When I was a kid, the family would drive from Norwalk to La Mirada (about a 25-20 minute drive) just to go Juan Pollo in La Mirada. Back in the day (90's) it was a tiny location and has since relocated, but it is still one of my FAVORITE places! I went there this evening after several years and it's still as delicious as I remember! I LOVE this place! I wish there was one closer to me here in Long Beach! read more

Seriously. Sucky service they charge for extra sauce and am getting 2 chickens and what 2 bags of 5 tortillas. Not coming back again read more

Juan Pollo - Mexican Near Me - La Mirada, California

Food Excellent! Hot and have nothing negative to say about the food. However, it's not fast or quick by any means. They don't answer phone that rings off the hook. Understandable since they are busy. This location needs a lot more organization and assistance. Previously placed/paid for orders are not being filled until the customer arrives. I appreciate the idea of having the food hot and fresh. But I do go ahead of time so I don't have to wait LONG! Never works out. Done this at least three times already and it's not worth it. The delays are up to half hour if your lucky. Management, you can do better than this. Otherwise, people (like myself) will only order during the week and non busy times. Holidays-Absolutely Not. read more

Been coming here for years but lately their quality has gone down. Went in today and the chicken was so dry you couldn't even eat it.

Crispy, tasty, flavorful chicken always. There white is taken up a notch with tiny chopped green onions,pieces of shredded chicken! Their potato salad is always a hit at our house ,its a must. Pinto beans are average, they can work on them by giving them a more favorable taste ( add some chopped Serrano chiles and whole ones cooked in oil) that would be bomb! ****** Their salsa is good, but they need to give more than one per chicken. One is just not ENOUGH********** YOU CAN PURCHASE MORE BUT WHY SHOULD YOU? I'VE been to other Juan Pollos and this location is always clean,friendly, and chicken always has the BEST flavor. read more

Juan Pollo - Best tasty chicken - Mexican Near Me - La Mirada, California

I just bought a family pack which includes three large sides. I asked for one large potato salad and one large rice. I then asked to split my third side in half, also rice and salad. They've done it in the past but depends on who's working that day and their mood. Needless to say they refused to accommodate my request with no explanation. read more

Got food poisoning from eating old chicken. Walked in with a mask on and instantly got dirty looks and felt discriminated. Im wearing a mask be safe for my health and not to potentially infect others as well. Been shitting on the toilet with a bad case diarrhea for 2 days now. Thanks for selling me bad chicken. Must be due to not as much customers purchasing food so they resort to selling old chicken. read more

Got the family meal. Great deal and the sides are delicious. Chicken was seasoned good and moist

I eat here often and it's always good. This was a bit different I ordered for 80 people so I'm always a bit nervous for these types of events. I have to say EVERYTHING WAS RIGHT ON POINT. Chicken was excellent, potato salad was perfect and I'm not even fan of it, the rice was great again this was a large order so you could imagine one worries. I even had it delivered and they were right on time no delays and everyone loved it. It was my first event and ordering from here but I was not disappointed at all. I will definitely come back considering how happy everyone was with there food. Thank you all again..... read more

Ordered the mini pak (whole chicken and 3sides) from menu. I was only given one small plastic container of salsa with meal. I requested an additional salsa for meal and was disappointed when told I would need to buy additional salsa cup.These are the most frustrating thing I find when going to restaurants and spending $20-30 bucks on food ( in this case a chicken) and staff being so cheap and unappreciative to your patronage would rather lose a customer than provide you extra condiments (salsa) that cost pennies. Got home and opened packaging and found three chicken legs and only one breast. Not sure how that happens but whatever. I won't be going back to that place. Don't get me wrong... food was delicious.... Just the poor service and lack of attention in packaging meal tells me something is not right with that particular store. I'll go to another one of their locations next time. read more

Chicken is seasoned excellent rice is the bomb so is the potato salad they always got special deals going on but I like going for the the two Chicken special on Tuesdays and Wednesdays I believe read more

I LOVE Juan Pollo. They have the best food at the best price. The beans and rice are my favorite sides. The rice literally melts in your mouth it is so moist. The chicken is amazing. I could eat it everyday. I actually would if they had more locations. The skin on chicken is the best I have ever had. The handmade flour tortillas and salsa add the perfect finishing touches to your meal. You can get a whole chicken, three sides, salsa, and tortillas for under $20.00. On Tuesdays they have two chickens for $15.99. This includes salsa and tortillas. I wish they had a location in the valley. They would do really well there. read more

