    Rice  Campero Rice
    Elaine M.

    Been seeing Pollo Campero all over the interwebs (aka Instagram), so I've been bugging my husband about trying it. Finally dragged him into one--mainly because it was close to where he needed to run an errand. Hitting two birds with one stone... literally. The place was empty when we walked in, which surprised us. The inside was clean and kinda not well lit. We went big and ordered the 12-piece family meal with three sides, two chicken empanadas, and a fountain drink. Now, I don't condone this behavior, but my husband proceeded to taste-test every agua fresca flavor like he was at a Costco sample station. I can't take this man anywhere. He finally settled on mango, which unfortunately tasted a little watered down once the ice hit. The grilled chicken took about 13 minutes, which we didn't mind since the place wasn't exactly poppin'. While we waited, we went for the empanadas. One bite in--instant love. Now, I've had plenty of empanadas in my life, so I won't call it life-changing, but this one hit the spot. Soft bread, flavorful chicken, and just the right bite before we headed back. Back at work, we cracked open the rest of the meal like it was Christmas morning. One of our techs casually dropped that he'd been to the first Pollo Campero 20 years ago--umm, how did I not know this fun fact?! Anyway, onto the chicken: * Fried style: Crispy skin, juicy meat. Simple, solid, satisfying. * Grilled style: A little lime punch in the skin that was balanced and delicious. * Sides: Rice and coleslaw held their own, but the plantains stole the show. Not too sweet, not too tart--basically the perfect palate cleanser. Last little note: be kind to the people serving you. The woman helping us apologized for her English, but I understood her perfectly fine. She repeated my order, no issues. No need for her to feel bad--she did great. Would I go back? Absolutely. Next time, though, I'm keeping my husband far away from the agua fresca station.

    Three Piece Meal

    I have a Pollo Campero closer to me in Azusa but dined in at the Ontario location for lunch. I ordered 3 piece chicken meal with a side of plantains and mac & cheese and a dinner roll instead of tortillas. I forgot to ask for the roasted chicken so I guess the campero style is the default. Overall good food for the price. I ended up taking one piece and half the biscuit for takeout as the portion is generous. Would dine again, I'll try the roasted chicken next time.

    This place is great. I love their chicken. Even better than KFC. I get the grilled and crispy legs and thighs and both are very tasty. If you have not been to one I suggest you try it. You will be amazed.

    Jamaica drink

    I was so pleased with the Pollo Campero Covina fried chicken that I bought earlier today evening... I had to check out their Ontario location. For this one, I decided to go through drive-thru. Unfortunately, the wait was longer than expected. It was late dinner time so I understand. I got up to the ordering speaker and asked for 8 piece chicken leg + thigh only, 1 regular order of yucca fries, 1 mango drink, and 1 jamaica drink. After placing my order, the line of cars started to swiftly move forward. Got up to the window, paid for my order, a few minutes later, got my order in a big bag which was a surprise. I didn't think my order was that big to get a big bag. Anyway, for some reason, the fried chicken here is a tad drier and not as moist as the fried chicken at the Covina location. The crispiness was still good. Yucca fries were good. Mango drink was very light in flavor almost like flavorless water. Jamaica drink was better in flavor, but still a tad light. I've had much stronger mango and jamaica drinks. Staff was okay at the drive-thru window. Prices are a tad high especially if you average the cost per chicken IMHO. Again, service was slow due to them being busy. Parking is a bit tight IMHO. Ambiance on the outside was okay. Btw, I found out this location barely opened a week or so ago. Maybe they are just working out the kinks right now. I probably may not be back to this location as it is somewhat out of my way unless I'm in the area and I'm craving for some Guatemalan fried chicken. Now that I know they have one location in Fontana, I'll have to tried that one as well. Good luck Pollo Campero Ontario!

    Today is grand opening day. They had a table of branded promo stuff and a spin-a-wheel to win a prize. I spun and got a free combo meal coupon for the future. The parking lot was filled so I parked a block away. They also have a drive-thru as well, they did have staff outside to control the line since it was at the intersection. The inside was packed but there was staff to organize the line and wait area. I ordered their 3-piece meal with rice and beans with a dinner roll. ($12.99) They do have various sides such as yucca fries since they're based in Guatemala. They do have agua fresca alongside their soda fountain. I did not wait long and my food was packaged nicely to-go. The chicken was moist and hot, the breading was not too thick and the seasoning was not salty. It tasted different from other chicken places such as Kfc, Juan Pollo, or El Pollo loco, it was good. The seasoning made the breading darker but it was not burnt and it was cooked throughly. The rice and beans sides were good. The beans had a good seasoning, the rice had bits of roasted corn mixed in. I also got a chocolate chip cookie ($1.80), it was ok, more on the crunchy side. The staff was nice, Josh explained the menu well. They have an app.

    One packet of ketchup for this container of fries
    Tosha L.

    Been wanting to try one of these places and finally was able to, because there was a location, close to where I was working. I ordered a 2-piece dark, with fries and got a chocolate chip cookie for dessert. The chicken had a different type of seasoning taste to it, I can't quite grasp the taste. The menu read Yukon Steak Fries and the fries clearly aren't steak fries. I was only given one packet of ketchup for my fries. The cashier was too busy texting on his phone and kept looking at me, to see if I was watching him. Yeap, I surely am!! Especially since you have my credit card in your hands. Being on your phone with my credit card present, I have no I idea what you're doing, so I'm watching your every move. Needless to say, I've satisfied my curiosity, by trying this place for the first and last time.

