Clayton's Coffee Shop

Frommer's Review

The Hotel Del isn't the only relic of a bygone era in Coronado -- just wait until you see this humble neighborhood favorite. Clayton's has occupied this corner spot seemingly forever, at least since a time when everyone's menus were full of plain American good eatin' in the $4 to $5 range. Now the horseshoe counter, chrome barstools, and well-worn pleather-lined booths are "retro," but the burgers, fries, and turkey noodle soup are timeless and quite good -- plus you can still play three oldies for a quarter on the table-side jukebox. Behind the restaurant, Clayton's Mexican takeout kitchen does a brisk business in homemade tamales.