Currently 8:30pm. They close at 9pm. Walked to the door and I'm greeted by the young lady who informs me they are closed. I ask what time they close and she says "8:30" so I ask why does your sign say 9? She just walks away. Ridiculous read more

Hmmm first time here. I've been to another one of their places and I liked their chicken so I was happy to find this place close to our new home. Came in and the lady at the front counter wasn't exactly welcoming but not rude just straight to the point "what would you like". I'm fine with the lack of excitement on her part but then an elderly gentleman had finished eating and placed the tray with the plate and stuff from his meal on the register counter. The lady RUDELY pointed at the trash and loudly told him to throw it in the trash! THAT bothered me. Her tone and demeanor were unacceptable. I understand she didn't want to clean up after him but come on. Not sure I'll go back. I like businesses to appreciate their customers. read more

We had Juan Pollo when attending a birthday party in La Puente recently and my kid loved it! She asked for a second piece and she's a pretty picky eater. I was happy to hear that it was from Juan Pollo because I knew we had one close to home. I decided to swing by this week and pick up Juan Pollo for dinner, I figured she liked the one from the Juan Pollo in La Puente, the one from LA Mirada will be just as good. Not quite! First of all you can't call and place an order over the phone for a regular family meal so its ready to pick up and go, which is fine but just inconvenient. What brought me to the two stars is the chicken. It was really dry! You're literally forcing the chicken to go down. My daughter took three bites and left it. The sides were decent but the chicken was a fail. Looks like I need to go to La Puente for good chicken! read more

I got 2 chicken soft tacos with corn tortilla (extra charge) and the tortilla came apart before putting any salsa. Chicken and salsa were good and so is the potato salad. Wish tacos had double tortilla to avoid them breaking apart. read more

This place use to be a great spot to get chicken and rice until last night. I had this most uncomfortable experience ever and not by the establishment but who they allowed in there . I had purchased a dinner and was waiting for my food and some man was allowed in. This establishment seems to have Knowledge of this customer for the cashier told me about him after I had an uncomfortable experience with this customer touching me inappropriately. The cashier informed me that he tends to harass her too . This place should protect their employees and their customers from feeling violated in a place where they go to simply pick up their food . Please do better for I do not want this customer to do this again to another person !!!! read more

Best customer service!!!! A shout out to Evelyn, great smile and natural engagement, not busy and was talking to her fellow associates when I entered but quickly made adjustment to ensure I was greeted immediately and taken care of. Just after I received my order a gentleman who worked there was at the door getting ready to start work I think, mind you I was still a good 8 feet from the door but he waited at the door so I could leave without touching the door...may not sound like big deal to i you but for me this showed the dedication of the staff to deliveR what I know to be excellent customer service. I went back in when I put my food in the car to ask the names of the two who impressed me and share his great I was made to feel. David was the name of the make employee. read more

Walked in at 8:35 to dine in and was told it was take out only. I drove all the way over here from Anaheim and this was a total waste of time. It says they close at 9:30. I was told they close at 9. Even then, should be able to dine in until closing. read more

Everything here is delicious. Very moderately priced. I think they have the best rotisserie chicken in town. Staff is always very friendly. Their salsa, potato salad and rice are all superb. I highly recommend! read more

cold and dry after thinking a lot about wat to get for lunch i decided to give this place a try.... wen in for some hot and flame grilled chiken and got a dry cold rubbery style half chicken .... as soon as i ordered it 2 seconds later it was ready and i thought is it grilled chicken or grilled chicken microwaved well... it was totally bland and no taste potato salad was ok and mild salsa was ok other than that rice and chicken were nah!!!! read more

I ended up here by mistake. I looked up directions to a nearby pollo place with a similar name. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. I purchased the whole chicken with 3 sides deal. The chicken had a good citrusy flavor and was moist. The potato salad was delicious. The beans were average frijoles de la olla. The white rice was a bit dry but it had good flavor. Overall, I would highly recommend the chicken. read more

I remember loving Juan Pollo as a kid right here off of Valley View and Imperial. We were super stoked to see it reopen not too far from home! We got our usual (two whole chickens, large sides of rice and potato salad), but we ended up disappointed. The potato salad was dry and had way too much carrot. The rice was close to the original recipe, but it seemed way too sticky. Their tortillas are prepackaged, and I'm guessing they come frozen and they just stick em in a steamer. They all stuck together and were coming apart in pieces. The salsa was damn spicy, which was refreshing. We were just disappointed that a family favorite after so many years changed so much. We asked for the special that was advertised in the window, and were charged a different amount. Even the guy behind us was charged almost $10 more than the price up on the board. I'm super bummed that the joint isn't what it used to be. Maybe if we go back it'll be different and/or better. But it left a less than familiar impression like it used to. read more

