I was not satisfied as I placed my order online for two (2) $12.00 combos which include two (2) drinks and the person behind the counter refused to give me my second drink. She started speaking Spanish which I thought was rude. The second lady behind the counter apologized for the first lady's incompetence. Overall a lousy experience. Next time I will stick with Popeye's, they're much better!!! read more

Pollo Campero - Original fried chicken - Latin American Near Me - Farmers Branch, Texas

What an awful service. The lady was so slow.. they took 25 min to make 3 sandwiches....

I ordered for the first time from Pollo Campero. It was a disaster. I ordered: 1 4 piece mix (fried and grilled) Roll, Mashed Potatoes, Corn Fried Chicken Sandwich 2 Large family size plantains 1 empanada 1 flan When my order via Uber was delivered over an hour later, I got 4 pieces of only grilled completely cold and rubbery chicken. No chicken sandwich and no empanada as ordered. The remainder of the sides were all cold and soggy and absolutely disgusting. When I tried to call to ask what happened, the main number has a recorded message entirely in Spanish and I could only understand a little bit. I was already upset. I am 4 months pregnant and just wanted some chicken. This is not right in any way. You don't take customers' money and not deliver the product or service as advertised and ordered and not have a way to rectify it. Essentially, Pollo Campero stole my money. I have sent my "comments" and sent a follow-up and nothing. When they say "fix your experience" it's to train and improve in the future. What about service recovery? And why do I need to help you to fix the experience. That is code for ineffective leadership. Plus, Personal preferences on food is one thing, but blatantly stealing money and lying is another. They will never get business from me again. read more

Haven't been here in a while and everything was absolutely delicious, clean place and friendly people. Fried chicken is juicy and full of flavor and the home sauce is so good, also served with yuca fries. There's a lady passing by each table and picking up dirty dishes, she is always smiling and asking if everything was good of it we needed something else, make a great conversation and make us feel welcomed, definitely coming back ! read more

Oh no. They close at 9 but run out of food and won't serve at 8:46, just change your hours, that will solve the problem for all of us!!!

The flavor of their chicken is amazing, though it was a touch on the dry side. I love the flavor of whatever spices they used. We chose tortillas rather than rolls, and they were dry as well. The beans were nicely prepared, though they weren't quite in my flavor palette ... that is purely preference on my part. The best thing we got though was the sweet plantains. Oh my gosh could roll around in those! They were so good. I'd love to try the place again, hoping for chicken a little more moist. read more

Hadn't had Pollo Campero in about 5 years, forgot how good it was. I got 3 piece fried with fries and a bread. What u really like is they have jamacia and other aqua frescas and you can get as much as you want. The chicken is so good, possibly best fried chicken available now. It's so flavorful and fully breaded. I absolutely love this place. read more

This place is exceptional! Food is fresh, management and staff are extremely nice and they were fast. I ordered the family pack with beans, yucca fries and plantains and it was so delicious. This place is from El Salvador and I highly recommend it! read more

One of my favorite homestyle chicken restaurants. Though it is a Mexican restaurant the food is slightly Americanized and has a next blend of flavors. My favorites are the campero beans the street corn salad. The fried and grilled chicken are equally delicious. I usually order mine half and half to enjoy both styles. read more

I'm no expert in Cuban food because DFW does not have an abundant amount of Cuban population. When I think of Cuban, I think of Cuban sandwiches. I'm not too familiar with other types of Cuban food. With that being said, I have enjoyed my visit to Pollo Campero. I was able to try a little bit of their menu. Got some fried chicken, grill chicken, Camperitos (nuggets), and empanadas. sweet plantains, THE BEST!!!! I love sweet plantains! These were so good. I make these at home but they are no where near this good. Must get this as a side. Camperitos, not your average chicken nuggets. I could eat these everyday. They were meaty and delicious! empanadas, I see myself coming back for these spicy chicken empanadas. They were so good. It's hard to keep the quality of the pastries in a fast food joint but they delivered. fried chicken, They were also good but between this and the camperitos. I'd go with the camperitos. grill chicken, flavorful with lime and herbs. Juicy on the inside. All were delicious! read more

Pollo Campero - Latin American Near Me - Farmers Branch, Texas

This was my first time at Pollo Campero, but it will not be my last. I absolutely loved my experience. I walked in and was greeted by the delicious scent of fried and baked chicken. I swear I could taste the chicken already!! I looked over their menu, which was s nice mix of grilled and fried chicken, salads, sandwiches, and sides. I decided to order their smallest family meal, which came with eight pieces of chicken, rolls or tortillas, and two sides. My two sides were their creamy coleslaw and ranch beans. The coleslaw was not super sweet and had tons of finely cut cabbage. The beans were a little soupy, but had a nice flavor with just a hint of spice. I had a few coupons, so I used my first 25% off for the family meal and they allowed me to stack my other two coupons for a free chicken sandwich and a wing! When you check in on Yelp they offer you a free coupon for a wing or leg. I absolutely loved the lime flavored grilled chicken. The chicken was super juicy and full of a spicy mix of lime, pepper, and just a hint of salt. The only thing missing from Pollo Campero is a salsa bar! I think that having a bar with a mix of salsas, cilantro, onions, and other spices would be great and would really complement the chicken, tortillas and sides. read more

