Pollo Campero 8pc Meal Last week I was so busy with groceries that I didn't have time to cook at home. I was thinking of getting something quick for dinner, checked a bunch of restaurants, but most were close to closing so I didn't order. Finally found Pollo Campero and decided to just grab it and eat at home. By the time I got home, put the groceries away, and sat down to eat, it was almost an hour and a half later,so the chicken had lost its crispy bite. But still, the chicken was really tasty and nicely spicy. The 8pc meal was the perfect size for the four of us (including Jon and Boozo). We even saved 2 pieces for the next day read more

Plenty of chicken found here! Whether you like it fried or rotisserie style, they have it. Plentiful AND delicious, the chicken is moist, flavorful and popular with the locals. Nice side options, too. Almost every time I visit, usually on weekends, it is overcrowded with people waiting for a table or waiting for their food to go. It looks like a table is easier to get than the delivery option, which is very popular. If they had someone consistently on the floor, they could get a faster turnaround with the tables. Everyone behind the bar is working diligently, but whoever is doing the scheduling seems to skip one or two staff people when it's filled with high occupancy. read more

This fast food restaurant, that specializes in Guatemalan/Latin Fried Chicken, is located in a strip mall. With that being said, there is tons of free parking available. My interaction with the staff was limited, but they seemed nice enough. They have a decent sized dining area to sit and eat. Or you can order take out or delivery. The dining area could have used a little cleaning, but it was not filthy. I ordered the 3 piece combo meal with a side of Yuca fries. I also go a side of their sweet plantains. It took less than 5 minutes for them to prepare my meal. Total disclosure, I am not a Yuka fry fan. These were ok. The chicken was not your typical fried chicken. The batter is a bit different. Was it the best chicken that I have had? No, but it was good and I still liked it. The plantains were pretty good. I really enjoyed them as well. My meal there was decent. The chicken had a unique taste. Definitely worth trying. read more

The person who took our order was sweet and when I asked about a certain deal I saw online she matched what they had online. The food was really good, I haven't had pollo campero since I was a kid, and it's just as good as I remember. The horchata was really good too. I really like the texture of their yuca. The restaurant and bathroom were very clean. read more

I was shopping in the area and decided to stop in as I had this marked down to try. Quite a range of items and what's nice is that with the 4-piece combo you can split between the grilled and fried chicken. I did the 4-piece combo: fried thigh, fried breast, grilled thigh, grilled breast, side of beans, and side of fried yucca (plus tortillas.) I was also tempted to get one of the fried chicken sandwiches. Even with a drive home of about 10-15 minutes, everything held up well. Fried chicken, sandwich, and yucca wer still pretty crispy. Flavors were really good: fried chicken was seasoned, but not too salty and not remotely oily/greasy, grilled chicken had a nice variety of kind of an Gerber seasoning, beans were great, and the sandwich was perfect (I used the orangish sauce to dip it in. Not sure what it is, but it worked with everything.) Small negatives in that the tortillas were just two, basic corn tortillas in a plastic bag that was slightly warmed. They kind of crumbled/cracked and I'm guessing they were just like a standard grocery store tortilla. And not totally a negative, but I'd recommend ordering ahead. We did a walk-in and I'd say it took about 20 minutes or so to get the order. There were a few people ahead of us. Upside is things seemed pretty fresh. read more

This place was so clean I actually fainted because the waiter came over and called me a gringo and then started sucking on my grin-toes the food has dis special white sauce it was so good‍ I went to the stalls and found a little hole where someone had a weird looking yuca fry it kinda tasted funny but the white sauce def made it better would come again (literally)This review is looking pretty epic! Nice! read more

la experiencia en este campero es muy buena! la comida siempre esta caliente y el personal es amable.

Chicken was pretty good! Juicy just how i like it! Workers were nice to me and family i would recommend this place for a family dinner.

Well the food here wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I got a mixed box of chicken (grilled and fried). I didn't have a great experience with the grilled , but I can see why some might like it. The fried chicken was decent, was good with hot sauce. The sides were average, I had the beans and fries. When it comes to the chicken, they do both grilled and fried chicken okay but neither really well. Worth trying, but it's just not for me. read more

Muy rico el pollo y el sabor me encanto demasiado lo recomiendo muchísimo claro q regreso a comer acá

You could improve the cleanliness of this restaurant. I have been here for 30 some minutes and there have been 4 tables that need cleaning. It's not pleasant to eat inside the restaurant and seeing that no one cares to keep it clean. The floor is dirty and slippery in some areas and that is dangerous. read more

Nice fried chicken! Very moist inside and tasty. Yucca fries also a pleasant surprise-perfectly cooked. Plantains also were cooked to perfection. No issues with cleanliness. The restaurant and bathrooms were both great. Will definitely be back. Oh and no complaints with the service. read more

