    Inside

    I had big expectations about this place because one of a fellow yelper said it is great, so i had to try it. Unfortunately maybe It was not the best day. Service was fast. Inside was clean well lit and organized. Something is off with the setting they seem not super comfortable on the booths. Anyhow so far we are still 5 star. On the other hand, Let's talk about food chicken was extremely greasy and fries were just sad, so we are back to 3 Stars I will definitely come and try again, as you should as well

    The drive to Kyle is worth it!! Pollo campero is comfort food for us and it never disappoints. The chicken is seasoned to perfection and crispy. The yuca fries were good and the plantains were cooked perfectly. We ate so fast I forgot to take a picture. Honestly one of our favorite places for chicken.

    Delicious food

    I love this place ! Pollo campero has an authentic flavor in its chicken from Central America that is so delicious ! I love that their food is Guatemalan and that they pride themselves and have it written on the walls. The rice and beans were delicious very tasty. The guy Rogelio was nice and the older kitchen lady was also very nice and kind. They had great customer service Rogelio asked us if we needed anything when they brought the food and the lady brought us out the food as well. When we left he checked if we needed to go boxes and bags. Very nice restaurant overall solid experience and will return for the juicy chicken YUM!

    It was my first time trying this Guatemalan chain restaurant, which (dare I say) is better than Chick-fil-A! They offer chicken sandwiches with choice of side dishes. I got spicy chicken with plantains and yuca fries. The sauce tastes so similar to Chick-fil-A sauce. The staff is so friendly-they were able to answer our questions on the food. In addition to typical soda, they also offer mango, hibiscus, and horchata drinks. The food is like fast food but the inside of the restaurant is so clean and you don't have to clean up yourself! It has a drive thru.

    Let me start off by saying I really wanted this place to be successful because I know how good they can be. I've had the chance to first try it in Guatemala when we were on vacation visiting my hubby's family and everything was sooo good. The plantains were my favorite and the chicken excellent. We came the first time to this location when they had the grand opening. They had a wheel you can spin for prizes and they were giving out samples of their drinks like horchata. We knew we would be waiting a while. There was ALOT of people. The staff was keeping up and they were serving with smiles. The chicken and rolls are good. We tried to have a little bit of everything but those two were my focus. The place is set up like a fast food joint with a drive thru and they have an app to earn rewards and order with the app. I would say give it a chance and go from there.

    We were excited to try this new place in Kyle. We waited a while to give them a chance to work out the bugs ... Well, gotta say, pretty disappointed. First we had to wait more than 20 minutes for our food. The grilled chicken was extremely dry. The beans taste like ranch style beans. And they no longer have mashed potatoes ... after they just started here!! The mac n cheese was okay, but a little clumpy. The fried chicken wasn't bad and the rolls were really good. Those two things are the only reason this place gets 3 stars. Otherwise I'd give it 1 star.

    Although I dislike leaving bad reviews, I have to be honest. My husband loves rotisserie chicken and was excited when he learned that Pollo Campero was going to be close. He thought he found his local fix, however he was mistaken. The drive through was empty so I checked the reviews. They were bad but Hubby still wanted to give it a try. We bought a 4 piece mix, fried and baked (that's what I call it) with coleslaw and rice. The chicken was dry. The fried chicken had a seasoning on it that I found overwhelming. The slaw was soupy, way too wet for us, and the rice was ok. Overall, we will not be back. I hope they are able to change their recipes or something to improve their food.

    I was in Kyle for an appointment and noticed this new restaurant, so I thought I'd try it. The drive-thru line didn't seem that long but the wait was a bit longer than expected. I almost got out of the line but couldn't. The line eventually moved and it wasn't too long after that when I reached the window. I ordered the Campero chicken bowl. It was ok. Not horrible but nothing to bring me back. The portion of chicken was generous. I definitely couldn't finish the bowl. It could use more cheese and some sauce. Pinto beans are typically a bit mushy, so it was a little odd in a bowl. The "avocado" was definitely a mix of other ingredients. Tasted fine, though. I read reviews while waiting in line. It is fairly new, so it might take some time for staff to get adjusted and trained. I also read their fried chicken is really good. If it's like the chicken in the bowl I can see why. This chicken patty was well seasoned and crispy. A little confused and disappointed that the chicken patty "contains pork" but it is clearly stated on the menu. The young lady at the window was ok. She was busy, no complaints.

