First time ordering from this location. The cashier was very sweet took the time to answer my questions. Super busy location for some reason. food was good but that days rice was super uneven. There was still raw rice in there. Super crunchy. but not sure why they didn't honor my 2 chicken special from the Juan Pollo website. hopefully other locations will honor their own coupons. read more

Came here to order some chicken for a BBQ event. I ordered their 1 whole chicken, along with a large salad. I also ordered an additional order of tortillas. When I received my order, I didn't check to make sure everything was there. Opening the order, I noticed they didn't put my additional order of tortillas. Their "Large" order of salad didn't look large at all. My overall experience was unpleasant here. So much for their large salad. Next time I will make sure to check and go over the contents of my order prior to leaving the store. read more

I got here and was standing in front of the register. There were a lot of boxes at the side of the restaurant. A lady and a guy (workers) were talking. Not once did they acknowledge me. The polite thing to do would be to say "Hi we'll be right with you" or something like that and that's understandable. No one came to take my order. It's rude to let a customer stand there for quite some time while your having a conversation with each other. I walked out. read more

Since Mr. Okura passing it doesn't seem to matter which one I've gone to they're all giving out bad bowls with a lot of bones in them. Last night I we tried this location so sad that it made me feel I will never eat at another one again. They've gotten a raise, and food not going to get better because people simply don't care. The management doesn't care either as long as people are getting paid. That's what matters, but when a business closes down, they wonder why. Do better people or find a job you enjoy! read more

I love Juan Pollo so I gave this place a try in Upland. So when I got to the register, I didn't get a proper hello the young guy that took my order greeted me with. Do you know what you want? Are you ready to order? Wow! He needs social skills, but it's OK. This is probably his first job. The food is bland and beware of the tiny bones in your food. I kept spitting most of my food out because I was afraid to swallow it. read more

It's been a VERY long time since I've had Juan Pollo. Since my hubby and I are over in Rancho Cucamonga, we've been getting our fix at Tasty Chicken (which was previously Juan Pollo). One day we decided just to compare so we drove over to the Upland location and ordered the Mini Pak. Since we had our dog with us, I waited outside with her. My husband said that he waited a while for our order because when our food was ready the woman in the front who took his order did not bring the food out. The cook from the back had to come out and hand him our order. (We were the only customers.) The chicken itself was decent; a bit on the salty side and could have been juicier. The potato salad was very bland and had large chunks of potato. Overall, still an okay experience, but hands down the potato salad at Tasty Chicken in Rancho is so much better. Not sure if we will be here again. read more

Juan Pollo - Family meal - Mexican Near Me - Upland, California

Legally what you advertise you have to honor. The cashier basically said I was lying...so I took the picture. She said it was a mistake (32.99) and that the computer would not allow her to adjust the price. Then she and another female employee started taking about me in Spanish not realizing I myself speak Spanish fluently because I'm Nicaraguan. Never again! The place is filthy as well. They fixed the sign (paper and tape) as I was walking back from ordering food from the other Mexican restaurant. What a joke! read more

Juan Pollo - Don't honor the advertisement that is posted. - Mexican Near Me - Upland, California

Only three stars? You people must be crazy! This is one of the better JP locations I have been to and I'm grateful it's about a mile away from my home. They are always so friendly here and my order is ready quickly each time. You can't believe the prices either. A ton of food for cheap! That potato salad tho. (Insert hands emoji here.) So good! It could solve tarnished international relations if we used it as a peace offering. read more

Juan Pollo - Mexican Near Me - Upland, California

Look if Pollo Loco and Juan Pollo got in a fight.... John chicken wins hand down.. they don't have a lot of selection, but what they do is consistently good. Their potato salad, taste like homemade, and not something that you bought in a deli full of preservatives. The prices are reasonable and if you're looking to cater large event, you really can't beat their price. Although they don't have a drive-through, I would rather go to Pollo any day over Pollo Loco. read more

We are loyal customers of Juan Pollo and love their food. Unfortunately, seems like this location is in over their head. Online order was over 40 minutes later than it was supposed to be, and other dissatisfied customers in line requesting refunds and being told to wait. Will have to go somewhere else for our next family gathering. read more

