    This location is very large and can accommodate a lot of people. There are plenty of comfortable chairs and tables, as well as booths. I had the two piece dark fried chicken meal with sweet plantains and a dinner roll. Sure you can get fries just like at any restaurant, but, I suggest the plantains or yucca fries For my drink I had an Horchata which was very tasty. The two piece dinner meal is enough to fill you up without breaking the bank. Fried chicken with a latin fare flare, quick and delicious

    Very friendly bilingual staff easily welcoming customers at the front counter. I had the pleasure of meeting Patricia. Despite it being my first time here the menu was easy to follow. They offer both white and dark pieces of chicken when you order the multiple pieces combos. Sodas, fruit drinks or horchata are all the same price. The skin of the chicken was very crispy and the meat was incredibly juicy. It was perfectly cooked. The nuggets are a bit on the pricer side, but they are meaty compared to the typical fast food nuggets. The campero sauce surprise me with its sweet, tangy, and hint of pickle. If you order to eat there they will bring out the food to your table. I'm glad im don't live terribly far from this place as I'll probably be back. Interior is very modern and simple. You need a code for the gender neutral restrooms. Plenty of parking in the free parking lot in front. No outdoor seating so only service animals allowed inside.

    The fried chicken is better than the grilled chicken. The grilled chicken tastes too much like mojo marinade. My husband says their chicken sandwich is even better than the fried chicken. The plantains are tasty though. Service is nice. You order at the register and they bring your food out to you at your table.

    I decided to order again a year later from my last review and the service is terrible. I ordered online at 7:22 and pick up was set for 7:38 pm. We noticed they took down the horchata, Jamaica, and mango Fresca juices and hid them in the back, I thought this was ridiculous because it was still early and I really wanted the mango drink. We noticed they told every customer they didn't have the drinks but I knew that was a lie. Once we finally got our order the employee whispered to wait for our drinks and they secretly got the mango Fresca from the back. So that was a lie because they had it. My fiancé and I were hungry so we sat down to eat and I took one bite out of my nugget and it was still frozen cold! They also messed up my fiancé's order and gave him yuca fries instead of rice. We brought this to their attention and they looked at us like we were crazy so I showed the employee my digital receipt and she demanded the paper receipt on the bag which showed the same thing as the digital receipt. Once that happened, they pulled out the rice from the back and chicken nuggets that were cooked right. I don't understand why they didn't just give us the right order in the first place. The employees looked clueless and were moving super slow. My yucca fries didn't taste freshly fried and were stale and cold as well. We waited there a long time for our food just for all of it to be cold and not correct. I'd highly suggest to keep the Fresca juices out till closed because so many customers were lied to. Thankfully I ordered online and got the mango Fresca although it wasn't even cold anymore. Please properly train your employees. Service needs to improve. I also noticed the employee who gave my mother and I an attitude last year is still the same female employee working the front and taking orders. There's just something about her vibe that comes off super fake and not pleasant at all. The wait time for food is ridiculously toooooooooo long and so many customers looked so tired and bored waiting for as long as we did. The service is too slow and it's ran by a bunch of people who look like they have no urgency to do their job or even know what they are doing. Serving me frozen cold chicken nuggets was totally unacceptable I thought it was a complete joke!

    All I can say is where have I been all my life!? I am a chicken connoisseur. I love chicken so I decided to come here for the Yelp Elite Event. I made a great choice. This location is located at the end of a strip mall. I walked in and was greeted immediately by the cashier. I placed my order to eat in the dining room that was quickly filling up. This location had a home feeling. Families eating together and having a good peaceful meal. I decided to have the mango drink that was so smooth and tasty. I sat at a small table and my order was already coming out. The server handed me a nicely plated meal with a perfectly cooked breast and wing, crispy fries and a soft roll. The flavor of the chicken was amazing!!! Everyone treated me so nice. I highly recommend a visit to Pollo Campero.

    Excellent fried chicken. I had the mack and cheese as a side which was very good but i have had other sides here that i found disappointing . Beware of burning sides except the mac and cheese

    I like having Pollo Campero near our home. I cook a lot of chicken at home, so I don't often order chicken when out, but Pollo Campero is a favorite when fried chicken is on the menu. I have a friend who often visits for the weekend to craft, and she is a somewhat selective eater. She really likes their nuggets, so when she's in town, we have relied on Pollo Campero as a good choice for both of us for one of our meals. The pricing is decent for the quality of the food. The service is always really great even when they are busy.

    Came to this place to grab an early dinner with my boyfriend. We got the 8 pieces chickens dinner. The chicken is seasoned very well. I would say the chicken was not fully hot enough and the bread was cold. I order yuca and slaw for the side. The food came out fast and the employee is nice. There is a parking lot.

The menu is pretty big but I wanted to try something different so I ordered the arepa de carne. When it came out, the plate was huge. The arepa had that nice crunch on the outside, but inside the meat was crazy good, juicy, tender, and seasoned just right. Every bite kinda hit that perfect mix of texture. The place itself feels fun, colorful murals everywhere, kinda gives you energy as soon as you walk in. Staff was chill, friendly without being over the top, and the food came out quicker than I thought. I'd definitely come back just for that arepa, but now I'm curious about the rest of the menu. Feels like one of those spots where you can keep trying new things and not get bored.

I also tried the Mini Bandeja Paisa, a Colombian lunch plate that was a little pricey ($20), but was hearty, filling, and allowed me to try a bit of everything-- plantain, egg, steak, pork, arepa, and rice. The service is very warm, friendly, and the food comes out quickly. The prices are good/reasonable for the portions too, though an extra surcharge is placed on card transactions.

There's a solid amount of food and I'm going to be eating on this over the next two days. There's rice and peas were incredibly flavorful, moist and had a hint of spice. The stewed chicken's skin was falling off! That's how tender it was and I love anything with bell peppers and onions. The cabbage was solid with great crunch. Sometimes it can get too mushy, but this didn't. The plantains were just right!! Great palate cleanser as I transitioned to the jerk chicken! And the jerk chicken was a hit!!! Good amount of spice and flavor! And juicy! I also had extra jerk sauce on the side. Hmmmm I honestly enjoyed both chickens and would say if you're unsure of which to get, just get both... you'll definitely order from here again lol I ordered through uber eats and naturally was PRAYING that my order was correct and it was. A nice hefty serving and of course I also have a slice of the caramel cake. Mannn this slice of cake is so dang delicious. The two miles that I run tomorrow for this will be so worth it!
