Pollo Campero is a fast food counter service chain restaurant that specializes in fried and roasted…read morechicken meals like Golden Chick does. Recently I dined to here to compare the two. They let you order your meal mixing fried and roasted pieces so I did. I also have tried the campero beans and cole slaw as side dishes. Prices are very reasonable. A 3 piece chicken meal with one side dish with self serve drink and tax runs about $13. Two piece meals are less of course. The chicken here tastes very good. As long as it is hot, the roasted version is seasoned and very juicy. The fried version had a nice seasoned crust and was also juicy inside. I think I liked the fried a little better but would be ok with either. Their sides are even better. My order of campero beans were hot and very flavorful. The cole slaw was cool and creamy with a rich taste. Those two were quality side dishes. This is the only outpost of Pollo Campero that I have visited. It remains to be seen if the other locations are consistent with this one. I have found that Golden Chick disappoints more than it succeeds. As of now, Pollo Campero is my fave of this type of restaurant.

I ordered a two piece flounder dinner and was given one small container of tartar sauce for two large pieces of fish. I understand saving on condiment cost having worked in fast food before for many years but the customer should get at least one tartar sauce per fish with a two-piece dinner. When I complained I was told that they don't make the rules. I hope management will fix this issue promptly. For a first visit it was very unsatisfactory.

We knew we wanted chicken and knew we didn't want to spend a fortune. Also wanted quick. Since we were near the original location being at the airport, went in to map the location and remembered there was one near us. We got there and went through the drive through. It was a long line but they were so fast. The inside closes at dark I believe but we didn't want to go inside anyway. We got chicken drumsticks with rice, wings and shrimp fried rice. Also a side of gravy. We got sweet and sour and soy sauce included. Other sauces are extra. I will get full wings next time but the lemon pepper wings were excellent and cooked to perfection. Needless to say everything was piping hot, hit the spot and we had a whole meal the next day for each of us. We spent 44.00 for 2 meals for 3 adults. Where else but Timmy Chan's.

Parking is a little tricky as the lot can fill up fast for others picking up food. There is a food truck next to the brick and mortar, but not sure what the hours are for the truck. The jerk chicken, rice and peas and french fries were very good. (I could have used a little more spice on the jerk chicken though so hopefully they will make it spicier.) I liked it so much so would love to try their catfish and mac & cheese next time. There are a few tables inside, but didn't look around too long since they gave me my order right away. --- Went a second time, the jerk chicken was tender again and tried the mac and cheese & that was excellent!

We always order from the spicier side of menus, and there's no question when you get your food that they aren't playing around. The chicken is juicy, full of flavor, served on a perfect bun with cole slaw and a couple dill pickle slices. The lightly-battered, seasoned waffle fries are exactly what they should be. The woman who took our order was so nice it almost felt like a hug from your favorite aunt.

I'm a little torn on how to rate this place. Mico's was one of the first hot chicken spots to hit…read moreHouston. I remember the hype this place got as they started out and moved from their original spot to this new spot on Shepard. Now that they have inside seating, I figured it was time to check them out. I was in the area at a local bar with friends, and a few friends ordered Mico's through DoorDash. It looked and smelled so good that I decided I had to have it that night, but at the restaurant. I pulled up to what looks a new building. They share a lot with other businesses but I was able to get a parking spot easily. The restaurant is spacious with lots of seating. They also have bar seating by the register. When I looked around, I noticed alot of people waiting on food. It was a mix of food delivery drivers as well as patrons that had ordered and waiting. There was a customer at the counter going off on the employees and I got to commend the young staff for keeping their cool. That being said, the young staff was friendly and trying their best, but they were drowning and the mood in the place was off. Items were forgotten. People were not getting their food in the order of when they ordered. Four parties ordered after me, with similar items and everyone got their orders before mine. I think I was forgotten and only after one of the staff noticed me waiting did they come and look at my receipt. Time from ordering to receiving my food was close to 40 minutes. This is a hot chicken place that is trying to be somewhat fancy. I was served my food on a nice plated plate. Nice touch, but it felt off for the food being served here. They also give utensils in cloth napkins. No paper towels or napkins in sight. Hot chicken is messy and the cloth napkins was not doing it for me. I ended up up knife and forking my sandwich to keep the messy hands from happening. They also serve their fountain drinks in small cups filled to the brim with us. A few swigs and my drink was almost gone. For a place serving spicy food, a soda fountain with refills or readily available water should be available and out front. Now to the good part. The food was outstanding. I ordered the Chicken Sandwich at their hottest level which also came with a side. I got the waffle fries. The sandwich was voted one of the best dishes in the state by Texas Monthly and I can see why. It was a hefty sandwich with a large chicken breast seasoned to perfection. I always love when their is a little hangover of the chicken outside of the bun. The chicken was crispy but juicy inside. The heat was there but totally bearable with the cooling component of the delicious slaw on top. I usually pick pickles off sandwiches, but the pickles here were good and the acidity added a pleasant touch to the sandwich. The waffle fries were also excellent. They were the battered and seasoned kind which I love. The food most definitely saved the overall experience on my visit here. I will say it is one of the better hot chickens I have had in Houston. Now if they go back to their roots and not try to be fancy and do better on their customer service, I can see this place sticking around for a long time. With my experience, I don't see myself hurrying back anytime soon.

I was also given a time of 3 minutes before my order would be given to the Door Dash Driver. So, there's a 7 minute drive from the restaurant to my house. It's been 35 minutes now, and no delivery. I called the restaurant back, but all they told me was the Driver must have stolen my order and ate it himself. No refund or anything was offered. The crazy, but yet so sad part is that Door Dash had no record of my order or driver. So, there was some stranger who told them he was there to pick a delivery. Really need to start placing the customer names inside the bags, until the driver gets there to pick them up. Anyone can see the customer names on the bags and repeat this theft!
