This place raised their prices to a crazy high. I'm talking about $5 to $6 or more extra for the large meals or chicken only. This increase occurred in the Summer of 2019. If you are just eating for one, it's not so bad. But why? It just doesn't make sense to me. Yes the chicken is good but I can't say that it is worth the price increase. I would rather go to KFC and purchase the original chicken. I will close and say that otherwise the food is good and the place is clean with nice staff. When they stopped making the cilantro sauce, I was put off but these prices truly turned me away. read more

Great food, sometimes I have to wait a bit longer than I would like. Overall I recommend to everyone.

I have been to both locations multiple times but continue to think this one is not as good. I used a living social coupon and ordered an 8 piece dark, fried. I got 7 pieces. I paid for 2 extra sauces which was all that was in the bag. Apparently none come with if you buy some. The man that took my order continually interrupted me and I had to repeat everything 3 times. One of my 7 pieces, a leg, looked like it had bite out of it. The last time I was there, the secret sauce, you get one with a 2 piece order, had about a teaspoon in a 2 ounce container. I had to pay 30 cents more to get a container that had some sauce in it. read more

I've found yet ANOTHER way that Pollo Campero really makes my life better: I'm rushing to get to yoga practice, but I'm starving. I can't eat something heavy or fried or spicy as all that doesn't mix well with exercise, so I swing through the Pollo Campero drive thru and order their grilled chicken breast with the corn salad as my side and an ice water with lemon = perfect! It's the correct food to give me immediate energy and strength but nothing that will disagree with movement and building body heat. Thanks for being there Pollo Campero - I just love you guys! read more

KEEP giving me the wrong order and overpriced. So freaking frustrating. I gave them a few shots cause I thought maybe it was a couple unlucky accidents but I'm done with this place. read more

Lord I'm glad this isn't a vlog! B/c I literally did the Roger Rabbit when I bit into this delicious chicken! I ordered a 2pc meal mixed, breast and wing to go. The breast fried and the wing(roasted?). They were running a special with the 2 pc for $5. Very friendly staff and very helpful. They did forget my dinner roll but Pollo Compero I do forgive you! The chicken makes up for it. I ordered a side of yuca fries and corn salad. The yuca fries? OMG! Slap yo great,great,great grandma worthy!! And the corn salad is tasty and fresh. Overall the food is so fresh to say this is a fast food spot. Fresh and delicious! I live in the neighborhood where this store is located and I anticipate the traffic in the area surrounding this joint is gonna get REAL conjested as the word spreads. As long as they stay consistent with what I ate tonight, my genie ball predicts a bright future for this Pollo Compero!! read more

Pollo Campero - I couldnt wait for the pic so i bit some. Sorry. - Latin American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

My wife and I pass this place all the time and decided to stop in on 3/31/18. We were second in line and waited about 10 minutes for the person in front of us to finish ordering. As we approached the counter two hispanic patrons walked up and the clerk looked at us rolled her eyes and began taking the other person's order. The patron even told her that we were next but she still proceeded to ignore us. Not sure if I want to consider this racist or not but the treatment was disgusting and we left. I would not recommend this place to anyone because of the rudeness of the staff. read more

Every time I pass this place on South Blvd, I always make a mental note to go there. I had read the Yelp reviews and everyone seems to be a fan. So, my friend, Tom, and I went there for lunch yesterday. It is definitely a fast food Latin restaurant. The menu options are exactly what you would imagine: chicken (fried or grilled), plantains, yuca, rice, etc. They offer a variety of tropical drinks, including "Jamaica", which is what I selected. When I checked in on Yelp, a coupon popped up on my phone that said I could get a free piece of chicken. This was very cool and proves once again that using YELP pays off! I enjoyed the grilled chicken, yuca, and plantains. The atmosphere was very good, especially for a fast food place. My only hold back was the fact that they didn't offer iced tea. Despite the fact that iced tea is not popular in the Latin world. this restaurant is in the south. As such, they should definitely have iced tea as a drink option. Otherwise, Pollo Campero hit all of my expectations and then some. The flavors were immense and the vibe was great. We appeared to be the only non-Latinos in the place, which says a lot about the authenticity of what they are doing here! Two Thumbs up! read more

We like the fresh Latin American style chicken, bowls, empanadas and the friendly service. Love the buffalo chicken and dessert empanadas. Good sauces, especially creamy cilantro. Order at the counter and hope that friendly, helpful Bridgette brings your food. She is so welcoming and you have a great time as well as a quick and reasonably priced meal. read more

We were just visiting and found this place on yelp and fell in love. We went back several times everything was delicious and so full of flavor!! read more

We had the most amazing experience today, we went to the drive thru and Olivia taken our order, we spoken in Spanish and she was responding in English, she taken the order perfectly but at the end we noticed that she doesn't speak spanish but she wants to learn, Olivia you are doing a great job, please keep going. read more

Love this place. One of the best chicken i've ever had. The grilled chicken is perfectly marinated. The sides are all good.

