    Nuggets and classic sauce
    Chantal S.

    First time trying pollo campero. I got the 6 piece nugget meal. It came with 6 decent size nuggets, a roll, and one side but no drink and that was $11. The flavor was decent but it was a bit salty. I think it's way over priced. I probably wouldnt try them again especially since there isn't a location close to me . The staff was kind and service was good. Short wait time. I went through the drive through so I cant speak to the inside/ambiance but it looks like a newer restaurant.

    Campero Chicken Sandwich Meal with some Nuggets - Terrible Pickles
    Joe S.

    Campero must mean "cooked a while ago" in German. Probably stopping in at 3p on a weekend isn't the best choice for freshness, but the flavors were spot on, so I'll cut them a break from a 3 star review. The chicken combo meal special was $12 and came with a chicken sandwich, fries, 4 nuggets, sauce, and a drink. It was a good deal in comparison to their regular menu prices. I didn't want fries, but this deal had no substitutes. (Now I have Chef's song from South Park in my head) The chicken sandwich was fresh and crispy and delicious with a nice piece of chicken and pickles... but ohhhhh those pickles... blah! They were sweet or bread and butter or something that I didn't want near me. Get that pickle out of my mouth quick! (Don't actually yell that in the store) The fries and nuggets had much to be desired though. They had potential but they were probably made way before they were presented. Like the sandwich, the chicken was moist and flavorful, but the breading was a bit stale. Same with the fries, the first few were OK, but they rest sucked. Maybe they do that thing where they serve stale fries and sprinkle some fresh ones on top. They also have grilled chicken (on the bone) which was pretty good and flavorful and tender and juicy. I wish they had a grilled chicken sandwich, but if you want grilled, you'll have to eat it off the bone. It's kinda pricey but I can see myself going back. They have Horchata which you can refill yourself (danger alert as that is liquid crack), the flavors are bold and good, but they have to do something about the freshness.

    3 piece dark meat

    Pollo Campero was a pleasant surprise when it comes to fast food fried chicken. It's an easy to find restaurant with good amounts of parking in the lot. The person taking my order greeted me in Spanish, but was capable of taking my order in English as well. The place is clean and tidy and there's honestly nothing to compain about. Getting into the food - I ordered a 3 piece dark meat with fried yuca. I specifically asked for 2 thighs and 1 leg, and they were happy to accommodate. Every order comes with a bun. It was all very delicious. The meat was juicy and the yuca was tasty. I do wish the chicken was slightly bigger or they served a larger portion of the sides. Overall, it's a great choice if you're in the area, need something fast, and are in the mood for fried chicken.

    Empanadas and Mac & Cheese
    Daniel S.

    Flavor: I go for the fried chicken, yuca fries, Mac & cheese, and their custom empanada. Always tasty, sometimes a little heavy on the fried chicken seasoning (tastes salty) but easily fixed with the side roll or bite of yuca fry or Mac & cheese. Will try the chicken sandwich soon. Always seeing people with trays of chicken ... that's what's up. Service: friendly and helpful staff! Made sure to tell me about an empanada deal so always appreciate the heads up. I see other reviews with drive-thru experiences, but I've only always ate-in. Other notes: bright colors all around are fun Location & Parking: always easy to find and enough parking Price: good deals, average price for chicken these days Is it whats up? It's good easy and quick food

    This spot was great! The staff was friendly and courteous, and my food came out quickly and fresh. This was my second time visiting this location, and both experiences have been wonderful. I'll definitely be coming back again soon!

    The special that apparently doesn't exist.

    First time at Pollo Campero, and it was...interesting. I checked their website before heading over, wanting to be quick in the drive-through, and not be "that guy." I saw the Half Chicken Special listed right on top. Perfect, I thought. Pollo is a fairly new fast food place located next to the Johnny Clean carwash, with bright festive paint and patio seating. I pulled up to the drive-through, and the order taker acted like I was asking for something from Mars when I mentioned the Half Chicken Special. Apparently, it doesn't exist. Okay, fine. Not one to argue and starving, I switched to the 4-piece grilled. Then, I was told they had no grilled chicken. If I wanted grilled, it would be a 30-minute wait. The whole point of a drive-through, for me, is speed. Especially after leg day. LEG DAY! 30 minutes? That's a long time. I understand this place is relatively new, so they may be working through some issues. I said thanks, but no thanks. I do enjoy grilled chicken, so I'll probably give Pollo Campero another try in the future, hoping they've smoothed things out. But for now, it was disappointing. Two stars for now, with potential for more later.

    Went for the first time and loved it. Great food and great service all around. We will be back and highly recommend. The menu options were great too. Chicken sandwiches, family, platters, and lots of delicious sides to choose from. Silvia and Desteny were great employees working !!!

    I'm from The Bronx & I recall the night before Pollo Campero opened there, the lines wrapped around the block. So when I saw the sign on E. Colonial, I was excited. Waited patiently, and finally, I had it! I like that there's a drive-thru, although with how it took to get my food, I don't know how the drive-thru works. It's fast food but not THAT fast food. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. There is parking both in the front and on the side. I ordered the 2-piece meal, leg & thigh served with a side of your choosing, I chose yucca fries & a dinner roll for $9.20. For the chicken, you also have the choice of fried or grilled. I chose fried. This did not include a drink. I went with the Hibiscus water, $3.00. The prices, in my opinion, The person who took my order was efficient. Pointed the options, like grilled vs fried. And it's not fast food, we waited a good 10mins maybe for our food. The food: The chicken flavor was there. It had great seasoning, and it was juicy. Do wish the skin was crispier, but it could have gotten less crispy on my 10-minute drive home. The yucca fries were dry and hard. In fact, they tasted as if they were old. The dinner roll, tall & fluffy but flavorless. Really, the star of the show is the flavor of the chicken and how well cooked it is. Not greasy at all. I love seasoned food. I may be back for some more chicken only.

    Lousy. Tasteless food at spiked prices. Prices on receipt higher than on menu board. First and last.

    This visit, it appears things may not be going great for the business. The staff are friendly and…read morewonderful as always, and the food is freshly prepared the actual atmosphere felt as though they were closing. The wooden panels were peeling off the wall, the drink offerings were only half working (frozen machine completely off). It just has a vibe that the owners don't care which was sad. But the important thing is the team and food were great. Yes, it may seem a bit pricey for what you get but it's a novelty and worth treating yourself. I hope the ownership is able to get things back in order again soon!

    One of my favorite places to eat ever since it opened. And I never get tired of it. If I could go…read morethere everyday I would but it obviously wouldn't be healthy. But when I do go I usually order the regular mozzarella dog with fries and a drink or if I'm really famished I order the potato mozzarella dog. My favorite sauce toppings are ketchup, honey mustard, sweet chili and parmesan cheese sprinkled over the sauces. But this time around I put on garlic parmesan sauce to give it a try. It wasn't bad. My favorite part of course is when i bite into the dog and that cheese pull is amazing! It's so satisfying seeing the melted cheese keep stretching the farther you pull away from your mouth. The fries here are nice and crunchy as well. Not like any other place that sells fries. You literally hear the crunch. And the strawberry lemonade i love the flavor. But i always have to water it down because it's extremely sweet for my taste. Very refreshing though. Now the only thing is that the place itself looks more and more run down every time I go. The place should be worked on and renovated because it's not appealing to the eyes. 3 out of the 5 screens that show the menu don't seem to be working because they were off. The combination for the sauces and condiments that can be used on the dogs are written on peices of paper. The walls and paint look worn out. Not too professional if you ask me. And like I said not appealing to the customers. But again food amazing! There are juat a few things that need to be updated.
