Clayton's Mexican Takeout

Classic retro walk-up window tucked behind Clayton's 1940s diner where surfers, locals, and naval aviators order hearty beach food.

About Clayton's Mexican Takeout

Tucked directly behind the historic Clayton's Coffee Shop on 10th Street, Clayton's Mexican Takeout is the island's ultimate grab-and-go burrito institution. Known far and wide for the massive Coronado Burrito packed with marinated grilled carne asada, crispy golden fries, melted cheddar jack cheese, and fresh creamy guacamole, it is the premier stop for beach picnics.

Local Dining Tip: Call ahead or order at the walk-up window, then take your warm burritos two short blocks west down 10th Street to watch the sunset from the Central Beach seawall.