I tried this place for lunch today and I have to agree with the positive reviews that I've seen on it. It's a nice cheery place, lots of windows, and it was spotlessly clean. You place your order at the counter and they give you a number and bring the food to your table. One nice surprise, the food is served on actual plates... Plastic, but very sturdy and colorful. I had the boneless wings, which are actually deep-fried chunks of chicken breast, the campero beans and an order of the yuca fries.The chicken was crispy crunchy but not dry, the beans were delicious, lots of flavor with onions and chunks of sausage to give them a little bit of heat. The fries are also really crispy on the outside, but creamy on the inside. Next time I will have to try the fried chicken, because it looked really good. The service was good....it only took about five minutes or so to get our orders out to us, And they cleared the empty plates off the table once we were finished... so don't forget to tip when you pay at the front. This is a great little place, I think you'll be happy if you give it a try. read more

Excellent food, juicy chicken. Empanadas were delicious. Great music has a Miami feeling. The service is amazing.

Delicious Grilled Chicken. Love the fries as well. Wish they had different types of soda.

Saw this place come up on Groupon a few times and liked what I saw. Traffic was pretty backed up after work so I decided to grab food down here. Was not disappointed at all. Got the three piece fried chicken and it was excellent. Some of the best I've had in general. I live in Plaza Midwood so not one close for me, but I'll make the trip again very soon to give the grilled a try. Can't remember the last time I actually posted a review but this place earned it. read more

Have only gotten take out but this is the best grilled chicken! Street corn salad and plantains are two delicious sides. Service is fast and order has always been accurate. read more

Fried chicken was out of this world! Juicy yet not overly greasy. Shredded chicken bowl was flavorful but not too spicy, surprisingly. Definitely good for those that can't take the heat. The cashier was great at giving tips for my first time visit, and all employees were bilingual. This location is clean and well lit at night. Will be back! read more

We went here tonight to try this spot out and we loved the food! I got fried chicken which was seasoned well. The other person order bake chicken which was also seasoned well! I will be back! I'm also telling my friends to try this spot out as well. read more

Didn't care for the spices on the grilled chicken and didn't like the coleslaw. They were kind enough to replace it with Spanish rice which was tasty but very dry. They don't have butter for the roll, but on a positive note the plantains were awesome! I'll try it one more time, get the fried chicken and hope I like it better. read more

My first time at this restaurant and I received exceptional service from a young man named Andy, will definitely come back because of him. The food was also excellent, I ordered the 2 pc with a side of rice and fries. read more

The food at Pollo Campero is wonderful and the service was great. This is sincerely the best grilled chicken I've ever had and the fried chicken ain't no joke either!!! The crispy rice bowl was wonderful and the plantains were delectable. Not so impressed with the Yuca fries they were kinda bland, but maybe that was just me cause a lot of people love them... but the regular fries were crispy and skinny like I like them. Wish they served guacamole because that was the only thing missing from a FANTASTIC Latin fast food experience. Will definitely be back and there is living social/groupon right now so no excuse not to try it!! read more

The food is good. But lines are to long and staff is rude! Hate places like this. It's sad because love good food but the attitude will stop my business. read more

The grilled chicken is packed with flavor! The rice and the campero beans were wonderful as well. The fried chicken was a bit pedestrian, but overall it was a pleasant meal. read more

Very clean establishment. Unfortunately, they continuously got my order wrong. 6 visits and only 1 order was correct. Found Pollo Royal down the street after I gave this establishment 5 more chances...I understand that we are only human, but the last straw was visit #6 when they asked if I could wait 16 minutes for fried chicken. Umm - name of the establishment is Pollo Campero...Pollo? 16 minutes to wait from a drive-thru? Not to mention when the order was messed up on my final visit, and I went up to the counter the gentleman yelled "What do you want!?" This was after they messed up the order...again. The manager heard him raise his voice and got up - I asked for my money back and she apologized. -Umm, I want you to get my order right - This was after they added a 2nd meal to my order for an additional $9.00 and instead of telling them to take it off after the cashier apologized since I just ordered one meal, I paid for it anyway and said I'll just take it. My suggestion is to go to Pollo Royal to support your Latin establishments. Viva Chicken is good as well, but I'd rather support mom and pops establishments to keep our communities thriving. Damn, I tried to support you Pollo Campero... read more
