Our Story

The Family Behind
The Flavor

Made with love. Served with pride.

Authentic Mexican dishes prepared at Alvarado's
Where We Started

A Passion Passed Down Through Generations

Alvarado's Mexican Grill started where most great food stories do. In a family kitchen, with recipes passed down from grandmothers and grandfathers who knew that every great meal starts with patience, love and the right ingredients.

That's the spirit we bring to every plate. From hand-pressed tortillas to slow-braised birria, nothing here is rushed and nothing here is frozen. We use traditional techniques because they work and we use the freshest produce because that's what our family taught us to do.

Today we're proud to serve Pomona and Jurupa Valley. But step inside either location and you'll feel like you've walked into a family kitchen. That's not an accident. That's the whole point.

What We Stand For

The Alvarado's Way

Four things we never compromise on.

Always Fresh

Made daily, never frozen. The way it's supposed to be.

True To Tradition

Family recipes, classic techniques, bold authentic flavors.

Family Owned

Locally run by people who actually live in the neighborhood.

For Our Community

Pomona and Jurupa Valley raised us. We give back every day.

From the service to the food to the vibe in the restaurant, everything is a 10 out of 10. They told me I'd be back. I just didn't think it'd be 4 days later.

"Delicioso. Fish tacos were excellent, the queso birria was a must, best asada torta. My little one loves his quesadilla. The cucumber pineapple agua fresca is so refreshing. Best part? Dodgers always on."

"Our favorite local Mexican grill. Orders placed at the front counter, food brought to the table hot and fresh. The chile rellenos are our go-to. We're here at least once a week and we've enjoyed everything we've ordered."
