Corona Airport Cafe Express
1161 Hidden Valley Pkwy, Corona, CA
Crema's Take
“This bright, welcoming neighborhood diner has earned serious love for its housemade chorizo gravy and authentic chile verde dishes, which reviewers consistently praise as the real standout. Beyond coffee, it's a genuine gathering spot with friendly counter service, weekday lunch specials at $10, and the kind of clean, cheerful atmosphere that makes both solo coffee runs and group meetups feel special. Perfect for a quick breakfast before heading out or settling in for a longer catch-up over genuine, satisfying food.”

Came to Corona Airport Cafe for the first time this morning after my wife watched their report on the channel 7 News. I got the chilaquiles verdes and they were bomb. My wife got the chorizo gravy skillet and she loved it. My son got the pancakes and they're worth the price, they are huge. Over all the staff is amazing and good atmosphere. Coming back for sure to try other dishes.
Been wanting to try airport cafe for a while. But never get out thay way. Express is right near cvs and convenient. The country fried steak was good but the chorizo country gravy was the real star. Smokey and flavorful!
I had the pleasure of dining at the cafe for a networking event. I ordered the chile verde bowl and it was great. It had a decent amount of spice and the meat was tender and good quality. The other bowl was a chicken bowl, also good flavor and a bit of spice. Their fried zucchini side was huge. Best of all, we had fast, friendly service. Next time I plan to try their coffee, they had a lot of options. The place is a little hidden gem, definitely worth a visit.
Great little spot to catch a quick meal. Friendly staff and great coffee and food. Weekday lunch specials are a deal for $10.
This is a small diner with 6 tables as well as counter seating for 3-4 people. The inside is very clean and has a welcoming vibe. The servers were pleasant and had smiles on their faces. They offer fountain drinks, canned drinks - including energy drinks and also have a variety of coffee drinks served hot or iced. You won't be disappointed. You order your food at the register, seat yourself, grab your own disposable utensils & napkins, and enjoy your food! Simple and it works! The chilaquiles were good. Just enough spice so that it's not overwhelming. The serving sizes are larger than average for just about every meal I saw brought out. My food was definitely enough to share. They have QR menus available and you can order ahead. The food came out pretty quick and was very hot. The restaurant is located in the back of the CVS shopping center off Hidden Valley Pkwy & El Paseo - on the Norco side or Parkridge - on the Corona side). They have a "Prayer Board" where you can leave prayer requests on a sticky note. I would recommend!
