This restaurant we found in Quito, Equator. Now they are in Tampa. The fried chicken and rotisserie chicken is what you need to try. I like the server and manager are mainly Latin American which is very up to service and delivery the food to customers. The fried chicken has good marinated coating. The marinated flavor into the meat which makes it savory. The rotisserie chicken is a bit sour but they are South American flavor. The sides are good. But I like their drink choices. It has horchata, peach mango, and Jamaican hibiscus. Those are very good drink. I recommend the combo if you going there. Price is reasonable. read more

So happy I tried Pollo Campero! Will definitely be returning for a full meal and with my boyfriend. To try it out I ordered 2 pieces of fried chicken, both priced at 3.50. The breast was huuuge and both pieces were very crisp and juicy. Seasoned perfectly. 10/10 Ordering was difficult since this was my first time, and I was drive-they. I didn't see a screen option for individual pieces of chicken or sides. The employee was helpful though. Also wasn't sure if the chicken was going to be served with any sauces on the side or packets but was surprised to see ketchup. Would potentially ask next time what sauces they have. read more

Pollo Campero - Drink choices other than carbonated beverages - Chicken Shop Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Their chicken recipes are different than the American fried chicken or Pollo tropical's and I like the taste of them. For fried chicken, the coating was crispy, but not too salty and the seasoning soak deep into the meat. So they don't tasted boring. The grill chicken version also got good flavor. For the side dish, I like yuca fries better than rice. I love their specialty drink. They were all so delicious. The peach mango, the red hibiscus and the Horchata, you cannot find them at any other fried chicken places. A group of hard-working ladies operated this place. They were on top of serving customers. This place got comfortable sitting with TV as well as drive through. Tasty and unique food and drinks, I will be a repeated customer. read more

I do not recommend. Fry and broil chicken pre cook for long time. Semi cook some pieces and not heat enough because they already cook long time before we place the order. Go to another place to eat chicken. read more

Pros: Crispy, well seasoned fried chicken that's fresh. The fact that they have an individual meal under $10 is pretty remarkable in this day and age. Open Sundays and till 10 pm (7/week) In addition to Pepsi sodas, they have Mango/Hibiscus/Horchata drinks that are the same price as the fountain drinks. Mango was solid,but my favorite was the Horchata. It has a very strong cinnamon flavor that's pleasing. Pretty cool! Cons: The dining area was slightly messy. While the chicken was good, it's not radically different in taste from standard American fried chicken like Popeye/KFC. That can either be good or bad depending on your point of view. I was expecting something a bit different since this chain originated in Guatemala apparently. They have beans,rice and Sweet plantains for sides but I still feel it leans more towards US tastes Overall: A pretty good place for fried chicken if not a radical departure from the usual read more

Super tasty! Employees were great and speedy during rush hour :) would go again. I got the nuggets and a chicken sandwich with Yukon fries. The employee gave me a few different recommendations and I tried them out. The one thing I did not like because it was not my cup of tea was the horchata. There was some tangy flavor attached to it? Maybe too much cinnamon I think that over powered my tastebuds but everything else was a 10/10 read more

I love Pollo Campero! And I'm so glad that they're back in Tampa. Campero used to be in Tampa, I recall driving into the Armenia corridor in 2011 to buy their awesome fried chicken when we first moved to Tampa. But sadly, that location closed years ago. Now they are back, and they are as good as ever. Maybe better because now they have a chicken sandwich and chicken nuggets to round out their menu. I got the spicy chicken sandwich and fries. Definitely expect to make a mess with that sandwich as it's saucy. I used a lot of napkins. The chicken was juicy and tender. I wish the pickles were a little more sour and that the bun was toasted, but man, that chicken was awesome. Our food was made to order, so we had to wait a while. They threw in some chocolate chip cookies and flan for the long wait. My son loved the chocolate chip cookies. I thought they were only okay, but good for a fast food restaurant. I'll be back, but not when I'm in a hurry. read more

I need training! Pulling up to the menu board I see 12 piece meal. 29.99. Nope it's actually over 40.00. They asked me what sides. I ordered Beans and Cole slaw. The beans are delicious, but I'm still trying to find the beans. It's more like bean soup. Now for the chicken. I assumed I would get a normal mix of 3 breast 3 thigh 3 wings and 3 drumsticks. Wrong. I received 6 thighs and 6 drumsticks. I guess I need training, or possibly they need it. read more

For a chicken place the flavors are over the top, But the prices are also over the top Too expensive

Definitely one of my favorite spots. The Spicy Chicken sandwich is amazing! I always come here with my colleagues whenever we're craving a great meal. Plus, the staff is super friendly. Highly recommended!! read more

Pollo Campero is one of my favorite places for fried chicken. The Spicy Chicken sandwich is my goto with a Sauce put on it that makes it spicy (I always ask for extra) and a pickle. The sides I get are the regular fries but the yuca fries and plaintains are also good just depending on the freshness. They have typical fountain drinks but also Horchata that is free refills. Very decently priced usually around 8.00 for the sandwich or 12 for the meal. The Bone-In chicken which I've never ordered personally but my friends do is HUGEE so don't let the price scare you. The dining room is clean , staff is attentive. By far my Go-to read more

