    Only the best chicken.
    Nathan P.

    Best tasting chicken in town. The moistness and texture and the flavor can't be beat. Sorry Elpollo Loco...Not Sorry.

    Fun Facts About Founder: In January, 1984, Albert Okura opened the first Juan Pollo in Ontario, California. His brother-in-law, Armando Parra, helped to develop the initial rotisserie chicken recipe deriving back from his roots in Chihuahua, Mexico. Juan Pollo Mission Statement: We believe that the most important interactions happen across the dinner table with the people we cherish most. Our dedication revolves around three main aspects of life: 1) Food not only nourishes our bodies, it reminds us of who we are, and where we come from. Nothing brings us closer than sharing great food. 2) Family is the most important aspect of life. The meals we provide and share with our families should bring us happiness and joy. 3) Fiestas allow us to share the joys of life with the people we care for most. This is what makes life worth living. =========================== Juan Pollo Promo: Currently, they have a 2 chicken deal for $23.99 that includes tortillas and salsa. The last day for the deal is 10/31/2025. Credit Cards: Credit cards are accepted, but there is a surcharge. Restrooms: No restroom available at the shop. Visitation Rights: Been to this location once, but I've patronized the east la location in the past. Location/Parking: Located on the SE corner of Olympic and Garfield. Parking can be found in the shared lot or either on Olympic or Garfield. Ambiance/Decor: Small shop with some modern furnishings. Service: Service was very good. The staffer behind the register was patient and attentive. My food didn't take long to be ready. Food Of Choice: I got the 2 chicken deal that came with tortillas and salsa. Chicken was quite delicious. It was tender, juicy, and quite flavorful. Literally, fell off the bone. :) Juan Pollo For Thought: Would definitely come back for the chicken and try their potato salad.

    We got chicken today. I noticed that they do run out of chickens. They're saying when I ordered there's only like six chickens left. I don't know why this place always runs out of chicken.

    The chicken was good. The rice was just steam rice with. Tiny bit if seasoning. The beans were bit insipid. The flower tortillas stuck to each other and were a bit difficult to separate, they were thick and doughy. I don't think we'll be back. Service was ok. Ambiance is quiet, no music or tv on.

    Hands down THEE BEST Juan Pollo location, the food never disappoints. Legit the softest chicken I've ever had. Sides are always amazing, everything tastes very fresh. Never have any issues with the quality of the food, which is why I love this location as they're incredibly consistent! Service is always great too, never had an issue with any of the workers, I've always been treated with good service. I've placed catering with them as well and the owner has always been very kind and accommodating! Ambiance is also really nice and well-kept, I appreciate places that take the time to make the space nice. Overall, 10/10, I always recommend anyone in the area to go here!

    Spoiled Mashed potatoes smells bad and "salsa" looks like spaghetti sauce.
    Arlley M.

    Today (05/14/2025) I ordered 2 chicken and 1 order large size of "potato salad" that SPOILED seriously. Attention Management please check the food that you guys sell before you sell it to the public. It's not acceptable! And also one of the chicken is not new taste old plus the salsa is like mashed tomatoes taste different than before.

    Didn't even ask if it was for here or not

    I am so happy I finally got to try Dama! I absolutely love Antonia LaFasso so I've been dying to…read moretry one of her restaurants. Now when you pull up originally you might think, "am I in the right place" but once you park and get into the courtyard, it is LOVELY! Amazing ambience! There is a bocce set up, string lights. It is a little slice of oasis in the middle of the fashion district. The restaurant itself - beautiful. I couldn't ask for more. Absolutely perfect in my book. Beautiful plants hanging, perfect Spanish music in the background (any place playing Natalia LaFourcade is a win). The drinks were great! I had the jungle bird which was fun. Food was so good too. The whipped beans are the star! We had the guacamole which was tasty, great tostadas with it. The arepas were good but the pork belly was a little too fatty (I know pork belly is always fatty) to the point the fat muted the flavored for the arepa a bit, but still delicious. The empanadas were great and as someone who lived in South America and ate empanadas every day, these really took me back to my Paraguay days. The squash blossoms were light and perfectly fried. Unfortunately my friends had gone to Funke the night before so they were comparing the squash blossoms and Funke won out, but they still liked Dama's! Small plates were enough for the 3 of us. The service was quick and attentive. Parking was easy for us. I will definitely be back!

