I know that Costco may offer a cheaper deal on the chicken but this is legit . Coming off the rotisserie their chicken is always juicy and flavorful . It comes with 3 medium sides but we went for 2 large . The potatoes salad and the rice were perfect compliments to each other . Very cordial staff and super quick 5 minutes to prepare the meal . If the locals go there it must be good ! read more

Juan Pollo - Large rice Large potatoes salad The whole chicken cut up for us - Mexican Near Me - Cathedral City, California

Oh my friggin' Lord, usually to get chicken this good you have to go to some secret underground place run by the Peruvian mob, but hey, here we have a chain fast food place that has exceptional chicken. The pieces are large, they're incredibly juicy, incredibly tender, amazingly flavorful. The wood flavor is there, the savoriness is there. Their salsa is kick-ass, and even their rice is beyond good, not the Spanish rice you get other places, but something that feels special, even though it's probably just little bits of chicken, some herbs, and some bouillon. It's damn good. I am convinced, and this is now my chicken place here in the Palm Springs area. I will happily travel to Cathedral City to buy this chicken, some of the best I've ever had. Service was very friendly, and ambiance, well, it's a fast food joint, but it was a clean place, and I have no complaints. read more

Small Hispanic style chicken shop with a good vibe. Their chicken is so good and fresh and the sides are great...especially their potato salad. Service was quick and friendly. We will be back next time we're in town read more

Went there before the store was closed was gonna place an order when I opened the door. They informed me that they closed so I called back and I said can I speak with the manager? They said the manager I asked if the manager was aware that they close earlier they said oh I'm sorry we don't have any more chicken. It's a chicken facility so that means you should've made sure you had enough chicken poor customer service. They were just mopping the floors and cleaning up and they were just actually ready to leave early. You shouldn't actually close the doors until the facility is closed. I wouldn't recommend. read more

Chicken was great, service was friendly and fast, and the prices are great. You can dine in, but I prefer take-out and there is little to no wait. Will return on Tuesdays for their 2-chicken special for sure! read more

It was our first time to eat here. We came here for lunch right after we got off work. I ordered the Chicken Quesadilla, an Orchata drink (refillable!) and the others a 2 piece Chicken Meal (thigh & leg). The service and food were amazing! I highly recommend this place! Thank you so much for a great experience! read more

Been eating juan pollo for 25 years and this is a great location with friendly staff. They read order notes when ordering online as well which is nice. I would say my only gripe is the potato salad isnt quite right. Juan pollo is famous for its potato salad and I used to live in upland, CA and go to a location there where it was delicious. It feels like its too dry and is usually lacking in seasoning/flavor. It's not quite the correct corporate recipe. Everything else has been good. Though there's been a good few times I've gotten rice thats had no chicken or green onion in it. So that could be worked on to. Anyway. Idc that much. I still put 5 stars as I always enjoy my chicken tortillas and salsa anyway. Thanks! read more

I just discovered the beauty of Juan Pollo. Perfect for a healthier fast food option. The chicken and sides are always fresh. I can't resist their potato salad and the tortillas are on point. They have a small selection but what they do make is perfected. You can usually find a coupon in a monthly mailer but even without it is reasonably priced for a family meal. read more

Excellent food ,great authentic food and friendly carrying staff. Eat in or we often take out if I'm just passing by. read more

My husband and I are from the SF Bay area and everytime we travel to Palm Springs, we always order from Juan Pollo. The rotisserie chicken is absolutely fall off the bone and packed with flavor, and I frequently get the Juan bowl which is so fresh and delicious (the rice is outstanding!). Our dinner tonight was no exception - amazing as always:) thank you!! read more

Last time I was in SoCal I enjoyed El Pollo Loco. Now that I've moved to the Coachella Valley, I decided to try Juan Pollo based on their Yelp reviews. I am so glad I did. This location off Ramon Road is easy to access and has a nice, semi-shaded parking lot. The counter person was super friendly. We ordered a half-chicken with three sides, I think it was just over $16, very reasonable. The chicken was so tender, falling off the bone. Just delicious. The sides (we got two beans and one rice) were also very good. Juan Pollo will be our go-to spot for chicken from now on. read more

