    Delicious chicken and friendly staff
    Melissa D.

    One of my favorite chicken places it may not look like much, but trust me, you must try! Their chicken is always cooked very well and seasoned perfectly. It's tender the sides. The potato salad has to be my favorite although the chicken rice is a close second the chicken is seasoned perfection. The salsa's are just OK and the beans are whole beans. I definitely enjoy coming here. Prices are not outrageous. The reasonable this service is great. The location and surrounding is not the best so typically, I order for pick up. Ratings Food 10/10 Service 9/10 Ambience, 3/10

    First time trying this spot in Corona I ordered the Pollo bowl , it was really good except for the fact I chewed on 2 bones , not very pleasant, I must say the potato salad is delicious. I ordered Horchata, tasted a bit watered down , not to mention the customer service wasn't very welcoming, the brunette seemed like she didn't want to be there , I would probably go back and try something else because the food was really tasty .

    Came traveling from far away. We have ate this 100 times... we decided to stop in an hour before they close and sit and eat out of a cramped car and they wouldn't let us sit and eat inside 1 hour before they closed... so we are standing on the side of the building eating... they get a 1 star yelp because of how inconsiderate they were after I let them know, we were traveling in the car for hours and cramped if we could sit down and she said no because she was mopping the floor one hour before they were going to close. I have been in food and beverage for over 17 year I have never heard anyone deny a family with 4 kids traveling to sit down and eat... horrible experience and this is where we ate so we can be out of the car..

    Did the chicken shrink or not grown fully?

    Here is my take on this place. Honestly, I wish I could review higher, but I need to be truthful and real. This place is overpriced Polo. I got the 2 PC chicken meals, and the leg and thigh are tiny. Looks like kids' meal. The taste isn't that much better than a fast food chain. It is bland and dry. I give it 2 stars because I ate the food, and it is edible. My stomach was hurting afterwards. The price is not bang for the bucks. In fact, there are a lot of other better choices for this quality and the price of food.

    The area of this spot is questionable, but that chicken is fire! Everytime I come I never have an issue with the chicken. The potatoe salad has been changed or something because it doesn't hit the way it used to. Sometimes the potatoes aren't even cooked all the way and you can tell. That's why no 5 stars because I've gone a few times and it's just not the same. But customer service is always cool, never any issues. I don't think they got an AC in there either which ain't the best place to eat, so I take it to go every time. This review is long over due! If you want nice, fresh, and affordable chicken this is the place to get it! I prefer the hard shell tacos; but you get more chicken in the soft taco. Enjoy!

    Purchased 6 chicken Tacos. Had 2 tablespoons of meat dried shredded bits and pieces on a broken shell with little bit lettuce and even less cheese for 250aa. RIP OFF TASTE OLD not fresh. When i called i got hung up on. Yes they did

    I haven't been In probably a year! Rice changed and beans too! I bought leg and thigh and the leg is not here! I got the thigh with a piece of breast! Because as you see in photo the dryness look of the meat! I love the dark meat of chicken! Not a breast person. I don't know who owns this corona location; however, the changes made to rice, beans isn't an improvement! Those of us who know Juan Polo from the original one craves the taste and original cooked style. Deviation makes this location another chicken place.

    Oh boy was this place freakin' great! Ambience: This place…read morewas small but mighty. Super-clean all the way down to the toilet. Very nicely decorated with a great outdoor patio. Wait Staff: I wish I took the name of our waitress because she was awesome, funny and knowledgeable about the menu. All waiters/waitresses were great. Drinks: Unfortunately I didn't get any drinks because we kept seeing the brightly colored drinks and flights being served around us and I was jealous, they all looked awesome. Food: This is where it gets good because the food was A+++mazing. We started off with just the salsa, chips and for a nice surprise, some warm beans. The salsa brought a tear to my eye because it was soooo good. Luckily, my son doesn't eat salsa so I drank it all down. The chips were perfectly fresh and crispy. Guac: So, our waitress brought us some off the menu guac, and, WTF, why are they hiding this recipe from the rest of the world. I literally got into a fist fight with my son because he was trying to take it from me (not really) but I didn't want to share. The presentation was so cute too. Plantains + chips + guac = heavan Fajitas: I ordered fajitas and all boxes were checked, quantity, quality, and taste. I ordered the chicken and it was juicy and thick and perfectly seasoned. Steak tacos: My kid ordered the steak tacos and we brokered a deal to trade some steak for chicken and this was the best deal made since the New Deal (American history). Steak was chunky and juicy and fresh! The only problem with this place is that it is very far from my house as I was in the 'hood for my kids basketball tournament. If I am in the area you better believe that I will be back. Oh yeah, and very affordable for the upscale dining.

