Translated to "The Chicken Corona Grill" for you gringos, this place is known for its smokey flavored chicken and tri tip. I had the wet chicken burrito that comes stuffed with rice, beans, sour cream, cheese, and a little bit of chicken. I would've liked more chicken in my burrito but I understand they're trying to keep costs down for both themselves and customers. Two burritos and two drinks with free chips and salsa was all only $33. I am not a fan of whole pinto beans in my burritos and prefer refried, but the beans were not too bad, definitely a magical fruit though, the more I eat the more I toot. I tried the Jamaica and Horchata, both were good. The salsa is mild, almost bland, so I asked for a side of hot sauce. I poured this disappointingly small cup of hot sauce on my burrito and it added a nice spice, or so I thought. After a brief pause to take a sip of my drink and remind myself I have to chew as I tend to always be in a hurry, I felt a tingling on my lips. Then that tingling began in the rest of my mouth. I quickly realized why they give you such a small cup of hot sauce when my nose began to run and my eyes began to water. Like a looney tunes episode, I imagined my ears began to smoke and fire shot out of my mouth. I looked at the cup and saw the little chili pepper seeds laughing at me. I started to chug horchata to put the flames out. I'm no weakling so I kept at it, bite after bite, and the heat began to subside, I must have just gotten too many seeds in my salsa. Soon I was happy there was more rice in the burrito than anything because it was a welcome relief, like baking soda on a grease fire. I ended the meal by eating all the chips, and some of my wife's burrito to extinguish the flames. Stuffed to the point of immobility, I wasn't disappointed with trying out this spot. The service was fast and friendly. The portions were large, and the price was right. I can see why people like this place though I'm not sure it's what I crave when I want Mexican food. Well that's this critic's review, until next time, I'll be eating. read more

First time here 4-2-22. The food here is really good. The seasoning on the chicken delicious! The tri tip is more like carne asada but it is really tender. The salsa was really good better than pollo loco in my opinion. Indoor dinning is limited but they do offer outdoor dining. The flour tortillas tasted like they were homemade but I'm not 100% sure about that. read more

Excellent service, and even more so excellent Tri-Tip!! All the food is excellent. Quick and friendly service.

This place has been around for many years, great people, great food. Always fresh and made to order. Pork chop is very tender and flavor. Can't forget the tri-tip and chicken. All around great food. Highly recommend the Corona special if you're really hungry!! read more

A good friend on the west side of Simi told me I needed to try their combination (tri-tip and chicken) burrito, so I did. I'm quite happy to say that it was very good advice. This burrito was full of flavor and as far as was possible put a smile on my face. You can order this amazing burrito dry or wet and as good as "hand held" can be I think next time I'll try it with the red sauce as that looked quite good as well. My only advice is get the burrito as it comes, or you'll confuse the cooks; the poor counter lady seemed to have to explain our order more than once. My wife asked for hers wet with no beans and what she got was just chicken and rice, no beans, but no cheese and tri-tip either. We were already back on the eastside of town when we noted what had happened so it was what it was. She liked the chicken enough, but wanted tri-tip too so I gave her some of mine. She enjoyed the food too, so it ended okay, just not perfect. Everything is cooked to order, they sell beer too, so any wait (and there will be a little of that), is well worth the time invested. I'd recommend this place to any normal person who digs tasty grilled meats wrapped in a fresh tortilla surrounded with salsa, beans, rice and cheese; how can you miss, burrito is a food group after all? Cheers! read more

Tasty chicken. Beans were tasteless. Good price for what you get. Fast service. Small place only good for take out.

This is the best chicken place around and affordable prices. Chicken, rice, beans and tri tip are top notch! My family orders the family chicken meal and feeds up to 8 of us for $60. can't go wrong with that! service is great too. I would recommend ordering before if you are picking up since they do get busy. read more

One of the tastiest chicken I ever ate!!! Juicy and tender as well. Flavors were popping on the first bite. The chicken by itself needs no sauce to make it more savory. Im not a big in to tortillas so I ordered a good amount of Mexican rice. If you want to eat fast, the orders come out quick. I mean you're eating within few minutes after you order. Nice and hot fresh off the grill. They have varieties or combinations of meals depending to your likings. Dining area is not so big comparing to normal restaurants but it's doable. Best is to order to-go and enjoy it at home, at the park or in your car. No matter where you decide to consume the delicious grilled chicken, one bite and everything around you is irrelevant. read more

Local spot, friendly staff and tasty dishes. I got their catering for this past Christmas to serve buffet style and everyone loved it.

