Coronado Mexican Kitchen

Up until a week ago, this was my “go to” Mexican restaurant in the Elgin area. I recommended it to everybody I know. We have easily been here 50 times and I have catered food for my work from this restaurant several times & really big orders. On Saturday, 7 days ago, it left a very bad taste in my mouth to the point where I am not going to return here. I placed an order online where they were offering free delivery. My order should’ve been delivered at 9:30 PM. The restaurant called me at 9:31 saying they don’t have drivers and can’t deliver my food. So after my husband had to go pick up our food, I had requested that they reimburse me for the tip that I gave for a driver who didn’t deliver my food. When my husband picked up the food, they reassured him that the manager was going to call me and refund me, THEY DID NOT. I went in there again on Tuesday, in person, Asking for a refund and they said the manager was going to call me. I explained to them about my wrong order and the tip that I need reimbursement for and left my phone number again. NOTHING. It is now Friday, no call. Not to mention, by the time my husband got to the restaurant, picked up the food and brought it home, the restaurant was closed. I had ordered a ground beef chimichanga and cut into it to find out it was chicken. No recourse. So now my husband was eating my dinner for lunch for the next two days. And it’s really sad because I’ve eaten here 50 times and they’ve lost a very loyal customer over a $16 tip and trying to make my meal right. ***** Shame on you Coronado’s!!! 😡

One of my favorite Mexican restaurants! The food is great & the vibe is perfect! Spacious interior makes it great for parties & larger groups. I always get the table side guacamole & I'm always glad I did. Excellent margaritas!

Coronado Mexican Kitchen is a must-visit! The food is fantastic, bursting with authentic flavors. The service is impeccable, and the atmosphere is inviting, making every visit memorable. Highly recommended for anyone craving delicious Mexican cuisine in a great setting!"

Great food and specials ,The Birria tacos & Birria quesadillas, table side guacamole , pollo buracho and churros are our favorites. Their weekly specials are always great like the quesadilla fajitas on Mondays ..along with their $5 & $7 margaritas specials on Sun & Monday. Excellent lunch prices during the week days. Good beans . Our favorite server is Rosie ,she’s always smiling & brings refills, desserts, to go bags etc … at lightning speed. Make sure, If you get a weekly special that’s posted on their special’s board when you walk in , that you get that price because they will pretend you ordered the lunch menu version of it and they cost more. If you don’t get Rosie you won’t get appetizer plates for your chips & salsa . They should learn to properly train their other staff.

Great experience. Loved the table side guac made with pineapple and bacon. Yummy! Get the queso fundito... And the giant burrito was just that. My son had a very thick and juicy looking quesadilla... $5 housemade margueritas and my horchata was great. (Picky about horchata). Nicely done interior and staff was very nice. Clean bathrooms.
