasted like a California burrito, but for $21 I was expecting a massive burrito that was over the top... it wasn't. It was just your standard burrito. They normally serve it with enchilada sauce and sour cream on top but I asked them to add it in the burrito, which they didn't. Seating was very limited, belly up bar inside and a few tables outside. If you sit at the bar inside, you're literally sitting along side the line cooks. Not good for large or medium groups. It's on the main street in Coronado with no dedicated parking lot so it could be difficult at times to find a spot. read more

Night and Day Café in Coronado is a hidden gem! At first glance, it might not look like much from the outside -- nothing too fancy -- but don't let that fool you. The food is absolutely fantastic. We were lucky to get a seat outside since there aren't too many tables, but the vibe was casual and relaxed. The Mexican food here is top-notch -- fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The chilaquiles were especially amazing -- probably some of the best I've had! They also serve beer, which was a great bonus. Service was exceptional. Chicken wings was great . Tasted so good .. If you're in Coronado and craving authentic Mexican food in a laid-back spot, this place is a must-visit. Thought of giving 4 stars but this one deserves a 5 star read more

Both times we've dined in, it's been such a pleasant experience! Friendly staff, quick service, and best of all the generous portions! One burrito, split, is more than enough to fill us both. Definitely ask for the green & red salsas, very flavorful spicy kick. We loved the Beef Chimichanga and Surf & Turf burritos! We came on a Sunday ~4pm and unbeknownst it was happy hour half off apps & drinks which was such a great deal! read more

Saw this place on an instagram reel for taco Tuesday. Got right up don't street parking. We were quickly greeted and taken care of. There's a beachy vibe to the place and with so many excellent reviews I had to try it. Friend ordered fish tacos with mango salsa and they were gigantic. He said they were really good. I got one each of the adobada, carne asada and pollo asado street tacos. So yummy! Definitely want to try other things next time. read more

While exploring Coronado, we stumbled upon this hidden gem! We came on a Sunday at 12:30 PM, thankfully we dodged the brunch rush. Parking is difficult, we parked at a nearby neighborhood. We sat at the counter in front of the grill so it was entertaining to see the cook in action. The inside is very small and loud, but there is outdoor seating you could ask for. We ordered: - Banana Pancake: They really weren't lying about the size of the pancake! Great texture, but still a pretty basic pancake. - Monte Cristo: They gave a thick ham steak that was a little tough to cut through and the cook gave us a ton of crispy hashbrowns, which was nice. Food was okay, good service, friendly staff, and affordable prices. We'd come back if we're in the area! read more

Homestyle breakfast found in beautiful sunny Coronado. I've walked by this restraunt for awhile the line kept me away. Today we waited about an hour, went next door for coffee as we waited. Once called we were seated outside besides a counter inside this is all they have. That would explain the long wait times. So many people coming you can tell no one minds at all. The food !!! I loved the hashbrowns they topped most of the ones I've tried to date. Not greasy at all super crispy and salted to perfection. Not to crazy about my eggs today. The soft giant buttermilk pancake made up for it. The burrito was stuffed with so much egg that was a nice surprise. No short cuts at this place. They are legit and serve you with the biggest smiles. Beautiful way to start off our Sunday. read more

My husband and I came for breakfast once and after that it has become one of our favorite breakfast go-to spots!! Some of our favorite menu items include: the machaca burrito, chilaquiles (both green and red sauce), the denver omelette, and the pancake w/banana and chocolate chips. One pancake is good to share - it's true, it's the size of a frisbee! Everything is so tasty and you can tell the salsas are fresh, made from scratch. Also, service here is top-notch. The hostess and the servers are always polite, friendly, and go above and beyond. read more

Burrito came out cold, not warm cold, got a replacement and it was the the wrong burrito. I'm sorry but not only did the waitress blow it by not serving the order in a timely fashion but, then the cook blows it by cooking the wrong replacement... read more

Very solid joint! We came a little after 9pm and got a couple seats at the bar. It's fun seeing the open kitchen concept. Fast and friendly service. Would absolutely come again - monte christo and burrito hit the spot. Sweet potato fries needed to be crispier, but still good nonetheless read more

My boyfriend and I had a really nice brunch at this Cafe. Although it was pretty busy in Coronado that day, we put our name down and were seated like 10 minutes later. We sat outside which was only a little annoying because they don't have enough umbrellas so the sun really beats down on you. My boyfriend ended up getting a little sunburned so maybe pack some SPF if you sit outside. The food was great though! The pancake was huge, I ended up taking some home to eat later. My boyfriend said the rice and beans he had were the best he'd had on our trip. I also really liked the omelette I had. I would definitely go back to try more of the food. read more

We ordered the chilaquiles, a breakfast burrito and scrambled eggs and hash browns for my baby. Still thinking of those chilaquiles and needing an excuse to head down to coronado to get them again.