    Pollo Campero always seems to have a line of cars so we've avoided it, but had heard good things from this Guatemalan born recent addition to Kyle's restaurant landscape. After a trip to Costco the family and I decided to grab a late lunch and there wasn't a big line so it was the perfect time. We went inside but we ordered to go. We got the 8 piece dinner (enough for 4) and split the chicken half fried and half grilled. It was off peak time (2:30p) but the restaurant was pretty full. We were 3rd in line to order. Waited about 10 minutes for our order. The chicken was really good. Juicy and flavorful. The grilled had a nice lemon-peppery zing. The fried had a good crispy skin. Yuca fries are stout and filling. Just 2-3 suffice. Plantains were a nice sweet dessert-like end to the meal. Feeding a family of 4 for under $30. We will be back.

    Allergen info not accurate please update !!
    Sandy B.

    For those with allergies please beware!! Their HORCHATA has PEANUTS !! Their website says tree nuts and milk But Not all Horchatas are the same as most people know Horchatas from Mexico is made of (rice milk and sugar and cinnamon). This is a Central American chain and the horchata is different. Unfortunately my little nephew had an allergic reaction to taking a few sips of his horchata drink.he is ONLY allergic to peanuts . Central American Horchata is made with spices and nuts and PEANUTs Their website didn't state that so just wanted to let any other readers thinking of going here to just know this. It was a scary Sunday evening at the hospital. And I did alert their manager and corporate to update this information ! But who knows how long that will take. So Consumers must know! Our Drive thru order was cold they forgot beans and plantains in my meal order and dips for sandwiches. So not sure if it's worth the hype . Check your drive through orders and make sure they r accurate before driving off it's a pain when u get home and see that food is missing and you are charged .

    Located in a gas station off of I-35, resides KFC; home of the 11 herbs and spices! I can't speak…read moreon the interior of the facility as I only used their drive-thru. The facility attaches to a gas station so it doesn't have much "curb appeal," but who cares? It's KFC and we're taking it home! That said let's get into the "meat" of this brief review, shall we? The older lady who took my order was extremely nice and accommodating. Moreover, the staff filled my order with speed and they even asked if I needed containments. I believe this is a lost art in the last few years among fast food restaurants, implying most don't ask so they don't feel obligated to give them out to cut back on costs. As for my order it was limited to a few items as I'm trying to diet but I was craving fried chicken so I decided to give it a shot. To begin, I thought biscuits automatically came with the order, however no dice on that. As for the mac & cheese, it was bland as standard for most of their sides. That said it was cheesy and the pasta wasn't overcooked so it was edible but had no soul. Much the same can be said about the mashed potatoes. Dried potatoes that are rehydrated with some boxed gravy mixed with water on top. Again, not much flavor but I end up putting my fried chicken crumbles on it so it's not like eating paste. As for the chicken, I got two thighs and they were fairly plump and crispy! It's been a while since KFC got much right imo and to see their chicken can be still be good as any competitor out there. The one issue I had was the breading was extremely salty as if the shaker lost the lid when they were sprinkling it in the flour. It was a little over the top. Now, these thighs were HUGE, I mean even Oprah would be like... DANG! What's more they were extremely juicy as if God himself blessed the fryer when they were cooking. Best KFC chicken I've had in years and two thighs were enough for lunch and dinner, at least for me. In summary, while the sides were exactly what one thinks when going to KFC the chicken was the star of the show, as it should be however the rest of the food was subpar. Hey joke for you all reading! Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to KFC (read into that with a slight tinge of darkness). I'll end it with saying the next time I have an itch for great fried chicken, I'll be hitting this joint again. Don't be chicken, drop on by!

Here are my thoughts:…read more There are a few things you can always count on at CFA, and this one in Kyle is no exception. -First, the service is always friendly, courteous, and attentive. -Second, your food always comes out quickly. It is truly fast food. -Third, your food always comes out hot--including waffle fries and chicken sandwich. -Fourth, the food quality is incredibly consistent from store to store. You know what you're going to get. -Fifth, the restaurant and bathroom are always clean. Here are a couple of things I didn't expect... -They have a "new" (to me) drink called Sunjoy Tea, which has a lemony flavor like an Arnold Palmer. Loved it! -They also had automatic opening garbage cans, very convenient when you're leaving and your hands are full. Highly recommended!!

