El Colima Mexican Grill - I got the breaded shrimp and asada . The rice was delicious and the shrimp was crunchy and perfect inside !! - Tacos Near Me - Fontana, California

It was mine and my families first and last time trying El Colima... The food was mid. The tomatoes in my burger were still ripe and hard. The lettuce looked old. The tortilla from my wife's fish taco completely fell apart but her being optimistic she still took a bite but the fish had a gummy sort of texture to it so my wife didn't even finish it... she only ate the rice and beans on her plate. Upon paying I mentioned it to the read more

Really good food!! I crave their rice & beans and shredded beef tacos mm mm mm and they are not stingy with the cheese so very delicious. Also when you eat there they plate the food so beautifully love this place and wish I found it sooner read more

Wait time to start is more then 20 min , the lady tries a little to hard to be nice to make up time , you have to ask for every single condiment as they lack command sense , taste is bland read more

Great customer service very welcoming good spot to eat at definitely recommend. We ordered tacos and two pozoles .the food was good

Holy moly. $5 burrito $2 fries turned into$13!!!!!!!!!!First time here. Last time here. How the heck does $7 turn into $10? With a $1 fee? It would have been nice if they mentioned it before swiping my card. Their credit/debit card machine is registered as a ATM so regardless of your bank account, they charge $2.50 for non approved bank atm transaction. Also this place charges $1 for debit/credit transaction. But the lady up front also charged me another $1 on top of all the fees. Plus tax of course. And no the food wasn't good. Which made this charge even more painful. STAY AWAY! read more

Food ok but it is hard to pay at the place. Atm and cash only. So make sure u visit bank before u go. Cooks did not have any masks on. Good luck. read more

First time coming in for lunch. I got a torta de asada with fries and an orange agua fresca soooooooo bomb. I called at 10:50 to make my order and they said 10-15 minutes, got there at 11:10 but still wasn't ready. Didn't get my food until 11:20. Point is maybe call 30 minutes before you go, if you have a 30 minute lunch like me, luckily I work around the corner. I still give them 5 stars though because they were very friendly, obviously short staffed and trying their best and the food was soooo good. I'd go back. read more

Fantastic ranchero's homemade tortillas homemade sauces homemade juices it did not disappoint

El Colima Mexican Grill - Yuck! - Tacos Near Me - Fontana, California

See all

This spot is a gem. Authentic homemade taste. Prices are very humble. I keep coming back to try new items on the menu. So far everything has been A+. The service here is the best, feel at home right as you walk thru the front door. My favorites have been the chorizo omelette plate and the asada nachos. The chips are amazing. Can't wait to try the Chilaquiles next. read more

This place is family oriented. They care about their customers and the service they offer. The owner and his wife are very special they make sure everyone is treated respectfully. The food is a cut about the rest. It's cooked to perfection and marinade in sizzling goodness. We had carnitas and carne asada fries and my son had tacos. All the food was delicious. We plan to return soon for another great meal. One of my best in the IE. read more

Pardon my ignorance of the style of food from the state of Colima, but I have never had a chile verde anywhere else where the fat cap from the pork is cubed up and tossed in with the meat. Their "Colima Burrito", which is carne asada and chile verde together, sounded good in theory until the first bite was dominated by fat. Thinking it was a random piece that wasn't culled, the second bite, was the same thing! I took it up to the counter and explained my displeasure with eating mouthfuls of pork fat and they looked at me like I was from outer space. The woman at the counter said "that's how it is, we mix the fat back in" and the older gentleman who I can only assume is the cook by his attire and place at the grill just shrugged his shoulders. They were nice about it and refunded us for the burrito, but their willingness to do that was the only redeeming quality. Everything else we ordered wasn't much better than the burrito experience. Their beans are so runny you might as well drink them. The relleno was obviously pre-made and then reheated from the soggy texture and lack of melty cheese inside. It was uncomfortable to eat inside because of the heat on a Late July Saturday at lunch time due to their inability or unwillingness to use the air conditioning. They also had this weird thing when paying with a card where they said they have to round up to the nearest even dollar amount and then they can give you the change for the difference. Just sounded scammy to me :-/ TLDR version - avoid! This is a rare occasion where Yelp reviews are way off base from my own experience. read more

The food is decent but they are very stingy with there food my girlfriend had ordered a breakfast burrito it cost 12 dollars when she got home I had seen that there was hardly anything in it so I had to make more eggs at home just to put in there This is the last time I'll be coming to this establishment read more

Great food and the beans are so delicious.. some people think beans are beans. I disagree. Not everyplace has delicious beans. The bean and cheese burritos are delicious. read more

Not very good. Carne asada fried tasted like they were made in a microwave. The foam box was even melted.