Honestly ....... the food is on point but the ordering process was bit of disaster. However the manager explained they had several new people working and training ( understandable). They made a small mistake on my order, however the manager took care of it. It took a bit longer than expected however I appreciated them fixing it for me before I left. Will come back for sure. read more

Crispy fresh flavorful AF! Love the texture of the batter.Yum! The fries are great too...empanada not my jam.

Pollo Campero is definitely a fast food establishment. You can tell that from the moment you pull in to the well-lit and extremely clean parking lot. However, you will never know it by the excellent quality of the food! I was PLEASANTLY SURPRISED!!! My dinner companion had told me how good Pollo Campero was. It has been on my list of places to try, but this was my first dining experience there. What makes Pollo Campero so unique is the marinate, which gives their chicken the "Sabor Campero" edge above the rest. We both had a hankering for chicken, so we got the new Half Chicken Special at a great price of $8.99. That way, we could sample both the fried and baked chicken. We got different side dishes so we could try a little of everything. The Campero Rice and Campero Beans were my favorites. The Campero beans were another surprise for me. The Campero beans were much thicker than I typically like--not quite as thick as refried beans, close to no juice at all. They were good, and next time I will ask for extra juice. Now, you might have to save a piece of chicken to take home with you, for a snack, if nothing else. That way, you can save room for dessert. Again, with the desserts we each got different desserts and split them, so we were able to taste them both. I preferred Cuatro Leches, and my dinner companion preferred the Caramel Flan. I suggest getting both desserts, and making your own decision. I recommend this establishment-- yes it is fast food, but you will never know it by the quality and taste of the food. read more

Very impressive with the quality of food I have to say the crispy chicken sandwich is 1000 times better than Popeye's chicken sandwich move over fast food chicken joints these place is really freaking good the only reason y give them 4* is because service was a little slow still, I'll come back I love that sandwich alone with cassava instead of fries way much better nice place! Thanks read more

We decided to get some chicken and beans and some rolls because we had sampled some at our friend's place of business. This time however we got home and discovered that the lid on the beans wasn't on tight, so the beans spilled all over the front seat of my clean car. My husband had really wanted the beans so I ordered more beans on a delivery app. These arrived with the lids not sealed tightly and so they were spilled into the bag. Oh, and we never received the rolls that we asked for in the first order. We won't go back. We didn't go inside so we didn't notice the environment. I can't believe this location had such bad prep compared to the other locations. read more

The chicken is great but the sides they give when you go through drive through are a joke. It's happened several times that if you order rice or beans, you get less than half of the container. Several occasions I thought they just gave me an empty container because there was hardly anything in it. read more

When I was little and would visit Guatemala this place was always a must. Although I don't remember much of the taste from the food I do remember this place use to have a more fast food feel.. Anyways I drove from plano all the way out here for this place and it was well worth it. The chicken is nice and crispy, yet moist and flavorful.(and not heavily greasy feeling) No regrets whatsoever when it comes to ordering a large side of platanos, trust me you'll go through them quick. read more

Pollo Campero - Latin American Near Me - Farmers Branch, Texas

This place is tasty! We stop here at least once a week. The grilled chicken is tender & flavorful - it falls right off of the bone. The Camperitos aren't your normal chicken nuggets either - they are all white meat & have herb flavorings that are complemented by the cilantro cream sauce. As far as the sides are concerned the Yucca fries are my favorite, especially if you're looking for a something slightly different than regular french fries. My wife loves the plantains. The food may take a little longer & may be a little more expensive than your usual drive-thru, but it's definitely worth it. Also, the staff is always friendly. read more

YOLO so must eat this Pollo! This is a pretty detailed review, so if you just want to know the nitty-gritty, it's really good. I was waiting for a prescription to be ready at the Walgreens across the street, and Yelp directed me across the street vs. driving through Whataburger next door. I had been there before, ordered a fried chicken sandwich, and sacked every salty morsel. But literally gained 2 lbs overnight due to the salt. So, i went to their website, checked out their menu nutrition options, and BAM saw a (semi) healthy choice of grilled breast and wing meal that comes with a side, choice of roll / tortilla , and drink. I almost chose the slaw (they have 2 kinds, and when restaurants have more than one choice of same veggie, you know their going to be good). But, nutrition facts steered me away, and I chose a better option: black beans. Sprinkled with just the right amount of onions throughout plus the creamy sauce made them surprisingly gourmet. I'll post some photos, of both food and online nutritional value....the sodium is off the chart, and it's all the seasoning in the skin. And trust me, it's yummy. But even peeling it off, the bare meat is flavored just enough. It's a mystery how they pack so much flavor and keep it moist! I also ordered the chicken nugget meal (menu name is different than "nuggets"), but that's what they are. I tried one and would rate it a 3 out of 5. And their fries are definitely not made in house. But it's a Latin restaurant. Not a Mickey D's. read more

