They say you dont know what you've got till it's gone really hits hard. I lived in Simi Valley for about 7 years, and once I left I realized how much I miss this place. Now when im in Simi or traveling through I always, always stop by. Now to my review. Food: 5/5 Price: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Excellent. Quite easily the best food in simi valley. I get the corona special which gives you chicken, pork chop and tri tip with tortilla and beans. I also order a side of rice. The taste is amazing and the quantity is enough to even get a big eater like myself full. Price: 5/5. Such a value for the amount you get and the quality. Even with inflation the prices have not increased as much as you would think. We usually spend around $40 for 2 people with extra rice, tax, drink and tip. Service: 5/5. Always friendly, always prompt and on point. In the 13 years I've been coming here, my order has never been wrong. Truly a wonderful family owned spot. Ambiance: 5/5. A nice local joint, nice place to sit outside and eat if you dont want to be inside. Its a nice local feel. read more

Always a hit. The chicken and tritip are juicy and flavorful. Never dry. Their burritos are great too. The Simi Valley location is better than Moorpark. read more

El Pollo Corona Grill - Mexican Near Me - Simi Valley, California

I've heard good things about this place; a few of my friends order catering from here for parties, so I've been wanting to check it out. Came for lunch and ordered the tritip and chicken plate that also comes with beans, tortillas, salsa and a grilled jalapeño. Food came out pretty fast. Tritip was sliced thin and very tender. Chicken had a nice flavor. The salsa was tasty and jalapeño spicy which I like. Restaurant is on the smaller side, about 7 or 8 tables. It has its own parking lot; there were a few spaces next to the restaurant but not sure if there are more in the back. Definitely a good lunch option and would eat here again. read more

Very, very good food, not fancy, but everything is made with care and love. Family owned and operated. Very accommodating. I've had most items on the menu and everything has always been top-notch. It is quick and convenient, but not fast food quality. read more

Food was delicious!! Excellent chicken. Ordered take out. Definitely going back again.

Hands down best Asada Burritos in So Cal. The chicken is great but you miss out if you don't get the asada.

I've lived in Simi for 5 years and feel stupid for waiting this long to eat here. This was hands down the best meal I've had in Simi .. and it's not even close. Clean fresh ingredients read more

If you enjoy El Pollo Loco, you will love the grilled chicken at El Pollo Corona Grill. The grilled chicken here is juicy and flavorful. They also serve grilled tri-tip, but I ordered the chicken because that seems to be the specialty here. The tortillas are mediocre and remind me El Pollo Loco quality. They don't make their own agua fresca here. Instead they serve Bang out of a dispenser. I am always turned off by Bang dispensers at restaurants. For a 2-piece chicken plate with corn tortillas, beans, and their blended salsa, it will run you almost $14-$15 with guilt tip. Knowing how their tortillas taste, I would not order a burrito here and just get a plate of chicken, rice, and beans. read more

Great food ! Homemade flour tortillas A+ . Great chicken , Tri tip , pork chops . Very good

My boyfriend brought me here for the first time yesterday and after over a year together, I asked him why this was the first time!! We got a two piece chicken and tri tip carne asada combination plate, and it was delicious! The meat was flavorful and juicy, the salsa had a different chili taste but was phenomenal and had a bit of kick but was not too spicy for this non-spicy food eater. As a side of frijoles de la olla, Mexican rice and tortillas and let's eat! I had a Negra Modelo and he had a Victora, they paired well. We sat outside on the patio because it was such a beautiful day and the umbrellas were open! So yummy... will def be back! read more

I thought the service was friendly and nice. The prices were decent. I got four pieces of chicken all white meat. The chicken was really tasty. But just a little bit salty. It came with some flour tortillas, beans, and salsa. I thought it was a nice healthy meal and I would definitely go back again and try the pork chops and the tri-tip. read more

Wow--what a find! After a long day of baseball, my family and I were looking for something satisfying (and not another fast food stop), and this place absolutely delivered. The chicken was incredibly flavorful, and the salsa had a fresh, spicy kick that really brought everything together. The service was just as impressive--friendly, welcoming, and genuinely kind. I'm not sure if the gentleman who helped us was the owner, but he went above and beyond. Our family meal didn't originally come with rice, but he graciously provided some for us so our kids could enjoy a full dinner. That small gesture made us feel truly valued as customers. This spot clearly has a loyal local following, and now we understand why. If you're in the area and looking for a break from the usual chain restaurants, do yourself a favor and try this place. I promise you won't regret it! read more

Most reliable and best quality. They may give worse pieces of chicken to less preferred guests. But it's still good.

My work would get their food brought in for team lunches. Stringy and very dried out chicken. People giving 5 stars here must have really low expectations for take out Mexican chicken. The trip tip is good. Rice and beans, salsa-basic. I ate it because it was free, but to go there and pay for this, sorry. No. read more

El Pollo Corona Grill - This place is Absolutely Amazing! Great Fresh Food! Very Clean Restaurant! Very Friendly Staff! - Mexican Near Me - Simi Valley, California

They have the best food, my favorite restaurant in Simi Valley. Good portions for the price. I love getting the bean cheese chicken rice burrito. Their chicken is seasoned and very fresh and taste amazing I like their menu choices to service was good. It was quiet. It was right next to the road easy parking very accessible. I definitely will be coming back. I love the side of town because all the Mexican restaurants are in a hub so I can just choose one, but it's very delicious. Definitely coming back. read more

Always a must when passing my Simi Valley. Chicken is very juicy and tasty. Best price in town. The salsa is homemade and has good size pieces of tomato and cilantro. The parking is good. Will definitely be coming back read more

I just can't stop from coming back here Great place and great food Owner is very friendly and restaurant has steady following. While prices went up everywhere- still reasonable for great tasting food. Signed, Russian guy who's been eating here since 2000 read more

Ordered a tri-tip burrito with beans and rice. Was like more like bean chili in a tortilla with some meat in it.