Don't waste your time or money here. Food tasted weird and smelled old. Shortly after we got food poisoning. They didn't apologize just simply told me to call corporate if that's what I would like to do. read more

This past Saturday, we went in to Juan Pollo get some of their delicious potato salad to add to our BBQ by the pool. We don't go to Juan Pollo's often but out of three times we have visited, we have had horrible customer service or a problem with our orders. My wife ordered two large containers of potato salad by phone and we then drove over to pick them up. Not thinking it was necessary, we just paid for out containers of potato salad and left to the BBQ we were having with a small group of friends by the pool. When meal time rolled around, we were shocked to find our two containers of potato salad really contained one with rice and one with beans! Needless to say, my wife was very unhappy about this. Everyone still ate the rice and beans but we had all disappointed that we didn't have the potato salad we all wanted. My wife called to voice her complaint but the staff answering was not interested in assisting us nor interested in making our order good by replacing the rice and beans with the potato salad we had ordered. This is just poor customer service and I do not anticipate user returning to Juan Pollo in the future. We can get good potato salad elsewhere or just spend the time to do it ourselves without having to back to Juan Pollo. Yes, it is a small thing. Yes, it shouldn't have happened. But, how do you get potato salad mixed up with rice and beans? Then provide poor customer service on top of that? No thanks! read more

Juan Pollo make delicious chicken as well as delicious sides: rice, beans and that potato salad (Dang! Just mentioning it makes me want some). Seriously, the food here is solid. "So, why no five stars?" you may be wondering. Well, I know it takes a while, so, I always call in my order ahead of time. Even though I do this, my order is never ready on time. Not a huge deal, but like, just a bit annoying. Also, I always order by phone, then, when I get to the store, I always see the same thing I ordered by phone, advertised in store, but with two free large drinks. I'm always like, "Dude, couldn't you have just changed my order to that? Or like, told me about it over the phone? I seriously missed out on two drinks!". Also, I feel like their sides have gotten smaller (which, inflation, I get it). IDK if they do this, but like, I'd totally "upgrade" my side to bigger portions for a buck or something. read more

This Juan pollo is the worst Juan pollo I have ever been to. I order my food and when I got home I open the box to serve my plate and there was a long piece of hair on my chicken. I called to inform the restaurant and the girl that answered had the worst attitude and customer service I have ever experienced, she would not give her name and she hung up the phone in my face. The owner/manager should really train their employees on attitude, customer service and appearance. From this experience I will never return to this place or any Juan pollo at this point. Do better!! read more

Hey order to piece and got what looked like a one piece. I called the store and was on hold for 20 minutes. The guy who answered did not even tell whoever was in charge of the phones that I was waiting.. I got to the store and the guy still argued read more

Tonight we ordered Juan Pollo and the owner was fabulous l!! Lemon Festival was getting set up and she made sure to hand deliver out amazing chicken! Service like this is appreciated!! Will be back very soon!! read more

Our favorite chicken spot, we Love the flavor of the rotisserie chicken. We always get the rice , beans, and potato salad with flour tortillas and salsas on the side. That potato salad is so good. read more

I have been eating here since I was a wee lad. Their chicken tacos include a very generous portion of chicken. They really don't skimp here, and when you add the pico. Muah! Perfection in a shell. (Not a half shell, that's a turtle.) If you're on a diet their chicken salad is delicious. Personally, I like to exchange the dressing for salsa. But I'm a glutton for a good spicy salsa. Yum yum. It's simple, healthy, and delicious. If you're not on a diet may I recommend the nachos. Such a healthy portion of everything. Chips, chicken, beans, and cheese. They give jalapeños on request and...again, I cannot stress the pico. Maybe I have a problem... The bean and cheese burritos are so full and have so much cheese. It's perfect to feed a few people or one person over a period of 2 or 3 meals. The chicken meals are such a good family dinner fix. Reasonably priced and a treat to your taste buds. Come on, they deserve it... The only warning I have is that if you eat here and have their chicken you may never be able to eat anybody else's chicken again. THAT is how delicious it is here. Tell your mama to put the rotisserie away, Juan has got you tonight! read more

