“Food was very good . The Big Birria Quesadilla is big enough for 2 people to share. One Quesabirria taco is really big. While they are very generous on the birria and cheese the rice and beans portions are very small. One Consome broth Small is enough for 3 people. You can use this broth to add more to your food. We ordered 1 per person lol. Way too much. Service was good. Food came pretty quickly. The restaurant is in a barrio/neighborhood in Ontario. We went at 11 am and it was pretty quiet. I'm not sure how it is in the evening.“

“We are so fortunate to come across Glorias Cocina Mexicana in Ontario , CA. We were looking for a business that featured mariachi band with a great atmosphere. They definitely delivered that to our group. The service was spot on always being available & attentive. We were there for the Easter celebration and our fathers 90th birthday. All our food came out hot and delicious. Our cocktails were tasty as they have a huge selection of tequilas. If you are looking for a good time then head to Glorias. The manager Ricardo really took care of us and made us wanting to come back for more. Thank you.“
“This is the best hole in the wall (and I mean that in a good way) taco shop I've experienced in a very long time. Now, I did come here on Taco Tuesday so maybe the low price is weighing my decision a little. We ordered six tacos, one of each protein and all were tasty, tender and moist. The tortillas were fresh and the salsa was pretty good too. I saw someone sit down with a plate of nachos and the homemade tortilla chips looked fantastic! Next time I drop in I'll be getting a burrito and taking some tortilla chips home. You know it's got to be good Mexican food when you're the only white boy in there!“
“Wow. Fantastic! Can't wait to come back here and bring more friends and my husband! Came here for lunch with my parents and everything was beyond excellent! The food, amazing. Service, with a smile. Speed, perfect. Ambience, authentic and cheerful. Parking, free right in front. Portions, enormous. As soon as we sat, there was chips/salsa (very good). There is also a takeout counter. We got a carnitas burrito (the pork was not as crispy as my mom wanted but still large and delicious). Came with a bit of lettuce on the side. Dad got his fave combination: enchilada (all default cheese but you can add beef or chicken for $.99) and chile relleno (soooo good. A bit spicy but delicious texture and flavor) with rice and beans. I just got a tamale (pork only). It came topped with green chile verde pork with red pork inside. Piping hot, meat so tender (and I don't even really like meat!) Dad tried a sangria soda for the first time and our server said it used to be his fave as a kid since he said it tastes like wine. They also had this sign right by our booth which made us think it was meant to be that we made it here. Thanks Yelp for the suggestion! Everday is a gift! And this day was even better thanks to this restaurant!!“
“My family and I were visiting Ontario Ca and I went on Tik Tok to find a good place to eat. This restaurant popped up saying how good their pizzas is. They weren’t wrong, it was so good 10 out of 10. The owner was very sweet and brought us out a slice of pizza since it was one of their well known pizzas. Definitely will be back!!!“
“Customer service is great! Just welcoming me when I walked in was a plus. The food is tasty, fresh, and quick! The fountain drinks are not watered down and hit the spot. Now, my fav taco spot is TacoNazzo but that's a good drive for me, but La Bufadora tastes JUST LIKE THEM. All they are missing is that lime salt stuff TacoNazzo spreads all over their peppers. I luv this place. Go eat, it's clean, it's good, you'll feel welcomed.“
“Juanitas is always good! It is consistently the same for the 35+ years I have been eating here. The food is fresh and hot, and the homemade flour tortillas are yummy! If you haven't tried it, you need to. Don't forget to add the chips and get more of that hot sauce to dip them into your order! I take my food to go, or sit on the little patio weather permitting.“
“Fantastic and friendly service- thank you! Ordered 3 dozen tamales for New Year’s Day based on reviews and they did not disappoint! Very good masa and ratio to meat was good! Really tasty - we ate them all up. Now we will be back to try other items on the menu.“
“My first time having tortas! I ordered carne asada, and it was delicious. It's super filling, especially with fries. I popped in for a Friday lunch, and they were slow. There is tons of seating, casual, family friendly, and tv's around. The gentlemen working the counter were kind and helpful, offering recommendations. The food was made quickly. I'd definitely stop by again.“
“Good vibes. Loud environment for dinner party. Great service . There always friendly. Food is good even special request. Carne asada is good when they serve it hot. A few times had to send it back . But only that plate seems to get warm quick.“