Good food overall and will keep coming back but a lot of times, they run out of food (by noon). The Horchata does sucks tho, it's very sugary. Hummm Service is good and friendly but the restaurant sometimes lacks of cleaning which is the reason I have never sat there to eat, I just go eat in the car. read more

Imagine a backyard mexican family bbq and they know how to cook. Simple menu but delicious

Food was great. Delicious and perfect. Reasonably priced. The service was exceptional! We will debe back.

This is the only restaurant in Simi that never disappoints! The food here is delicious and authentic. The employees and the owner are always friendly. Best of all, they are fast to get the food out. As good as the chicken and tri tip are, my favorite item is their rice. It's freshly made with homemade sauce. The salsa is pretty good too, it goes great with the chicken. read more

The food is amazing but they skimp you on the family pack they fill the rice beans & salsa 60% of the full size cup & when you ask it cost extra to fill the top literally false advertisement lol you always have to ask for plates & utensils & napkins & if you want jalapeños you have to ask they don't go the extra mile to make you happy especially spending almost $100 on the family platter. I weighed the tri tip & they don't even give you a pound it's like .8 .9. read more

Still my favorite place to get a burrito! And the salsa is constantly fresh and perfectly spicy! read more

Great spot for a quick lunch! My coworker referred me to this place and suggested I try the chicken and tri tip combo plate but as soon as I saw the tri tip wet burrito on the menu I had to go for it. The food came out before I finished paying, it was really fast which makes it great for a lunch break. It's a decently sized spot with indoor and outdoor seating and if you're not going back to work they serve beers (it was tempting). I sat outside and enjoyed the delicious and good sized burrito with the incredibly fresh chips and salsa they threw in. Staff was friendly and followed up to see if I wanted anything else after I sat down, I'll be back. read more

Place is always amazing. Go to is the tri tip burrito. They have the best salsa and are always welcoming and wonderful.

I can't say enough about the food and the service at El Pollo Corona. I've been going here for years now, hands down the fastest place to get food (especially if you're hangry!). The burritos are amazing, their red sauce is just the best. My fiancé also loves their quesadillas. The people working there are always the sweetest. The ambiance is always positive, the people working are friendly and quick. A restaurant that I hope never leaves Simi! read more

The food was good but the service was terrible. The older woman who works the register was extremely impatient. I knew what I was going to order and was prepared but after each item she barked "is that all?" I ordered 10 things and I stopped ordering because of her bad attitude. It wasn't that busy but she just seemed so bothered that she had to even speak to me as she took my order. Next time I'll go someplace else. Geesh... read more

This is our second time and it was excellent, food was good ( take out ), good customer service , clean place , will be back . Ordered the whole chicken , tri trip and few sides . Cebolla morada as side best one . read more

Gina is amazing! She is fast and efficient at the front counter. The food tastes great and is always fresh. I normally order a family meal which is a huuge portion and is fairly priced given the quality and amount of food you receive. read more

I love this place! The chicken and tri tip are super bomb. Salsa and beans are both really good. The ordering process can be a little intense at times but the food comes out fast and is delicious. The owner is super cool and the cashier girls are very quick and efficient. read more

Delicious, affordable and most of all they are very accurate with the to-go orders. They can handle any order even with short notice.

Customer service was great, but my chicken burrito was underwhelming. I expected more flavor as I asked for a grilled chicken, maybe that was my mistake. I think it only had one thigh and so most of burrito was bland rice and beans. read more

The best tender and juicy grilled chicken. Love the flavor and rice. Super fast service.

I've been coming to el pollo corona grill (it was el pollo norteno before) for probably 16-18 years. I've since moved out of simi and recently revisited for the first time in a few years and wow, amazing as ever. Get the combo chicken and tri tip and enjoy. read more

Our favorite place to get chicken. We love coming here. The burritos and plates are amazing.

First, I am so disappointed in myself that I have passed by this place for YEARS and never went in. I literally just had the most tender, juicy, flavorful carne asada I have ever had in my life. For about $11, I got a plate of carne asada, chicken, tortillas, beans, salsa & a large orange Bang. Everything was perfect. The service was amazing. I highly, highly recommend this little place. Enjoy some nice Mexican music playing on the overhead speaker, while sitting on the patio having some of the best carne asada of your life !!! read more