Tried this place out for a weekend lunch and got their rotisserie chicken salad bowl. Food was good and fresh, perfect for a hot day. The portions were large and good for 2 meals. Service was okay, there were a couple tables for seating inside but most people seem to take out here. Plenty of parking in the area. read more

I really like Juan Pollo. The chicken was so fresh and cooked perfectly. The staff is very nice and friendly. I have ordered through DoorDash a few times. I like that they seal the to go bags with a tamper seal. It always arrives hot and my order is always correct. Great deal for great food and prices. read more

Another great find in the desert area. Can never go wrong with Juan Polo. Consistent taste at every spot regardless of location. Fresh off the press chicken and tasty rice, beans and tatersalad and hot to order tortillas, yes I said it tatersalad lol. Customer service was excellent all the way from entry to exit. Small establishment prepared to stuff even the biggest belly. Cleanliness wow thr bathroom was clean then when i came out a lady went in to clean it again for the night. #Impressive. They were cleaning the establishment for the night I'm guessing but they were digging deep you hear me. Stainless steel wiping stuff, sweeping , mopping, windows. I'm like ok J.P keep things in order then shoot Highly recommended location for good chicken. read more

First time coming to this location as they wernt out here last time I visited. I enjoyed the chicken I got a breast and wing a la cart and a Hard shell chicken taco. The taco was full of meat and plentiful for 2.99 it came with some tasty salsa too! Im sure some people may want a bit more seasoning on the taco meat.. but thats easy to fix with a bit of Salsa and Lemon!! Yumm The breast and wing were cooked to perfection and they wernt overpriced! The Service was Great also I had no complaints and felt that the cashier was attentive and took my order carefully. The Ambiance is super chill and friendly it makes a great place to go at any time!! Glad I stopped at this new location and I look forward to coming back next time im in town. Check this place out if your looking for something like El Pollo loco but 1000x Better!! read more

This was a large take-out order so ambiance does not really pertain. Service was very good.. advising on what would feed how many people. Food was terrific, muy auténtico, and all of our guests were impressed. Thanks for offering great food and good value. read more

To die for mouth watering rotisserie chicken. I swear I don't know what they season the chicken with but it must be crack. The food here beats El Pollo by a lot. This place is amazing, the sides, the chicken, service...it's all fantastic. The owner is the nicest guy and his staff are all welcoming and friendly as well. Love having a chat with him when I come in, super good guy. FOOD: 10/10 Incredibly tasting chicken. Must have. SERVICE: 10/10 Friendly staff, friendly management, overall great experience. PARKING: 10/10 Lots of places to park. This is a hole in the wall location so don't miss out. CLEANLINESS: 10/10 Place has always been clean when I've been in. SEATING: 8/10 This is more of a grab and go kind of shop, but they do have seating with access to utensils, etc. Every time I've been here I've been able to grab a seat if I'm dining in. GLUTEN-FREE: If you're avoiding gluten as I am (I'm allergic), then you'll be happy to know everything here other than the flour tortillas is gluten free! Just ask for corn tortillas and you're good to go! Must have for gluten free individuals. Verdict: If you love chicken, then this is a must have. read more

Love the food here. The rotisserie chicken here is so good. I love how simple and delicious the sides are too. They are just right and perfect for me and obviously several other people by the reviews. Been back a few times since my last review. I hated to write that, but since it's one of my favorite places for rotisserie chicken, it needed to be addressed. Hope they keep up the great work and continue making delicious chicken. read more

My first time at any Juan Pollo. I heard great things about it so I was excited to go. There was plenty of parking and the store is clean. We were greeted warmly and the service is quick. We took our food to go. I definitely appreciated the packaging of the food. The side dishes all had lids, nothing was dripping down the side of the bowls. Sadly, the chicken is dry. It has flavor but is dry. Im bummed about that. I really like the potato salad and the tortillas! I'll try it once more with the hopes I'll be able to give 5 stars. We shall see. read more

Husband and I have food poisoning from eating here. We even gave some chicken to our dog as a treat in her dinner, and she ended up with diarrhea the next day. We had to cancel a trip because of it. First and last time ordering from here. read more

Was visiting from Phoenix and stopped by to place an order to go. This spot is delicious - the chicken had great flavor, the mashed potatoes and beans were very well seasoned. The rice was a little bland but I was very happy with the food overall. The spicy salsa was spicy but in a good way! If I lived in the area I'd come by at least a few times a month. I highly recommend. The staff was friendly and attentive - didn't even wait 5 mins for the order. read more

My go-to for comfort Mexican food delivery. I love to add the leftovers to other dishes too!

