The beef was so flavorful and delicious, as well as the fried potatoes. The rice complemented everything nicely. - Cuban fried rice (3/5): this one missed the mark for me a bit! It was a bit too oily / flavor didn't hit the spot. I definitely preferred the chaufa a lot more (though they're a bit similar). Our server was so bright and friendly.

The mom was a sweetheart who helped take our order and even created a "dealer's choice" dish for a vegetarian in our party. East Charlotte is great because of businesses like this.

I got to try their Pollo con tajadas which were just as good, if not better than the authentic Honduran street food. For it being Christmas, all the staff was more than happy to be there and to serve the many customers who were also looking for some food. All in all, I'm so glad to have found this restaurant which serves delicious hispanic food and look forward to coming back in the future.

When I initially visited (in their first couple of months after opening) I was super in love with this place. Unfortunately every experience after that has been super inconsistent. I've ordered their seafood sancocho three times and every single time I've gotten a different dish. The last time I ordered it - it was more so vegetables with 2 teaspoons of broth, some rice and old fried yucca. If you look at the photo - I believe you can tell the yucca looks like it'd been in the fridge for days and they just threw it in there for good measure. The waiter didn't smile and generally looked miserable to have to deal with me. I asked for hot sauce that never came. Just overall, really disappointed in my last experience here and unfortunately won't be retuning due to how inconsistent my last few visits have been. You might get something that tastes decent, you might not.

I always enjoy my food at Pollo Campero. Great Latin American flavors at a reasonable price. Their grilled (or roasted??) chicken is every bit as good as their fried, maybe a little better. If you dine in the restaurant, after ordering at the register they bring the food out to your table. I've observed that the dining area is always very clean. I haven't ever seen food all over the floor or on the tables like in some restaurants. If you want good Spanish food at a reasonable price you'll enjoy Pollo Campero. read more

One thing I really like is that they're not heavily salted or seasoned. They have just enough seasoning. I usually get them with the yellow rice and roll, which is also delicious. Honestly, I could sit in the parking lot and eat the entire container of rice on its own! That's how much I love it. Hubby had a salad with grilled chicken. He enjoyed it. We also had some hush puppies. They are also delicious! They're crispy and flavorful. I don't generally eat fried chicken and hush puppies on a regular basis, so this really hits the spot when I do get it. Another good thing is that their food doesn't bloat me like other restaurants. I'm thinking it must be due to its freshness and more healthful ingredients. At least, I'm hoping that's why, but I don't really know. I just hope they keep up the good work. I highly recommend this place.