I'd give 6 stars. Food tastes like home. Very sweet people. Had our food out before we even paid. It was like they were waiting for us.

My mom always orders us the family packs from here for family gatherings, including the tri-tip the pork chops, the chicken, the beans, the rice, the tortillas and the salsa. I have always loved the food from here and get excited when she tells us that's what she's serving at our family dinner. The meats are always nice and tender and exploding with flavor. Tonight I was close by and craving a burrito. I decided for my first time I was going to stop by and order my own dinner from here. I went with the tri-tip wet burrito. It was excellent. It came with a roasted jalapeño, which was so delicious. I can't believe all these years I have never stopped in to grab food here. The service was great, the cashier was very welcoming. The food didn't take too long to prepare and the place was clean with plenty of parking available. read more

Came this morning about 9::0 was craving a burrito. Only two people eating there. Got my food quick took it home. Not a lot of tri tip more rice and flavor wasn't as good as usual. Their price has stayed consistent, which is great! It filled me up, so I guess that's what matters most. read more

Great place, friendly staff, the food is always good, and their prices are fair. I stop in whenever I am in the area.

My family and I have tried this place twice with various menu items such as the burritos, chicken combos, and quesadillas. Both times were underwhelming. The burritos lack flavor, the salsa tastes like they just puree'd tomatoes and called it a day, the chips + tortillas are super thin, and the beans are, for lack of a better word, lame. Their only redeeming foods are the chicken and rice. I do have to say the restaurant is aptly named as the chicken is cooked to perfection, moist, and flavorful. The rice also has a good texture and tastes great. But literally everything else I've had has been disappointing. The service is fine and the ambiance is average. read more

El Pollo Corona Grill - 1/2 chicken - Mexican Near Me - Simi Valley, California

I ordered a whole chicken for $24 .50 and it wasn't a whole chicken 4 breast pieces ,two legs, two wings. Where are the thighs. Bullshit

Place from outside doesn't seem too attractive, but always noticed people enjoying themselves there when I drove by. I have now visited twice and have been very impressed each time. My first try I went basic, #1 which if you like El Pollo Loco this is a 10x better version. The chicken is moist and very flavorful. Well-cooked. Beans and salsa are also very tasty sides. My second visit, I did the chicken burrito. The chicken with all the fillings was the perfect combination and amounts. I am almost scared to try the tri tip just because the chicken has been nearly perfect each time. Will continue to make this place a lunch stop. read more

First timer here... and it was soooo good! I went as a recommendation of a friend and my goodness, it did not disappoint. Not sure what took me so long to try it out but I'm sure glad that I finally did. I'll be back again, tri tip was killer and the chicken was delicious. read more

Excellent service, and even more so excellent Tri-Tip!! All the food is excellent. Quick and friendly service.

Everything is aways fresh and you'll be in and out in MINUTES! The tri tip has now become my favorite, the salsa is amazing (has a bit of a kick). Parking is hit or miss but we'll worth it. read more

Translated to "The Chicken Corona Grill" for you gringos, this place is known for its smokey flavored chicken and tri tip. I had the wet chicken burrito that comes stuffed with rice, beans, sour cream, cheese, and a little bit of chicken. I would've liked more chicken in my burrito but I understand they're trying to keep costs down for both themselves and customers. Two burritos and two drinks with free chips and salsa was all only $33. I am not a fan of whole pinto beans in my burritos and prefer refried, but the beans were not too bad, definitely a magical fruit though, the more I eat the more I toot. I tried the Jamaica and Horchata, both were good. The salsa is mild, almost bland, so I asked for a side of hot sauce. I poured this disappointingly small cup of hot sauce on my burrito and it added a nice spice, or so I thought. After a brief pause to take a sip of my drink and remind myself I have to chew as I tend to always be in a hurry, I felt a tingling on my lips. Then that tingling began in the rest of my mouth. I quickly realized why they give you such a small cup of hot sauce when my nose began to run and my eyes began to water. Like a looney tunes episode, I imagined my ears began to smoke and fire shot out of my mouth. I looked at the cup and saw the little chili pepper seeds laughing at me. I started to chug horchata to put the flames out. I'm no weakling so I kept at it, bite after bite, and the heat began to subside, I must have just gotten too many seeds in my salsa. Soon I was happy there was more rice in the burrito than anything because it was a welcome relief, like baking soda on a grease fire. I ended the meal by eating all the chips, and some of my wife's burrito to extinguish the flames. Stuffed to the point of immobility, I wasn't disappointed with trying out this spot. The service was fast and friendly. The portions were large, and the price was right. I can see why people like this place though I'm not sure it's what I crave when I want Mexican food. Well that's this critic's review, until next time, I'll be eating. read more

I ordered the chicken nachos and they were more like Chiliquilles. The chips were soggy in red sauce. The chicken itself tasted good however I wouldn't have called them nachos. We ordered by phone and one of the orders was wrong. A co worker ordered the Al Pastor nachos and nothing was said by phone that the meat wasn't available. Once we went to pick up the order they made the choice themselves to give her Tri tip instead and handed us the already made tri tip nachos. We should've been told then given the option to choose something else. She didn't want tri tip but took it anyways since we were time sensitive (work). read more
