I've been wanting to try this chain for a while. The best way I can describe it is it taste like a deep fried spicy Pollo Loco chicken with KFC type skin. The seasoning and spices were all throughout the chicken. I got the three-piece meal and the rice and beans were tasty. Beans had a kick to them. The menu seems limited, but I wasn't overwhelmed with options of combinations. Staff was very nice and helpful. The location was clean. The only thing keeping this from being a five star is, I felt like the price was a little high for what I received. But the quality of the food was very good. For being a fast casual chicken restaurant it's definitely worth a try. I will return. read more

Decided to give them a second try since my first time was a fail, but I decided to try the Fontana location instead of the Riverside location. Went through the DT and received great service. My order: 3 pc. Legs and thighs special (fried) for only $5.99. 1 pc. Empanada, and 1 order of mini churros.. Baybee!! The chicken was fried well, crispy, and so flavorful. The meat inside was equally flavorful and also moist. No dry chicken here. Deliciousness Score: 10/10 Empanada was just ok. It wasn't crispy. The outer shell was soft and they don't have any special dipping sauce for it. Only bbq, buffalo, ranch, ketchup, and cholula hot sauce. Deliciousness Score: 6/10 Mini churros were warm, crispy on the outside, soft inside. Tasted freshly cooked. They were even better than Disneyland. Iykyk Deliciousness Score: 10/10 read more

We ordered here to bring home food to the house. We had a large order and had some confusion over the 12 piece family meal about type of chicken but the cashier double checked our order at the window. Everything was right. After a few minutes of waiting, our chicken was delivered to our car. Food was good and I appreciated the plantains and yuca fries. read more

Always great service and delicious food here. The employees make me feel welcome and it makes me always want to come back. Overall great vibes and service :) read more

The roasted chicken is delicious, but the consistently poor service makes me not want to return. I've come here three times within 2 weeks, and every time there has been a 45-minute wait because no roasted chicken was ready. The first two times, I didn't want to wait, so I left. On my third visit, I placed a pickup order 30 minutes in advance, but when I arrived, it still wasn't ready. That's money directly out of the company's pocket. Imagine turning away even 10 customers for the same reason and how much lost business that adds up to. This is incredibly frustrating and unacceptable. read more

This was my first time trying this famous fast food chicken spot. I got me some chicken, beans and rice with tortillas. Let's start with the beans, they had a cool flavor to them, reminded me of el pollo loco's beans. I liked them. This rice on the other hand was not good, it has some foreign taste that didn't sit well with me. Not my cup of tea. The tortillas were also pretty dry and bland, I wasn't a fan. The chicken on the other hand was scrumptious, juicy, flavorful and every bite was good. Beans: 7.8 Rice: 5.8 Tortillas: 6.0 Chicken: 8.0 read more

Stop by for a quick bite. On my way back from the car wash decided to try their chicken sandwich. Unfortunately the chicken sandwich is a little too basic for me. I had the combo order which comes with a side order and a drink. $15 I paid. The coleslaw tasted good but the chicken sandwich lacked sauce or maybe mayo. The chicken itself tasted good. It was juicy, but I probably would've liked for the price. I paid for the sandwich a little bit more maybe like tomatoes and lettuce or even onion. read more

Love this location. The location is peaceful and really clean inside. The costumer service was amazing. They bring the food to you which I wasn't expecting and they also bring you utensils and napkins. Everything you need without asking. Over all this place is somewhere where you can enjoy a good meal and get great service. Thank you Pollo Campero 10/10 read more

Tried this place on a whim with the family, getting an 8 piece grilled chicken combo with yuca fries and plaintains to go. Once we home and took our first bites, O.M.G.! The flavors were bursting our of the juicy, perfectly cooked chicken! They included some packets of sauce but we never touched them, the seasonings on the chicken was perfect alone. So glad we found this place. We're planning to go back and try the empanadas next time! read more

First time visiting this location and I wanted to see what the hype was about, especially since this sandwich is often compared to Chick-fil-A. The sandwich definitely stands out the sauce is different and unique, and the chicken was noticeably juicier. The cider fries were a generous portion; since we dined in, they were served on a plate and came with a good amount of fries. Unfortunately, they didn't have regular wings available that day because a machine was down, but they do offer a chicken thigh deal that we'll have to come back and try. Overall, the food was great, very filling, and I'd definitely return to try more items. read more