Juan Pollo is one of the best tasting casual dining places that I know. For a chain, it beats a lot of the others out the park! The rotisserie chicken is cooked to perfection. The yellow rice is really good which has bits of shredded chicken in it. The beans are also really good and include a lot of flavor. But the potato salad is to die for. I literally crave just that sometimes! You can dine in or order take out. They offer individual meal combos for around $8 and up, family meals for about $25 and up which includes a whole chicken, 3 large sides, salsa, and tortillas, and catering options for big parties. The deals are pretty good. Not pricey at all. The customer service is really good here too. Every time. And they also get the orders together really fast and correct. Every time. You should try it sometime! read more

Recently had a Birthday Party and decided to try Juan Pollo for catering the food. I was a little nervous ordering online two days in advance, but I gave it a shot. Fast forward to the big day. The food was prepared right on time, packed perfectly for pick up, the service was very friendly and efficient, and lastly, the food was amazing!!! They are going to be my catering choice from now on. Incredible. Myself and everyone was more than happy!! Thank you. read more

This is by far the tastiest rotisserie chicken I have ever had in my life (and I'm 70 years old). The spices are addictive, the skin is crispy and the meat is juicy and tender. And as others have said in reviews, I kinda laughed at Mexican potato salad but it is so good! And I wish I had not found out how yummy their cinnamon crisp is--I'm going to have to go on Ozempic if I keep ordering it. I was not familiar with this place although it is close to where I live. It just popped up on Uber Eats. I will definitely be ordering many more times and/or going there. read more

First time stopping by this hidden gem in Cathedral City, off of Ramon Rd near Date Palm intersection. Not much ambience for dining in; I assume take-out is 90% of their business. Let me tell you, they have takeout rotisserie chicken locked down like magic! Ordered 1/2 chicken w/ sides (rice & beans) as well as a chicken bowl. Both items were hot, fresh and very tasty AND the order was ready in less than five minutes. The chicken was tender, well spiced and hot. The beans were whole pintos, which we like. The rice was the only disappointing item as it was seasoned unevenly with chicken bullion and that's all. The chicken bowl included all items of the chicken meal mentioned above, but packed up in a convenient bowl to make for 'clean' eating at home. Also comes with choice of corn or flour tortillas and salsa. Pro Tip: Ask for extra pico de gallo; it was super fresh and tasty!! Juan Pollo is now part of our go-to takeout list and we look forward to more chicken dinners in the future. read more

Thank you for making my Christmas a delicious one. The food is always fresh tasting and your friendly staff puts it over the top. I will be a repeat customer. read more

Having grown up in the San Gabriel Valley, I was always a huge fan of Juan Pollo. In my opinion, they have the best rice out of any fast casual/food establishment. That includes Chipotle and you know Chipotle has some bomb rice. You'll sometimes find fragments of chicken in the rice, which tells me they cook it in their chicken fat, which of course makes it the best. I'm not generally a fan of potato salad but I'm a fan of Juan Pollo's. Their hot salsa is so good and I always ask for extra to put on food I cook. And most importantly, their chicken is the best, especially when compared to El Pollo Loco. I'm so glad this location is good as the ones I frequented as a kid and will support this one regularly when in the Coachella Valley. If you're super hungry, I'd get their 1 pound burrito as it could feed you for the entire day! read more

Great customer service and delicious food every time! Always my go to for any work event or party! 10/10!!

The chicken here is the THE most tender you will find at a quick-serve restaurant. Way better than El Pollo Loco. It's a chain, but it sure doesn't taste like it. Don't miss the delicious potato salad! read more
