    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 ...

    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.

    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.

    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

    Green pozole and toppings galore

    Unsuspecting place with amazing amazing food . Can't wait to be back Service was quick and the inside is so cute. A must go if you're in the area. You won't be disappointed

    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!

    Beef taquitos and Carnitas street tacos.

    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.

    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.

    Muy rico y excelente servicio.

    Muy rico excelente servicio recomendado. El lugar esta muy lindo, limpio . Las porciones bastante abundantes.

    I give it another chance, and it's actually went well. Waiters check on us, ask how our food, and ask if we need more drinks. And Fries is amazing. Ambience: Great. Foods: amazing. Waiter: super nice. Waiting: better than before.

    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

    Cup Noodles is one of the most consistent restaurants I've ever been to. I've ordered online and…read moredined in person, and every time I get the same quality food. It's hot, tasty, and the same portion all the time. The store itself is in the same plaza as 99 ranch. It's a cute little cafe looking shop. Sometimes there's a wait to get in, but the turnover is mostly quick. You can order through Uber Eats or online through their website. My favorite is how numbing and actually spicy the dishes are. I love being in pain, and when you ask for spicy, you will get spicy. My go to is the chongqing zajiang or the yibin burning noodles. I've also tried chengdu zajiang and the sour pickled mustard with shredded pork, the stir fried potatoes, and the chicken with chili sauce. All dishes were excellent. They were very filling and delicious. The prices are extremely reasonable because they give you a good amount of food and the quality is great. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    I honestly don't understand the positive reviews. After eating Asian food for many years, this was…read moreone of the worst dining experiences I've had. We ordered the cold chicken and cold beef appetizers, and both were disgusting. They were cold, unappealing, and lacked the quality I would expect from a restaurant charging these prices. The chicken fried rice had very little chicken and seemed to have way too much soy sauce. The tofu with white rice was also bland and not appealing. The noodles were extremely al dente--almost like they were cooked for an Italian pasta dish. Meanwhile, the dumplings were overcooked. The service was another disappointment. Our server didn't even ask what we wanted to drink. We all ended up with water because the server never came back to offer us anything else. And then came something I found absolutely ridiculous: we were told by the servers that if the restaurant became busy, we might have to move from our table or share the table with other customers. What kind of dining experience is that? If I'm paying restaurant prices for my meal, I expect to be able to sit at my table and enjoy my dinner without being told that strangers may be seated with us. For the prices they charge, I expected much better food, preparation, service, and overall hospitality. Instead, the food was either bland, overly dependent on soy sauce, undercooked, or overcooked, and the service was poor. Unfortunately, after this experience, I would not return. Very disappointing from start to finish.

I was surprised because there was only one couple in the restaurant besides us and they had already received their food. They could have been busy with online orders, but I still felt like it was slow service for being nearly empty inside. They have a self serve sauce bar. It just has soy, soy mixed sauce, chili oil, and black vinegar. I ordered the Wide Hand Pulled Noodles, Green and Onion Pot Stickers, and the Beef Rolls. Wide Hand Pulled noodles were ok. Honestly not much to brag about. I thought the noodles were cooked well but the flavor didn't really stand out to me. I believe it's served with chili oil, a mound of minced garlic and some vegetables. Outside of those ingredients I thought it needed more flavor or substance. The beef rolls were ok to me as well. I liked how crispy the roll was and size. Good portions of sliced beef served with cilantro. It was refreshing but the meat was generally cold with some warmness provided by the roll. But that quickly faded. Would prefer it to be warmer. The highlight was the pot stickers. Beef and onion were good. Really enjoyed the presentation of the dish. The edges of the pot sticker were really thick. Almost chip like. I enjoyed it as much as the dish itself. Would get it again. Overall I thought the food was ok. I'm sure there are better highlight dishes than what I ordered but they weren't selected this go around. Also the prices are a little higher than most dumpling spots so I just expected more.

I'm not sure if they forgot to season it before bringing it to us, esp because the staff knew fish sauce was gluten free. It was honestly very disappointing. There was also a staff member who seemed new at the job that kept saying incorrect things without asking someone that knew more. He first told us that there was no gluten free menu option, which was later corrected by another more knowledgeable server. Make sure to ask someone who looks like they know what they're doing!
