Starving because I had to drop off and accompany my friend to a surgical center in the building next door, I decided to have my late lunch here. A friend of mine loved to go to Juan Pollo in Covina location. Not sure if they're franchise or individually operated. I ordered the 2 pieces leg and thigh chicken with 2 side order meal with no drink. The cost is $10.99 plus tax. I chose rice and green salad for my side. The portion is not bad at all and I left feeling full! I couldn't even eat the green salad and only ate 1 out of 3 tortillas. Basically I gobbled everything up and I dont know if it's because of the starvation, but I loved how juicy both chicken pieces were. One big downside for me was how oily these chicken pieces were. Way too oily for my liking and I was honestly questioning it whether they roasted or deep fried the chicken given the amount of oil on my plate. But the meat part is definitely juicy! Way too hungry to think much, I just removed the skin and toss them aside. The rice is definitely different unlike other rice in similar restaurant. It's flavored with chicken pieces, green onions and other seasonings that make this bowl of rice special. There's lots of parking so I dont think parking is gonna be an issue. The establishment can be a bit cleaner but I love how friendly and courteous the staffs were. They greeted each customers coming in and out. I would come back again especially for the chicken and rice but I would probably ask if they can make mine less oily. read more

Juan Pollo - Thigh & Leg Meal with rice and green salad. Big and juicy chicken pieces! - Fast Food Near Me - Chino, California

The food tasted great the chicken was very well cooked along with the rice and ingredients inside. Seems to be a very popular place as when we were leaving there was a line. Better than the other one Pollo chain outside of the area that I visited. Went with the Cajun sauce which was pretty decent not really spicy. To Taco plate seems to be a good deal for those who are not that hungry. Burritos are about 12 bucks read more

This is a solid chicken place, and the potato salad is where it's at - with carrot slices, olives - really unique and yummy. Service is always good here and food comes out quickly. Their hot and regular salsa complements well with breast/thigh meal that I get, add $1 for a soda. I've tried their burritos, hard shell tacos, soft tacos - all of which are decent; but I'll avoid the nachos - it's not in the style I enjoy and veers towards a bit dry for me. read more

Often imitated but never duplicated! There are many knock off Juan Pollo restaurants but it's hard to beat the original. Their rotisserie chicken is great but my favorite item here is their potato salad. That creamy goodness is a must-have when you come here. No Ragrets! read more

The team is really nice here. My mom comes in here from time to time and they're really sweet and patient to her. She'll ask when the fresh chickens are coming out and will willingly wait. She'd like to pick the chickens out herself if she could and the pieces. She'll ask for that senior discount too without question, but they're really nice. One day she had a price mixup on a promo price she saw. She was ready to try the ontario store to see if the price was different and called the ontario store from inside this store. They explained to her all promos are streamlined so no store offers different prices. So unfortunately for her the price got raised from the last time she saw it. They could no longer honor the price, but they showed her some extra love on the order which made her really happy plus gave her the freshest pieces. Good service here, especially to our elders. read more

Ordered catering for Easter and it was a hit! Everything was fresh and tasty. The party packages are plentiful.

Not worth $12 a bowl to be digging out bones for my family. This place struggles to do a good job. Also mislabeled the bowls which messed up who got what items. Thursday night staff needs help. read more

We love the flavor of the chicken and the pieces are bigger than el Pollo. The potato salad used to be better until they took out the black olives. Very fast service and a friendly smile. Being disabled, I wish they had a drive thru, but their chicken is worth the pain of walking in. read more

My husband and I stopped to pick up lunch yesterday as we were passing through Chino. We've gotten take-out from Juan Pollo many times, but this my first review. We got Juan's big burrito with chicken. It was decent, but there wasn't much flavor. The salsa definitely helped. Their potato salad is always good and never disappoints. I prefer their rotisserie chicken with beans and potato salad. This location is really nice with lots of tables. Some of their other locations are take-out only. read more

Beware of your extra dessert options! Ordered rice pudding (store manager said they got the batch yesterday) had mold in it. Yuck! read more

Juan Pollo - Fast Food Near Me - Chino, California

The thing I like about Juan Pollo is that the quality is always consistent. It's a bit more expensive than going to El Pollo Loco but the favor is vastly superior. My Wife and I love their Potato Salad. If you're in the area I would definitely recommend you giving it a try. read more

Few chickens out there taste so intensely of chicken than those pulled from the rotisserie at Juan Pollo. There are citrusy birds and herbaceous birds and heavily sauced birds, but Juan Pollo serves up chicken qua chicken. The skin is really too perfect for a fast food place. But if there is one gripe, it is the result of the entire chicken being treated as one single ingredient, so that when the dark meat reaches perfection, the white meat has been overcooked for a long time. But that's easy enough to ameliorate: order only thighs and legs. As for the sides, they offer a three card Monty of side dishes; two are transcendent, one is banal. You'll want to select the rice and potato salad, leaving the beans back in their pot where they belong. The potato salad consistently wins over everyone who tries it, myself included, though I'm not sure why. From what I can tell, it's essentially cold mashed potatoes with heaps of mayo and scant bits of canned black olive, green onion and shaved carrot, yet it continues to reach the ideal for potato salad every time. You really never want to eat potato salad prepared any other way. And the rice, imbued with chicken bits and bullion is such an Umami attack, it's really not surprising that this regional chain was founded by a Japanese American. The founder, the late Albert Okura, was something of an original. If you visit the Chino location, all the Juan Pollo heritage is tacked up on the wall for your wonder and amazement. You can see how they used to throw parades and hold Miss Juan Pollo beauty pageants. Okura even purchased the town of Amboy with the intention of turning it into a Route 66 amusement park. Okura led the life of a local legend. Ps. When asked whether you want hot or mild salsa, always select hot. It is, after all, a classic tomatoey Cal-Mex style salsa, therefore not really all that hot - yet still delicious. This might only be my preference, but I think their food goes better with flour tortillas rather than corn, so I suggest selecting flour, although this may only be a matter of opinion. read more

