    I've heard about this place since I moved here a few years ago, and I finally made the effort to…read morecome by. What an idiot I was!!! So many years of awesome food missed out on!!! I got a mixed combo and it was great. They apparently cook to order, so it took a few minutes, but it was well worth the wait! Perfectly crispy hot and juicy fried chicken and fried okra, and tasty homemade tasting potato salad. I couldn't pass on the fried apple pie. It was crunchy with cinnamon spiced apples inside. Parking is a pain, but awesome food is worthy a little struggle. Haha. I'll be back. It's close to my office which might prove dangerous in terms of my waistline.

    Ernies Fried Chicken 08-02-24…read more I stopped by to get lunch It's a small place but nice. I used the order window and waited in my car till they called my name. We had; Chicken Fried Steak with Mashed Potatoes and Fries. Tasted like processed Steak that came frozen. But it was good with the gravy and potatoes. Steak Finger Basket with Fries. Same as the Chicken Fried Steak 9 Piece Chicken Tenders. Tender and good. I also got 1/2 Dz Chicken Livers that were battered well and had good flavor. I Ordered the Catfish Only which came with Tarter Sauce and Two Hushpuppies. Good Cornmeal Batter and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. All in all it was OK. Nothing special but still good. I would go back to try their Fried Chicken and Breakfast Tacos! The employee that waited on me was very friendly and nice. Overall it was a pleasant experience

    This was an okay chicken place. The skin had a pretty good crisp to it but I felt like the…read moreseasoning was lacking and just a small tad salty compared to other fast food fried chicken places. The fries were just average but not "in and out" bad. And the dinner roll was just there. Maybe the tortilla would have been a better choice. I did get an extra thigh by accident which was nice. The service was pretty good. The manager came around to check on every table. The place seemed well put together and clean. Though seems kind of short staffed when it gets swamped. I've never been to Killeen before and what they say is true. There's nothing to do but look at gun stores and hobby lobby.

It became a nostalgic staple for me, particularly during my college years when I visited El Salvador. However, I must say that there are notable discrepancies between the Pollo Campero locations in El Salvador and the one I recently visited in Killeen, Texas. When comparing the Killeen location to those in California, I noticed distinct differences in both taste and quality. The pricing at this location is quite reasonable, especially considering that an 8-piece chicken meal can comfortably feed 4 to 5 adults. This meal also comes with two sides, which adds to its value. The drink options are diverse, featuring favorites like horchata, mango, Jamaica, and various Pepsi products. Upon entering, I found the establishment to be clean and tidy, which is always a plus. However, I did encounter an issue in the restrooms, which had a strong smell of weed and a non-functional light fixture glowing with a red light. This aspect stood out as somewhat sketchy and detracted from the overall experience. On a more positive note, the customer service was exceptional. The cashier, named Edward, was extremely helpful and caring, making my visit all the more pleasant. His attentiveness and friendly demeanor truly enhanced my dining experience. In summary, while Pollo Campero continues to evoke fond memories from my childhood, there are areas for improvement at the Killeen location. Nevertheless, the reasonable prices, generous portions, and outstanding customer service are reasons enough to give it a second chance.
