So while recently hungry in New Hialeah (aka the new developments west of I-75) I noticed that…read morethere was a new Pollo Campero open. I'd heard about this new chicken spot from a few fellow Yelpers, and had the chance to check it out today. The layout is "classic" fast food where you order at the counter and then pick up your food. They have the classic 2, 3 and 4 pieces of chicken as well as a few "healthier" options. Since I was on the way to the gym, I opted for their "Campero Salad". Like a fellow Yelper mentioned, I was pleasantly to find my food served on a real plate and with real metal utensils, not some plastic stuff. Like I used to get at home, my dinner started with a bed of white rice stacked with mixed greens, garbanzo beans, and grape tomatoes plus of course the yummy chicken! I do wish they had a different cheese instead of feta #notafan My dressing was a nicely sweet bbq sauce.

(2/5) -- Great concept, but this visit missed the mark…read more I really wanted to like this Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers location more than I did, because the concept is solid and, generally, Cane's food hits. But this visit? Frustrating from start to finish. First off, the setup is misleading. The inside looked empty, and even the drive-thru appeared manageable--until you actually commit. You have to drive deep into the parking lot just to see how long the line really is, and once you're in, there's no easy way out. So now you're stuck. Not ideal. Then comes the wait. About 10 minutes just to place an order, with aggressive drivers jockeying for position like it's a race. I get it--no one wants to sit in that line--but the flow (or lack of it) makes it worse. For a place with two lanes, the organization just isn't there. Service at the speaker? Rough. I felt rushed the entire time, struggled to hear over the noise, and kept getting hit with "I can't hear you, speak up" in a tone that felt more dismissive than helpful. No upsell, no real engagement--just hurry up and move along. To their credit, the pickup window redeemed things a little. Once I got there, the food was ready, and they even overdelivered on condiments (asked for two ketchups, got four). That part was efficient--but it came after a pretty long wait for only about seven cars ahead of me. Now, the food... This is where things really slipped. * The 4-piece tenders felt noticeably smaller--more like large nuggets than actual tenders * Fries were undercooked and skimpy for the price and I had to ask for ketchup * Sweet tea was mostly ice, barely any drink * Overall portions just didn't match the cost For a brand that usually delivers consistency, this felt off. Like corners were being cut. Final take: Started as a 3-star experience based on the process, but dropped to 2 stars once the food came into play. If I could split it, it'd be a 2.5--but Yelp doesn't do that. This place should be better. The foundation is there. But between the chaotic drive-thru, rushed service, and underwhelming portions, it's just not hitting right now. Hope they tighten things up--because Cane's can be really good when it's done right.

Intriguing and well decorated inside…read more I don't get why people go crazy over their sauce. It's a combo of Maui, ketchup and a hint of BBQ sauce. I had the chicken sandwich which is really the chicken fingers on a bun with sauce and a slide of lettuce. It was decent. Not out of this world. For the caloric intake and the level of sodium in the food.... I won't be coming back for a while. It's been 3 days and I'll still bloated - LOL

Rating: 3:0 03/2025…read more RESTAURANT: Its a good size restaurant with a drive-through and it's own parking. We visited after 8pm and it was a bit untidy inside. Drink bar and some tables has yet to be wiped down. The restroom were unisex and were not too bad. SERVICE: Staff were very polite. They answered my questions as it was my first time and gave me a courtesy for something they don't have. FOOD: I thought that this was another version of Pollo Tropical. Well, stand corrected. And although they serve a grilled option, this is a legit fried-chicken place. For drinks, they also offer fancy juices and horchata...pretty cool. Oh them chicken were lightly breaded and crunchy and well seasoned. The three piece meal comes with one side and a bread or tortilla. The fries were not bad but the coleslaw was delightful and crunchy. Overall, I am glad we ventured out to calle 8 And tried this place. That chicken flavor is memorable.