I want to say I really loved the chicken at Pollo Campero but I think I'm going to reserve that decision until I make a third trip to eat there again. There was a big difference in the preparation of the meals the first time I went and last nights second time meal. My first experience was that the four piece chicken combo which is a split between their fried chicken and their grilled chicken although a bit pricey at $19.00 and the pieces being a bit small more than made up for it with the piping hot freshness of both the fried and the grilled chicken. The place was jumping, we placed our order and were given a number sign to place on our table. It took a few minutes for our orders to come and I remarked to my girl they must be prepping a fresh order of chicken. An employee brought us the chicken and sides and the chicken in each method of preparation was hot, fresh tasting and juicy. The taste of the chicken was delightful and I remarked that between the yummy sides (I chose the coleslaw and the sweet plantains) and the hot, fresh tasting chicken well made up for the price of the meal. Last night I was disappointed. We placed our order and sat at a table and within minutes I meal was served to us. Big difference! The fried and grilled chicken were only warm and tasted like it had been made earlier. The chicken was dry and the citrusy flavor of the grilled chicken didn't shine through. A big disappointment!! Since I'm at a 50/50 in my decision I think I owe it to myself to return to decide my final conclusion. read more

Absolutely do not eat here unless you like throwing away money for bad food, horrible service and lousy customer service. $6 upgrade for mixed chicken is unheard of. This place will be closed soon . Food was undercooked and I hope I don't get food poisoning. read more

FIVE Stars! Now I know why this chain was voted one of the top ten fast food chains in the US! The location on Fowler is staffed by VERY nice people! Attentive, polite and obviously take pride in their restaurant and product! The chicken is absolutely delicious! The yuca fries were perfect. The empanada is delicious. French fries were average but everything else was extraordinary! Fair prices for a quick delicious meal restaurant was impeccably clean!!!!!! Check it out and ENJOY! Felicidades dueños de Pollo Campero! Muy bien hecho. Delicioso!!! read more

Very very disappointing. I was told by a coworker that this was pretty decent chicken. We drove all the way from Riverview to try them out. $67 for a 12pc meal and 2 spicy chicken meals, for cold old chicken and sides was very disappointing. I will never be back. The chicken has potential, but the box we had was old and cold. read more

This is the second time that I traveled all the way from Land O Lakes for the Citrus Grilled Chicken and upon ordering, BOTH times, I was told it would take 18 minutes!!! I drove 10.5 miles for an item that they have on the menu but not available until you order? Unacceptable! The first time I ordered and came back to pick up. Asked for sauce THREE times. Got home, no sauce. No one should have to wait 18 minutes for an item that is on the menu. Take it off the menu FFS! read more

Had lunch there today and was delighted with the Campero salad w/fried chicken on top. The greens and toppings were fresh the chicken was crunchy, and the entire salad tasted great with the ranch dressing. The next time I want to try the balsamic dressing. My only issue was I do not speak Spanish and the person taking orders spoke very little English. It did make the ordering process a little tricky. The restaurant itself was clean and looks very nice. read more

Highly recommend! The fried chicken was the best item. The sides were ehh. The hibiscus drink was on point as well. Overall will be back for sure. read more

Pollo Campero - Fried and Grilled chicken. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Here I am singing the praises of this Polo camperaro when they sent me a $10 code to use because they messed up my chicken order. I tried to place an order using the 1-800 number because the location that I need to go to is not on the app so I called in and ordered. My order came to $9 and change the $10 coupon code covered it but then they asked me for a debit card. Why in the hell do you need my debit card when I don't owe you anything. So I asked to speak to somebody else and they said the same thing we need your debit card information. Tell me why in the hell for. I will never come back to the establishment because why do you need my debit card information when you're not going to run it because I don't owe anything. read more

Horrible comida a muy altos precios, no tegresaremos mas aceste sitio , el mas caro que vende pollo en la zona

This is the first time I've ordered from them, but it certainly won't be the last. I wanted to try both methods of cooking so I ordered a two-piece dark meat fried with campero beans and a two-piece dark meat grilled with fried yuca. They both arrived still piping hot and I think it's some of the juiciest chicken I've ever had. The seasoning has the perfect amount of flavor and heat. I like the seasoning in the beans too and the crispiness of the fried yuca. The fried chicken was a little salty for me, but that's just my taste. Their prices are very reasonable too. Like I said, I'll certainly order from them again. read more

I was very excited this came back to Tampa! Just as good as I remember it. The sides could maybe use a little work but overall great quality. read more

The chicken was good and the price is a little high but ok. Main problem is the sides are not filled to the top of the container, especially the beans. Also, although the menu states the four piece diner is a leg, wing, thigh and breast you can never expect to get these pieces. The staff just throws in four pieces whatever is available. You might get any combination. I have had the four piece diner six times and never got the correct pieces yet. i read more

Yuly hizo un excelente trabajo atendiéndonos. muy buena empleada. Muy amable, nos ayudó en todo momento

Lovely place and lovely staff, chicken are very fresh and tasty. I love how clean everything is and how you can feel welcome. Recommend 10/10. read more

Very tasty and juicy. The empanadas trio are flaky and also very tasty. The employees are very kind and helpful.

I ordered this from DoorDash today. The chicken is super flavorful, juicy, and probably one of the best fried chicken meals I have ever had. I got the two piece dark, as I don't really care for white meat. This meal was definitely worth it and I will definitely be trying their other menu items soon! Give this place a try if you're in the area or see it on DoorDash or UberEats! read more

Took forever to get my food and they forgot my Mac and cheese chicken was spicy and not fresh

Chicken was kinda bad, bland. The sides were mediocre and half the staff was not doing anything, just watching us. Pretty much empty in there, very slow for opening day. We didn't get any napkins and the drinks were honestly not that good. A strawberry agua Fresca would be nice. Made me feel sick afterwards so not so good. read more

La comida rica excelente servicio excelente me encantó comer aquí siempre limpio y excelente servicio

Great fried chicken! Seasoned well and same as you can get in Guatemala. Service was great for being fast food as well. When ordering from Rocio, she was pleasant and helped me get everything right!
