    Pollo Campero is hands down the best Fried Chicken Chain. They have amazing chicken and great sides too!

    Overall just another fry chicken place, stay away from “camperitos” their version of chicken nuggets, not good at all. Probably worse than anything else out here in the fast food world. I ordered the camperitos thinking it was going to taste like the regular poyo campero chicken only as little bites , boy was I wrong .

    The food is very good it's a different style of fried chicken I really enjoyed it my family really enjoyed it I had the chicken bowl and also my wife had the salad and chicken on it was so delicious we also have the chocolate chip cookies. We also ordered the chicken sandwich to give it a try and it was very good we had the spicy chicken sandwich and I like that they give you the options for pickles or not. I'm not a pickle fan on chicken

    The absolute best dish here is the corn, which is no longer avaliable, the fried chicken is delicious. I heard that the grilled chicken is good, but it is unavailable along with the corn. Overall great restraunt for a quick meal, but support for this location as a representative of the brand is clearly lacking from the corporate level.

    They will take so long to take care of people and you see everyone in the back just chatting and doing nothing

    I was craving pollo campero for a while and the day i decide to go they told me i had to wait 2 hours to get 4 pieces of chicken because they had a big order to fill. Disappointed that i made the drive and they preferred to serve a big order instead of their walk in customers. If they are out of chicken, i suggest closing the store down instead.

  • 4/5 Nkem A. 1 year ago on Google
    The chicken here is so tasty. It's nice that side options include tortillas, beans, yuca etc. Chicken is very comparable to Popeyes...actually this chicken might be better :)
