Our passion for fresh food comes from our founder, Mary Vasquez. Throughout her childhood in Central Mexico, she cooked with her mother and grandmother, helping to prepare family meals. When she moved to the States, she married Mike, had children of her own, continuing to make her favorite recipes from her childhood.
In 1973, Mike and Mary took over an existing restaurant in Corona, CA and renamed it “Miguel’s” in honor of Mike’s grandfather.
Today this family tradition continues. It is our promise to deliver the freshest, best tasting California Mexican food each and every day at all of our Miguel’s Jr. locations.

Had the pork pozole (soup) without hominy … it would have been nice to be served in a bowl for dine-in instead of a to go plastic container. The pozole was good with the right spices and cabbage, onions, & lemon served on the side. Also tried the chorizo (Mexican pork sausage) and eggs with beans, which is average.

Edit: Despite my reservations about coming back, my coworkers were craving Miguel’s Jr and I joined them. We dined inside this time and just like last time, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. In ordered the same thing and the cashier helped ensure it had no meat and brands were substituted. Seriously, a bean Cali burrito is AMAZING. It should really be a normal menu option. This has completely reversed my previous thoughts. It seems like it is more of a system issue than a location issue. There needs to be other options coded into the system to indicate substitutions. Overall, the staff has been incredible and the correct food is delicious.
Vegetarians beware if venturing outside Miguel’s Jr vegetarian menu options. If you want a burrito with guacamole, do not think it safe to order the Cali burrito and remove or substitute the meat. Customer service, while overall decent and the associates friendly, also came up short in terms of offering substitutions. You MUST be explicit with the staff.
The error in our order wasted a large portion of our lunch hour and will make me think twice about buying from here again.
This was my first time eating here, but I may give another chance at which point I will update my review should anything change.

Highly recommend!! Everything I have tried from this place is delicious! There are lots of options and something for everyone. Unfortunately there is not one close to my house, but when I am near a location, I always stop by!

Always good. The chicken Garbage burrito is amazing. I have bought a small cooler and ice packs in the past in order to bring some home on the airplane. Wish they would expand north in to Sacramento!

I have enjoyed Miguel’s at various locations and each time the food has been fresh, hot, and very good. Service is friendly and fast. I’ve had a few different burritos, and tacos. Miguel’s will not disappoint you. The food is very favorable.

Something changed. I grew up with Miguel’s in the IE and it was always solid. Either their supplier want bankrupt and had to be replaced by some mediocre supplier, or they went cheap on purpose. I don’t like that I can tell the difference. It feels.. like betrayal. (mostly referencing El Potato, but it applies across the board.. even the sauce is slightly different, in a bad way)

Great fast Mexican food option! I’ve been going to Miguel’s Jr since high school (Fontana location). They offer consistent, delicious high quality food and fast service. My go-to in high school was the bean & cheese burrito. I’ve expanded my interests and now usually order The Original Burrito with shredded beef. It’s massive and I usually split it into two or three meals. It reheats in the microwave beautifully with all the melty cheese or it’s good straight from the refrigerator. From time to time I have also ordered other dishes, such as the enchilada plate, chips and guacamole, BRC burrito, and taquitos. Each dish is delicious and meets their high quality flavor! I hope it becomes one of your favorite fast food options too. They have a drive thru, easy parking, indoor seated dining, and superb quality food.

Been coming here for years and today was complete disappointment when I really looked forward to my cheat meal. I asked for a bean and cheese burrito extra cheese. Tell me why when I picked it up I noticed it felt cold and stiff which is unusual for this place. After a few bites I noticed that the burrito had 90% cheese and barely any beans. Whoever made it has probably thought it was funny because there’s no way any normal person would have thought that was okay. I had to literally take out as much cheese as I could which is still just cold and shredded. The drive through girl also gave me weird vibes but I didn’t think much of it until after I seen what my food looked like. Highly unprofessional people who work here and handle food, they really should be fired. This review was posted 3/7/24 at 1:42 I just picked up my food around 1:30. Adding a photo for context and note there’s no rice it was just a bean and cheese burrito but the ungodly amounts of cold shredded cheese kind of look like rice so I’m posting this to avoid confusion

As a business owner myself. I appreciated when jonathan upsold me and had me get the burrito box. It was my first time here and I tried it with Chile Verde. There were precisely 6 chunks of pork. Damn they were good. Habaero salsa is great, as well as red sauce. Chips are super thin and fresh.
There were two different sets of music, one in front, one in back and the one in front in the restaurant area kept going in and out
