I was in the neighborhood and checked Yelp for a lunch recommendation. So glad I did, Pola's MARISCOS is fantastic! This is a small restaurant in a strip mall. Probably family owned. I only saw one employee, he might have been the owner, a very nice man. There was a menu at the counter where you order, and if you flip it over, there is a "secret menu" on the back. That's gotta be the good stuff, so I ordered a shrimp and ceviche combo. Wow!! Everything tastes so fresh!! Such a fantastic change to restaurants that serve dishes that were obviously old. I really liked this place and I'll be back. Gotta try more items from the secret menu!? read more

5 stars 5 stars 5 stars! This is the best aguachile I've had in a very long time. I almost went to another restaurant but I figured to give this spot a try and I'm so happy that I did! I also had the fish tacos and the fish was so tender and nicely seasoned, I'll definitely get it again. I loved everything about my experience here. The man at the front counter was so nice, the restaurant is so cutely decorated, the portions were great, and the prices were fair. Even if they decide to charge more they'll have me as a forever customer! read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. Hands down the best ceviche place I've been to. Food is fresh and portions are big! The tacos are the same high quality as the ceviche. I'd recommend for anyone, even if you don't live super close, to make the excursion and try this place out. You won't regret it! read more

Pola's Mariscos has been highly recommended by the Yelp community and strangers in the street. I was in the same plaza at Dolce's bakery picking up pastries for my mom and the lady in line mentioned she was grabbing Pola''s Mariscos amazing ceviche for lunch. Everyone's recommendation did not disappoint!! Covid Safety - Take out only. Staff wears face mask and gloves. Customer wears face mask to enter. 6 feet markers for social distancing. Hand sanitizer provided at check out. Very welcoming and friendly service. I mentioned it was my first visit, and the girl behind the counter gave me recommendations of her favorites and the customers' most ordered items. I ended taking the recommendation for the Pola's Mix ($14.50), one of their most popular menu items. It is a ceviche with shrimp, octopus, crab, tomato, onions and cucumbers in the mix, topped with slices of fresh avocado and 4 pieces of tostadas on the side. So funny because I asked her if one order is enough for me to eat for lunch because I imagined some small container. She said it should be plentyyyyyy, and it definitely was. When I poured the ceviche into the largest bowl in my house (the huge pho bowl), it was filled to the rim. Yikes! Definitely enough for lunch and some later on for dinner too. The Pola's Mix was so delicious and fresh. Everything was perfectly balanced. Generous amount of the seafood. I especially loved the bites that have avocado because its' creaminess really balances with the acidity of the rest of the mix. Mhmmmm. It was soooooo goooddddd!! Best ceviche spot I have explored in the IE. I have been raving about this spot to my cousin. I definitely want to bring some over and drop it off for them since we are social distancing. I also see that they have Menudo on their menu, but during the weekends only, so I definitely have to come back and get some for my Dad. He loves menudo! I loooooove Pola's Mariscos!! This hidden gem is definitely my latest guilty pleasure :) read more

This place takes the prize. Ok I usually know what to expect when going to a mariscos place in the inland empire or foothill area. Somewhat fresh fish and shellfish. Juice that's a bit too over salted along with a few other things, but I still come out of most places feeling pretty satisfied. Well not Polas. I hadn't had mariscos for six months so I saw they were near and had a good rating. They should have 5 stars. Everything I had... Shrimp Diablitos Fish Taco Tostada mixta Campechana Coctel ... was outstanding. Fresh as can be. Low salt but with tons of flavor. Everything was excellent. I was sipping my beer in between mouthfuls of delicious seafood and told my girlfriend, It felt as if I were in Rosarito eating mariscos that were just caught. Vacation vibe. Enjoyed every minute. In Montclair. Don't deny yourself. Very nice people who are helpful and obviously take pride in their product. Do It! read more

The only time I have had fresh ceviche from a restaurant is when I go to Cabo. Yes, I have had ceviche from a market, but when I think of ceviche I think of Cabo..until I came here. I came on a Saturday and I had Pola's mix and of course, the weekend special menudo, along with shrimp ceviche. The seafood was so fresh and delicious. Shrimp ceviche is shrimp, but I highly recommend getting Pola's mix because it has octopus, fish, shrimp, onions, and it is topped with avocado. Ceviche comes with tostadas. Absolutely delicious and very sharable. The menudo was spicy and full of flavor as well. I loved the hospitality here. The server was so nice upon getting to the register and really wanted to get to know my husband and I. When he brought out the food you know it was made with love. I'd love to come back here, but it's far from me. read more

