    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
    Manuel G.

    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.

    Quesadilla - pretty large

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Been coming here since they opened and it's safe to say that the food quality never disappoints. The taste is delicious and stays consistent. The service is always top tier, fast and friendly staff. We love coming back and seeing the lovely decor and ambiance of this place! The owl decor gives it a unique feeling.

    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

    ​The Ultimate Souplantation Nostalgia--and Still Hits the Spot!…read more ​Soup 'n Fresh in Rancho Cucamonga has officially become my go-to tradition for my annual performance review with my manager. The moment you walk in and sit down, you get that instant, amazing "blast from the past" feeling of classic Souplantation. ​The Game Plan ​To Start: A big plate of Asian salad alongside hot cornbread slathered in honey butter. ​The Carbs & Soups: Next up is the focaccia bread paired with my two absolute favorite soups: the New England Clam Chowder and the Chicken Tortilla. ​If Space Permits: The mac & cheese is always calling my name if I'm not already stuffed. ​The Grand Finale: You physically cannot leave without building a mountain of soft-serve ice cream. ​Service & Quality ​Huge shoutout to the manager, Greg! He took the time to share his personal menu favorites with us and gave us the inside scoop--everything at the Rancho location is made completely in-house. That extra touch and fresh quality make a huge difference. ​No matter the occasion, I always leave here happy. I'll definitely be back for my next review... as long as I don't get fired between now and then! Highly recommended!

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.

The broth had great depth of flavor without being too heavy, making it perfect for sipping between bites. Of course, pho isn't complete without appetizers! I had to get the egg rolls and spring rolls. Egg Rolls: So flavorful with the perfect light crunch. Honestly, I always have to order egg rolls with pho because it's just the perfect combo. Spring Rolls: Fresh, delicious, and paired perfectly with the peanut sauce. The ingredients tasted fresh and the sauce added the perfect creamy, nutty finish. As for those free noodle refills, I actually didn't end up needing them! They give you a generous amount of noodles to begin with, so I was completely satisfied with my bowl. For dessert, I treated myself to a Vietnamese Iced Coffee with Ube Cold Foam. Vietnamese coffee is always one of my favorites because it's strong, rich, and sweet all at the same time. The ube cold foam was such a fun addition and complemented the coffee perfectly. Beyond the food, I absolutely loved the atmosphere. The restaurant is beautiful with lots of greenery, creating a relaxing and inviting ambiance. The staff was also incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Overall: 10/10 experience! Great food, beautiful space, friendly service, and those free noodle refills are such a bonus. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes and would absolutely recommend checking this spot out!

The noodles were definitely my favorite part of the meal--they had the best flavor. The fried rice was decent, but my husband and I weren't fans of the dumplings. The wrappers were much too thick for our liking, which took away from the filling. The customer service was just okay, nothing memorable. The restaurant also didn't have any music playing, so it felt a little awkward hearing everyone's conversations while we were eating. The inside was pretty plain as well--not a cute or aesthetic spot if that's something you look for. One thing that really stood out was that they didn't provide us with plates, only small bowls, which made it inconvenient to share and enjoy our food.Unfortunately, this place just wasn't for us, and we don't plan on coming back.
