Had I written this review 5 – 6 years ago it would’ve easily been 5 stars. Started coming here when the place had just opened. Although its located in an area filled with Mexican restaurants, this place felt special. Food was great and service was phenomenal, with the owner usually checking up on you to make sure you had everything you needed. Heck I would even come regularly for a pound of freshly made tortillas, it had that kind of familiar ambiance. Time passed, quality deteriorated, service crumbled and prices went up. They stopped selling me tortillas by the pound, limiting to orders of 3 pieces at an inflated price. Food no longer had that freshness and became overpriced. Owner was seen less and less and no longer had a friendly demeanor. Once waited so long to get service that I had to walk out. Limited my experience here to delivery as they do have good Tacos Arabes. Last straw came last week during the heavy snowstorm. Looking on Seamless through my limited options, I was glad to see this place open. Since the restaurant is only 5 blocks from where I was staying, I placed an order, put in a good tip, got my confirmation email and began to wait through the 2.5 hour ETA. Hours passed and I called just to make sure the order was on its way. No answer. Called several more times, nothing. Now I completely understand if you close your restaurant under such weather conditions, it makes sense. But why would you keep your orders open? Other restaurants made sure to discontinue orders that day. Customers are waiting for food and have no explanations when no one ever shows up after hours of waiting. Luckily Seamless handled the situation seamlessly(no pun intended) offered an apology and prompt refund. I find it very difficult to imagine me coming back or ordering from here again.

These chicken enchiladas con salsa verde were so comforting. The chicken was a bit over cooked but even so, I could not have been happier. Check this place out if you’re in the area and you’re craving some legit Mexican grub.

Crispy yum topped with savory yum covered in fresh yum and creamy yum. Really sweet staff, fast kitchen. I miss living in this neighborhood.

Just ordered from here on Seamless, and my service was incredibly prompt and professional. The huevos rancheros were perfectly prepared and still piping hot(granted, I live closeby). Portions are super generous, especially for the quality you get, and all at a low price! Will be ordering from this place again!

We had a pollo/chorizo burrito as well as a chicken mole plate. Both were excellent quality. At $ 9 for a burrito, $ 13 for a chicken mole plate and $ 2.50 for a bottle of Fanta I wouldn’t call it a particularly great value but compared to a taco truck you do get a nice table to sit at and table service. I’m sure I’ll be back unless I find a better burrito place close by.

I had passed Bella Puebla for years and it was always subtly attracting me. Walking down the road I’d see the sign tent in front advertising daily specials, I’d peer inside and see sauces brewing meats of unknown kind, and every so often I’d skip in and stare at the meals which might be going by. Today was the day I finally took the leap and ordered. Starting out, walking past the sign tent, breaching the gap between looking and ordering, an beautiful older lady saw I was interested and sought to tell me what I was looking at en espanol. Hearing words that were unrecognizable, I asked her to repeat it. Still unrecognizable. This was a good sign. She gave me a taste, and it was good. Going to pay, the woman taking my money spoke fluent English. I will use this in the future, just going by the small sample the older lady gave me and the communicative younger woman I handed my cash to, I knew this would be the start of a great relationship. Taking the food to-go, eating in my apartment, I couldn’t be happier. It was good. I think, I hope, this is the start of something special. I encourage you, Unilocalers, to scour this menu — because there is a lot to scour. Report back on Unilocal,and don’t be put off by a bad review — This deserves your attention.

So you’re in Corona and in need of some good Mexican food…(mmm. tacos and tortas!)… and you stumble on Bella Puebla and its nice looking exterior. What should you do? You should turn around and go elsewhere. The food here is awful — lacking in flavor and ingredients… like meat.(How could it survive in Corona, surrounded by so many better businesses?!) The service here tops if off with attention lacking waitresses who literally fling your food onto your table. RUDE! Me thinks not! Want good food? Hit the carts two blocks up on Junction or a few blocks down at Tacos Al Suadero( ) on 90th. Thank me later.
