Our favorite non-formal restaurant. May we suggest the Marquita Special with corn tortillas (not the chips, which are already complimentary & put on your table with salsa when you are seated). Beef tips or Pollo (Chicken) grilled w/ onions & mild peppers, on a bed of lettuce & covered w/ sour cream, guacamole, & cheese, it is served as a salad, but we prefer to make "soft tacos" w/ the corn tortillas(you have to request the corn tortillas when you order). One order is enough for both of us, and is the best-kept secret on their menu.
Also, their salsa verde (tomatillo salsa) could easily win awards, and its the best we've ever tasted. Full of cilantro & green onions, this wonderful salsa is usually mild to medium in heat. If you are really daring, try the salsa diabla, one of the finest hot salsas I (Butch) have ever put in my mouth. Not for the faint of heart, this salsa is usually a medly of habanero, jalapeno, and dried chiles that will make your taste-buds dance the cha cha cha.
All that said, the very best thing about this restaurant is not necessarily the food, although it is some of the best we've ever eaten. I'ts not the atmosphere, even though Corona is always clean & ample, with both a smoking & non-smoking room (we prefer the smoking area because it is a much more open environment, even though we don't smoke). That which separates this restaurant from the pack is the people. The people working there are glad to be there, and they are glad you are there as well... and it shows in the quick & exceptional service you will recieve. We have been eating at Coronas for many years now, & have never gotten bad service or a bad meal.
To us, that speaks volumes!