But some shady charges or maybe we'll call it miscommunication just rubbed me the wrong way. I always order the mole chicken enchiladas and my wife (being vegetarian) asks for the same dish but if the enchiladas can be vegetable or cheese. Apparently this means a 8$ up charge? We've done this many times in the past and always been charged the same price for both. I asked the server at the end "the veggie version is 8$ more expensive than chicken?" And he just shrugged and said yes. Just found it interesting that a meat dish would be 8$ less than a purely cheese/veggie dish. Especially since done this in the past with no issue. I also asked for "hot sauce" for my dish. They brought out a spicier house salsa as the hot sauce...totally understandable and the salsa here is usually free. Apparently it's a 4$ "chipotle sauce" that the waiter did not inform me would be charged. I would've easily just said I want tapatio or no "hot sauce". I used maybe a teaspoon for 4$. I told the waiter this when we questioned the bill and he just shrugged. These may seem like small inconveniences but when they seem like they intentionally don't tell you the details and then when called out about it just kinda shrug it off, it was a disappointing end to an otherwise tasty dinner. We love it here and will certainly be back but it just sucks that I have to be extra cautious & skeptical when ordering from now on.

The decor is vibrant, the music adds to the energy, and the overall vibe is welcoming and enjoyable. The standout for me was the chicken burrito special--it was huge and packed with flavorful ingredients. You definitely get your money's worth! The fresh guacamole was another highlight. It tasted freshly made, with just the right balance of avocado, lime, and seasoning. The food was delicious overall, but the pickup service was a little slower than expected during my visit when it was crowded, which is why I'm giving it four stars instead of five. Even so, I'd happily come back for the giant burritos and fresh guac. If you're craving satisfying Mexican food in a fun setting, this place is definitely worth checking out.

Decor is nice and this restaurant is clean and well cared for.

You can park in the additional parking spots all around Shopper Ln. I have been a customer for many years and tried many delicious dishes. They serve a traditional Mexican open buffet at certain times. The waiting line is expected, but don't feel discouraged because it moves fast. The decor is vibrant enriched with colorful murals. The staff are very welcoming and genuinely warm. The restaurant has cozy and inviting ambience. Outdoor and indoor seating are available. I placed an online order for pickup. It was fast and convenient since I had friends coming for dinner. I ordered the following: - Burrito Panchon 5/5 Stuffed with carnita, beans and rice, served with cream, beans and guacamole. Huge portion! You can choose your protein. - Fajitas Cielo Mar Y Tierra 5/5 Marinated beef, shrimp, chicken. It served with sauteed bell peppers tomatoes and onions, rice, guacamole, beans and pico de gallo. It was smoky, savory and flavorful. - Vegetarian Enchiladas 5/5 Corn tortillas stuffed with bell pepper, corn, onion, carrot, cilantro, squash, and topped with a combination of cream and jack cheese. The portion was enormous. It was a very flavorful and savory. - Carna Asada 5/5 Flap meat marinated with homemade adobo. It served with pico de gallo, rice & guacamole. The meat was juicy and tender. It was such a delicious dish. - Empanadas 5/5 I chose chicken empanadas. It served with salad. The empanadas was crispy from outside and very flavorful. - Ensalada de Nopales 5/5 Diced cactus mixed with tomatoes, onion, lime, and cilantro. - Taquitos 5/5 It was crispy from outside with savory and juicy filling. - Taco de Cameron , taco de Pescado & taco de Birria 5/5 They were savory, juicy and delicious. - Beans 5/5 Topped with melted cheese, really delicious - Large Bionico Bowl 5/5 Fresh fruits like topped strawberries, mango, cantaloupe, banana, papaya, blueberries, apples, pineapple topped with granola and shaved coconut. It was rich, creamy. The fruits were fresh and sweet. It was heavenly! Every box was wrapped with layers of plastic wrap perfectly. I got a bag full of different types of salsa with my order and another bag with tortilla chips. The food portions were very generous. Every dish reflected authenticity and deliciousness.