Great service, friendly staff and better tasting than other JP locations. Excellent quality and freshness. Cashier was very good - even included extra coupons. read more

I just needed to grab some beans for my chili Verde that I'm making tonight. After getting tea at Boba break, we walked over to Juan Pollo. Medium side of beans was 5 something. I also asked for a small side of hot salsa, which was complementary. It wasn't busy the ladies working were pleasant. read more

TMI warning‼ I don't know what happened but today I ordered a chicken quesadilla with potato salad. It was bomb however, I've been having diarrhea since I've ate it around 12:15pm. As a matter of fact I'm writing this review while....... relieving myself......for the third time today. Maybe you guys need to clean something? Because this doesn't make no sense. I've never had diarrhea eating from this place read more

Stopped by to pick up some potato salad ,in my opinion Juan Pollo has the best potato salad in regards to fast food, grocer potato salads . Quarter tub of potato salad was enough for us and it taste very good. They have many food items on the menu.The service was courteous and friendly, and we received our order in no time. There's inside dining and outside dining, plenty of tables and chairs to sit down and enjoy your meal and there's plenty of parking . The handicap stalls are by the front entrance. read more

$30 dollars for one chicken?? Are you crazy? Lost my business that's for sure and I used to come here every other week.

(Jan. 30/25) I've been to this establishment plenty of times and have finally left a review. The establishment is easy to find and there is plenty of parking for you. When walking in, the place is always very clean and the staff is quick to greet you and help you with your order. Today, I was served by Andrea and Josh who are fantastic hosts and really make you feel welcome. They know I usually get my favorite entree and one I'd recommend to everyone called the "soft taco platter" and it's three soft tacos served with chicken, lettuce, cheese, and tomatoes. I always like to get my tacos with extra cheese and tomatoes. They also have this very tasty "spicy cayenne pepper sauce" that is a great compliment to any of the dishes there; especially the tacos that I frequently get to enjoy. I get the 75 cent portion because I enjoy it so much. The food is priced well for the quality and the amount that you're getting. Additionally, I want to make a shout out to Ariél for consistently making the food with quickness and according to my modifications. He even remembers me from times before and is ready to make my hearty entree with ease. Although, there may not be enough room on the inside to fit a large party, there is also seating on the outside on their location for you to enjoy as well. Think of it more like a quick stop place for you to enjoy your food and be on your merry way to your next destination. read more

If it's not Pollo Loco, my 2nd choice is Juan Pollo. Excellent chicken flavored, rice and beans are delish as well. Plus their potato salad is also delish. Love their meal deals. It never disappoints! read more

The chicken was delicious. We also had the salad. It's a good size for 2-3 people. But the beans were very salty. Everyone is very friendly and they acknowledge you as soon as you walk in. read more

Much better than other certain chicken restaurants that are more prevalent. Fast service

Very much enjoyed the pollo and potato salad, but had to throw away the rice. The rice was over cooked and not worth driving back to request a refund read more

My cousin and I were looking for a lunch spot but the places we were familiar with were gone. That's when we stumbled across Juan Pollo. This was a nice little stop. They had a basic menu of chicken, frijoles and rice, oh yea can't forget the tortillas. It was perfect. Their chicken nestled in a tortilla with a little rice and beans with tasty salsa was just yummy. Chicken was moist and flavorful. Not too expensive nice simple little place nestled in this strip mall. Totally recommend read more

This is the BEST potato salad out of 5 Juan Pollos that I go to! I drive from Riverside to get theirs! It is the creamiest, has the best flavor and it has chunks of potato like potato salad should! Other places are liked whipped potatoes and is bland. I don't know why theirs is so different but it is! GREAT JOB! read more

My navigation directed me to the old address, after not locating it I happen to see their sign across the street. The correct address is 5460 Philadelphia Ste J. I was visiting 10 clients in Montclair so I took my order to go. The new location is tricky to find but free parking is provided. I ordered the family pack to go - 3 chickens, beans, rice, potato salad and 2 liters of soda. I found out this location is still owned by the original owner of Juan Pollo so I had high expectations. The chicken was fresh, plumpy and the sides were plentiful and yummy. I was given paper plates and plastic utensils and there was enough food to feed everyone. I would recommend this location and I'll return here again also. read more

Well priced, staff is really nice, food is made quickly so you don't have to wait and of course the food is delicious. Many different combinations to choose from, good family size options.
