    small front area of restaurant, where you will wait for your order if you're taking out during busy hours.
    Herb D.

    So here's the deal on this place....don't consider this a fast food chicken joint, because its not that, far from it. If you're expecting to pop in here like you do at a KFC or Popeyes, and race out with your bag of food a few seconds later, you are going to be disappointed, so just get over that fact immediately, because that is one of the main gripes I see from other reviewers. NOT FAST FOOD, got it? Good. Ok, so the day I decided to go, the line was almost to the door. I was with my kids, who were hungry, and we thought about dining in, but there was just no way. The place was jammed. I thought if I saw a table open up, my kids could grab it, but they are timid that way. Anyhow, I stayed in line and we decided we'd just order the food to go. So getting to the cashier to place the order took about 10 minutes, no big deal to me, I wasn't in a rush. The one thing I liked, is if you are lucky enough to get a table and want to eat in, is the presentation of the food. They don't put it on a cardboard box and dump it on your table. The meal is actually presented very nice ON ACTUAL plates, like a regular meal you'd have at home. This is why I don't consider it fast food, and if I was dining in, would be a bit more patient with my food coming out, because I know its going to be hot & fresh. On this particular day, there were hoards of people in the front area of the restuarant waiting on their take out order. After placing our order for the food, we joined that hoard, and waited as well. We waited, and waited. Many people kept going up and asking what's going on with their order. They were asked to be patient. Some people got fed up and left, others just waited. We waited. I will say, it took about 25-30 minutes to get our food. We didn't order anything special, a chicken sandwich, a chicken bowl, and a four piece, with yucca fries and regular fries as well. While we waited, I managed to drink a cupful of the Horchata, which I thought tasted very nice. I was able to fully refill my cup before I left. Once our food came out, we left and went home to eat. The only disappoint to me was that instead of them giving me Yucca fries, they gave me an additional order of regular fries. However, the chicken was out of this world. It was delicious, hot, and tasted fresh. My son raved about his chicken sandwich, and the "bowl" they put together for my daughter seemed like an endless amount of food. I was happy with this experience. So a couple of things to recap. We went on Saturday during lunch. This was probably a bad idea as all of Central Islip had the same idea....yeah, it was crowded and yeah, it took a long time to get our food. So what?? My point is that if you're coming here, understand that this is NOT a KFC or Popeyes. They are going to take their time with your order, but within that time, they will be ensuring that your food is hot & fresh and consistent with their mission of delivering quality food. I will be back, but perhaps during a slower time period, so I can sit down, and enjoy my chicken on an actual dinner plate, with actual utensils, and savor that wonderful Guatemalan style chicken!!

    Fried dark meat.

    Last week, my dad was craving some fried chicken. He has always mentioned about Pollo Campero, a Guatemalan version of KFC that is widely popular among Central Americans. As soon as we entered the fast food joint, the aroma of chicken being cooked hit our noses... don't get me wrong; it's a very delicious smell. Anyway, we took our order to go. We purchased six fried and six rotisserie chicken pieces ,with two side orders of fries. When we got home, it was showtime... right? All I can say, is that it was disappointing what I saw, as we opened the boxes: very dark-colored pieces of chicken that were looking, very unappetizing at all! The rotisserie chicken was way too peppery for my taste! I really had high expectations, but that's my opinion based on my experience.

    I heard pollo campero chicken tastes better than pollo tropical. So I had to try it! I was parking the car while my brother in law went in with his girls and said he ordered chicken for 4 people. The girl at the register gave him 20 piece with 4 small sides, 3 drinks 2 horchatas for $62. The chicken was good, the salad was good but the order we got wasn't worth $60. We each had 1 piece of chicken and still had too much left over. The woman at the register has this resting btch face like she's annoyed with everyone. And that horchata is watered down and isn't very sweet.

    Polo Columbia Road then take Latin American chicken

    How could any rate this place less than five stars? The staff is so accommodating. And the food is superior to other locations!

    Past by during a road trip. The food surprised me. Chickens are so tasty. Much better than regular American fried chicken.

    After a long day I stopped at the Pollo Campero in Huntington but their machine was broken and they did not have any grilled chicken.
