Corona Airport Café

The Corona Airport Cafe was the perfect place to hold my birthday party. The food was amazing and the staff was wonderful. My guests and I were very impressed with how smooth it all went. This is a great place to have any type of gathering.

Really cool diner at a small airport! Classic diner food plus Mexican and Peruvian dishes! My favorite is The chilaquiles burrito, it’s so damn good. They also have great soups but my favorite is the potato soup on weekends!

I rode here with my church motorcycle group. We came for the first time to check out the cafe and the general aviation aircraft. The food did not disappoint. My fellow rider is an expert on chicken fried steak and he gave it a 2 thumbs up! This is a hidden gem but, maybe not because, it was a mob scene when we arrived. The also offer outdoor patio dinning so you can see the aircraft. Highly recommend this place!

Location, location, location! The name says it all. This was a nice place to eat. It was so close to being a 5 star rating but there were a few small things that I couldn’t overlook to give it that. But first, I enjoy trying new places. This one caught my attention because it is right by the landing strip of this small airport. The day we went was a midweek morning and it was unusually busy. We noticed the waitress was doing her best but she was busy. She was still friendly and courteous when it was our turn. The menu had a lot to offer! I went with the spicy omelette and that did not disappoint! Very flavorful and not over the top with heat. You must get the homemade salsa though- that made the meal even better. It was delicious and spicy and fresh!! The home style potatoes were good, but came out a bit cool and needed salt. That was a small thing but noticeable. The coffee comes not in a cup but a mug and it was great. Not sure what brand they use but this was quality and tasty. There is plenty of parking and you can watch planes land and take off right from the parking lot. The atmosphere and location were great, the service just a bit slow (maybe because of usually busy) food large portions and very good. The prices were great. I’ll go back as the menu and overall impression I was left with were very inviting!

Been coming here for a few years now and every time the food is amazing. This restaurant is airport themed. Every time I have been here the staff are friendly. Our go to food here is a Peruvian food called Lomo Saltaldo. They also have Mickey mouse shape pancakes for kids which I had ordered for my niece and nephew. I recommend this place to people of all ages.

Chilaquiles was ok at best, too bad it came out cold. The chorizo and biscuits were not memorable and also came out cold. The pricing on the menu was different from what I was charged. Could have been a nice greasy spoon place but the food was not quality. The service was good.

Perfect breakfast place to have a coffee and a waffle before a flight .. excellent customer service.. if you go here on the weekend, prepare to wait for a seat because this place is popular. Worth the wait.

We had heard good things about this restaurant and we finally made it here. Good “comfort” food. We had country fried steak and banana nut pancakes. Both meals are excellent. Stop and say have and enjoy a meal!

My friends & I commute from Long Beach for this gem of a place! Food is amazing & the staff is wonderful. My go to is the potatoes express, it's chef's kiss! Cassie is so friendly, always so joyful, & very attentive. We absolutely love her!

One of our favorite spot for breakfast or brunch. Cute cozy cafe in a unique setting by the Corona airport, with friendly service and tasty food. Fair price especially for the huge portion enough for breakfast the next morning. Been coming here for years and consistently had good experiences. Plenty of outdoor seating as well for dining with your furry companions.

We finally made it to Corona Airport Cafe and were pleasantly surprised that there's a second location now?! :o But this location is very charming! You can see the small airplanes coming in and out of the airport. There was a bit of a wait when we visited but we were able to be seated as soon as a table was ready for us. We tried the onion rings, lomo saltado, tuna melt, and the kid's lunch - chicken strips with French fries. The kid's menu came with little coloring activity and a small plane toy for them. It was so cute! The food here is delicious! I like the lomo saltado, the onion rings and the French fries were crispy and cooked well. The tuna melt was delicious! The bread was buttered perfectly and it tasted like garlic bread! So good! Even the kid's chicken strips were also decently fried and were a good portion for kids. The service here is immaculate. Our waitress made sure we had everything we needed and checked in on us a couple of times. Overall our family had a great time here! We'll definitely come back and will recommend to family & friends.

