I was really hungry so I made a quick stop at the closest food place I could find. Was super excited to see a mexican spot so I decided to give it a try. Firstly, the service was good! The lady behind the counter was really accommodating and patient. Second, food came out quick so that helps. Actual food review: I ordered the pork burrito and they gave me a decent amount of pork. However, there was a lack of rice, onions, and cilantro. Pork was super dry and bland, almost flavorless. I'd probably be willing to give it another try but with a different item in hopes of it being better next time. LA just has so many great mexican spots this one just didn't do it for me. read more

Food tastes good. I've been coming here for years. Prices are really high now. For almost $20.00 there should be more meat. read more

Amapola Rico Taco - Pork Fries - Mexican Near Me - Colton, California

Bean and cheese with pork gravy, my fave!!! The service was good , the girl behind counter was very nice .

Absolute heaven. One of the "holy grails" legit Mexican you can only find in the IE. Great folks, and consistent perfection. I live in Vegas where the Mexican food is awful, and I make pretty frequent 200+ mile trips to my hometown for the food! And Amapola's is usually my first stop. read more

You always know what you're gonna get at Amapola! Great tasting deliciousness. Prices are very reasonable! This is our go to!!

I don't know what's going on but amapola got a little cheap on my carne asada burrito. Usually they are decent size but the 1 I got was like del taco bean burrito. I really like their food but don't want to be ripped off. the pics might look like it's big but it was very skinny. read more

Our family has been enjoying the wonderful food from Amapola for MANY years and we usually have Sunday lunch from here at least twice a month. Their chicharron burritos are legendary in the Inland Empire for sure and we always love sharing an order of chunky meat fries! Highly recommend! read more

Saturday night we ordered food from here. I order a ground beef torta. The torta arrived and it wasn't how I was picturing jt. The ground beef has some kind of sauce on it. Anyway I ate it, it was good. However the torta didn't agree with my stomach the next day. I will never be ordering a ground beef torta from this place again. read more

Do not order a Carne Asada burrito unless you want to be disappointed and left hungry. The carne (meat) was not freshly made and not even hot. The burrito was mainly onions and cilantro. The flour tortilla was over grilled with portions burned and crumbled when bitten. Staff not friendly and lacked customer service skills. Cooking Mexican food is not rocket science, and I will not recommend anyone patronize this business. read more

We think this place has the best menudo around our area and also has good prices. We will be back soon read more

Amapola Rico Taco - Menudo - Mexican Near Me - Colton, California

I've been going to amapola for quite a while and they're tostadas, chile, relleno burritos, carne asada burritos, and pretty much everything else is delicious and I'm headed over there right now to get some fries chili, relleno burrito tostadas and tacos right now. Thumbs up % read more

@Karol- I ordered two carne asada burritos from 5th and Mount Vernon , San Bernardino location, and both were a complete disappointment. They were saturated in grease to the point of being disgusting. The first was just meat and beans, and the second had guac, sour cream, and pico--but both were way too greasy to eat. I expected better quality and consistency. Definitely not ordering burritos here again unless things improve. Obviously, you need to fix this. For now I'll stick to Taco Trucks. What happened to this place!! read more

I love amapola! But I've been coming here consistently for three years and the same older Latina waitress that works in the morning/ day shift always looks like a sangrona and irritated when I come in to order. My husband says it's because I don't speak Spanish to them but that's like so discriminatory if she's acting like that because of that that's crazy to me oh well she ain't gonna stop seeing me read more

It was my first time here. My co-worker has been there and told me she loved it. I ordered the cabeza burrito. It was extremely lackluster in flavor. Hardly any meat, it looked like an extra large flauta. Will never go back. With SO many other Mexican food options they need to step it up. read more

Great micheladas and really good menudo. I would definitely return. Service is fast and efficient. It's a small dive place but it's very well worth the wait. read more

Hands down the best fast food place that serves Mexican food I was raised in the IE & then moved to LA; they don't have Mexican food like this out in LA. So i came back to the IE . Huge fan of their chileverde burritos (: read more

This is the worst menudo I have tried. The meat was over cooked, the meat was not clean, and the menudo smelled. If you know how to make menudo it's a process and the meat should be cleaned well before cooking it. Will never be coming back for menudo here. I recommend Tacos El Primo in Bloomington for a more authentic and delicious menudo. Service at the register was great! Person is very polite. read more

Green enchiladas platter was served today and it was filling. I didn't expect to get full but I did. The beans were amazing and the rice was good. Good blend of cheese and white onions. You can add any meat for additional cost, but original is best. The only flaw was the temperature of the enchiladas seemed cold compared hot beans and rice. Small setback but noticeable. I think next time I will ask to heat up for 30-45 seconds. read more

