Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Love this place! Especially love the brunch on the weekends. For $12 the carne asado tostada can't be beat. Plus delicious margaritas!"
"Really good food! I had a plate with a chicken burrito, fish taco and beef flauta and every item was really tasty!"
"Got the taco salad chicken (was good), the chip trio with salsa, queso, and guacamole (good). Strawberry marg. w/salt is good, but not that strong. Family owned."
"A great Mexican find in the neighborhood! We ordered the numero tres which was more than enough for two hungry people. We upgraded two tacos to tongue and carne asada ribeye. The star of the show was by far the carne asada deliciously served with a grilled green onion, on par with some of our favorites in Mexico. My wife enjoyed the chorizo taco but it was too heavy on pork flavor for me. The guacamole was solid and the jalapeno slaw was great and spicy, too! The rice and beans were great as well. We chose the shrimp flauta which was a nice combo of shrimp and cheese. The burrito was the weakest link, mostly beans and not much meat. Minus star for no free chips and salsa (which was heavy on the lime, almost like ceviche without the fish)."
"I gave 4 stars b/c the first question asked 'do you have proof of vaccine'. We were allowed to order 'to go'. We were allowed to stand at the hostess/register station just inside the door. Food was freshly prepared within our view. Taco salad is simple and delicious. Lettuce to other salad ingredients is the best ever. The california burrito is unexpectedly huge , and worth every bite. Cost is minimal, however chips and salsa must be ordered. Frozen margaritas were very good."
"Taqueria Corona is the kind of neighborhood gem that makes you feel lucky to live nearby. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that captures the spirit of a true Mexican taqueria. The food is consistently flavorful and fresh—whether it’s their sizzling carne asada tacos, generously stuffed burritos, or the addictively crispy chips and house-made salsa that start off every meal just right. It’s clear the ingredients are thoughtfully sourced and the kitchen takes pride in delivering authentic flavors without unnecessary frills. What really sets Taqueria Corona apart, though, is the heart behind the service. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and quick to recognize returning faces, adding a personal touch that’s rare in most casual eateries. The prices are fair, the portions satisfying, and it’s the kind of spot where both quick takeout and slow dinners with friends feel equally right. Whether you’re rolling in for a weekday lunch or winding down with a cold beer and enchiladas after work, it never disappoints. A true staple for the neighborhood."
"The food is average, if not slightly above. The restaurant, on a 90-degree day, struggles to maintain a comfortable temperature. That and the occasional smoke from the kitchen. The service was friendly but one person during lunch rush resulted in slow service."
"Food was good for me and my two friends. I got a shrimp quesadilla, my friends got some tacos. We all had a great time and the food tasted great as well. Portions arent bad either."