“In town for the weekend and looking for quick dine-in dinner. Chrissypoo was our server lolReally good food for casual Mexican restaurant. I was shocked how fast the food came out, large portions and for very decent price. Overall great experience and good food, fast. Friendly staff and atmosphere“
“The new weekend brunch buffet was amazing! Everything was so flavorful and fresh, with so many different options, such as green/red chilaquiles, green/red pozole, chipotle chicken, menudo, pancakes, etc. Even an omelette station where someone will grill up your custom egg creation or just a fried egg if ya want. Oh and of course they are known for their panaderia, so you know there is bomb pastries. This place has been in Pomona for around 20 years and they recently revamped the inside and menu. Looks like a scene out of Encanto lol so cute. My go-to is always going to be the tortas! Don't miss out on this hidden gem and the service of hard working and kind people. Gotta love the manager's singing too!“
“Great place to get birria in Ontario, CA. It’s tasty and these people are nice. This place is the bomb because it’s not overpriced like most other places. Tacos start at $2. You even get a car freshener with your order! Very good place to get good quality food. They are so meticulous that you get a bag with cilantro, onions and limes ?“
“We came in on a Sunday. The selection of the buffet was great, good variety. American and breakfast Mexican breakfast, soups, salad bar, deserts, waffle bar a good variety. Service was great, friendly staff. Our waitress was Alicia very long and helpful . We got the mimosa all you can eat brunch includes (3) mismosas. $27.95 Brunch all you can eat without mimosa $ 24.95 Has plenty of seating for big parties.“
“A couple of days ago I picked up an Uber Eats order and I was intrigued. A Burrito that was $10? A Torta $10? Ok. I'll bite. Boy was I impressed! The carne asada was incredible. It didn't look like the usual burnt ground beef. The meat was thick and there was alot of it. Needless to say my family has had this 2 nights in a row now. The carnitias were pretty good too. I highly recommend giving this place a try.“
“I ordered the 1 pound fish and shrimp. They were excellent! Freshly cooked and the quality is excellent. The breading is not salty, but was just right. The customer service was excellent too! They are very helpful and make sure your order is complete and made perfect. I definitely recommend!“
“The name says it all "Tacos estilo Guadalajara" now that I got that out the way, let's talk about the best tacos al vapor that's right al vapor in the area. Don't question it order the cabeza, cachete, labio or lengua. Tell them your daddy sent you“
“So much love goes into these bad boys. The tacos were AMAZING, the best birria tacos that I’ve had to date, flavorful and huge. I’ll definitely be back ? The customer service was friendly very welcoming and asked me over and over how my meal was, but it’s food coma for now ?“
“You can't go wrong with the Manager Special Two Hamburgers for $7 and they are not small in size either my GF and I get it and we share a order of fries and a large drink it's less money then going to jack in the crack or that place with the Arches The breakfast is bomb too, Chicken Teriyaki plate is enough for two people!“
“Quite a nice, quick turnaround Mexican Food restaurant, plenty of space, some nice decoration. Not really a romantic spot, more like quick decent food. Very reasonably priced, quick service. I can't say anything really stands out for me, but I would definitely go there again to eat. Quick service, good valueParking: Plenty of spaces when I was there early evening.Wheelchair accessibility: Kerbside level, easy access.“
“The food was DELICIOUS ?. My husband had the steak and egg breakfast plate it was a 5 star he said. My son had a cheeseburger combo and he said it was bussin. I had the chicken teriyaki plate with fries it was the best ?. Portion are big.“
“Just picked a friend up at the airport. We were hungry so we stopped. Place is a little messy but they were pretty busy. Anyhow food was ordered and delivered quickly and the staff was nice. Food was big and good. I won’t pass it up next time.“

“Try this place for the first time cause I heard they had carne Su jugo so I went in and the girls were very nice very helpful. I ordered a soup. It was delicious. Came with chips and salsa tortillas and all the trimmings for carne en su jugo it was very tasty and a very good size bowl, the menu looks very good. I will be back.“
“First time coming hereLadies!!! OMG, the food was DELICIOUS compliments to the chef that Thursday morning ? and the drinks were good too. I had 3 mango vodkatinies. Dangerously good. I thought the guacamole n chips were complimentary til I saw my bill lol whatever, tho even that was fire ? get the shrimp tacos!!“
“The carnitas are good, not very greasy, the only thing I found to be a little overcooked, the cakes are excellent and the desserts are average, the place looks ugly from the outside but inside it is clean and organized, it is a hygienic and pleasant place.The meat carnitas are good, they look good, I found to be a little overcooked, the cakes are excellent and the desserts are average, the place looks ugly outside but inside it is clean and organized, it is a hygienic and friendly place“
