    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.

    Only the best chicken.

    Best tasting chicken in town. The moistness and texture and the flavor can't be beat. Sorry Elpollo Loco...Not Sorry.

    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.

    Half chicken and 2 sides

    I've been coming here for years. The chicken is well seasoned and juicy. Probably one of the best rotisserie chicken I've had.

Portions were great for sharing, and the sauces really tied everything together. Service was friendly and our server checked in on us throughout the night without making us feel rushed.

It's rare to find a restaurant that maintains such a high standard year after year, but DAMA does exactly that. I truly love this place and can't recommend it enough. I have several favorite dishes and celebrated many birthdays here. Thank you for six incredible years--I look forward to many more.

Cute building with lovely patio seating: from the trailing hanging pothos plants, Spanish tiles, to relaxing latin-house music the vibes were welcoming. I'm not much of a drinker though, when asked if I wanted to make my pina colada a "float" I thought incorrectly about ice cream. It was graciously explained that you take an additional shot of rum and float it on top of the drink or mix in to make it extra boozy. The pina colada is top notch they hollow out a real pineapple to make the drink and it's the size of your face! The watermelon cocktail was delicious and there is also a mezcal option. Tasted like if a watermelon aqua Fresca was combined with a margarita, there is a hint of salt that brings out the fruit sweetness. We special ordered a bunch of different proteins and vegetables at half portions to make a feast: Aguachile- Light refreshing starter, kanpachi perfectly marinated and great for the summer heat. Crispy potato- Phenomenally done fingerling potatoes. Whipped beans- Carnitas on top made this dish. Fried chicken tacos- Found the chicken slightly on the dry side, if there was a creamy/thicker sauce would be even better... nothing wrong with flavor, good mild heat. I did enjoy the fresh shredded cabbage and carrots, reminded me of bahn mi. Empanadas- Loved the acidity of the sauce that cut through the fattiness of the ground meat. Light shell. Crispy Squash flower- Delicate crunch, like an angelic version of a jalapeno popper. Lamb chops- Definition of "treat-yourself" luxurious meat lollipops. Celery salad- Simple dish but the lemon flavor and tartness really helped break up the richness of other dishes. Churros- Light crunch and small, petite dessert. The thin caramel sauce is addicting. Fine dining, for those special occasions or if you just want to splurge for a morale boost highly recommend this restaurant. Valet parking or park across the street or around the corner in a lot for $5-10.

Located between Koreatown and Pico-Union, this restaurant delivers an outstanding dining experience from the moment you're seated. My wife and I both ordered the Mole Coloradito with chicken, and it was absolutely delicious. One detail we really appreciated was being able to choose between white meat or dark meat--a thoughtful touch that lets you customize your meal to your preference. The mole was rich, complex, and full of flavor, exactly what you would hope for from a restaurant known for its Oaxacan specialties. As a welcome appetizer, they bring fresh chips and salsa to the table, but what really impressed us was when they replaced the salsa with their incredible mole sauce. It was so good we found ourselves dipping everything into it. Both meals were served with rice that was perfectly cooked with a great consistency and flavor. For those feeling adventurous, give the Chapulines (grasshoppers) a try. They may sound intimidating, but they were surprisingly enjoyable and added to the authentic experience. The staff was exceptionally friendly, attentive, and patient with those of us who are not fluent in Spanish. Their hospitality made us feel comfortable and welcomed throughout our visit. Great food, authentic flavors, and wonderful service make Guelaguetza a restaurant we'll definitely be returning to. Highly recommended!