I don't know why people are leaving bad reviews..... THIS PLACE WAS GOOD AS HECK it's always Yelp Karen's putting down good business because they don't get special treatment from a minimum wage employee Don't listen to any bad reviews and for whatever you want ........just tell them fresh please and it will come out super good anytime My food was all hot and fresh I spent like 63$ for two big people (we ate a lot) 2 all white half chicken orders Extra rice extra yuca like 30 sauces haha F THE YELP KARENS THIS PLACE IS GAS read more

0 stars Worst place ever I had a $50 bill that I put on the table underneath my phone by the cashier and I was the only one in the restaurant when i turned around it was gone and I had asked about the cashier said she doesn't anything about it when I asked the other girl in the back she said she saw the money but doesn't know what happened to it I told her to look at the camera and told me I had to reach out the manager the next day. when I did he ignored my phone calls and messages and never returned my phone calls. Even when I ordered food that day they messed my order and did not do anything to correct my order never will I ever come back read more

As a lover of chicken I thought: I need to start eating more Peruvian chicken. As far is Pollo Comprero, it's pretty standard. I wouldn't go out of my way to Springfield but I would eat it if I was in the area. I ordered the grilled chicken with a side of Comprero beans. My favorite thing was the beans. They were well seasoned with a hint of meatiness. read more

Pollo Campero Springfield - Grilled chicken with campero beans - Chicken Shop Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

The beans were spoiled, the. slaw was brown and the chicken was presented in a small white container. the tables were clear of items butfinger prints and stains were on most of the tables. The hotsauce bottles tops were missing, looked very sloppy. This is not what paying customers should experience. Pollo Campero ---Not a good representation read more

I generally like this franchise, but this particular location is horrible. Staff is rude and extremely slow. Even with an empty restaurant this extremely slow. read more

I was visiting VA for my husbands job and he suggested this yummy place. I had the half a chicken special with black beans and street corn. I didn't care for the street corn but the chicken and black beans were delish and I when in town again I'll be back!! read more

They're not bad. It's just that in that shopping area when compared to all the other options they really do rate that low. If it was somewhere else it probably would rate better but here is suffers by comparison. There are at least two other pollo asado places within a quarter mile and they're both better. The service here is real hit or miss as well. Check out one of the other restaurants in the area. read more

I order 9 count fried nuggets but wasn't until 10 mins later , they told me they no longer had fried. After receiving, I only got 6 which most were dry, there was about 10 yuca fries. Pollo campero is good but this location is not especially when you have employees playing with their hair over the chicken. read more

Their fried chicken is so amazing - just like my mom's! Very reasonable price with all the coupons that are out there. So you can go ahead and ignore the so called "elite" Yelper who complained about their chicken not tasting like rotisserie chicken. Uh maybe that's because it's NOT ROTISSERIE CHICKEN, shrew (probably the basic type who takes an Instagram at Machu Picchu while complaining about global warming even though you just took a C02-blasting jetliner there). read more

Through out the years I've tried Pollo Campero at many different locations just to have a definitive answer of whether I like it or not. The fried chicken has a distinct flavor, but at the same time it is still very plain. I'd much prefer the cajun flavor from Popeyes or even the original recipe from KFC. The fries... the fries are really plain and flavorless. There's nothing wrong with some basic fries; just throw on a bit of salt right? But I'm a tough critic because this is a Spanish chain. Where is the Latin flavor!? They can do so much more than what they are offering. I also tried their empanadas and they tasted like an old taquito from 7-11. Seriously, this area is filled with no-name establishments that serve excellent empanadas. The product they're serving definitely does not match the price. So there you have it. Pollo Campero offers some mediocre fried chicken and nothing else to really reel you in. read more

Pollo Campero Springfield - Chicken Shop Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

I rounded up from a strong 3.5 stars. I love all kinds of food (almost), but Latin food has a special place in my stomach :) Despite their many locations, this was my first time trying Pollo Campero. The place is tiny, but clean and has a good number of tables so I would assume they could fit all of the people during the lunch hour rush. The staff was friendly. I had grilled chicken, plantains, horchata (cinnamon and nuts drink) to drink and cuatro leches for dessert. The chicken was tasty, but not out of this world. People next to me were having friend chicken and it looked very tasty (think BonChon). My plantains were soft and cooked to perfection. Absolutely loved my horchata - it was delicious (would love to have one right now). About cuatro leches - not sure why it's cuatro and not tres - but who cares? That dessert hit the spot from one bite! I couldn't finish it since the caramel topping is very rich, but that's even better for me because the leftover is about to hit the spot now :) Bottom line, I wouldn't celebrate a special event here but I would definitely have it for lunch if I worked in the area. read more