Disappointing experience. The 40-minute wait for grilled chicken wasn't mentioned, ended up settling for fried chicken which we didn't crave for. The food fell short - dry chicken burgers, oily and soggy fried chicken, and incorrect sides. Beans with sloppy container don't substitute for the tortillas I ordered. There are better options out there for the price. Cashier was pleasant, but the order mistakes and subpar food quality brought it all down. Maybe focus on getting orders right and improving food quality? Update: fried chicken tastes better the following day, after air frying. It was well seasoned, and of course, oil got absorbed and sogginess was reduced. read more

It's been a couple of time thru the drive thru and inside that they've got my orders completely wrong, I had to go back to get what I actually ordered, plus the chicken feels raw sometimes...they need to hire people that is actually aware of what they're doing and serving. read more

Went it and the manager helped me out deciding what I wanted and treated me pretty good. I'm happy with my experience. The workers were also cleaning and mopping which was nice to see they have people that stay productive and hygienic. I'll be back. Foods always great and tasty. read more

My first encounter with Pollo Campero was at its Covina location. Ever since then, I fell in love with their fried chicken. I've been in search for their other locations. When I found out they have a location in Fontana, I had to make my way here so here I am... It's conveniently located in the Sierra Lakes Parkway area close to the 210 Fwy. I went thru drive-thru. There was no other car in front of me at the time. I ordered the 3 piece fried chicken meal with yucca fries plus water. Chicken was very moist on the inside and crispy on the outside. Seasoning was so on point! I don't know what they put in that batter, but it is very delicious! Yucca fries were good, too. Water was refreshing! Staff was okay. Service was very quick. Exterior was very clean and well kept. I would come back here for more amazing fried chicken. This location is the best out of the 3 Pollo Campero locations I've visited so far. Thank you! P.S. If you're curious on the biz name, it's in Spanish. Pollo Campero is "Country or Camper Chicken". read more

Siempre he sido cliente de esta tienda y prenda decepción que me llevo, hice la orden en línea con anticipación de 40 minutos de suponía que me la entregarían a las 7:11 me dijeron que no estaba lista, después pregunté a las 7:40 y dijeron que solo tenían alas y que tenía que esperar 30 minutos más para darme mi orden diciendo que ellos tenían más orden pero yo ya llevaba 1 hora y media esperando entonces le dije que mejor quería cancelar la orden porque era mucho tiempo y me dijeron que tenía que llamar en línea en donde me tuvieron 25 minutos para decirme que el reembolso me lo darían de 3 a 5 días aún yo pagando con débito! Mal servicio en esa locación estaban apurados por cerrar read more

I have yet to try the food. The two times I've wanted to order in person the worker said it was atleast a 45 minute wait. The workers look over worked and understaffed. Mostly every table is dirty with plates and trash. Including the outside tables. It's unfortunate since they haven't been open for long. Management needs to do better. read more

Wanted to try what seems to be a new, popular place. Kinda underwhelmed. Fried chicken was good...not great. Fries were cold. Dinner roll cold. Enjoyed the plantains. Didnt have any napkins available. Very hard to get help at the front order and it seemed a bit pricey for what we got. Maybe give it another chance in 6 months or so after they've worked the kinks out. read more

The food is good don't get me wrong but for the location to always be empty and yet still take like 30 mins to give you 3 pcs of chicken is insane the place is dirty inside the tables are full with trash idk what to say the food is good just management sucks I guess read more

Ordered a 30 piece, chicken nugget and a large fry for myself and my kids. The kids really enjoyed the chicken nuggets and so did I. The french fries seemed unfresh but wasn't a deal breaker. The side sauces all were good and excited to try in this place out again. I knocked down one star due to the 15 minute wait and the fries being unfresh other than that will be back. read more

As always, food was delicious! Wait time was very short, chicken was wonderful (as usual) , and the empanadas taste great! Service with a smile... read more

First time trying this place. I've heard some really good things about this place and since one opened up right by my house I thought, "perfect!". Quite the let down unfortunately. I ordered the 6 piece nugget and a classic chicken sandwich. After paying at the drive through, I was asked to park out front and the food would be out in about 3 minutes. 15 minutes went by so I went in and asked, the cashier said he was just waiting on the chicken sandwich. So I went back to my car and waited. I waited a total of 20 mins before my food finally came out. I wasn't too mad about it and he said he threw in a few extra nuggets for the wait l, so at least that. However, the thing that really gets to me is, if you make the customer wait, DON'T MESS THE ORDER UP! My chicken sandwich came absolutely plain! No sauce and no pickles. Good thing I ordered the nuggets, they at least remembered the sauce for those so my sandwich wasn't COMPLETELY boring, but I heard the pickles were amazing so I was looking forward to that. The good is decent, but not worth a 20 min wait. I'll be back again, but definitely not to this location. Shame... maybe once I hear they get it together. read more

Stopped by today and the chicken is freshly cooked and juicy. Happy to see the dining area nice and clean, staff walks around and ready to assist us upon any request. They have a great selection of aguas( the Jamaica and horchata are the best!). I'm very pleased with the service and suggestions from the team(Harmony at the register was of great help). Thank you, see you soon! read more

Favorite fried chicken place. The spices are good and sides are uniquely Latin American.