I recommend the mini meal. an entire chicken and three sides (I believe). The chicken is very well marinated, soft, and tender. You can't miss! read more

If you haven't tried Juan Pollo yet YOU ARE MISSING OUT! Pollo Loco has nothing on Juan Pollo! We usually go to the La Habra location because we live in La Habra but decided to go to the new one in La Mirada. Turns out, the La Mirada location is a bit closer. We got the small family pack and it was as good as it always is. The chicken was moist and the skin was full of flavor. Does anyone know how they marinade their chicken?!?! BOMB! The beans and rice were great! I honestly am not a big fan of re-fried beans but these are delicious. Their potato salad is the best potato salad. And the salsa is so good! I love how they put carrots in it. We always get extra salsa too. We always take our order to go as the restaurants don't seem inviting or comfortable to be in (and there's beer at home) therefore only 4 stars is given. But the food is always good. Don't waste your time at Pollo Loco or KFC. read more

Came in tonight and experienced an extended wait. Most people don't understand food service and understand sometimes you can get slammed at the worst times. This was one of those times. Why the 5 star rating you ask? Customer service and how they handled the issue. Manager handled all complaints in a professional manner and made sure to stuff some extra food into our box. A nice surprise when we got home and made the trip worth it. People were pretty fired up about the wait but again, handled extremely well. Bravo! read more

Hola tengo muchos años comprando pollo aquí pero últimamente aunque me gustaba mucho ya no voy tan seguido primero porque las cajeras que me han tocado son muy groseras siempre con mala actitud pareciera que las tienen trabajando a la fuerza y no tienen nesecidad de trabajar, no se si no entienden que sin clientes ellas no tienen trabajo, bueno eso pienso que no han de tener nesecidad cuando tratan tan mal a las personas porque no es solo a mi yo he visto como tratan a otras personas y que lastima , y luego para colmo las últimas 4 veces que he comprado pollo súper seco ni siquiera me lo puedo pasar que lastima porque aquí en mi casa nos gustaba muchísimo espero que pronto cambien a los trabajadores o por lo menos los hagan entender que ellos read more

My first time to visit this food chain. I was enticed by the ads on their truck that says "The BEST Tasting CHICKEN" so I thought of giving it a try. Besides, I was hungry. The place was relatively clean. Restroom as well. There were only 2 customers by that time (4pm on a Friday). I told the cashier it was my first time and she offered me options. She was very friendly. I got the Lunch Special and the service was quick. The chicken looked appetizing and it had the roasted chicken skin just right and crispy the way I like them. However, it was too salty. The salsa was fine. Potato salad was ok. Their rice tasted very good. It was the only thing I liked best. It has chicken meat and spring onions in it. Everyone has different palettes and maybe this food chain is for Mexicans/Latinos but not for me. I guess El Pollo Loco is still better for me compared to this place. But who knows, maybe the food tastes different in a different location. read more

Never again will I be going here we had a last min gathering come up I wanted to get 1 trey of potato salad and some chicken yes only 1 trey and some chicken they would not sell it to me they said they need 24 hours notice I couldn't believe it so I went to Juan rotisserie chicken on valley view and imperial they were so nice and had everything ready for us they said they don't need a notice for a order like that only for super big orders this is the second time we've had a problem at Juan pollo first time was hair in the beans that's it there done read more

Chicken is the only good thing there. There house rice lacks flavor. And do not order their hard shell tacos. They have the same shell as taco bell. My husband liked the grilled chicken but I would not recommend this place. It doesn't have enough options in the menu. read more

Juan Pollo is a staple for my family when we come to La Habra. Every time the family gets together Juan Apollo is always involved. We love the chicken, potato salad, pinto beans, and rice. The food is amazing !! So much flavor and very fresh. If you want cheap good quality Mexican food check this place out! read more

Trash worst customer service the lady at the rude trying to argue about giving me the rest of my order saying I already recieved it when it was clear I did not. The food I actually did receive was cold and the rice was hard and nasty. I've never had an issue with food but the last few times I recieved their food it was trash like the girl that works the register. DO NOT EAT HERE ! read more

I use to dream of JUan Pollo chicken and rice. I still love their chicken and potato salad. Their rice was disappointing the last time I went ( a week ago). They seem to be cutting corners. Less chicken in the rice and veggies were sparing in it too. I hope they read and try to change it back to the original way so I can update this post with a better rating. read more
