    Mango

    Perfect for a Sunday afternoon, lunch. Ordered our favorite half fried and half charbroiled with our favorite drink mango. Appreciate the discount from the app. Great customer service!

    Empanada Trio Meal
    Allyssa C.

    We love to stop and bring the family. The meals are super affordable. This time we got the Empanada Trio Meal with a side of Yuka fries. I love the comparo sauce. I think it makes the meal. We also got a side of plantains. They were delicious. We love taking their food to go, but we also learn that they have a law-enforcement 50% off deal.

    I'm a bit conflicted about how to write this review, and I'll explain why in a bit. Pollo Campero was originally established in Guatemala, and since I'm from Guatemala, I wanted to treat my parents to our favorite restaurant from when we used to live there. I hosted a PPV event last night and decided to visit the nearest Pollo Campero, which happened to be the one in South Gate. As you walk in, you're greeted with the enticing scent of their delicious fried chicken. I ordered their 20-piece family meal with all fried and mixed chicken, along with mac and cheese, plantains, rice, beans as sides, and 12 empanadas. The lady at the register offered their special of four empanadas for $7 and honored it for the 12 that I ordered, which I thought was really nice of her. The total for this meal came out to be $103, which I felt was a good deal. The ambiance had the typical Pollo Campero vibe, and it was super busy on this Saturday afternoon. It took about 15 minutes for my order to be prepared, and I double-checked everything was there before heading home. Here's where things got a bit confusing. When I unpacked my bags, I noticed that the containers for the sides didn't look like a family-size portion, meaning it didn't seem like it was meant to feed "20 people." Since I was expecting 15 people for the event, my wife ended up making some more rice, beans, and mashed potatoes. The food itself was delicious as alway,s. My family enjoyed it so much that we didn't have any leftovers. It was our first time trying the empanadas, and they were delightful, with plenty of chicken and flavor. The sides were also flavorful, and the plantains were crunchy and sweet. Overall, the customer service and food quality were perfect. The portion size for a family meal appears to be a corporate issue rather than a problem with this specific restaurant, so I'm giving it five stars. I'll be back again.

    Fried chicken

    I had low expectations of this restaurant but my wifey and I were pleasantly surprised about the food. I was informed that the fried chicken was more popular than the grilled chicken. After trying both, I thought it would be the reverse. Either way, the meat is very well seasoned before cooking. The flavor penetration was deep and it tastes wonderful. The yuca fries have a slightly different taste and texture. Combined with the dipping sauce, you are in for a treat. If you eat in, the food is served on colorful plastic plates for a change of pace. The mango and jamaica drinks are not too sweet but very refreshing. The service is very warm and friendly and the facility is clean and well maintained. I don't know why the chain is rated so low. Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed.

    Came in on a Tuesday night with the family. Used an awesome coupon they offered on the app and also enjoyed a few more items they offered. The chicken was delicious the drinks were refreshing. And the service was 5 stars. The restaurant space is open and plenty of seating. Will def be back to enjoy. Shout out to Carla for the help with the app and patience with our ordering.

    The fry chicken was good and the salad, but the plantain with sour cream has a terrible flavor like gas from freezer.

    Very disappointed chicken didn't taste anything like the original Pollo Campero. (Very expensive for just fry chicken)

There is a private lot but fills up, and there's also adjacent street parking. I love sitting at the bar and seeing the plate being prepared. Also love the open freezers so you can see the fresh seafood hanging. Another standout was the homemade hot sauces! Each had a distinct flavor from sweet, smokey, and hot so it was really fun to try. The ceviches and the raw cold dishes were my favorite, especially the scallop aguachile! SO GOOD. Would order that 100 times.

Order the Kanpachi taco: a shatter-crisp blue corn tortilla, molten fried cheese, silky buttery kanpachi, and a slick of smoky chili oil drizzled over top. The kind of taco you'll think about long after you've experienced it. You can't go wrong with the ceviches, cocteles, or aguachiles. The ceviche is bright with lime and the cocteles are lush and briny with a tomatoey kick, and the aguachiles hit with sharp citrus, fresh herbs, and it's a really decent amount of fish. If you're looking for a more traditional hot entree get the Filete al Cabrón: grilled sea bass with cilantro-lime rice, beans, and warm flour tortillas. Simple and so comforting. Fresh seafood can be hard to find in L.A., but Holbox does it like no other. Takes me back to Mexico City every time!

My wife and I went to El Molinito restaurant in Pico Rivera just across the street from Walmart. This our first time trying Colombian cuisine,I have eaten Colombian cuisine before I enjoy the flavors and depth of flavor of the food. We're greeted by the owner of the restaurant she told us we can sit anywhere in the restaurant and we did find a table. She came and hand us the menu then she our drinks order we both order coffee. The restaurant is very nice e cozy little restaurant of full of Colombian adornments that you feel you are in Colombia. We both decided to order the Huevos Pericos it's scramble eggs Colombian style it comes with rice and Arepa with cheese. It's like a Salvadoran Pupusa but Colombian version of the pupusa. The waitress brought our meal it looks so good and delicious and the aroma was overwhelming from the Arepa and the Huevos Pericos or scrambled eggs. I try the scramble eggs they so good incredible flavors in the egg including the other ingredients like the tomatoes and onions and spices they use in the egg they were fluffy and good. The rice was amazing it have good flavor in the rice and fluffy that we enjoy. The Arepa was so good like a pupusa but cheesy that I really like including the cheese they use in Arepa. Overall we enjoy the food at the El Molinito restaurant, we come back again and try different items from their menu.