I stopped by Juan Pollo in Upland late this afternoon to pick up dinner when we were hungry. I ordered the mini dinner which is a whole chicken with 3 sides. After opening the box I grabbed a leg. Just now when serving our dinner I realized that we didn't have our whole chicken. You can see it is a pretty small amount but the real deal was we only had one leg, meaning we did not have a whole chicken. I called the store and the staff was rude and not helpful. The manager said that they would replace it within the week but we could not eat any! Really ??? I explained I lived in Rancho and this was our dinner. They didn't even take my name for replacement!! I have never complained before but when you pay $28 for a chicken with sides...you expect to get a flippen chicken!! And now we just got into the sides...rice is not cooked all the way....still hard!! My husband just ate his burritos and said it was terrible!! I will never return to this store! Rancho store on Baseline and Archibald is much better and has great customer service!! read more

Juan Pollo - chicken wings in a plastic container - Mexican Near Me - Upland, California

Best potato salad anywhere! Nuff said. If you have eaten here and gotten sides, you know it's a must have. Everything here is good. I have come here on multiple occasions just to get a party platter of potato salad to bring to parties or to eat all week at home. Check it out ! read more

Didn't get the chance to eat here because every time I called every ten minutes they said they were short staffed and couldn't take my order. They put me on "hold" once and could hear the employees whole conversation, she was shooting the breeze with a coworker or customer the whole time. Just didn't feel they wanted any customers, I felt like I was bothering her so I just left. read more

Best flavor chicken around!! Potato salad is the best never can go wrong with Juan pollo

We love the food but are unlikely to return due to service. The girls up front are rude and do not know customer service. The cook was the only one working hard to get orders processed. The hot chicken sat for at least 10 minutes. Wasn't until I came up and called for the girls (who were in the back talking about personal things and getting out of there early) that they started processing orders. They were short with me and acted like we were an annoyance. All customers were frustrated. Shouldn't take 15 minutes to get ab order especially when the cook has the hot chicken ready in minutes. read more

The service is great and the staff is always willing to work with whatever you may want. The food is surprisingly full of flavor for a small location, and everything is always ideal. Only concern is during the summer, it feels like there is no a/c. read more

I love Juan Pollo. I don't know what they put in there seasoning but it is absolutely flavorful. The mini pack special is enough to feed my family. read more

If I could give this specific Juan Pollo ZERO stars I would!! Initially, my order was thru delivery (Uber Eats). I ordered the mini pak that has chicken, rice, beans, potato salad, tortillas, and salsa. And when I received my order I was missing my rice. So I proceed to call the store and let them know. When the manager gets on the phone she starts saying "I can check the cameras" and that she's sure she put it in there. I tell her if I could just go pick it up because my kids were looking forward to eating the rice. So there I go driving 15 minutes with all of my kids to the store. When I get there I let them know that this is actually the SECOND time they mess up on my order (I came back in February and they had forgot something like this time) and that I had to drive 15 minutes to them when my kids still haven't even been able to eat their dinner yet. So for THEIR integrity and pride if they can compensate me with some more chicken since now my chicken is at my home COLD. And the RUDE manager proceeds to say "no I told you over the phone that I could give you the rice and that's what I did". She proceeds to say that she understands but she's not going to give me more chicken. And that she's going to check the cameras because she's 100% sure she put my rice. I'm irritated at this point and tell her that I wouldn't go out of my way and take time out my day with my kids at night for some rice. And that as a mother I was trying to have a day off of making dinner which is the reason I ordered from there. And now my dinner is RUINED. She had no empathy or compassion to anything that I was saying. So I asked for the number to corporate (which she writes on a napkin) and walks away. It's funny she mentioned they are the #1 Juan Pollo when I came on here and see all the bad reviews My advice: Avoid this Juan Pollo and go to the one on Euclid instead!! I've never had to deal with any problems with my order or rude lady's who should not even be a manager in the first place!! read more

So it's 9:33PM and their hours say they close at 10PM. The door was locked and the sign flipped to close. Maybe they should update their hours. read more

Juan Pollo - Hours posted: closes at 10PM yet they locked the door at 9:30PM. - Mexican Near Me - Upland, California

