If this place were more efficient, it would be a lot better. The food is just as good as their other locations, but on busy days the operation really struggles. When it's not crowded, everything runs smoothly--for the most part, but sometimes you experience unexpected wait times. I used to order company lunches here for Thanksgiving Eve and Christmas Eve because my staff loves it. But my last two experience were rough--I waited over an hour and fifteen minutes for an order I placed the day before, scheduled for the earliest pickup time (around 10:20-10:30 AM). I arrived on time and didn't leave until nearly 11:50 AM. When things get hectic, their efficiency clearly drops. On another occasion--Thanksgiving Eve 2025--they even declined a large pickup order (attempted to order the day before), saying they couldn't fulfill that many meals. I've picked up large orders twice per year in 2023, 2024, but in 2025, I couldn't anymore. My orders were the same, for about 15-17 meals. I ended up going to another similar restaurant that people know for Thanksgiving 2025, and for Christmas 2025, they forced to get the party platters instead of individual meals. I assume they limited large orders because of efficiency concerns and to avoid things getting too hectic. I'm not entirely sure, but I'll try again later this year to see if I can place a large holiday order for my staff. read more

Fun Facts About Founder: In January, 1984, Albert Okura opened the first Juan Pollo in Ontario, California. His brother-in-law, Armando Parra, helped to develop the initial rotisserie chicken recipe deriving back from his roots in Chihuahua, Mexico. Juan Pollo Mission Statement: We believe that the most important interactions happen across the dinner table with the people we cherish most. Our dedication revolves around three main aspects of life: 1) Food not only nourishes our bodies, it reminds us of who we are, and where we come from. Nothing brings us closer than sharing great food. 2) Family is the most important aspect of life. The meals we provide and share with our families should bring us happiness and joy. 3) Fiestas allow us to share the joys of life with the people we care for most. This is what makes life worth living. =========================== Juan Pollo Promo: Currently, they have a 2 chicken deal for $23.99 that includes tortillas and salsa. The last day for the deal is 10/31/2025. Credit Cards: Credit cards are accepted, but there is a surcharge. Restrooms: No restroom available at the shop. Visitation Rights: Been to this location once, but I've patronized the east la location in the past. Location/Parking: Located on the SE corner of Olympic and Garfield. Parking can be found in the shared lot or either on Olympic or Garfield. Ambiance/Decor: Small shop with some modern furnishings. Service: Service was very good. The staffer behind the register was patient and attentive. My food didn't take long to be ready. Food Of Choice: I got the 2 chicken deal that came with tortillas and salsa. Chicken was quite delicious. It was tender, juicy, and quite flavorful. Literally, fell off the bone. :) Juan Pollo For Thought: Would definitely come back for the chicken and try their potato salad. read more

The food is so delicious always fresh salsa is amazing. Potato salad is always nice and cold and fresh.

We ordered a 2 chicken family meal with 3 large sides. The sides were all great and the tortillas were hot and fresh! The chicken was super flavorful, but I had to take a star off for the cost. For $50 the chickens were super skimp! Like each half the size of a Costco rotisserie chicken. Our group of 5 finished the chicken fast but we had a bunch of leftover sides. Bigger chickens please! read more

Sitting in the lobby today eating my burrito and all I want to do is leave. One of the male workers in the back, maybe the cook is yelling and calling another of his co-workers names. This has escalated into a screaming match where one of the co-workers was screaming back at the guy and finally, slammed some boxes, stormed out of the back, slamming the door and knocking the nest thermostat off the wall to the ground. One of the female workers is trying to calm the guy in the back down, but he is yelling and slamming things in the back. The 2 female workers look shaken and scared. Customers left the store, and I left my burrito behind because it was getting out of hand. So many pots and pans or trays being slammed around and I saw a worker grab the phone and make a call to the police, I hope. read more

Great food this location tends to get busy . Plenty of parking . Used to have amazing flan

good food for a little family like a family for 10 got rotisserie green salad rice is great very

Like always my craving was met Not just by the amazing food the chicken potato salad beans warm tortillas but the excellent customer service you can't beat this place I come here at least once twice a week hope to see you next time take the survey and receive a dessert!!! read more

This place is delicious however, every time I walk in to order either a lunch meal or a family meal, they never have chicken available. This has happened to me at least 3-4 times now. It's always a miss. I understand if there are big catering orders that sell things out, but how do you not have chicken available for small walk-in meals? Family meals aren't always planned ahead -- sometimes you just need to grab something quickly. There should be enough prepared for regular customers. It's frustrating to keep coming back and leaving empty-handed. Makes you wonder how this place is being run. read more

Chicken is good but the sides have down graded so much not in size but in taste The potato salad is awful and always smells sour now Last time I got I thought maybe it was just a bad batch I haven't gone in awhile and went back today and it had the same sour taste and smell like last time so they obviously changed something in it Rice is always dry now as well read more

We got chicken today. I noticed that they do run out of chickens. They're saying when I ordered there's only like six chickens left. I don't know why this place always runs out of chicken. read more

Good flavor chicken good service highly recommended for a family dinner and good for a last-minute dinner pick up

I have nothing but gratitude for the management and Selena, worker there, for donating chicken to my mom's funeral. My honest review.... usually when you order bulk chicken sometimes the chicken is dry, overcooked or undercook but in this case the chicken was right on spot and to my surprise the chicken was very juicy, tasteful and well cooked all around. Thank you and God reward you for this donation. the Picazo family appreciates your gesture read more

The chicken was good. The rice was just steam rice with. Tiny bit if seasoning. The beans were bit insipid. The flower tortillas stuck to each other and were a bit difficult to separate, they were thick and doughy. I don't think we'll be back. Service was ok. Ambiance is quiet, no music or tv on. read more

I was realy hoping i was going to like this place. The assiciates are very u professional and lack customer service skills. Definitely need to train their associates on how to greet and smile at the customer. The chicken was way to salty to eat. The side orders are small. The only rhing that is generous are the tortillas. The ambiance is unprofessional . Associates shouldnt be talking about personal things infront of the guest . Specially the male cashier taking my order. I definitely dont recomend this place. Its not inviting and the food is not good . read more

I was talking to some customers and yeah they've been waiting a while , but don't lie to me when my food is ready when is not lol not hard to say But!!! The other Latina who's marble skin tone she had a fucking attitude compare to the rest of the crew.. her actions spoke words .. is like if she's has to work there . She'll give the food and not care to make sure if the customer had everything they ordered , compared to her co worker who I mentioned read more