Corona Airport Café surprised me in the best way. The food was bomb, came out quick, and tasted homemade. Service? Beyond great -- everyone was super nice and on it. They even have rice and ground beef (unseasoned) for the doggies

The Airport Hashbrown Skillet on their menu is delicious here! Great Service as well. Known and highly supported by many of the locals around here but a hidden gem outside of the local area. Known for their delicious breakfast and they also have a good lunch menu as well.

We love the food their sandwiches are great. The ice Tea is made fresh daily I had 3 glasses . Service was fast & friendly. Lots of pictures planes on the walls plus you can watch them come and go on outside patio dining area as well.

Corona Airport Cafe is always consistently good. It's a reliable go to. The food is always tasty. This time I tried the skillet with chorizo gravy, delicious. Stepdad tried the chilaquiles, said they were tasty but the beans tasted canned. Service is always great. And the restaurant itself is very relaxed and decorated as you would expect being in an airport.

Food and service was amazing, can't wait to go again, they have many good selections on their menu, I look forward to trying. Service was prompt and they have real nice waitresses and servers!

This is definitely my comfort food place !!! Love love love their food and atmosphere!! They are pet friendly!! They even have a doggie menu I order delivery But I love going there more, the champagne sampler!! Love my chilaquiles !! Thank you airport cafe !!

Came during lunch with my kids. The staff was so welcoming. They sat us right away. Our server Tamara was super sweet, nice. Liz was super sweet came to check up on us and made sure we were okay and needed anything. Definitely will come for breakfast or lunch.

Today was my first time dining here. The service started out good. The inside of the place is cute. Outside is a little scary but once you walk in it's actually nice. But, we ordered a kids mickey Pancake combo meal. Another waiter brought us our food. My nephews plate had a steak. The waitress didn't come to our table until after like 10 mins. Then she shows up at our table and says, "that steak is not supposed to be on that plate." We had already picked at the steak for my nephew. And asks the other server, "get me a plate so I can take it." We tell her it's okay, we can keep it. She says, "oh, but it's going to be extra for the steak." After she is the one who messed up! We told her, "it's fine, we will pay." She said okay, walked away and then the other server brought us the bacon that we had originally ordered with the kids meal. And of course we paid for the entire meal. And the steak.

Amazing spot! The chilaquiles here are hands-down the best I've ever had perfectly seasoned, fresh, and full of flavor. The service is consistently warm and attentive, making you feel like a regular even on your first visit. I also love the unique decor it fits the non-commercial, small-airport vibe perfectly and gives the place so much character. Whether you're flying in, flying out, or just in the area, Corona Airport Café is absolutely worth the stop!

Thank you Elly for the amazing service. Went back a second time and the food was amazing. My boyfriend usually have a picky taste, but he really enjoyed the food both times. Tried multiple places lomo saltado but this is by far the best with a reasonable price. Would definitely come back. What's better is they also have a stamp card! Regulars get to enjoy 1 meal (i believe of up to ~$13) every 10 stamps! Someone recommended the churro toast. I will come back next time for that! One minor thing though. Please be mindful of what you ask for if you mind extra charges. You will not be told there will be extra charges (the salsa in this case). But we were told about "extra charge" for adding "fried steak" to our biscuit and gravy order. The fried steak was at ~$6 extra charge. Reasonable I'd say, but still, ask if it cost extra if you mind. This is the only reason why its 4 star review. Other than that, keep up the great work.

I've never been here before but came for my besties Dads birthday. Now I love a good airport restaurant and the food and service were great. Our server Stephanie was lovely and efficient and let us know the specials right away. She was filling our teas before we even knew we needed it!

3.5 stars I love a good mom and pop diner. This seems to be a local favorite. So of course, we had to check it out for ourselves! From the start, we felt the warm welcome. The servers came and checked on us frequently. A+ for hospitality. Our coffee mugs were always full and piping hot. Gotta love that! I've tried both the runway omelet and the pancake combo. The runway omelet had great ingredients and flavor, but I think they over did it with the cheese on top. Let's talk about their pancakes. They looked amazing and were generous in portion. The first few bites were great and then I started to notice that it needed more salt to balance out the baking soda. It tasted slightly bitter because of that. Also, the center was a little too gooey for my taste. If you're into butter, there's no shortage of that when they fried up the pancakes. The pancakes were on the greasier side. Just my honest opinion. I still love the vibe and the cozy feel. We'll be back to try something else next time.