Wish I would've read these reviews before going here. Food was ok, nothing to brag about. Got their huevos rancheros. Then the cashier asked me if I had $.25 cuz my meal came out to $10.25 (paid by debit card). I said no. Then I proceeded to give her a quarter from my wallet. She said "ok, I only charge you $10.00.... in Spanish of course....3 days later I check my bank account and discover not only did she charge me $10.99 without telling me that there was a 'FEE" on top of the charge, but my bank also charged me #2.50 as a 'NON BOFA ATM WITHDRAWAL'!!!!!! WTF A NON BOFA ATM WITHDRAWAL????? That is a total rip off first that they don't tell you, second that they underhandedly charge it as an 'ATM WITHDRAWAL'! If you choose to go here, make SURE you check your receipt and ask questions or be prepared to see a different charge on your account than what they tell you at the restaurant. During this terrible pandemic, that is bad business when they do things like this to hard working people. If I ever decide to go here again, I will DEFINITELY change my mind if I don't have the cash on hand to pay. BEWARE OF THE EXTRA FEES IF YOU USE A DEBIT CARD! read more

This place is the most authentic totally home made great price great service tottally friendly service . its almost too good to be true . i can honestly say every single time i go in i tip them 2 to 5 dollars extra JUST BECAUSE . Guys keep it up Dont Change A Thing . read more

Do not pay with Credit Card they'll rip you off, a 5.95 burrito ended up costing me almost $14.00 (disputing the charge as I type) Also I had to throw away 1/2 of the burrito cause it was inedible. read more

Fast and incredibly service. Burritos and tacos are to die for so delicious. Chili Verde salsa always fresh and yummy. Employees always welcoming and thankful. I ordered 40 tacos and only took 25 minutes they gave us extra everything and made our little dinner party with family a rememberable time. read more

The friendliest spot ever! The people here are so nice. I love supporting this small business. I just moved to the area and am so glad I can hop in quickly for a delicious meal that tastes like home cooking. I come here several times a month. I have tried the caldo de res, caldo de pollo, pozole, burrito de asada, sopes, chile con carne, chile relleno with enchilada, and chilaquiles. The only thing I have not liked was the chilaquiles. The sauce tasted too sweet like curry somehow. Maybe they used mole sauce instead. But everything else has been so good! And handmade corn tortillas! I highly recommend coming here if you want a good meal and feel like you're at your tía's house. read more

Absolutely love the food and the workers every time we go there they always make us feel so welcomed we are as happy to see them as they are to see us I would eat there every day if I could and the cucumbers w chilie I die for those lol read more

This is the most absolutely amazing Mexican food ever I eat there at least once a week I love it there is nothing that I can say is bad but my favorite is the soft chicken tacos with green salsa it is so good. I would post a picture but they're never around for me to take one! I finish them up so fast read more

Good food. Nice to go to once and a while. Salsa and condemn bar is stacked. Rice a little plain.

I love their carne asada nachos. They're only $5 which is a steal and are indeed tasty. The chips are made fresh and the nachos are piled high with lots of meat and cheese. The toppings for the nachos come separate in a small container which is even better. No need to have soggy nachos. I've tried other things on their menu and the only thing I like is their nachos and sopes. Also, they do have a salsa bar with a variety of salsa, pickled onions and peppers which gives your food quite the kick. Customer service is great and if I call in my order ahead of time, my orders are usually ready in less than 10 minutes. I've also requested roasted peppers and the employees threw that in with my order with no problem. read more

El Colima Mexican Grill - Carne Asada Nachos - Tacos Near Me - Fontana, California

The people who work here are wonderful. They are friendly and it is a family type of business. I come back here mainly because of the people who work here. Some things here are delicious. Most are mediocre. The chips and red house salsa are killer. Taquitos are crisp, but very little filling. Their shredded beef is good and flavorful. Gringo style deep fried tacos are good. Avoid: All combinations come with a house salad which is rotting old lettuce and a cup of watery ranch. And for some reason there is always a ton of water in the bottom of the container. Beans and rice are very bland and have no flavor at all. Shredded chicken is very watery and bland. read more

Loved this place for years. Great food. Very reasonable priced. But went today and and add for looking for help was on the door. Girl behind the counter was new and had trouble. Placed my order, went outside for 10 minutes and came back in and everyone that was behind me, got their food first. I was patient and respectful. Got my food finally and it wasn't up to the same expectations. The daughter (I believe) that used to work there was the best and made sure everything was correct and done correctly. You lost a customer. read more
