About Night & Day Cafe
Serving Coronado since 1927, Night & Day Cafe is the longest-running restaurant in the Crown City. Famous for blending American diner nostalgia with rich Southern California Mexican comfort, diners slide into cozy booths for crispy hash browns, chorizo scrambles, and the legendary Mario's Surf & Turf burrito.
Local Dining Tip: Sit right at the diner counter to watch the cooks work their magic on the flat-top griddle. Try the Huevos Rancheros with homemade ranchero salsa.