“Everything was great until left and there was some girl in a RV that started hitting on my boyfriend right there in front of me and my kids I couldn't believe it. She was like a lady of the night and I found it to be very rude of her. I will never return back over there again. I will also be telling my friends not to go there too...she is going to be very bad for businessLost a very good customer“
“We tried the fish tacos and they were absolutely delicious.. big serving you can share if you like, we also tried the shrimp cocktail very fresh shrimp size was huge and a small looks like a large it can be shared, we tried the mojarra with rice, it was absolutely tasty and delicious it was a huge size and it definitely fills you up?? The agua fresca was good we tried piña and Jamaica both good☺️“
“I ordered the California Burrito which has carne asada, french fries, beans, cheese, avocado, lettuce, and some other stuff. I liked it a lot but I wish their hot sauce was hotter. My girl ordered a bean & cheese burrito which was okay, the cheese wasn't melted which didn't make it taste great. They only have seating outside but its covered just in case it's raining or too hot. They are open until midnight.“
“this location OMGthe food is amazingexcellent customer servicethe cashiers move the lines very fast during lunchtimethe cooks and people giving you the food work really fast to get your order ready.WOW, I LOVE THEIR TACOS !! THE BESTTry the orchata is the best !!the place is clean , and I love coming here at lunch time with my co-workers very nice place to eatMy only suggestion please have someone go out and clean the tables more often since people are seating and leaving very fast and the tables for the next customers are left dirty.“
“My filet came out and tasted a little off. The waiter took my plate and the manager promptly came over and spoke with me. My new filet came out and was PERFECTION . They made sure that our first experience was memorable. The only thing negative I could say is that it was off-putting that the hostess was wearing blue plastic gloves .“
“This place has a green avocado salsa to die for. A little hot for some, but I enjoy its flavor on their tacos . Al pastor is phenomenal. Located on Ontario off of holt Ave between Euclid and Grove. I put the Verde, Rojas, and the avocado salsa on the tacos liberally and just much away on the 5 taco plate.“
“I'm that huerro that's Mexicano Literally.Let me tell you this place is fire if you know the LA taco style with a mix of burgers ,wing and fries. Then you know but this spot with a cold modelo at home let me tell you it's fire. Burrito is “
“3.5 STARS. THE PARKING IS TIGHT GET THERE EARLY. MY CO WORKER INVITED ME TO BREAKFAST I TRIED THE MENUDO RED NO PATA. IT WAS BLAND NEED SALT CHIPS WERE STALE. ILL GIVE IT ONE MORE TRY AND ORDER THE CHILLIQUILLES. DRINKS LOOK ? GOOD ? ? ?. SITTING IS OUTSIDE AND OPEN. HAS WROUGHT IRON SO, BRING YOUR FLY SWATTER.“
“GM let us sit on the patio with our dog and they let us order the table side guacamole even though they were conducting brunch. They were very accommodating and our server, Maria, was a total delight. The specials were also fantastic...$5 margaritas, beers, and micheladas. Wow!“
“Honestly 1 of the top 3 burritos I have ever eaten. The flavors are fresh, the meat is well seasoned and cooked beautifully. Their burrito is more meat than fillers ... so for the price .. Taqueria El Arbolito is our families new place for amazing Mexican fare.“
“We love sitting at the bar and enjoying thr Mimosa flight specials that they have daily. $4.99 before noon (sat-sun) before 1 (mon-fri). Angel is a great bartender and always makes us feel welcome. To bring down the buzz we love the fresh guacamole and diabo taco..“
“The food had very good flavor and the tacos were packed with chicken. My only gripe is with so much chicken the juice made the tacos soggy instead of being crunchy. Will order again and eat hot on the spot. Definitely recommend this place.“
“Every time I come here (kinda often) I'm always greeted as soon as I walk in the door, treated like their priority and always get really good food. There's not many places left that's like this. Thank you all for making this an enjoyable place to come eat.“
“The owner of Casa Sanchez takes phenomenal care of his business. He involves himself with his awesome staff. He's engaged with his diners, he's extremely cordial. He makes sure to tell you, that he's pleased that you came for a meal. He wants you to know that he appreciates your business.“
“Came for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. The five star rating is what attracted my attention to this place. It's everything that I expected and wanted, the food was well-prepared, looked delicious, it tasted even better. The staff was friendly and always was ready to serve. One of the servers had worked there for 19 years, she said it was the best place and the owners were very nice. Definitely a place to patronize again, recommend to a friend, and even leave a review.“