    Staff was friendly enough for fast food but subpar for CFA…read more The interior is clean, but the play place and bathrooms are not. High chairs were not wiped out. During the dinner rush, there was not a feee table in sight. This is to be expected for the popular chain. However, 4 tables had staff. 3 were single employees eating. Understandable that you want to enjoy your break, but maybe double up during peak hours. The fourth table was some sort of staff meeting of giggling management types in button ups. I'm sure they were going over serious matters and staffing, but again, read the room and open up space for customers. Came two days in a row since it's too cold for the little one at the park . Spills and food in the play place were there both days.

The place is a good size and they have outside seating. They have a bar area and TVs. We were greeted right away and when there was a change in shift and servers we were informed before he was done with his shift which was nice. The food was cooked fresh and we just had water to drink. We ordered some appetizers and it looked all good so we got the sampler. The onion rings were so good. Haven't enjoyed onion rings for years. It was fresh, flavorful & yummy. The while sampler was pretty good. My fave were the rings and mushrooms. We ordered wings because they have wings in their name, so we had to try that and they turned out to be very good. They were cooked to order, a good size and they drown it with your choice of sauce. I had the garlic parmesan, hubby had extra hot because they didn't have the wicked, and my so had the Jamaican jerk. We were all satisfied and very happy with what we ordered. The place smelled clean and sanitary when you came in and staff was friendly and on top of things. I recommend this spot and Im sure we'll visit again when in the area. I'm not sure why they get low rating but I think they did great and served excellent food.

This location isn't bad but its def not on par with my fave location in south Austin. The wings here weren't as crispy and a bit drier (not dry just not as juicy). I got garlic parm, korean bbq and reg hot. The garlic parm flavor was ok...a bit light on flavor but again, not bad. The reg hot was the best flavor as it balanced the spice and butter perfectly for a wing. The korean bbq was a total let down. I noticed it wasn't sticky like I'm accustomed to. It was also VERY brown, like bbq sauce. Then i bit it and...bbq sauce. I could tell it was meant to be spicy bbq but the bbq flavor just dominated...i dunno whats up with that sauce but i wasn't wing stop korean bbq like i know it to be.

    They got it right... eventually!…read more I had a craving and a coupon. Dangerous combo, LOL. Since I hadn't indulged in KFC in a hot minute, I decided to go for it. Placed my order inside rather than try to communicate the cut-out of a snail-mailer coupon usage via drive thru. Was a good choice, because the employee took my order and quoted me the wrong amount. Coupon said $18.99 for a 8-piece meal, aaand he quotes me almost $30. And I'm like "Nah, that can't be right." He futzed with the console awhile but had to go get help from a more experienced employee. That's fine. I paid and was handed my order quite quickly and I took it home to eat. Foolish me didn't double-check what I'd been given in store. I hate doing that cuz it probably frustrates the employees like they can't be trusted. And yet... there was nasty-ass coleslaw instead of delicious mac n' cheese. All because they had to re-enter the order when the coupon failed and didn't input it correctly the second time. -_-# So I ate my meal at home a little grouchily (especially cuz they didn't provide any butter for the biscuits??), then shoved the leftovers in the fridge. Well, turns out I needed to hit up Walmart later that evening for milk, so I took the coleslaw back. It was five minutes 'til closing time for their lobby (9pm) and one of the doors was already locked, but the other wasn't yet. Whew. They weren't weird about it or anything, I just stated "Yeah I wanted mac n' cheese and was given coleslaw." and they replaced it super quick no questions asked. So in the end I got what I wanted. And it did all taste really good. I've been nomming the leftovers ever since, tossing the chicken and biscuits in my air fryer. Eight pieces of chicken is like four meals for me... and for twenty-ish bucks? In this economy, that's actually decent, pfft. So yup. Moral of the story: Just double-check your price before you pay and your food before you leave. =P

Though fried chicken is a southern delicacy, KFC is not. Remember the 8 piece family meal you ordered for a family of 2. All the regrets, as you had leftovers for days. The chicken was not crispy, but rather limp. You should have known better when the drive thru attendant asked if you, "wanted regular or extra crispy". The chicken itself was greasy and plain, but not as bad as Church's. The biscuits, not the worst, but still pretty damn bland and dry. If the batter was beaten better to make it fluffy, baked less and whipped with a brush of honey butter, these would have lowkey smacked. The fries, room for improvement, as these were overly salted, but had the best crisp and flavor. Mashed potatoes, no notes. You were the best thing in this meal.