Came here for breakfast yesterday with a friend of mine and had the pleasure of having Steph as our server. My friend had the waffles and I had the bonanza biscuits and gravy. Both were delicious! It was our first time at the restaurant so we had no clue what to order. The restaurant overlooks the smaller planes at the airport and inside was cute. Our server, Steph, was beyond helpful and gave her recommendations. She even helped me figure out what eggs I ACTUALLY liked so I ordered them correctly which was great. My friend is pregnant and almost due. Steph was so sweet checking in with us and wishing my friend luck with her delivery. I look forward to coming back and bringing my kids, they will love it!

This place is a nice little spot. Good food. Our server had dry humor but she was so funny! She made our dining experience nice! Definitely go give it a try!

Morning breakfasts with the kids, sitting at our favorite window booth watching the planes roll in, then we watch them roll away again... Food is always top! From traditional breakfast to the specialty plates, you'll never leave hungry. Portions are great for adults and kids plates! Mimosas are a must if you have no where to be and you don't need to drive! Service is special and always makes you feel like home! The inside definitely makes you think you want flying lessons, but also the small pictures and photos of Coronas history is especially fun to read no matter how often we are there! A must visit if you are passing through and saying hello!!!

Late Post This gem of a place never disappoints! My husband and I often find ourselves at Airport Café for a cozy Sunday breakfast or a laid-back lunch--and honestly, they serve some of the best comfort food in town! We also love the warm, homey, country-style vibe that makes every visit feel special. The chef always delivers, serving up classic American breakfasts and flavorful Mexican favorites with consistent quality. Some of our go-to dishes? The pozole soup, tuna melt, Bonanza biscuit, and their hearty burritos are all winners! And to top it all off, the friendly service from Tamara and Eric makes every meal even better. A huge THANK YOU to Ilio and his amazing team for letting me host a baby shower for 55 guests on Sunday, 5/4--it was the perfect venue for our western-themed celebration, little cowboy and cowgirl baby shower ! Ilio was incredibly professional, flexible, and a pleasure to work with from start to finish. I had Italian food catered through the restaurant, and my guests absolutely loved them ALL, especially the meat lasagna, veggies, and chicken Alfredo! I would 1000% recommend Airport Café for both catering and events!

Amazing food and service. Seating can be a little snug depending where they seat you.

Today my girlfriend Linda and I went to the Corona Airport, WHEN YOU EAT THEIR, THEIR IS A PARTY IN YOUR MOUTH, ITS AWESOME, THE PLACE MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU TOOK A STEP BACK IN TIME. You can see steam coming off the plate, when the food is put in front of you, and plates are cleaned up the service is awesome, servers are fantastic, and they remember their customers, and interact with them, the place is clean, tidy and in order. The food is fantastic , its a nice place to go all during the week, and especially on a Sunday after Church, I made a friend their, I just think this place is awesome, I just want to Thank them so much for what they do. Thank you Karen

I had a wonderful experience from as soon as we walked in! We all enjoyed our food (churro French toast, banana pancakes, veggie omelette, and iced coffee). The quality of the food an ambiance all added to a wonderful overall experience. The staff is friendly and accommodating, but the star of the show was our server Liz! She was very friendly and attentive. I had a lot of questions and she answered all of them cheerfully and thoroughly. I will definitely be back to this little gem!

If you want good comfort food, come down to this Corona Airport Cafe. It's a little hidden gem in Corona. I recommend the Peruvian Breakfast for a good brunch. Also recommended the Corona Airpot Fries as an appetizer. Ask for Cassie as your server. She is amazing and attentive. She will recommend are the good food.

