Food in Pomona

A walk-up fried chicken stand on North Garey with a hand-painted sign and a line that forms on the sidewalk at lunch. It is cash only, they will not take an order over the phone, and the chicken comes in a box with a roll. There is no dining space to speak of, so people eat in the car or take it somewhere.

Daily, 10am to 7:30pm

A Mexican restaurant and panaderia on Garey Avenue that opens at 5:30 in the morning and keeps going until the evening. The bakery case runs along one side and the kitchen turns out menudo, chilaquiles and plates of the standard sort all day. It is counter-forward and fast, and nobody minds how long you sit. Two blocks from the Fox Theater marquee.

Mon to Thu, 5:30am to 8:30pm. Fri and Sat, 5:30am to 9pm. Sun, 5:30am to 8pm
