I just wanted a quick snack and I hadn't tried them yet. They have a pretty limited menu. Your choices are chicken dinners, two different sandwiches.And empanada. I wanted something small, so I got the empanada which was only $3. It was pretty good. It had chicken and I believe potatoes in it. read more

Tried it for the fun of it after work. The ladies up front are very nice, loved the service. Just a regular fried chicken fast food. The chickens pretty good, so is their spicy chicken sandwich. I'd suggest coming if you want to try it one time. Super sad they don't have Mac and cheese anymore though! read more

Finally had the opportunity to try Pollo Campero after one opened up in my neighborhood. The fried chicken was excellent. It almost has a red golden brown cross to it. But that's just all the flavor. And the flavor is not just in the fried chicken skin, but also in bed into the chicken itself all the way down to the bone. The grilled chicken was also very great tasting and was all well seasoned. Being that today was the opening day. The service was a little bit on the slower side being how busy they were, but I have no doubt that within the next couple of weeks that'll be something that they can improve on. This particular Pollo Campero location is brand new so the building itself is pristine . read more

This place was a lot better than I expected. The chicken nuggets and beans along with the fries were decent. It the really winner was the empanadas. The menu is simple and price fair so not much to complain about. The place was also clean and they got the food out fast while still keeping it hot. I would cold back if I was in the mood for fast empanadas. read more

Let's start off with the chicken. Way too salty ... bread tasted like cardboard. It was dry and hard. Last the rice side was not even a serving. No taste. I would not come back or recommend. I paid about $12.50 for a two piece . No drink. read more

The chicken sandwich was dry as my son's elbows. The fries were cold. What a waste of money. The sandwich needs some sauce or an option of something. You could choke on how dry it was read more

The ambiance is bright Central America colors. Pop music playing and food delivered to your table. The service was quick and friendly with a smile. The food was fresh and very flavorful. The chicken was juicy and tender with fun flavors bursting with every bite. The side macaroni and cheese was a little over cooked but had good flavor. The fried plantain was good, maybe a little under cooked but still not bad. I feel like maybe the come frozen, which makes sense because it's so hard to find good fresh ones. It came with two corn tortillas that were good. Over all the meal feed me and my husband and was just a tad over $20. For the price I feel like the flavor and friendliness is worth the money. Come check it out and ask for juana she was just so friendly. read more

We went tried out the new restaurant Pollo Campero Guatemala food. Corner of Ming and Wible it was so good love the spices they use on their food. Delicious!! Had a drink with Peaches and nectarine homemade tortillas def would have it again! read more

First visit and last visit. Forgot my sauce. I opened bottle of hotsauce and bottle bottom popped off and spilled all over table my clothes and shoes and floor. So no apologies. Went to restroom that was out of paper towels. Cleaned myself up as much as I could. Got back to table with cold food. They just cleaned floor and said nothing else. Any other place would have comped my food or else brought me hot food. Any other time I would have cussed out everyone at the counter. My coworker talked me down. Will not be going back to a place that doesn't gaf about their customer's. I didn't even eat all my food. Too much for nothing good. read more

Pollo Campero - Receipt - Chicken Shop Near Me - Bakersfield, California

First time here... Honestly, I wasn't a fan. It was kind of pricey and my chicken was a bit dry... I feel the price for the meal was higher than most other places in town. Not sure if I will return. I would've taken it back but I was on the road and went through the drive-through and was already on the freeway. read more

The food is delicious and they have excellent service. I didn't have to wait long for my food!

Nope, and it's quite a shame as well. Great location, highly visible, brand new everything and all that was needed was a decent product. Unfortunately, Pollo Campero failed to deliver even as much as a semi-passable offering. The parking situation is tenuous as it is cramped and there are quite a few cars sharing the space with Texas Roadhouse. Parking on the next lot over by Dave and Busters is better, but good luck playing Frogger as you cross the intersection. I will say that the staff seem very happy and all have big smiles and don't look over stressed during this opening month. Now the food situation is the main let down. Pricing is fair, but after receiving the product, it seemed less so. I got the 3 piece meal with the white meat upgrade along with the Mac n cheese and fries. The chicken was dry and the spices were overly citrusy. The Mac n cheese was overcooked and pretty bad. The fries were cold. We asked for fresh fries but it never came to the table. Overall, I give it a 2 star since they just opened. But as they say, you only get one chance to make a first impression. read more

Took a bite out of the empanada. An came away with a surprise. Bone fragment. Careful what you order there. You should not have to check food before you eat. read more

Pollo Campero - Pollo asado - Chicken Shop Near Me - Bakersfield, California

My wife and I tried the 2 piece combo. With 1/2 second meal. I paid $15.46 or close to that. I had fries as my side. My wife had rice. The fries were skinny fries and cool not hot. They were just a tad hotter than cold. The chicken was crispy but the seasoning had either Cumin or Curry and it overwhelmed my taste buds. I only ate the drumstick and tossed my fries with my dogs. My wife was not impressed. Her rice was cold and she also didn't like the seasoning on the breading of the chicken. I'm glad we used a coupon we will not be back. read more

