Juan Pollo specializes in Mexican rotisserie chicken. This location is in a converted old Burger King on "E" Street near the Inland Shopping Center, downtown San Bernardino. It looks pretty much like a dive from the outside and was thinking made a mistake in choosing to eat here once I got inside. I happened to go on a Tuesday when Juan Pollo advertises "buy one chicken get one free" (whole chicken is $10.99). Did not seem to be selling too many whole chickens, more of a lunch crowd when I visited. I ordered the Lunch Special, two pieces of rotisserie chicken with sides, when they called my order number and I picked up my food was surprised to learn that only utensil available was a spork. I was very pleasantly surprised with the meal, the chicken was steaming hot, wonderfully moist and very fresh. Chicken had a crispy skin, could not taste a marinade, but was delighted with the quality flavor. The side orders were small, rice with bits of chicken, tasted like rice pilaf. The potato salad had a sour cream base and lots of green onions. I will go back for lunch again, the ambience is lacking but the food astonishingly good. (bring your own wetnaps)
