    This review is based on the service we experienced today. My partner, our 5-year-old daughter, and I visited The Pozole Place on a Sunday. We placed an order for pozole, a tamal, and chorizo fundido. While waiting, my daughter kept saying she was very hungry, so I politely got up and asked our server if there was any item that could come out a little faster for her. The server responded that nothing would be ready in less than 15 minutes, which I understood, and I returned to our table. Our server then came to our table and explained that Sundays are very busy and asked if we wanted to cancel our order. We said no and continued waiting while explaining to our daughter that it would take some time. However, she continued asking if we wanted to cancel. Shortly after, she told us she had already canceled our order because I had asked about the wait time. I was surprised because I never asked to cancel the order -- I only asked if anything could come out sooner for my hungry child. At that point, we realized our food would take even longer because the order had been canceled, so we decided to leave. My partner commented that it was upsetting the order had been canceled without our approval, and the situation escalated quickly. The woman, who later identified herself as the owner, became very loud in front of customers waiting at the door, which was embarrassing for us. I tried calmly explaining to a customer near the entrance what had happened, but the owner came back, shut the door in my face, and told me I was never welcome there again, claiming we "always make problems there." That statement was completely untrue. We had not been there in over a year, and we had never had any issues during previous visits. So she is such a big liar. We ended up going to Casa Rubio's instead, where we received great service and enjoyed good food :) We are foodies and never had an issue before at any other restaurant ...

    Sharing for my pozole eating people ! Today We tried the green and red pozole and both were very tasty ! Very authentic and took the craving off my list ! The server was very kind and knowledgeable of the food . We received our order fast and the restaurant was clean and inviting! Only one thing I was a little disappointed on was the horchata had no refills .. but that won't stop me from coming back .. see you again friends . Thanks for the wonderful service

    Carne asada burrito with lettuce and tomato's

    The restaurant is not very big. It's cozy and comfortable. The staff was nice. The carne asada burrito was very good. There was no fatty meat inside. I added lettuce and tomato to the burrito. The chicken pozole was hot n tasty. A little spicy for my wife and I but very good. The waitress said it wasn't spicy but that's an individuals opinion. If you don't eat spicy food it will probably be spicy for you.

    I generally love this place. This is my go to place with my son. The restaurant is cozy and staff are always friendly. Food is great. Guacamole and chips are delicious! The drinks come in a large glass which I love to order an horchata with dinner. Funny enough I haven't had their pozole but have tried their tacos and burritos. My kids love this place as well. Hope you enjoy!

    Food was amazing, service was absolutely outstanding, and love the ambiance! We sat in the outside patio area, which is cozy and intimate. Our server was really attentive and friendly as well. We'll definitely be back to eat here again, the pozole was delicious and so was the California burrito. 5 stars!

    First time here. Looking for tamales and saw their menu and giving them a try. Looking forward to tasting the pork tamales. Service was amazing and the restaurant is small but cute and clean with plenty of parking.

    Beef taquitos and Carnitas street tacos.
    Christina A.

    This is my 4th time trying this place. I get different things every time I come this time I got taquitos I really wanted flautas, but they said they didn't have them. I got Carnitas tacos and two tamales with raja's and cheese. The last time I came I wasn't very pleased with my order especially for the price so I said I wasn't gonna come back but I'm back today. My food was very good. My only complaint would be. I only got a couple of specs of cilantro and onions in my tacos. I've tried all their tamales and I did not care for any of them except these. They are absolutely delicious. I got an order for my daughter when she comes to visit tonight. Two carne asada tacos and one of the tamales. She will love the fact that they give radishes on the side. I took my food to go, and it was very mellow and clean inside.

    Ohhhh here we go those potato tacos I mentioned in my review.
    Brenda M.

    Excellent customer service to begin with :) Probably one of the best potato tacos I've had in a long time totally different than anything. I've tasted.. love the little place very quaint Pozole is absolutely delicious. RED or Green . It's either posole or potato tacos. I don't like to veer off too much.. I have referred my family and friends to The Pozole Place when they are on that side of town.. My Sister & brother n law totally AGREE WITH ME.

    Muy rico y excelente servicio.

    The Pozole Place is one of my go to spots in Rancho Cucamonga, and it never disappoints. I come here often, and every single visit the food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and tastes like true comfort food. What really sets them apart for me is that they have menudo on deck 7 days a week, which is rare and such a huge win when that craving hits. Not many places can keep that kind of consistency, but they absolutely do. It's not loud and I get my work done on my laptop as I enjoy some evenings. Their pozole is always rich and packed with flavor, the portions are generous, and the service is always friendly and welcoming. You can tell they really care about quality. If you're in Rancho Cucamonga and want authentic Mexican comfort food that hits every time, I highly recommend this place.

    We loved the food it was delicious and never lets us down. We always enjoy the service here, and Nora our server was very helpful and welcoming. We'll definitely return again we hadn't been to Pozole Place in over a year and once again did not disappoint. We came on Memorial Day and the atmosphere was set up nice and honoring.

    Can you add albondigas de res or turkey to your menu I love to be able to eat soups during the week all year long?

    We are strongly considering adding Albóndigas to the menu in the near future. It has been heavy requested.

    Are you the same owners as T&T off Foothill?

    Yes, same family.

    Anyone ever try the carne asada fries? What do they have in them? Pictures?

    The fries were good but not enough meat on the fires, maybe add extra meat when u order

To my surprise there was no chicken as requested. I just checked with the sever to ensure I was not charged the additional fee for protein. The rice was crunchy, and the beans was not even above room temp. To me this indicates food that sat awhile. While the flavor of the enchiladas was decent, the cheese was already starting to solidify again. I do not plan to return.

I ordered a few platters including the taco and the loaded nachos. The price is fairly generous, probably closer to what you might get at a takeout than a traditional sit down restaurant. There's actually a lot of seating available whether inside or outside. The staff was all pretty nice and welcoming as well. If I asked for anything like extra plates or utensils, they usually greeted me with a smile. As for the cuisine, it was okay. I think it is suited for a particular taste. Most of the meat we ordered was well done. Well done but not overly dry. More like a crunchy texture. That was true of the asada, carnita, and chicken. If you are used to your meat a little bit more rare or juicy, then this style may not be for you. I thought it was fine but it just depends on your taste buds. I really wanted to give the place 4-stars or even 5. The staff was good, food was fine, and prices all affordable but the place had one problem. Initially, I wanted to eat outside and enjoy some summer breeze with my family. However, there were too many flies attracted to our meal. I was not sure whether it was due to this restaurant or its neighbors. Unfortunately, the flies followed us inside during our meal as well. It may be a non-issue in the colder months but it was a noticeable nuisance during our meal.

Our hostess was kind and checked in on my reservation. The food was a mixed bag - the house sauce was a bit bland, but the habanero sauce was delicious, with just the right balance of tanginess and heat. My friend ordered a plate of nachos for the table, which came with chicken that, oddly, didn't taste like chicken. It was almost as if it had been cooked in the same area as the fish, but it was still edible. Our server, Priscilla, was very attentive, checking in frequently and keeping the good beers flowing, even on a busy game night. The carnitas were good, but we'll try something else next time.