“Yesterday was our staff Winter Party. El Pollo Loco catered it for us. The food was amazing, the servce was wonderful. They were already packing up our food, I didn't wait long at all, maybe 5 minutes. Store # 3283 is the only El Pollo Loco I go to!“
“This place has great food don't let the bad reviews prevent you from giving it a try! I feel like the other reviews do not know how mexican sushi is done. It is very different than asian sushi, this being said all the sushis I've had from this place have been AMAZING! Their servers are nice and polite. The food is very good, specially if you have had sushi or sea food from Culiacan. In their menu it references many places from Culiacan Sinaloa, which I think was pretty clever. Also, don't miss out on their micheladas and the horchata de coco. I definitely recommend this place.“
“100% authentic Mexican restaurant. Low prices and huuuuge portions! The food is fantastic! They have lots of Mexican oldies songs playing by Hombres G, Los Prisoneros, Raphael, etc.Atmosphere is very inviting with comfy booth seats and traditional Mexican paintings and decor.They have an extensive menu so you are guaranteed to find something for everyone. Highly recommend this place.Parking: Only a small strip of parking is available and shared with multiple shops.“
“Most of the time, the chicken is pretty good. If you show up at the end of the day, I noticed the chicken is a bit dry, less flavor. Definitely better than El Pollo loco. As long as they're consistent with the way they make the chicken, it's worth it.“
“I decided to try this place out since its just around the corner from my house. I've tried their breakfast burritos and they are pretty decent. Ive had their tacos, birria ramen and carne asada burritos and I'm not disappointed, been a customer for months now. I usually call in my order and it takes about 10-15min for my order to be ready.“
“The burrito was huge! Not sure if it was the rice or beans but at first it had a funny taste but once I got the asada it was all good. They throw a bunch of meat in the burrito which is awesome. And the salsa had a nice bite for being the hottest they had.“
“The strip of Euclid between Mission and Philadelphia might be the best Mexican food crawl in the entire Inland Empire, enhanced, without question, by the well landscaped center divider on the thoroughfare and the century old houses in the neighborhood. Amid many Euclid Avenue heavy hitters, Tijuana’s Tacos is one of the standouts. It is the current occupant of a building that has likely seen many different businesses pass through with the years.I probably should have ordered the eponymous taco al estilo Tijuana, but I have developed a recent interest in the Mexican state of Michoacan and opted for the Torta Michoacana instead. Apparently, this place is well tooled in pan-Mexican cooking because the torta is close to perfect, wanting only for sturdier bread so you don’t have to end up eating the sandwich with a fork and knife held within your lard laced fingers.Before the behemoth of a sandwich arrives, you are treated to complimentary pork and pinto bean soup, really the perfect touch of hospitality and class. It is delicious, no indifference in its preparation. The cantaloupe agua fresca was a tad over sweet. The salsas are fairly standard: one roja, one bright verde, and one murky verde. The curtidos are above par. One is fresh with raw red onions, serranos, and dried oregano. The other is vinegar pickled jalapenos, carrots and bay leaves.The torta Michoacan is a fatboy fantasy. Crisp carnitas interlocked with chewy/tender buche tucked into a sheet of ham, a mattress cover of Monterrey jack and a comforter of avocado. With all the richness of the sandwich, you’ll find yourself chasing every bite with a shovel full of curtido. You’re likely to return to the salsa bar to replenish. Tijuana’s Tacos rivals Korean restaurants with how much good food it provides gratis.“
“William needs some recognition for his outstanding customer service. I’m a local truck driver here in Fontana , I stop at this location on a regular basis. William has an amazing attitude even being short handed displays character and integrity while being proficient and professional all at the same time. Hope he gets to see this review bc he needs to understand he’s doing an amazing thing.“
“I can vouch, this spot has some really good food. Enjoyed their Machaca breakfast burrito and it was so stuffed I couldn't finish the whole thing. That's definitely a good sign. The prices are pretty reasonable here too. $10 for the breakfast burrito. Not bad, nice staff here too. It's a low profile Mexican restaurant, but there's good things going on inside. I'll try this spot again when I'm around. I wonder how the tacos are. For $2.50 a pop that I think I'll have to snag some next time.“
