    Nuggets with campero sauce
    Zac G.

    With Popeye's, KFC, and Zaxby's all nearby, Pollo Campero entered a rather crowded stretch of West Market. Despite this, it's managed to attract a following if the steady stream of drive-thru traffic is anything to go by. Part of the appeal is the menu: it's not like you can get plantains or yucca fries at any of the other chicken chains nearby. The staff here are also friendly and courteous. Of course, the biggest draw is probably the chicken. They advertise meals/combos, but I was really seeking a snack-sized portion. Fortunately, they were able to hook me up with a six-piece of nuggets. While definitely not the cheapest chain chicken offerings, they were definitely among the best. The nuggets were crispy, and the signature campero sauce - tangy and just a bit spicy - made for a perfect accompaniment. I don't know if the rest of the menu is similarly delicious, but I hope to eventually find out.

    This place makes some very good fried chicken with a distinct Central American taste! They also offer their chicken grilled with a citrus flavor, and a very nice chicken sandwich. It was started in Guatemala in 1971, and now has 400 locations, over 100 in the US. Spots can be found throughout Central America and Mexico as well! This is a fast casual restaurant, but the do offer a digital table service where you can use a QR code to access the menu, place your order, and pay. Your order will be brought to your table. A drive thru is also available but lines can be a bit long, though you can preorder using their app. The fried chicken is marinated for at least several hours, and at some spots overnight. The marinate consists of lime juice seasoned with garlic, cumin, oregano, and perhaps more. Once marinated, the chicken pieces are hand breaded in flour seasoned with paprika, cumin, cayenne, and perhaps a bit more. It is then fried in vegetable oil until it is golden brown and there is a very nice, noticeable crunch and it is very tender inside! I have tried the fried chicken, the grilled chicken, the fried chicken sandwich, the empanadas, the plantains, the rice, the Mac & cheese, campero beans, and the corn salad. I really like the fried chicken, the grilled chicken not so much. The fried chicken sandwich was also excellent, as were the campero beans and the Mac & cheese. Everything else was just ok. There are a lot of chicken choices available in the area now, but this is one you should give a try!

    I have been trying to get in this restaurant since Tuesday, March 11. That was their grand opening and it was slammed. This restaurant is nestled besides KFC and across from Zaxby's. Pro tip: Try to avoid the drive thru and go inside because it's faster. I went inside and it took about 5 mins to order and get my food. The cashiers were helpful and nice. Everything look nice and clean. They serve the food in real plates when you dine in. The chicken tenders are good with a hint of lime seasoning. The yuca fries are good but I need more!! The beans got heat to it and reminds me of chilli without the meat. The signature sauce "campero sauce" taste like the chick-fila sauce. The grill chicken was very well seasoned and juicy. Citrus flavors. The fried chicken is okay. It was dry. Get the grilled chicken!!! If you're in the area, go stop by and give it a try!!!

    This is a HOT spot!! We caught it at the right time; there was no line down W. Market Street!! The menu is simple, chicken or chicken. With the chaos of so many customers wanting to eat inside, outside, or just get it to go, not to mention the drive-thru, the staff are doing an AWESOME job of organizing the chaos. You get a number at the door to place on your table while you go order your food. Everyone is very helpful and nice. Both flavors of chicken (grilled or fried) are very juicy and flavorful. The yucca fries are crisp and the maduros (sweet plantains) are cooked perfectly! The only mishap was the Pepsi soda machine was out of several flavors. Maybe next time it will get changed out before we leave. I can't wait to return!!!

    Chicken has so much flavor. So much different than your regular KFC or traditional chicken. Have 3 signature drinks on tap that are all good. Fried and grilled options available.

    The service here was very professional and spot on. There are good and bad about the food in my honest opinion however to each their own. The good. Fried chicken was spot on. Just the right amount of church you look for when it comes to fried chicken. The mac and cheese is thick but in a good way. Empanadas were very creamy in the inside but just a touch greasy. Now the bad. The grilled chicken tasted like it marinated in Italian dressing then grilled but grilled enough to were it tasted burnt and the breast was really dry for me. The yucca fries...if your mouth was watery for the fried chicken the yucca fries will act like a bounty napkin and immediately dry your mouth out. Unless my fries were not freshly made it was an absolute 'NO' for me. The rice...reminded me of uncle Ben vegetable rice in the microwaveable bag. I wasn't so thrilled about the rice. On a happy note and happy ending the chocolate chip cookies were very good and had a lot of chocolate chips in them.

    First time visitor to a Pollo Campero and I was SUPER impressed! I wish we had one closer to my home in VA!! The service was excellent, very friendly smiling faces! The restaurant was really busy on the afternoon that I visited, but the teammates were doing their very best to get everyone's meal ASAP! The food was very fresh and delicious! The fried Plantains and the Empanadas were excellent! I wish I would have ordered more to take back home! Will definitely visit another location when I am close.

    The chicken is really good! Better than Popeyes & KFC, in my opinion...I prefer the grilled chicken.

Service was interesting/questionable because we were approached by two different servers for drink orders within a few minutes. Secondly, we asked what was in/on the side for some items and the server had no idea and didn't offer to go ask the kitchen. Third, why have horchata on the menu if you don't serve it...

Service was definitely underwhelming this round, and honestly the food didn't hold up either. I'm a Birria girl through and through and I played it safe with what what I know. The birria tacos came a bit OVERstuffed for me and they fell apart immediately, and there was zero real flavor. My margarita was giving straight strawberry syrup with a splash of "hope." Wait time for initial service was 30+ minutes, and we were told they were short-staffed. Our server was on day 2, so no shade to him at all -- that was a management/setup issue. It just felt like no one was really helping control the chaos or wait times. After eating, we still waited another 30 minutes just to get our checks. Not to mention, there was an extra margarita on my tab that I didn't order. Between the noise level and language barriers, I ended up using a translator app just to clear it up... which honestly is my sign to start my Spanish lessons ASAP. Overall, I won't pull up for the party nights but maybe a chill Sunday visit would hit better, and I'll definitely be trying a different menu item until those birria tacos redeem themselves

We opted some of both with a little more emphasis on the Salvadoran. Our choices were: Platillo Tipico (a Salvadoran Plate with a Chicken Tamal, a Pork & Cheese Pupusa, Tuca, Fried Plantain, Pastelito, & Sour Cream - $10.99), Carne Asada (with Rice & Beans - $11.99), Caldo de Mariscos (Seafood Soup - $12.90), One Beef Burrito, One Taco & One Enchilada Combo ($6.99), One Enchilada, One Beef Burrito & Chile Relleno Combo ($ 6.99). There was a lot of items to sample, and it was really a mixed bag, but more negative than positive.

The sweet plantains were fried to the point where the exterior of the plantain was just caramelized enough, but the star of the show was the pulled pork arepa. Imagine a pulled pork sandwich with crispy arepas as your bun topped with jalapeño coleslaw and pickled onions. The flavors of the toppings combined with the juicy pulled pork is top tier.
