Restaurants in Rancho Cucamonga

How to read this city’s food: the Mexican bench is the deepest and most reliable — taquerias, birria, pozole, and one Salvadoran pupusería that deserves the detour. The Route 66 dinner houses handle history and occasions. Victoria Gardens carries the national heavy hitters. And the strip malls along Foothill and Haven hide the Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, Filipino, and Indian rooms that make weeknights interesting.
