Por eso Hornero ofrece más de dos docenas de pizzas diferentes en su menú, desde la clásica Margarita hasta innovadoras combinaciones, como la pizza de Camarones Enchilados o la de Mole Poblano.

    Great service and seating around the chef counter was a bonus. You can see all the cooking action right in front of you. The wagyu carpaccio was the highlight of the night. It just melts in your mouth. The organic pear salad was also great for sharing. However the aged duck breast and the dry-aged bone in ribeye had some tendons and chewy parts that is unable to swallow.

    We were seated immediately. The table they sat us at was great and very comfortable. The food was excellent but the real star was our server Mandy. She went the extra mile to make our anniversary dinner special and memorable. It was a great experience.

    What can I say? This is easily one of the best happy hour spots in San Diego! The ambiance is stunning, the service is outstanding, and the food is absolutely incredible. We had yet another fantastic experience here, this time for an early dinner to celebrate my kid’s birthday. The oysters were incredibly fresh, the Japanese sweet potatoes are a must-try, the fish and chips were amazing—so fresh and moist—and the clam chowder was perfection. The smoked trout dip wasn’t my favorite this time, but it was still a solid appetizer. Our server, Mike, was exceptional—attentive, polite, and spot-on with his food recommendations. We’ll definitely be back, and if you’ve never been to this place, make a reservation now. You can thank me later!

    We had an amazing experience at The Henry. The booth was extremely comfortable which is very important to me. Our waiter was very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Upon knowing that we were celebrating my birthday and our anniversary he gave us a complimentary glass of champagne. We ordered the short rib pot stickers and egg and bacon salad which were delicious. I had the rotisserie chicken- amazing, Mac and cheese -divine and my husband had the filet- perfection. Then they gave us a complimentary chocolate fudge pie for dessert. Overall one of the best experiences we’ve had In Coronado. Highly recommend!!