Probably a 3.5 but I'll round up, the service was quick and friendly. I sat alone at the bar right after open. Double edged sword that you can watch the food being made haha no gross handling or anything but you do see how much butter goes into everything! I ordered the carne omelette with egg whites and no cheese. Twas tasty. Good portion. Nothing to write home about but I enjoyed it. Hashbrowns were super good, nice and crispy. I upped my bread side to a single pancake... holy cow! They weren't kidding about the size, it was huge! Good texture but a pretty basic pancake. Again nothing I would rush back for but all solid for a quick breakfast. read more

Always looking to try out new places. I was in the area enjoying a pleasant walk and found this place. It was busy by the time I walked over. Must be a popular spot as it was about a 20 minute wait. I went ahead and ordered a Coronado Burrito- Bacon, hash browns, scrambled eggs, Jack cheddar cheese, and avocado It was a huge burrito! Delicious too especially with the green sauce! Definitely sharable and I had a half of a burrito left over. Come try this place out!!! read more

Night & Day Cafe - Carne Asada Burrito - Beer Bar Near Me - Coronado, California

I had a disappointing experience here due to a misleading charge and how it was handled. I ordered one food item and one drink. When my bill came, I noticed I was charged for an additional food item that I did not order separately. When I asked about it, the employee said, "Let me check," as if he wasn't sure whether it was included or not. After a pause, he came back and said, "Oh yeah, it's extra -- is that okay?" The problem is, I checked the menu description again, and the item clearly states that it is included. So asking after the fact if it's "okay" to charge extra felt sneaky and dishonest. If something is extra, it should be clearly explained before placing the order -- not quietly added and justified only when the customer catches it. The whole interaction gave the impression that this is done intentionally, hoping customers won't notice. Food might be fine, but transparency and honesty matter. Because of this experience, I won't be returning. read more

I really enjoyed the food here. The carne asada and pollo asada tacos were delicious. We also got the california burrito and some fish tacos (loved the mango salsa). Everything came out hot and flavorful, and portions for the price were excellent. My only critique is that we were seated outside in direct sunlight and our table did not have an umbrella. Having some shade would've made the experience more enjoyable but overall i would come here for a great, reasonably priced lunch. read more

The last time I ate at Night & Day Cafe was about 2008 and it makes my heart so happy that they are still open and thriving. I try to get there every visit to San Diego but it's not always possible. I had the best omelette of my life there! It was the California omelette and it was prepared in front of me by a young woman full of sarcasm and wittiness. She was awesome! I've tried ti replicate her omelette so many times myself and in restaurants but nothing compares. I love being able to eat at the bar and converse with the incredible and talented people that they have working there, not only cooking your food but serving you as well. The decor is very cool, funky and represents Coronado, California perfectly. I cannot wait to go back. It will be odd not being able to go there anytime day or night.

I found small brunch Mexican American restaurant near our hotel. I saw this place on Thur night after my wife and I checked in our hotel on Orange Ave. Looked so viral, cozy w so many people were that night. We are right!!! Once we sat at the bar table, already felt so viral, energy, comfy. The kitchen is at the bar. I see the chefs cook, flame, yummy smell....etc. We noticed the popular dishes were burritos, tacos, and pancakes. We ordered 2 street taco w asada Carne, 2 beer battered fish tacos. Personally I liked the fish tacos, 5 stars!! They put some guacamole in the tacos. So tasty!! Fresh cooked in front of us....we really enjoyed watching the chefs. The space is not big but you sit at the bar, interact w server and chefs. Cool!!! Next time we really want to try pancakes. Looks good to us. We had a great time for the early taco lunch. Definitely come again next vacation time. read more
