“Always fresh, delicious food. The chicken flautas are amazing, and all of their meat plates are fantastic. They also have the coldest beer I’ve found in Upland, served in frosty glasses every time. Definitely one of my favorite spots.“

“Great joint. Love that I found this place“

“Love it. Awesome food.“

“Absolutely delicious from start to finish! Visiting from Texas and so glad I found this little place. Clean restaurant. Friendly staff. Great food!“

“We eat out a lot because we work a lot, therefore we eat out a lot. Yesterday, we attended a baby shower and it was catered by this restaurant, and oh my goodness, it was the BEST tasting, clean, organized caterer for tacos we have experienced. Customer service was excellent! From approximately 40 taco caterers we have experienced this was the BEST!!! Normally, I would not leave a review but this one was worth leaving! We will definitely be visiting there full service restaurant here in Upland soon.“

“Great food 🥘 really nice atmosphere I definitely recommend it 👍🏻“

“The food and service were both amazing!!“

“The crew at Jim’s is awesome 👏 Jose and his team always go over and above to serve the customers. The hamburgers are the best! The restaurant is always clean, welcoming and family friendly. Keep up the good work thank you“

“This place is the perfect spot to get good food without breaking the bank. In Southern California, it is becoming harder and harder to find meals for around $10, which makes this restaurant such a blessing. There is a reason it has been open for more than 90 years.

You can stop by for a quick bite and leave happy. The food quality is very good, the air conditioning works great, and there are free refills. They offer plenty of Mexican combo meals, and you can even get a cheeseburger and fries for under $10. Amazing value for the price.

This place will include Mexican cuisine that tastes very authentic along with burritos, fries, taco salad, enchiladas, and hamburgers“

“Wow! It's a good place to go with your family and friends. The atmosphere was relax,the music it's perfect and most important the food was soo delicious. It was our first time visiting this restaurant.
Everything was perfect.“

“Was in the Upland area and wanted to try a Taco Tuesday spot. Had my buddy with me to go have some tacos! $2 taco Tuesday, not bad! The bean and cheese burrito was good too! Gotta have those different flavored salsa. Mines being the green salsa. I would have given 5 stars but I waited quite a bit for my food. They were busy but waited longer than expected. At onetime I was going to see what the hold up was but than my food came out. Other than that, everything was good and the tacos where delicious. This was my first time there and do plan on returning to try other things on the menu. I like also they have my whipped Orange drink.

Update: 9/2/26
Came here for some lunch with some friends. $10 Lunch with a choice of a burrito or bowl. I tried the chicken bowl and wow, it was a big bowl! Only ate like half of it! lol. This is my second time coming here and they also have delicious tacos and burritos as well. If ur in the Upland area, highly recommend this place! Great service and food came out quick! Place does get packed during busy times especially both lunch snd dinner times. At times there's no table to sit at! I suggest take your order to go if there's no table to sit and eat at.“

“This is a must try place ✌🏼“

“Don't let the weathered barrio look of the area, less-than-luxury apartments across the street, or the borrachos congregating with their brown bags near the market that hasn't had a facelift in decades, scare you off. It's well worth checking out. Don't be expecting no Del taco prices because this is real mexican food made by real mexican people not like Del or the Bell that is fake mexican food made by real mexican people, anyhow these guys dish up some pure mexicano love, so go support local business and order a shrimp quesadilla.“

“Loved the fast and friendly service, it was delicious and the place was very clean“

“Excelente servicio y calidad en sus productos, recomendable y recomendado ampliamente!!!!“

“Great food 🥘 really nice atmosphere I definitely recommend it 👍🏻“

“First time trying, everything was very good especially for being in upland. Hard to find good authentic Mexican food, definitely will be coming back. Tortillas hand made, asada cooked great and salsa that’s not watery. What more can I ask for.“

“The food and service, excellent. that's what matters to me.“

“My favorite tacos in the whole entire world. 🥰🥰🥰 Professional chefs. Clean inviting environment. It's been more than 5 years since I've been back . I was in tears enjoying my meal.
Until a new employee named Victoria was rude to me and told me to hurry up and leave when I put on warm clothes.

Example: a sweater

Victoria shouldn't be allowed to speak to customers let alone serve meals of this price range and value.“

“I have had a lot of problems with the quality of the chicken breasts (small size and under cooked) at the Colonies in Upland El Pollo. I have been going there for years. But I decided to give them 1 more try, so I went over to El Pollo last week to get my usual 3-4 chicken breasts. When I got the order home, I got 3 breasts (very small and one not even cooked) and 3 wings which I did not order. Went back and got the ordered corrected, even though the mgr (who had seen me 20 mins earlier picking up my order) demanded that I present my receipt. Thank goodness the girl that waited on me was there to vouch for me. This week, I went over to Juan Pollo in downtown Upland. Ordered 4 breast with flour tortillas. The breast were large, well marinated and cooked. The tortillas were superior to the El Pollo ones they pass out. From now on, it is Juan Pollo for us!!!“

“I never leave review for fast food joints. This is not just an El Polo Loco. This is an experience everyone needs to experience! The manager Soto was so professional and welcoming! The service staff had our orders -steaming and on the counter waiting before we even done paying!!! I mean wow!

Thank you Mr. Soto!

Im definitely coming back!! And bringing friends! I can't believe I'm writing this about in a Pollo Loco!?!? Everything is nice and clean!

Next time ill take a video to post on here! But until then! Come check It out for yourself! Ill be raving about this chicken joi t for a long tine!“

“Got a call this place old Reliable. Normally Del Taco 24 hours very consistent and their food quality. I can happily say dislocation, always gets my food right and out fast. the staff here is very friendly. I would definitely recommend trying this location.“

“Delicious food, not too greasy! Tacos were simple ground beef but so good! We got double cheeseburgers medium fries. The medium drink alone is the size of the large drink of most other places, but it was way way too much food for us. It was so filling which is awesome because it's not that expensive!“

“I legitimately eat Chipotle 5-9 times a month for years now and I have never had Chipotle this good.

Not only flavorful and tasty, but such kind and friendly service.

I just left at 8pm today. Not sure who the last working cash was, but she was super friendly.

I will drive the extra 7 minutes to this location every time.“

“smallest burrito i have ever received... kid named louis served me & was so young , i have socks older . terrible volume , been going here over a decade..“

“I love this baker's this is the only one we order from or go to I forgot the spicy ketchup for my daughter's fries and I called because I ordered through door dash and Jose answered and made sure my baby would get her spicy ketchup thank you so much Jose and thank you to the whole crew at bakers God bless you all“

“I had a great experience at this Chipotle location, which is not always the case with this chain at the store nearby my home. After I got my food I was sure to tell the staff that they were doing a great job and I appreciated their customer service and the cleanliness of the restaurant and told them they were doing a great job.“

“Love coming to this Del Taco. The food and service is always fantastic. The employees are attentive and helpful. Today we witnessed a very dissatisfied customer who was quite rude and the employees handled themselves very well, especially Andrea. We will continue coming to this Del Taco.“