This was by far the best grilled chicken I've ever ordered from a restaurant. I got the half chicken special, with half fried and half grilled. For my sides I ordered the corn and rice. The fried chicken was okay, nothing special. The grilled chicken was beyond great, I don't know how they seasoned it but it was sooooo good! The rice was bland, the corn salad was good. I got a free empanada with my Yelp check in, it was good also. read more

I've always enjoyed Pollo Campero from the first time I tasted their chicken. It's unbelievably juicy, even the white meat. The extras are great and the sauces are awesome. The Fried Chicken is awesome, Crispy on the outside, Juicy on the inside. The Grilled Chicken tastes just like if you made it on your grill at home. The Empanadas de Pollo, the Camperitos... finger licking good. I loved the Yucas Fritas but for some reason they always give me heartburn. A great combination is buying the Combination Fried Rice from Pho Empire on Beltline and some Fried Chicken from Pollo Campero... Mmmmmmm! read more

Ok, so this is not the second coming of Jesus or Donald Trump's impeachment, but this is some pretty damn good fast-ish food. Pollo Campero could put KFC out of business if everyone who ate KFC tried it also. I tried the four peice (half chicken) with fried wing and thigh and grilled leg and breast. First thing I noticed was how flavorful and juicy the chicken was. You can tell there is citrus on the marinade but the flavors are mild enough that the Latin flavors would not be too polarizing for traditional chicken lovers. The grilled breast was the star of the show. It needed no sauce, no nothing, just its own merits to be awesome. The fried was good too but I think next time I will try piece for piece fried vs grilled. So there is no mashed potatoes and gravy or coleslaw, BUT there are Campero beans and roasted corn salad. I saw a review that said there was some lack of flavor, but the BS flag flies high at my house on that one. The beans were as good or better than any ranchero/pinto style beans I have had a BBQ, Mexican, etc. restaurants. Tons of flavor without a lot of heat. I like heat but despite being very mild, these had so much flavor to them. The corn salad was a nice surprise. Its a signature side so I paid a bit more to add it, but well worth it. Corn, pumpkin seeds, tomatoes, cilantro, cotija cheese, and maybe a bit of citrus juice? Not 100% sure on everything but it was delicious. I tried the dipping sauces with my chipotle chicken empanada which was very nice as were the sauces but I am not going to brag too much on those. Unfortunately the corn tortillas were a bit of an afterthought, but then again, who cares, the chicken was just that damn good. Don't go here expecting anything but good chicken and sides, because well they dont have anything else. But when you go for good chicken and sides, you will be very happy and you will like my review for telling you to. read more

I am sorry but I hate their new menu. I feel like corporate got in the way. I really miss the cilantro sauce. Creama with the yucca fries is gone. I have gotten a a cool center in an empanada once. No tortillas twice. The chicken is amazing. And sorry the drove thru often does not understand my order (off menu/English with a yankee accent)-- but I often ask for my chicken separate because my other half is vegetarian and the sides used to be the bomb. They also used to be closed early from time to time which is lame. I live close enough and they coupon enough that I will probably get chicken again when too busy. Yelp check in gets a free leg or thigh. read more

Super crispy flavorful fried chicken with really unique side options. My favorites are the carmelized plantains and yucca fries. I just love having a variety in the usual fast food lineup read more

I really came for the sides coz not many chicken shops offer yucca fries, plantains and street corn on the menu--an interesting change of pace. Grilled chicken was just okay. read more

This place was so yum! The fried was like the best version of KFC I have ever had. The grilled chicken was juicy. I even enjoyed the rice where opposed to normal white rice it has cilantro and corn pieces and pairs very well with the black beans. The reason why it lost a star is because I wasn't asked what kind of sauce I wanted and my meal was supposed to come with two sauces (although in all honesty I didn't need them). The location closest to me is actually the one in lewisville but this location was so good I'm scared to try another one. read more