Sooooo, I am guessing that there were enough complaints about the service here that someone listened. I want to provide an update. We LOVE the customer service now. The cashier that starts at 4:00 (I'm sorry that I never asked her name) is amazing. She knows us what we order. She's kind, courteous, and very attentive. The quality of the food was never in question. It's still very delicious. We are back to going every Tues for dinner and sometimes extra days for lunch or dinner. read more

Very unpredictable with their burrito's or just stingy with their beans , this is the third time visiting and I order a hot pork burrito with beans and I receive a all pork burrito with no beans but yet they charge me for beans , kind of disappointing . read more

Always know what you're gonna get! Love the bean & cheese with pork gravy!! Beef taquitos, green chile burritos but add beans because for some reason they do not put beans in their burritos read more

Hello once again I'm leaving a comment on one of my most favorite Mexican restaurants in San Bernardino county amapola Rico on baseline in San Bernardino myself and my daughters came to your restaurant yesterday which was December the 16th we ordered $80 worth of food we live in Victorville now so when we come down there to eat at Emma Puerto Rico taco we spend gas money we spend money and one of the favorite things that I used to like to eat at your restaurant was the chichidons and Port chili verde well whoever cooked it yesterday or the night before they burnt some of the meat because you could taste the flavor of the burnt meat in it Plus it was the driest Port jelly Verde I've ever had and that's a lot of money to spend to come at a fast food Mexican restaurant and this is what you get yeah we spent $80 in come on you guys can do better than this is it time for you guys to close down you change the inside you have your Sunday smorgasburg which is limited but expensive and we get the flavor of burnt pork chile verde and dry come on come on Valerie Lee 7602176510 read more

Right when I think I've eaten at all of them, I found another one. Great food great service very clean.

Food is good, but you will likely be dinning next to a homeless person. The staff doesn't seem to care that they sit inside, eating food not ordered there. If you can stand eating your chile verde burrito with frequent whiffs of homeless smell, then this is your spot. read more

Good portions, good food and great prices. Vibe is nice, people leaving bad reviews are definitely expecting too much for what you pay for! I will definitely be frequenting regularly. read more

The best carne asada tacos! We like eating there as much as we can. They changed the look on the inside recently, looks really nice. The service has always been top notch, from the lady who takes our order to the speed the food is ready. Highly recommend! read more

I was craving the pork fries and decided to place a small order. When I opened the container there was not enough nacho cheese. When I asked for some cheese the cashier told me they portion their servings and if I wanted more cheese I had to pay $1.09 for 2 oz of cheese. Mind you I had already paid $9.52. COME ON NOW!!! How about you do the right thing and add the fair and proper amount of cheese and meat portions for the price you are paying !!! I was so focused with the lack of cheese, my fries were dry that I didn't notice the ONE piece of pork until I got home. I'll be skipping this business from this day forward. Shame on you!! read more

My last few trips to Amapola have been great. Great tacos de chicharron, great micheladas. Service was great.

Santiago provided me excellent customer service, he went above and beyond to make sure my food was ready! And all the guys in the kitchen did an excellent job! Great food and customer service! read more

The food is good, but some other workers are very rude, there's a guy that works there, I'm a regular customer, always give a tip, the other day I asked about can I have so many hot sauce, the guy working there, said he can only give me some many, because you said I waste some of it the other day, so I noticed, he usually have the hot sauce and napkins, near the register, for the customers can get some, and then I noticed that he took the hot sauce tray, and the napkins, and he put it behind the coke machine, not going there again.. read more

I love the food and the service , but today I had a worker take my order named Denica that was bothered and annoyed taking orders . I was a bit disappointed as I drove a bit just to come here . read more

If you ever had an all pork burrito back in the day from Amapola, the FIRST one on Mt. Vernon and 6th St. then you'll know what I'm talking about. Although they come close to the original recipe it's just not the same. I've given the one in Colton a chance to come through but the flavor is just not there. It's been a long while since I've gone to the one on Mt Vernon. Good Service and cool taco stand Vibe at the Mt Vernon and Colton locations. Don't know when but I'll keep giving them a chance to redeem themselves. read more

This is for the Colton location. I absolutely love the carne asada tacos here! We live up the hill, and because of Friday traffic, we had to find a place to eat dinner before we drive up. This place is great to sit down and eat in peace. I see a lot of people pick up their orders too, so they do that. We eat here every Friday. Five tacos each. The horchata is good as well. The lady who takes our order is always nice. Always great to see a happy face behind the counter. Amapola has an extensive but not crazy menu on the wall, but I love the tacos so much I haven't tried anything else. Also, they give you nice thick slices of grilled onion, even though the tacos already come with fresh diced onions (and cilantro, and finely chopped cabbage), sticking them in the tacos makes them much more delicious! Oh, they have red and green salsas to put on your taco. I find the red one too hot, so if you're new, I'd start off with the green first. Amapola makes me look forward to Friday's. read more