Elly (our server) was AMAZING. She made us feel welcomed but also always had a smile. Great for families. Indoor and outdoor seating and food was the best I've had in a while. Quick and delish. Strongly recommend. Promise to include photos next time. We ate it so fast I completely forgot

Hello.. I'm hearing the cafe could be in trouble... I'm a native Coronian... And been supporting this establishment for years... Decades.. we enjoy the cafe... prices are expensive now... but aside from that it's very difficult to get in there now... it's a maze... it's hard for people to find their way in there... I remember Butterfield was always "Full" with the dog park ... etc. ... I think that's the reason... not easy to get to the cafe now... Hope all is resolved.. it would be a huge loss to see the cafe go..

We have been here a couple times and the food has always been great! Large portions, and delicious. We've only been for breakfast but we have always left feeling full and satisfied. It is cozy here, and service is always great.

I seen a flyer for this at my work so I wanted to try it out. Inside is decorated with lots of aviation stuff so that's pretty cool. It's a little cramped inside so just keep that in mind when dining in here. They do have a few outside seating as well. I ordered the chilaquiles and the chorizo and eggs breakfast. Both of the food was really good and had very good flavor. I enjoyed the chorizo and eggs breakfast the most and will likely be getting that again. The service was on the slow side for that day but the good food made up for it.

Atmosphere is cute Food could use a little work Staff were kind and attentive Overall satisfying

This place is a must go to breakfast place in the Corona area, has been in business for years. The service was great, their revolving servers are on top of the customer's needs. The food was tasty but did not like the $2.80 up charge for three tiny pieces of avocado. The onion rings were crunchy and delish but there was another upcharge. Asked for grilled onions for my meal but got raw oily onions instead, slightly cooked but not grilled, sweet or soft. The ambience was mix matched, flight decor but Hawaiian seats,

The food is to die for. The chilaquiles are the best in town! The coffee is good. The service is great too! All in all the perfect place to stop by for coffee.

The craving for familiarity of diner food . A simple Saturday lounging and lazy morning. We wanted to try somewhere we haven't been and decided on corona airport cafe. A great location for those after game meals for the family or to take the team. Or like us we didn't wanna cook. Quaint interior and a variety of seating areas to fit your preference. It has that small town feel. Great service. Was seated promptly, meals arrived hot in a timely manner. Food was as expected, decent and filled us up. Outside you can watch the planes while you enjoy your meal. They are doing some construction in the area. Hopefully the roads will be complete in the near future for more guests to enjoy a meal. If I lived closer I'd probably come for a second visit.

Was heading back to the Coachella valley but wanted to stop somewhere out in corona before dealing with traffic. Wanted to find something more hole in the wall than a major chain. Was not disappointed. I guess I could give it 4.5 if I nitpick. Just from the silverware not being completely clean, and the service was good . They forgot a part of my order, but like I said it's just me nitpicking. Food came out at reasonable time and I enjoyed my plate completely. I got the French toast with strawberry on top, with eggs and fruit. It all hit the spot. Everyone else I was there with enjoyed their food and what I like is their menu and what they have to offer. Meaning I wouldn't mind coming back to try other breakfast items and give their lunch items a try too. Inside it is nice and of course airplane themed since where it's located. So I thought it was really cool. The experience was a good one, especially since we were all hungry. Yes even though it was the day after thanksgiving. Would definitely like to try it again and recommend if in the area.

As promised! We came back and was blessed with Stephanie as our server again! She truly makes a difference by genuinely caring about her customers and service levels! However, when other people were helping us, their disposition wasn't so cheerful. This time we came for brunch with our eldest! As always, the food was so yummy! We sat in the main room this time. Spacious room, clean and bright. However, the lack of AC or fans made it a bit stuffy, so that hindered the ambiance. The churro french toast were a hot as usual! Definitely no need for syrup! The pancakes as usual... Are fluffy yummy fantabulous! Denver omelette was a bit runny but had a lot of flavor! Coffee kept coming and was hot!!! Woo hoo! Overall, the place still gets 4 Stars from us!!! We will definitely be back!