Me and my mom come to this place frequently. We order the nachos which is a good portion size to share and we also like to get the lunch special which comes with chicken, rice, potato salad and side of tortillas. The chicken is so flavorful and the staff are very friendly read more

DO NOT COME HERE! I decided to give this place a try since I was in the area and wanted a quick bite. I ordered a chicken bowl and asked for beans on the side. Not hard right? Apparently, either I get them in there or just leave them out (and still get charged for them) which is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. I know they have different container sizes. They could have easily chose to give me good customer service, but went the lazy route I guess. When I finally received my order the flour tortillas that it came with were chewy and burnt at the same time I have no idea how, the bowl was full of bones, it had like three green onions, and none of it had any taste. Before I even tried it I wanted extra green onions and asked for a bit on the side and they did have a container for that apparently and it was 50 something cents. I was pissed because they charge me for some invisible beans, but can't even give me some green onions?! I mean the freakin bowl barely had any. Never coming back to this dump again. If I could give it invisible stars I would. TRASH,TRASH,TRASH! read more

Está rico el pollo pero el arroz sabe muy salado y se ve como si fuera de días ojalá pueda mejorar un poco más

Very bad service. The tables were dirty and during the time we were there eating no body went to clean the tables. I don't recommend this place! read more

Greta food, service and the party pak 3 was plenty of food for our event! Thank you Juan Pollo Upland!

Juan Pollo has the tastiest chicken, I absolutely love their chicken skin. If I had it my way, I peel the skin and eat it by itself...it's that good. Although don't get me wrong the chicken is juicy too. The rice & potato salad are also soo yummy!!! The beans are my least favorite there, when we have leftovers the beans dry out & just doesn't do it for me or my family. Customer service/staff are pleasant. read more

JUAN POLLO is one of the best roasted chicken restaurants around. The chicken is seasoned to the bone and so very delicious and tender, never dry. Good for family meals (they offer specials for meals) as well as ordering for parties. The beans are delish as well as their rice, which is so very good. It is not mexican rice but white rice cooked in a broth and chicken pieces. Good salsa, too. I always order over the phone to pick up, and the people there are so friendly, polite, and professional, so don't go in their acting a fool. If you haven't tried Juan Pollo, you are missing out. They're so much better than the nationally known Pollo spot, and the only negative thing about Juan Pollo is they don't deliver, so, other than that, they're perfecto!!! read more

Service here is good and the chicken was good. The dark meat pieces though were a lot more moist and juicier the white meat was dry to the bone and a little difficult to eat. read more

The chickens' skin still taste good, but the chicken itself is on the dry side. They also increased their price from the last time we ordered here. It seems like they renovated the inside and got a nice menu pamphlet. But I guess since the pandemic, 2 chicken & 3 large sides (2 rice & potato salad) almost cost us $50 and that's the suggestion deal I got from the person that took my order over the phone. When I came in to pick it up, I was honestly surprised and when I tried to confirm the price the young guy at the cashier just looked at me with blank stare. We would still support this small business on occasion but not the go to for our usual what's for dinner/lunch type of situation. read more

I went in the other day and one lady in particular was being short with me! The lady had black hair and I'm pretty sure her name was Maria

I absolutely love Juan Pollo and have been to multiple locations but this one was disgusting. I ordered a mini pack and I was so disappointed. The chicken and rice were bland. The potato salad, my favorite part, tasted rotten. It had a strong acidic taste and odor. I was sad to throw out 2 medium sides of potato salad. The salsa also had a strong acidic taste and I threw it out. I'll never return to this location again. read more

my wife went last night to buy a meal advertised for $40.00 after placing order total came out to $54.00 , my then told the employee but on yelp it says $40.00 dollars for the same meal, she said that right the prices haven't been updated yet, i think this is false advertising, my wife said hardly any customers inside. i wonder why, not only the price hurts but my stomach from food poisoning eating bad chicken sitting out that they couldn't sell read more

My family and I frequent this location. The past few times I've noticed a younger group of adult in the back joking, playing and not really paying attention to the customers. This is the second time, I've called in my order like aways and had to wait for the staff to finish joking around to give me my food, then get home and see that my order is wrong. I think their current staff might need more adult supervision. I'm give a 4 because I know in the past this place is great but my most recent experiences have not been the same. read more