I want to comment on the service at the Fontana location. The customer service at this location was the ABSOLUTE BEST, from the time I entered until I left, polite, professional, clean inside and out. The food was great! Thank you read more

OK, this is my second time at this location and I've driven away both times every time I come it seems like they never have what I order. I order an eight piece of chicken mixed family meal and they're offering me legs and thighs. come on guys keep everything keep everything ready. read more

So I have been to this location 4 times as of today and only once did they have grilled chicken. The one time I have had this chicken it was good and so was the campero beans. But unfortunately it has not been worth my time to come here and then not be able to get the chicken I wanted. I understand from time to time things run out but 3 out of the 4 times but this seems to be the normal experience here. Hopefully after they have been open for a while they will get the kitchen right. read more

I highly anticipated the opening of this place since there isn't very much fast food restaurants to chose from in this part of the woods. Of course, I had to go on opening day despite the long lines. I regret to say that I was disappointed with my experience. I ordered the 8 piece chicken 1/2 grilled and 1/2 fried with a side of macaroni and cheese as well as sweet plantains. I also got a three piece chicken nugget meal with fries and a mango drink. The kids meal was served cold and the fries were not warm at all. You would think the food would be fresh since it's the first day and the lines were long. The fried chicken was mediocre. The grilled chicken had a funky smell. We have had polio campero in the South Bay before and this is nothing like I remember it. I don't think I'll be back anytime soon. Just wasn't impressed at all. I'll stick to El Pollo Loco down the street. read more

Overall a very disappointing meal. I feel like it could've been better, so what better way to rate it per Yelp's two star overview "could've been better" My excitement remained throughout the build process, up to when they opened! I've lived down the street since 2016 and have slowly seen the development of buildings and businesses. And when it comes to food, its a much needed addition in Fontana. As Fontana is flooded with your typical "truck stop" food scene. It is needed, meaning true diversity of food - and not just Mc Donalds, Jack in the box, etc. So a new chicken spot in the area? That is a bonus for the community. Polo campero is heavily populated in Los Angeles - and usually rewarding! Over the years, they've drastically changed their menu, and I believe with best efforts and intentions to cater to a larger audience, though I feel by doing so, they lost their core strength. I remember seeing them growing up in just about every Curacao haha. Now they're more than just fried chicken, they have grilled chicken, sandwiches, dessert, salads, etc. Their Chicken today wasn't bad - crispy, but it was dry too. Flavor wise, unique, I feel like that has changed over the years too! Their bread is beyond sad, it taste like cafeteria bread, super dry, and most certainly not cooked onsite. Their fries were decent, the macaroni was decent, and their beans were meh. The plantains weren't bad. Overall, for the price you're paying today and the quality/taste, it's mediocre and leaves you heavily questioning why you paid so much or why you'd ever return here versus going to a church chicken as an example. It is my hope that as time goes on, they refine their cooking skills, their new staff develops the needed talent and that customers can feel like they're getting good value in exchange for the amount being charged. I've left some photos, along with the menu which will cover the current menu items and pricing. read more

I've been waiting for Pollo Campero to open and I finally got to try it The food is really salty, from the chicken to the side dishes. The chicken is really juicy and flavorful though The prices are steep for fast food. A 3 piece plate and a drink costs nearly $17 read more

I ate at this location this past week and had the worst experience. To start, the tables were dirty with food particles. There were dirty napkins and fries on the floor. I had to ask the store employee, possibly a manager, to wipe down the table. I went back to ask for a cup lid and was asked why I wanted a lid. POOR / STREET TYPE customer service. For being off of West Lake I expected more class. NOT THE CASE!!! read more

The spicy chicken sandwich was disgusting. The chicken texture was really bad and as if I got a tendon. The buns were old and the yuca fries had no flavor. I was looking forward to trying this place and was ultimately disappointed. The prices are too much as well. I recommend Juan Pollo over this place.. The only good thing was the horchata. read more
