Not good took to long , you pay for food that they don't have check your order before you take it they don't know how to count read more

The food is amazing just the cashiers are slow but other than that this food is amazing . The chicken is very flavorful and it's just sooo delicious read more

Food was okay, not great. Service was not very good, the cashier was not really focused on her work and she looked like she did not want to be there. Not really what I expected. I don't know if I would visit this place again. read more

While attending a recent training in the area, I was directed to this place by several regulars. Don't be mistaken..this is a fast food joint..with a slight difference..authentic homemade taste! I elected to try the empanadas meal..three (3) handmade empanadas filled with their signature chicken with the choice of a "classic" (coleslaw) side for $5.99. I also upped the ante and got a "signature" side of yuca fries with a special sauce..different but tasty. The place is clean..the staff friendly and helpful and the "fast" food delicious..so if you are ever in the area..and need a little grilled latin-style chicken or an empanada to take the edge off..then give this place a try! read more

My wife and I attempted to access a menu on their website. What a mess! No prices, nothing connects, etc. We went to Pollo Fiesta instead. We were originally impressed with a great write-up in the local Richmond, VA newspaper. Shows what they know...Maybe drumming up much needed advertising? read more

I decided I wanted to try the Latin restaurant...so I ordered a "to go" order. First let me say the chicken ( fried ) was good. The restaurant was very clean and decorated professionally. I was the only person placing an order at the time but there were 4-5 tables waiting on their meals at the tables from what I could tell. I thought the sides were good. One thing that surprised me, the servers behind the counter were reading a Campero color advertisement and even though what I ordered was on sale, I wasn't offered the color ad until I paid for my meal at full price. LOL. I would have, as a business, handled that differently. I'll visit the restaurant again. read more

Pollo Campero specializes in el salvadoreno style fried chicken and is located in a shady shopping center off of midlothian within close distance to the stiff competition of chicken fiesta. I live in the west end and traveled all the way to southside to try this place out. I ended up buying a lot of food for some of my friends who swore by pollo campero saying its the best. I ended up ordering 2 20 piece (legs and thighs) and 5 orders of campero rice and 5 orders of campero beans which set me back about 110 bucks. The chicken was ok but besides the fact that you would need a deep fryer to cook the chicken tasted like something you could make at home, it didnt wow me. It is possible that I have been spoiled by Bonchon and the size of their drums but these drums were small and fried to the point where you can see the bone at the bottom. The thighs were just ok too. My favorite part of the meal was probably the rice it was considerably better than chicken fiesta. The beans had really good flavor but were really heavy on the salt. On the menu it said each side could feed 3-5 people and i was feeding 15 so i ordered accordingly, to my disappointment when i opened the sides they were filled 2/3 of the way...all of them...If i'm not mistaken i should have also gotten tortillas with my 2 orders of chicken, didn't get them either. If i was reviewing soley based on food i would give them a 3 but for the service and atmosphere i had to knock it down a star. This place could probably be best described as a latino version of Popeyes. Upon walking in there were several dirty tables covered in trash and kids running everywhere as i was placing my order, i even witnessed a young child running into the kitchen area. The manager was so busy trying to explain to a customer they could not use the coupon on their phone he put me on hold for several minutes. All in all it wasn't the employees or the manager that necessarily made my experience unpleasant it was the other customers that irked the hell out of me, customers with no public dining etiquette or public etiquette in general. I guess its like walking into a bar and expecting casual dining service, shame on me. I probably won't be going back. Even my el salvadoreno friends said the food wasn't as good as they had remembered. read more

Went around noon on a Friday for lunch. While the shopping center is kind of skeezy, the restaurant was clean and not that busy. I got the camparitos (nuggets) with cilantro lime dipping sauce, an empanada, and fried plantains. I thought everything was pretty tasty. I will go back there again. read more

I'd never heard of this company but saw they'd opened up down the street and decided to give them a try. I'm quite happy with my decision. They have delicious citrus-marinated chicken that's meaty, juicy and flavorful. They're a chain apparently but the food is still quite good. I've only been the one time but it was good enough that I'll definitely return. read more

The food here is really good nothing is to greasy maybe a little I love the food they all are really respectful if they do something wrong in your Oder than can give u a free one read more

This place is OKAY... nothing to speical buy kfc and squeez some lime on it and you got yourself pc chicken. How ever i do like the empandas here, try them you wont be disappointed. read more

I tried this restaurant when it first opened and it really wasn't great. I would've given it three stars at that point. Today I decided to give them another go now that they are at least a year into their opening. ....plenty of time to work out the kinks. They finally have a few specials and do they ever need them! Their prices are borderline ridiculous. I did have to ask for it at the end of the order, as the cashier rang me up at regular price which I was unaware of until she asked if I wanted a drink and I knew the special came with one. So ask or you shall not receive. As I was waiting for my food, two girls come in and whisper something to the cashier and they all then proceed to look my way. The girls made a beeline for me, not bothering to stop at the man at the counter as well. I know now it's because I was deemed the dumb white tourist. One of the girls in broken English asked me for a donation because her father "has cancer". She then produced a tattered photograph of some poor Hispanic man in a hospital bed intubated and with multiple IV lines coming from every possible venous access point. All I could do was shake my head and hand her a darn dollar to get her out of my face. I started to mention how ashamed she should be trying to pull off the story she fed with that photograph, but if I truly wanted to get my point across I shouldn't have held out the bill. In discussed, I said something to the cashier about this and she smiled and nodded. Anyway, I am now home eating the food and it still sucks. Don't waste your time. Definitely don't waste your money and you definitely don't need the frustration of people coming to beg for money when you're just trying to have a meal that you made the decision to honestly work for. read more

Chicken was very dry. A simple menu item order took over 20 minutes to prepare. They gave me the wrong item (discovered when I went back to the office.) Over priced compared to portions. Cole slaw was like eating cabbage soaked in milk that sat in the sun for a few hours then they quick cooled to aerve. Fries were in a VERY small bag. Why anyone would go here instead of chicken fiesta (next door) is beyond me. And no I don't own or work at chicken fiesta. I would pass on this place. read more

I was very disappointed when i received my order i was missing a piece of chicken nd my wing barely had any meat waist of money never going back not worth the price read more