I was in the mood for some good protein and remembered the opening of this newish addition to FB. After a shopping trip across the street at Walmart Neighborhood Market, decided to give this spot a try. Drive through was a little slow, but after all this is not McD's and is not quite the typical fast food joint. I am a lover of dark meat so ordered two grilled thighs and two legs. That seemed confusing to the server as their grilled chicken does not come in individual pieces. After much conversation, she said she would give me two orders of 1/4 chicken, each one leg and thigh. Okay, that will work. I also ordered a small cole slaw and opted for the included roll instead of a tortilla. To my surprise I get to the window to pay and it's $9.73 including tax. Huh? This for 4 pieces of chicken and one cole slaw? I must say the chicken was delicious, moist, fall off the bone tender with the perfect smoky spicy flavor. I did enjoy this. Thus the reason for a weak 3 star instead of a 2. Not so much the cole slaw. It was drowned in a heavy mayo dressing; one bite, rest went down the disposal. As for the roll, it was MIA; I scrounged through the bag and it was not to be found. Sad face :( This meal would have been close to four stars were it not for the price and the roll left behind on the counter. Again, $9.73 for 2 thighs and 2 drumsticks just didn't leave a good taste in my mouth. While @ Walmart, I should have purchased their delicious rotisserie whole chicken for $4.98, which would have been at least 2 additional meals. Next time craving this favorite protein, that will be my choice. Chance of a return visit? Not likely. read more

This menu looks much better and different than when I tried it several years back. I love the variety of fried and grilled chicken, spicy or not. I had the spicy chicken empanadas (order of 3) and they were perfectly sized to feed 1-1/2 people. The chicken wasn't exactly spicy but flavorful for sure! I will certainly make sure to try one of their dipping sauces with it: honey mustard, chipotle honey, (I forgot the other two :( sorry)!!!! I definitely plan to come back to try more more more! read more

This is bar none the best spicy fried chicken place in Dallas. It is definitely worth it to go out of your way to come here. The restaurant has simple decor and is really clean. The staff here really bend over backward to make your meal to your satisfaction. The manager Luis really cares about your dining experience and since the manager sets the tone for any establishment, all the workers here work really hard to make your meal memorable. For example, even though it is a fast food restaurant and they have chicken under heat lamps for fast service, if you are not in a hurry, you can request that they cook your chicken to order and they will spend some quality time to make some really fresh, crispy, juicy fried chicken for you. Yum! Here is how they stand out. Other places that serve platanos in the DFW area will serve it dripping with oil. Pollo Campero will not do this. It is lightly fried in oil and then drained thoroughly afterwards so it won't be greasy. Other places do not serve Yucca fries. I have never had Yucca fries in the DFW area before. Their empanadas are meatier, moister, and more flavorful than any other place that serves empanada in Dallas. Heck, it is even better than the empanadas I ate in the Andes. The price is right, too. The empanadas are only $1.49. The maiz tortillas are moister than in other places because they wrap it in saran wrap to keep the moisture in. Many other places that serve fried chicken will reuse their fry oil from day to day. Pollo Campero changes their fry oil daily because the fried chicken is light golden brown and fragrant. Reusing fry oil results in a dark brown chicken that smells a bit rancid. All of these dishes are better than anything you'd find anywhere else in the DFW area because of their attention to detail. Even their to go boxes are superior. Other places will put fried chicken in styrofoam boxes. When you put hot fried chicken in styrofoam, the hot chicken will melt the foam and you will be eating carcinogenic styrofoam. Not good. Pollo Campero uses cardboard boxes for take out, which is costlier than styrofoam, but much better for the environment and your health. The roast chicken is very tasty if you eat the meat with your choice of flavorful sauce (they'll give you 4 types of sauces), a sprtiz of lime and a maiz tortilla. If you drink their guava drink with a cup full of ice and wait for some of the ice to melt, then it is perfect and not too sweet. The guava drink reminds me of this crazy pink alcoholic drink the Andes Indians drink out of enormous glasses with a super long sipping straw. The drinks at Pollo Campero are non-alcoholic, though. This is the only Peruvian fast food restaurant in the DFW area that I know of. The portions are big, the food is tasty, the price is right, and you will definitely leave with a smile on your face. Mucho sabor! Ay, ay, ay!!! read more

Pollo Campero - Mucho sabor! Clockwise from top; empanada, yucca fries, spicy fried chicken, roast chicken, maiz tortillas, and platanos. - Latin American Near Me - Farmers Branch, Texas

First visit. Mainly Hispanic customers filled the place. Counter staff said fried chicken is their main dish. Tried two piece dark which I got with two corn tortillas and a side of Campero Beans (pinto beans). The fried chicken was hot, tender, and moist. The breading was not over thick. The chicken was good. What I enjoyed the most however were the pinto beans and the home style corn tortillas. The place was crowded at the end of lunch hour, but I didn't have to wait over 5-10 minutes for my order. I would return and try some other options if I'm in the neighborhood. It's between SAMs club and the southbound approach to Love Field. read more