    We've probably been to Dama two dozen times. It's one of our regular spots and we love it…read more First of all the service is always great. The staff are lovely humans who really seem to care about their customers. We have some faves on the menu. The bean dip is fabulous and I'm addicted to the baby gem salad. They have recently amped up the filling in the delicious crispy squash blossoms and I love the acidity and heat. The fish is also a hit in my books. One dish that doesn't work for me is the lamb chops, which is a shame since it's my favorite protein. I've ordered them multiple times with clear instructions on temperature and have found them overcooked and tough. The beef tostada was just ok. Whilst I loved the pickled veg on the side, the beef was underseasoned. It wasn't bad - just not up to the standard of other dishes. The vibe in the place is welcoming and the restaurant is nicely appointed. We will continue to be regulars and it's really worth trying if you haven't been yet.

They guide you to the entrance which about one hundred feet north. Walking in you're shown many awards, culminating in a 2025 Michelin. There must have been a special occasion to be welcomed by music that was incredibly loud. We sat down, and I couldn't hear myself think, or the waiters voices. We asked for another table, but unfortunately that brought a certain type of attitude from the host. I'm sure the music would have been nice if it wasn't as loud, on amplified speakers. After finally being seated, near the bar, the service seemed great. Seating seemed plentiful, but I can now see why a reservation is necessary. To start, the appetizer we chose was a queso fundido which was ok on their smaller tortillas. I must have been spoiled by Chalio's homemade giant tortillas. Chalio's on Atlantic by the way. Guelageutza uses sautéed mushrooms, and they garnished it with this guacamole that didn't really taste that good. Mushrooms on the fundido didn't seem right, but individually they tasted great. The chorizo was ok. My gf likes to try those types of apps. They're not known for that, so I can let it pass. Our order was taken, food was quick, and hot. The attentiveness of the staff was good, but their smiles were absent. Must have had a long day. I got the black Mole chicken, my gf got the enchilada negras(black mole) topped with their tesajo. My dish was good, hot, and full of mole, which was delicious as well. They served it with their tiny homemade corn tortillas. They have several types of mole. My gf got the enchiladas Oaxaceñas and it looked good until I took a bite of the enchiladas. They just poured mole over the tortillas and that's where the flavor went flat. The tortillas were dry and not dipped in the sauce. Traditionally in my family, we fry our tortillas lightly in oil, or lard, and roll them in the sauce. My gf didn't even finish them. I ate all of my meal, and I took her enchiladas home. They were even worse as leftovers. I tried to order their traditional flan, but they had ran out, so I ordered their tres leches. It was ok. I was really disappointed that they ran out of flan though. All in all, this establishment was ok. The atmosphere seemed very manufactured, but I've never had the pleasure of visiting Oaxaca. The mole negro was delicious on the chicken. Seeing that It was recommended on Yelp, I agreed with the statement of picking that dish. The bathrooms were great with a good amount of stalls. I can't say that about a lot of good delicious Mexican food restaurants here in LA. They seem to be more of an afterthought with some. Reminding myself this was Michelin rated restaurant, I didn't get that same feeling with the food though. This now, will give me an excuse to look into why a restaurant is rated as such to understand why that matters so much.

Hollenbeck was good but I definitely enjoyed the Okie burrito more, I ordered the "original" size once and didn't seem to learn my lesson the second time, these burritos can feed two in Original size. They offer a "Mini" version which would be satisfactory for one person. My favorite thing about these burritos is how "home-made" they are, the salsas and meats are fresh and taste like they came out of an abuelitas kitchen. I still need to try the crunchy tacos and nachos which look great, I recommend trying this classic establishment at least once if you're in the area.
