The Best Restaurants in Coatesville

Coatesville's list is basically Lincoln Highway with numbers on it. Eight kitchens, sorted end to end.

Route 30 does the heavy lifting in Coatesville: birria with consomé for dipping at one address, jerk and oxtail with a loyal following at another. The one turn worth making is onto Strode Avenue, where a family diner has held down breakfast for years. We ranked eight, hoagie counter included, and we mean the order.

1

Little Chef

The family diner on Strode Avenue and a longtime Coatesville breakfast fixture. Big breakfasts up front, a lunch counter that stays busy after — and the rare pick here that isn't on Lincoln Highway.

152 Strode Ave, Coatesville, PA 19320

2

Alquisiras Restaurant

Mexican cooking on Lincoln Highway East, and by the review count one of the busier tables in Coatesville. Start with the tacos, then work down the rest of the menu.

735 Lincoln Hwy E, Coatesville, PA 19320

3

Jam Rock Caribbean Cuisine

Coatesville caribbeantakeout

Jamaican cooking on Lincoln Highway East — jerk, oxtail, and the rest of the island plate. The loyal review count says the neighborhood made up its mind a while ago.

144 Lincoln Hwy E, Coatesville, PA 19320

4

Willy's Family Restaurant

A family-style diner with 260-plus reviews behind it, which out here counts as a landslide. Come for breakfast or land anywhere on the all-day menu.

734 Lincoln Hwy E, Coatesville, PA 19320

5

Taqueria El Korita Birria y pastor

The menu is built around birria and al pastor, with consomé on the side for dipping. It sits on the east end of Lincoln Highway, and it's worth driving the length of it.

809 Lincoln Hwy E, Coatesville, PA 19320

6

La Tortuguita Dorada

A small Mexican spot on the 100 block of Lincoln Highway East, worth the stop for the tacos. Even the ordering site is tidy.

136 Lincoln Hwy E, Coatesville, PA 19320

7

Lincoln Pizza & Pasta

Slices up front, dinner plates if you take a seat. The menu says pizza and pasta and means it, right on Lincoln Highway East.

657 Lincoln Hwy E, Coatesville, PA 19320

8

Mariano's Towne East Deli

A hoagie counter on a best-restaurants list, and we'll stand by it. Sandwiches built for the lunch run at 717 Lincoln Highway East — no website, no need.