Wow! First time here and a great experience! There was a crowd waiting outside to dine indoors but since we wanted to sit on the patio because we had a dog with us it took only 10min to get seated. The host/assistant server was very attentive and had impeccable service and courtesy. Though they were busy they were still very kind and had a friendly and warm demeanor. Lizette, our server, was very nice and was also exemplary in her service. They even had a meat patty for $4 for my dog and a big water bowl (all meat and no rice/veggies that my dog usually leaves behind at Lazy Dog Cafe). I used to go to Lazy Dog Cafe for dates with my dog but now I'll be coming here. So much more warm in service, great food and better dog food. The ambiance is definitely unique- set within Corona's airport and aeronautical themed decor. Now for the real star...the FOOD! We got: -CHURRO FRENCH TOAST 5/5 -UNLIMITED COFFEE 3/5 -PERUVIAN BREAKFAST 5/5 Would definitely come here again and bring guests!

Great atmosphere, 1st time here. Didn't even know this cafe existed. Food was good will come back again

Food was amazing Server informed us of the different mimosas!!! Amazing Fun vibe A must try !!!

Service was friendly, fast, efficient. Food tasted great, had a menu of variance items.

Never a disappointment no what your order, the only thing I'd stay away from is the bloody Mary's

literally the best chilaquiles i've ever had, i just got finished eating breakfast there with my mother & we will definitely be returning.

Currently moving from Los Angeles to Riverside, decided to try this place out on the way to our new home. I have to be honest, I was blown away by the flavorful plates. I tried the Peruvian breakfast dish and wow chefs kiss. We were feeling bold so we tried the posole as well, the posole hit the spot.. The staff was very friendly and helpful, it had a diner feel to it, and they are dog friendly. We have found our go to breakfast place in Corona.

I can't express how wonderful of an experience my boyfriend and I had at this cafe for our first time! We happened to be driving past on the main road and just happened to notice their sign. Out of curiosity we pulled into the lot and looked up their menu and decided, "Why not!" All the staff was impeccably kind, attentive, and beyond helpful! The atmosphere was very cute and comforting. All the customers had big smiles as they were eating. Just an overall wonderful experience. And our food was PHENOMENAL. Every dish, every side, just everything was so delicious and fresh! We seriously can't wait to come back in to try something new!

Not bad at all! Had to come here to try out the famous CHORIZO GRAVY! That little skillet was so good that I didn't even stop to take a photo lol, but we also got some waffle dishes and the banana pancakes. Everything was quite tasty, must say that the chorizo chili was by far the best thing on the menu, everything else was solid. Would highly recommend that you stop by the iconic place when you're in the area, it's a major step above most diners. Just wish you could see more of the planes while dining, but hey I still went home very satisfied. Thanks!

The restaurant was busy and seems to be popular. Personally, I don't see the attraction. When we first arrived and were seated, it took so long for someone to ask about drinks that we thought about leaving. Once we ordered, service improved and became reasonably attentive. I ordered the French Dip and my wife ordered the Steak Tacos. The roast beef didn't have a lot of flavor and was slightly bland. The toasted bun was burnt around the edges and a little soggy on the bottom, possibly from being steamed. The au jus tasted good and added nice flavor to the sandwich. The French Dip was served with frys that were crispy and on point. My wife's tacos were nothing more than pieces of steak served on flour tortillas and didn't have any salsa or cheese on them. The did come with some salsa on the side. The meat had little or no seasoning and was very bland. The tacos also came with some salad on the side of the plate. Again it was nothing special. I may try this restaurant again but I'm not in a hurry to go back.

My family and I eat here about once a month. It is close to home, great food, and the kids love that we can see airplanes. I have tried a lot of different menu options, and have enjoyed every one.

The two stars is only because it was edible because I was hungry but honestly I should have just left I ordered this chorizo Skillet and an honestly look like cat s*** food.. absolutely horrid nasty crap maybe I wore the wrong thing but I doubt it it was overpriced and was just a pile of greasy hash browns with some type of cat food chorizo gravy with overcooked scrambled eggs on top and then cheap cheese melted sorry folks but you can do better than this don't read all the positive reviews not to mention for being at an airport it's pretty

First time trying this place for breakfast, I must say it was delicious. I ordered the Potatoes Express and Eggs Benedict was also ordered . Good size portions , delicious coffee & tea all tasted fresh . The service was good , and we were even offered free refills to go . I will definitely be coming back !