I recently tried the shrimp and octopus campechana cocktail here, and it was absolutely delicious! Served in a beautiful glass, it was loaded with fresh ingredients--tender shrimp, perfectly cooked octopus, creamy avocado, and a mix of fresh tomatoes, onions, and cilantro that gave it a vibrant kick. The flavors were balanced and refreshing, perfect for a light but satisfying meal. The portion was generous, too, so it's definitely worth the price. Highly recommend this spot if you're craving a top-notch seafood cocktail! read more

Unfortunately that's about where any of the positives end. Service was absolutely horrendous. It was a solid five minutes before we were even acknowledged. She took our order, I asked for chips and salsa. She said she would bring them, and then never came back. We flagged down another server and she brought them for us. Our food was delivered about two minutes later And again, no one ever came back. We had to flag down another server for boxes and our check.

Sooo GOOD!!!! Food is amazing here! Thank you Victoria for the great service!…read more We came in on a Friday night, it was Simi packed but easy to get a table. Our first time eating in at their new location. We were long time customers of their previous location on Garey, and we are big fans of this style Mexican food. It's white washed,but not too white washed where it loses flavor. It still has spice and flavors, and they use all white meat chicken! We ordered two wet burritos with green sauce. I was in heaven! It is big enough I could only eat half, and brought the other half home for lunch the next day! The chips are just OK here, but somewhat addictive. You can't stop eating these over cooked hard shells! Lol. Your first batch is free, then they charge you $2.50 if you want more. They use to give you unlimited chips at their old location. They should bring that back because these chips cost nothing to make. That was a little disappointing. .50 cent charge for more salsa too. I guess they gotta pay that high rent somehow, right?! Check back in the future, I'm guessing they will change this when they have been at this location a bit longer. All in all, same great food, different servers tho. Our server Victoria was a total sweetheart! Very attentive and returned offen to fill our waters. This location was a little shocking. We thought it would be a new modernized restaurant since they took so long to reopen a new location. This location/building seemed even older than their last one. It is like walking into the 70's! At least they have A/C, but it's a very strange layout. There is even a strange kitchen attached to the dining area where they handle takeout orders. It has an old fireplace that seems to be ignored, it's a missed opportunity for a cute decor/photo op for new customers. They should spruce this area up with some plants and a neon sign! We really love Los Jarritos and will be life long customers. They could sell their food out of a tent and we would come, so them being back open, is all that matters to us! Welcome back Los Jarritos, and congratulations!!!

And they started me with chips and salsa which was decent. In my heart of hearts I was craving a bean and cheese burrito and although the cheese wasn't fully melted, it still hit the spot and it was a good size burrito. The criticism: Found the taco to be very mid. The meat was dry, tough and almost flavorless with a haphazard sprinkle of pico de gallo and the tortillas were nothing special. I used the salsa from the chips and salsa but honestly it wasn't enough, and would've appreciated more salsa options. Chalupa was a bit spicier and more flavorful with shredded beef inside. There was some random guac on the side that also had no flavor. Like damn, squeeze some lime on that b*tch, and maybe some salt. Serving with limes on the side would've gone a long way actually. I feel like it's a basic spot for basic, mostly white Claremont clientele. I'd come back for a convenient lunch but I'd never recommend it to a friend who is actually interested in good ethnic food.

Then I realized I pass it pretty often when leaving work, so when I was in the area with my family, we decided to finally stop in. The place looked pretty run-down when we walked in, and unfortunately the first impression didn't get much better. The person taking our order wasn't particularly welcoming or service-forward, and the table we sat at was noticeably sticky. While we were waiting, a friend of the owners came in and was loudly dropping plenty of profanity, which seemed to be perfectly welcome. Meanwhile, the same person who took our order was now in the back preparing our food. We tried the crunchy homestyle hard-shell tacos that seem to be the big thing online, along with a couple of street tacos. The food itself wasn't terrible. It was definitely on the greasy side, but there was some flavor there. I just wouldn't describe it as particularly authentic or something I would go out of my way for. For me, the bigger issue was the overall experience. The condition of the restaurant, the cleanliness of the table, and the general lack of attention to the customer experience all added up. Maybe we caught them on an off day, but based on this visit, I wouldn't go back or recommend it.