The bartender took our drink order, and we received chips and salsa, which were very good. However, the bartender seemed a bit distracted, forgot about us, even though it wasn't a busy night. We decided to give it another chance since so many people seem to enjoy this place. We visited again, and we ordered a few drinks, received chips and salsa, then placed our food order. We waited for a bit and ordered a few more drinks. Unfortunately, after waiting about an hour, we never received our meal or any update on its status. We eventually decided to close out our bill. At that point, we noticed we had been charged for the meal we never received, as well as drinks that were not served. When we brought this to the bartender's attention, they raised their voice and told us we were wrong, which caught us by surprise. I understand that things can get busy, but a lack of communication and being spoken to disrespectfully is unacceptable. A simple check-in or update would have made a big difference. Based on this experience, we're unlikely to return. We really wanted this to work, but maybe you had to be regular customer to get better service?! We tried, but this place is a solid No for us.

It's always clean and well taken care of inside as well. Let's get to the food. My favorite here is the Al pastor. Seasoned and marinated to perfection. It's by far some of the best I've had in Cali. Never under or overcooked. It's just right! Asada. Again, marinated to perfection. Perfectly cooked. Never over cooked. The flavor is there. They've got a great salsa bar. Onion & cilantro Red and green salsa ( red is the best here ) Plenty of lemons They've even got grilled onions and jalapeños at the salsa bar. Overall would I recommend this place? Absolutely. The food and staff is great here. Th quality is excellent! Give it a try and you won't be disappointed. At least not with the asada or pastor. I have not tried the other things on the menu.

They do not skimp on the meat at all, and the flavor is just amazing. ​The burrito was huge and only $12, which is such a steal. Plus, the restaurant is spotless and the horchata is delicious.

I personally didn't love the tacos, but to be fair, I also didn't try anything else on the menu so I can't speak for the rest of their food. The place itself is a decent size, and the patio area is actually pretty nice. The staff was very kind, my order was ready right on time, and I appreciated that they weren't stingy with the sauces. Overall not a bad spot, but the quesabirria tacos just didn't fully hit for me. Oh well *shrug*

The chips are fresh, super thin and crisp, lightly salted. The salsa one of my favorites. I don't know why others cannot make them the same. I can see a plate of impeccable nachos in my future here. Camarones, Mojo de Ajo style, no head, no shell. The shrimp were nice sized, but obviously overcooked. Mr B said that a couple even tasted old as well. Too bad. On the other hand, the sides, beans and rice, were sensational. Done beautifully, with very rich flavors, I would come here just for those two items. My garlic shrimp burrito was filled with smaller sized shrimp than his, their awesome rice, some fresh salsa, and a pink dressing (?). The shrimp tasted fine, not overcooked, but not overly garlicky. And usually I dislike rice in my burritos, but this combination was an exception, a real winner. I recall having an amazing carnitas here on past visits that I really must revisit. Hmmm. This is beginning to sound like a carnitas nacho plate would be the right thing to do. The interior is very attractive with their colorful and vibrant murals. Great World Cup soccer playing on their TV. The server was absolutely attentive. A good little place worth s return visit.

Check my picture for the information. I ended up getting the 3 taco plate (2 asada and 1 carnitas) and the XL meat quesadilla with asada. The carnitas was really tender and delicious. The asada was good, but it was not my favorite. I have a thing with chewy fatty pieces and I understand it is common in lower quality cuts of flap meat. This asada had quite a few pieces I had to spit out because it was just too chewy. The refried beans were good, also not my favorite though. The quesadilla was good, I liked the grilled cheese cooked prior to folding it into the tortilla with the meat. Nice touch. That grilled cheese makes a huge difference. The next 3 taco plate had pastor, asada, and shrimp (except they actually gave me fish instead). At least my girlfriend enjoyed the fish taco as well. The tacos were loaded with meat and hard to pick up. That's the best! The pastor was tender and juicy. The fish taco was freshly fried and loaded with toppings and sauce. After paying, I asked for salsa and onions/cilantro cups so I could grab it from the salsa bar before leaving, but the lady turned around and grabbed me prepackaged salsa of each kind, bagged onion and cilantro, and limes. Super nice! Salsa were all really good! Especially the green avocado salsa. I'll come back for carnitas when I'm in the mood for tacos/quesadillas. I'll probably avoid the asada though. Just not my favorite.

Paying $1.19 for a chile is crazy especially when the cashier said it would have been free if we paid separately.