Pollo Campero - Dark fried chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Terrible. Never going again. They forgot my chicken sandwiches. Fries are cold and soggy. Didn't go inside. So no ambiance. But there was barbecue or some sauce all over the outside wall next to the drive thru. Service was terrible obviously, the people working there do not know how to complete and order. Will never see another dollar from me. read more

Chicken is delicious! The grilled chicken was cooked perfectly, very juice I loved it combined with their house sauce. The flan is very creamy great dessert. Staff was friendly, service was fast read more

Was hesitant to try because of some of the reviews, but didn't want to cook dinner so hit their drive thru. We had the slow roasted chicken, plantains, yucca fries, and an empanada. Everything was really good. The chicken was flavorful, lemony, and cooked well. Plantains are not served many places, and these were delicious. The dipping sauce for the yucca fries was really tasty. All in all, a great spot to grab dinner with a different flair. Will be back! read more

First time trying pollo campero. Cashier was very nice and helpful, food was very delicious and tasty. Will be coming more often!

The chicken was delightful but the side I got (beans) just disappointed me so much the bread they gave well it's fine. The workers actually walked the food to you which is actually surprising since this place is a fast food joint. The place was very clean but the music playing was just horrible. read more

No drinks included with combos? Chicken sandwich was OK, but could tell there was nothing more that $16/hr care taken in making it. They also got our order wrong, didn't bother to include any utensils or napkins. So disappointed in this place, and I had heard good things. A definite lunch lesson learned with Pollo Campero. read more

They have terrible service. I ordered my food and waited for 30 minutes. I ordered the chicken half fried and broiled. However, 20 minutes later, a worker informed me that they had only three pieces broiled and that all the others would be fried. I said is okay, we are hungry. Another person was in front of me. Then comes another family. They received their food immediately even though we were in front. We have to wait another 25 minutes for our chicken. I asked for my refund and I have to wait 15 more minutes for the transaction to be done. I lost an hour for nothing. My recommendation follows the number and remember you get paid by your. As a customer, I just lost my time and you lost a customer. Tienen un servicio pésimo. Pedí mi comida y esperé 30 minutos. Pedí el pollo mitad frito y mitad asado. Sin embargo, 20 minutos después, una empleado me informó que solo tenían tres piezas asadas y que todas las demás serían fritas. Le dije que estaba bien, teníamos hambre. Otra persona estaba adelante de mí. Luego vino otra familia. Ellos recibieron su comida de inmediato a pesar de que estábamos adelante de ellos. Me dijeron que tenía que esperar otros 25 minutos por el pollo.porque no había. Pedí mi reembolso y tuve que esperar 15 minutos más para que hicieran la transacción. Perdí una hora por nada. Mi recomendación es que no pongan numero en el recibo. Cuando no lo usan. O si lo ponen que lo usen. Tengo que darles de rate una estrella . Pero ustedes reciben 0. read more

The prices were CRAZY! The chicken was ok nothing special (had better at gas station) the cold slaw was terrible the Mac and cheese was cold and mushy. $52 bucks for a family meal with basically terrible food?? Good luck in Bakersfield! I'm sure they will be busy until people find out about the price and quality. read more

Pollo Campero - Chicken Shop Near Me - Bakersfield, California

First coming here for lunch today. It got busy when I went. The service is okay. The food is okay too. The fried chicken is good but the skin is little bit salty. The grilled chicken is okay. I have to send it back to cook it again because it was undercooked when I cut it with my knife. The macaroni cheese is so good and cheesy. Reminds me of when I was a kid in elementary school. The sweet plantains is good too. So good with cream cheese in my opinion. The beans is good too. The empanadas is really good. Nice amount filling to the crust.nThey should provide spoons as utensil if we want to scoop up the sides. Just saying. Overall, it was good. I should try their nuggets and salad. read more

They need new management the guy was so rude the workers were so kind and pleasing but that manager was just ridiculously rude. Confused on how he's even managed. read more

I saw the low reviews and was skeptical about ordering but I did anyway on uber eats for pick up and I am so glad I did. I got the spicy chicken sandwich which was really good. Also tried the grilled chicken which was juicy, flavorful, and overall delicious. The fried chicken is crunchy and flavorful, no complaints (and I rarely enjoy bone in chicken unless I make it myself). The sides I tried (yuka fries, Mac and cheese, and plantains) were good - not amazing but not bad. The empanadas are also really good, the filling was delicious but it could've been crispier. It all so good I had to go back not even a week later. read more

I tried this place for the first time. I had two pieces of the dark meat fried and two pieces of the dark meat grilled. The sides I had were French fries and macaroni and cheese. To be honest both types of chicken lacked flavor. The macaroni and cheese was all right but the french fries were inedible. read more

This spot is finally open and we couldn't be happier about it. Literally some of the best chicken and sides are just as delicious! Always fast, friendly service. Can't wait to frequent here often. read more