    Four piece meal only leg and thigh. Not worth it get it how it should be, wing and breast, more chicken same Price.

    Went here the first time for done in, the service was good, food was good as well but a little pricey. Had the four piece combo only leg and thigh half crispy and half grilled. I liked the grilled better so flavorful, the crispy was good but greasy. The fries was greasy they served them as soon as they were done, even rice looked a little greasy. Then ordered a 12 piece for the familia only chicken, nobody liked it, my little brother and mom and dad. They said it was a little raw, and yes I looked at the chicken and it looked a tad bit pinkish, both grilled and crispy. They have potential, just need to cook the chicken a little more and rest the fried food a littlek longer before serving. My family grilled the left over chicken and made guraches and was good.

    Fried legs and thigh, mac and cheese, yucca fries and plantain

    Service was great but yikes...what happened to the food? It doesn't taste anything like Pollo Campero. I thought I was at Church's for a minute... but church's chicken isn't even this oily.

    We did drive through, the workers where super helpful, we order the 3 piece meal. The food was delicious and fresh. The restaurant is new and super clean outside. Here is a pick of the meal we order

    We were excited anticipating the opening of Pollo Campero and we were not disappointed! The chicken was flavorful, moist, crispy and HOT. I hate when my food is cold so that's a plus for me. The empanada was delicious! Flaky and juicy The Mac and cheese was cheesy and creamy. Truly appreciate the food being nice and hot upon receipt. My only complaint is the drive through and parking. The drive through window is so close to the exit that when they ask you to pull to the side, it's pretty difficult to back up and park especially when there are multiple cars that they ask to pull to the side. When I attempted to leave, cars were blocking the exit waiting for their food. I recommend that is looked into as it is a huge inconvenience and possible hazard. Otherwise, I highly recommend trying Pollo Campero!

    I don't know what is going on with Egg N Bird, but my visit this week was completely different…read moreexperience than my past visits. First off the menu is pretty much gone. There used to be 9 breakfast food options that are no longer available. There were 5 rice bowl options that have been reduced to 2, and the 5 sandwich options are now down to 3. I'm sure for operation costs, they've had to cut down and just sell their top sellers? That's what I'm assuming because why else would you eliminate 75% of your menu? I was hoping to get some of the breakfast options for my kids and a few of the rice bowls, but since breakfast was no longer available, and I didn't really have many rice options, I just picked up the Korean bowl. I came home and ate the bowl and it was awful. The chicken was so so dry, it honestly tasted like they had gotten a leftover piece and threw it in the fryer again to warm it up. I'm so sad because I loved this place so much. But, with such a limited menu (we mainly came because my kids enjoyed the breakfast menu) and the food being so bad now, I don't think I'll be back.

I must say the chicken was pretty dang juicy and with that first bite it popped that egg and made it all runny and messy! I was on the constant slurping, sucking and biting with this situation but definitely a fun one. The Chicken Strips were also juicy AF and that Crack Sauce they give you was the game changer! I'm not a sauce person but this was hitting my tastebuds like no other! The service was pretty good and the shop is pretty chill with a lot of traffic with all the to go orders but still a cool little spot to eat at. And that's my take on it, Peace and out.

We paid for a meal that we never received, and instead of fixing the problem, we were told to call back another day. How is that an acceptable way to treat paying customers? Our daughter was left without her dinner, and the restaurant showed absolutely no urgency or concern in resolving the issue. This is by far the worst customer service we have experienced. If a restaurant makes a mistake, the least they can do is take responsibility and make it right. Being told to wait until tomorrow to discuss a missing, paid-for meal is ridiculous. Extremely disappointed and frustrated with how this was handled. This place is TRASH and WE WILL NEVER COME BACK HERE AGAIN!

There is simply no burger like it anywhere else. It has this incredible smoky flavor, the meat is always super juicy, and they manage to get the bun perfectly crispy. It hits the spot literally every single time I visit. I have tried a lot of the similar spots around here, and I can confidently say that Andy's is monumentally better than Legends, Tams, or any other place like that. While those places are fine, Andy's just has a quality to it that puts it in a league of its own. It's the kind of food that you crave constantly after you've had it once. Even though the burger is the main attraction for me, the rest of the menu is actually really solid too. I have branched out and tried their Club sandwich, the BLT, and the chicken sandwich on different occasions. All of them were fresh and so delicious, but I have to admit that the burger is just insane and hard to beat. On top of the food being 10/10, it is also incredibly affordable, which is rare these days. The service is always impressive because they are so fast, and the staff is genuinely very kind. The interior is just your normal, standard look, nothing good or bad, but most importantly, it is always kept very clean. I love Andy's so much and can't recommend it enough!!

"Andy's Burger" with cheese: The overcooked patty looked recently frozen (II think) and was shaped like a thin hockey puck. One slice of tomato and four giant leafs of lettuce, like they were trying to make the burger more substantial. The slice of cheese and Thousand Island were fine, and I skipped the pickles. The bun was thin in size but unbelievably thick in texture with a bad taste, similar to the overall product. I also ordered tried a shake with chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. The strawberry overpowered the other flavors and didn't taste very strawberry-like. It wasn't a light pink color either, like most strawberry ice cream, but more of a dark red raspberry. It was suuuuper thick and very challenging to drink through the straw . Should have been served with a spoon. Not a fan. The service was good and the restaurant was big and clean.Their menu is expansive. With regard to the burger portion of the menu, it doens't give the size of the burger (I think it was 1/3 lb) and the pictures are misleading. Perhaps there are other good things on the menu, but based on this experience, the burger isn't one of them.