I've been a huge fan of Pollo Campero...I usually frequent the Manassas Location partially because they have the salsa bar but since most of the pollo campero locations are now trying to be more upscale. They have scrapped the salsa bar and now offer bottled sauces. I was so excited to see Pollo Campero was open in Springfield however... Upon arrival it seemed dead now this can be a good/bad sign. In my case it was a bad sign when I walked in one of the workers had to shout to the cashier that there was people. The bf decide on 8 pieces which came with 2 sides. We decided on the Campero beans and the yuca fries. I also decide to try the 3 empanadas(guava bbq,verde pollo and buffalo ) with side of sweet plantains. We decide to eat there when our food arrived we ended up with 8 pieces of fried chicken instead of half grilled and half fried . Then had to wait until someone came out for us to address the mistake we were then told it would be another 15 mins. No thanks we already to wait for our empanadas and the Sweet plantains. Our yuca fries were cold and campero beans were lukewarm to the point that it looked like it came out of the bottom of cooking vessel I'm used to my Campero beans being a bit soupier to the point I have to have a spoon to eat them. The empanadas and plaintains were probably the hottest items we received and that because they were fresh out. Overall experience at this location was so poor. I'm just glad majority of our food was decent enough to stomach. read more

Never been to a Pollo Campero restaurant before so was excited to see another peruvian chicken place in the Springfield area. I originally plan to place a delivery order since Yelp said they can do it. I called and the person on the phone had to check with someone whether they delivered. When she finally came back on the phone, she had a difficult time hearing me even as I spelled out my address. To prevent further confusion and the risk of them delivering to the wrong house, I got my butt up and picked up the food instead. As you can tell from the pictures, the chicken is much smaller than most places. I can't really knock them for that since it's supposedly 100% hormone-free. I ordered the citrus peruvian grilled chicken and it was slightly bland. I'm surprised that they didn't provide additional sauces to dip the chicken in. I'm used to Nando's or other places that provide the yellow and spicy green sauce. For our sides, I ordered yucca fries and their campero rice. The chicken tasted much better after some lime and dipping into the yucca fries sauce, The yucca fries was just the right texture and crunch while the rice was mediocre. read more

This is ridiculous. I just received their delivery order without my 12 pieces of chicken and they charged me for everything. I have called the store already 6 times and they don't pick up the phone. Don't order from this place! read more

The chicken was VERY good! We got the citrus grilled and I would've taken a picture but it got eaten up too quickly. That zest of lime really blows out your taste buds in a good way. I had never been here before and were brought here by friends and I can't believe I had missed out on this all my life. And oh my goodness don't get me started on that Apple soda!! That stuff is bomb - I got two large refills (probably not the best idea before a long road trip) but let me tell you something - it was worth it! It may sound strange but it's no stranger than sparkling apple cider!! We got plantains and the street corn salad as sides (because you gotta try to stay somewhat healthy, right??) and they were amazing as well. The salad paired really well with the chicken and mmm plantains...need I say more? Would definitely recommend this place! read more

This place sucks. Chicken wasn't juicy and I got my order delivered. They didn't send what I ordered.. so i wasted my money. Ordered the corn and never got it and also said no gravy on the potatoes. You would think they would check the order before they go and have someone deliver it to somebody house..... Then someone reached out to me saying that they would contact me to "fix" the issue and they never did... that is rediculous. I want my money back! read more

My experience was so so. Not awful, but not something I'd like to return and try again. I was looking for the typical rotisserie Peruvian chicken you find throughout Northern VA. I'm not a fan of fried foods, so can't say I can comment on the fried chicken. We got the grilled chicken with two sides. The portion was a bit smaller than what I'm accustomed to- for two people definitely not enough to share. The decor is nice: bright posters, nice menus and the tables were clean. This isn't exactly typical Peruvian chicken, more for the folks not accustomed to spices and flavor. I found the food to be a bit bland. Seems like more money spent on marketing and decorating than the actual food. I haven't been to other locations to compare, but don't think I will. Rather go to other hole in wall places that give you larger portions and tastier options. Meh experience overall. read more

Pretty good chicken, most incompetent and rude staff. Cynthia the manger did not know how to do simple math in her head. Tried to make a big order over the phone and was told one price and confirmed it with the staff and manager but when we went to pick it up they acted like we were crazy that they never agreed on that price and over charged us. I can find good chicken and better service elsewhere. read more

A friend introduced me to this place and it is my favorite place for chicken! The grilled chicken is flavorful and the meat just melts right off the bone. Also, they have lots of coupons so you get to get free food here and there. Be sure to check in before you order because sometimes they have Buy One Get One free read more

This spot is really good. I usually good to another one but stopped due to their inability to have the food ready on time. But this place had my our order ready when they said. read more

I didnt think you could mess up roasted chicken but this place found a way to do so. Their "yuca" is just oversized airy frenchfries, the chicken was dry AF, and the staff here were some bonafide dickholes. Take your money to any other of the mom&pops chicken places in the area or Guapos. NEXT read more

Won't be back. Way overpriced for fast food chicken when there are a dozen other Latin chicken joints within a mile of here that charge less and provide much better quality food and service. It's very easy to spend over $20 here for two people...for fast food that is substandard in quality compared to the competition. Heck, there's good restaurants close by with wait staff that understand customer service that don't charge much more. The chicken is heavily breaded...mostly bread. The sides are bland and boring. Do yourself a favor and keep on driving. Won't be back...ever. read more

The food is very good, but my goodness, this place is dirty. The bathrooms are always stopped up with brown water and toilet paper and there's constantly trash on the floor. read more
