    I Came Here with My Kids and Neighbor and got Really Bad Food Poisoning. We All were throwing up

    a car parked in front of a restaurant

    After visiting the Original McDonald' museum, I decided to have lunch and support the owner, Albert Okura, at his Juan Pollo chain that supports and funds the museum. Juan Pollo is the El Pollo Loco of the Inland Empire that is slowing expanding into Orange County. Juan Pollo is a mixture of Asian and Mexican influences. The chicken is seasoned well with Okura's own special recipe. The side rice is steamed with bits of chicken and their potato salad is killer unique. Prices are reasonable for a combo meal. Service was adequate. The place is relatively well maintained and clean. Juan Pollo is definitely a nice alternative to El Pollo Loco and supports the unsanctioned McDonald's museum.

    I decided to come here after visiting the McDonald's Museum, where I learned about Albert Okura, who was a big fan of McDonald's. One of the interesting facts that I learned at the museum was that when Albert had learned about the foreclosure from the local newspaper, he immediately made an offer of $135,000 for the property. As a child, Albert's favorite food chain was McDonald's, which served as his inspiration to open up Juan Pollo. I ordered the thigh & leg meal which comes with 2 sides and a choice of flour or corn tortillas. I asked the cashier what two sides she would recommend and she suggested the rice and potato salad. Both were delicious and flavorful. The chicken was very juicy! It's quite spacious inside and there's plenty of parking.

It was a World Cup game day, and she seemed to be responsible for an entire side of the restaurant by herself. The service delays felt more like a management and staffing issue than a reflection of her effort. We were seated at 6:04 PM, and our drink order wasn't taken until 6:32 PM. While I understand restaurants get busy, it seemed like management should have anticipated the increased demand and staffed accordingly. Unfortunately, there were several issues throughout our meal. The chips brought to the table tasted a bit rancid, and the napkins wrapped around our silverware appeared to have some kind of dried residue on them that looked like tamarind paste. I ordered the birria plate, and roughly 40% of the meat was fat, making much of the portion inedible. I also waited over 15 minutes for limes and never received the cilantro I requested. My husband ordered the carnitas plate and was surprised by the appearance of the meat--it was very pale and almost looked like chicken. He said it lacked flavor and was disappointing overall. My parents ordered the molcajete, which arrived without the shrimp that was supposed to be included. At that point, we knew it would likely take another 10-20 minutes to flag someone down, so they decided to just enjoy what was served. They actually said the flavor was quite good despite the missing ingredient. Overall, the experience was highly disappointing, especially considering the long waits and food quality issues. I don't blame our waitress, who was clearly stretched far too thin. My frustration is directed more toward management for not properly preparing and staffing the restaurant for such a busy event.

After a long week and zero desire to cook on a Friday night, I finally decided to give it a try. When I pulled up, the line was surprisingly short, which felt like a good sign. The order window is right out front, and the menu is simple and familiar: tacos, burritos, sopes, tortas, quesabirria. I ordered a little bit of almost everything: asada street tacos, a bean and cheese burrito, beans and rice, an asada mulita, an al pastor sope, and a quesabirria. Prices were reasonable, and I spent under $50 for the whole spread. Food came out in about 15 minutes and was packed neatly. The disappointment started once I got home. There was no salsa in the bags, which already put us at a disadvantage. Only then did I realize there's apparently a salsa bar inside along with a small seating area, something you don't see from the front order window. Had I known that, I would've grabbed what we needed before leaving. Then we opened the tacos and realized they came completely plain... no onion, no cilantro, nothing. Just tortillas and meat. Not exactly what I expected. Visually, everything else looked fine, so I was hoping the flavor would make up for it... but it didn't. Everything tasted bland, like the seasoning took the night off. The only thing I halfway enjoyed was the beans and rice, and my family felt the same way. Maybe my expectations were too high based on the crowds I always see, but everything tasted like tortillas, meat, and cheese... and not much else. I'll give them credit for fair pricing and quick service, but that's about it. I really wish the cashier had mentioned that the tacos come plain or pointed me toward the salsa setup. Overall, not the experience I expected, and not one I'd rush back for.

Although their prices are high, $16 for a torta, it's usually worth it, because their portions are quite generous. Earlier today, I ordered a torta to go, and I ended up extremely disappointed when I got home. It had literally half the meat, half the beans, and half the cheese that it normally does. This was the first time I'd been disappointed with their food, but I decided to call and express my dissatisfaction. I was passed to the manager who handled the situation in the most unprofessional way. I explained the issue to him, and he insisted that my torta today had the same amount of meat, beans, and cheese as always. I disagreed with him, and he responded angrily, "Everybody makes mistakes!" He raised his voice and repeated it a couple of times. It was completely bizarre that he chose to speak to me as if I was the one who'd done something wrong. It's very childish to do a subpar job and then get upset and frustrated when you're called on it. An adult apologizes and pledges to not blow it again. Anyhow, I don't tolerate disrespectful people so I'm done. I won't spend another penny there.
