    I downloaded the Pollo Campero app and now I'm hooked! I've never heard of the place until the chain showed up in my neighborhood. They have the BEST flaky, buttery, flavorful chicken empanadas I've ever tasted in my life!!! The street corn, plantains and mango drink is pretty delicious too, I'm pretty sure the mango drink will give me diabetes, so I'd mix it with water. The staff is bilingual, friendly and quick. The dining area and bathroom is very clean and well kept. I took off a star, bc the news was on and it put a downer on such a cheerful environment :-/

    Pretty awful meal from chicken dripping with grease to the sorriest dinner biscuit you ever saw in your life. I went home and deleted the app I just loaded.

    This is a glimpse of the eating area. I'm on the other side, eating my order of Campero beans.

    A jolly looking "pollo" mascot looks at the potential customers with a smile and a thumbs up. Alright, much more lively than the colonel. I know there's a good chance that I will be smiling as well once I'm done eating so inward I go. I walk in and I am already thinking: KFC and Boston Market, but from the west coast. I'm thinking New Mexico. As I look around, I see artwork that radiates Central America culture. The music in the background was ethnically exciting and upbeat. I recognized the song as "En Barranquilla me quedo" by Selena Cruz. This is the exact kind of music that I like to listen to while I'm eating something zesty and well-seasoned. The manager came up to me and asked if I enjoyed my Camparo Beans and Fried chicken. "All I am missing is a cerveza". The manager knew exactly how I felt. I look forward to seeing this establishment thrive.

    Pretty decent and consistent food, though nothing mind-blowing. The chicken is crispy, the smash…read moreburger is flavorful, and I usually get the mix plate since it's a good value -- two burgers and fries. Their milkshakes are really good too, and the fries stay crisp. The mac and cheese was a disappointment though, and I wish they had a spicier or at least more garlicky sauce. Their sauce leans more on the sweet side, which isn't really my preference, and is why I personally prefer Sheikh's more. But overall, not bad.

    Unfortunately, not the best visit back. Now it is important to note this is my second visit back,…read moreas my first visit was of the upmost pleasant experience. So I'm not excited about leaving this review. Service: (+) What I will say is the cashier was very nice and welcoming and he seemed passionate about his job throughout conversation! He asked us what we tried the first time and provided explanations and different options on the menu for us to explore. Ambiance: (+) still clean inside (-) it's still SO COLD in the restaurant. We had originally ordered to stay, however after sitting there for a couple minutes while waiting for the order we changed it to go- prefer to eat at home where there is sufficient heat. (-) Another thing was we weren't able to hear each other over the very loud music playing. Not only while we were ordering (we had to ask for the cashier to repeat himself and had to repeat ourselves), but also when we were trying to talk to each other as we were waiting for food. Food: {we ordered the Yoyo Mix Plate, double burger, lotus biscuit milkshake, and Mac and cheese} (+) the chicken sandwich mild is still really delicious, although I'd like to see more coleslaw in it, in order to even out the flavors. (-) the smash burgers were dry. Not like the first time we were here where it was toasted but still moist. (-) lotus biscuit milkshake was good, but didn't seem to be as rich as the one we had the first time. It was watery- seemed to have ice cream to milk ratios off (-) Mac and cheese was my ultimate disappointment. I'm huge on Mac and cheese and the first time we came it was white cheddar and literally top tier flavors. This time around the Mac and cheese was yellow (?)... and it tasted like the Kraft Mac and cheese powder. Really not pleasant at all To me, CONSISTENCY IS KEY. I truly believe a restaurant has hit its peak performance when it achieves consistency. Here, unfortunately, it is missing. To me, the very evident change in the color of the Mac and cheese speaks volumes. It doesn't allow you to speculate whether maybe you might be tasting something different- it's just outright in your face different, and the taste is inconsistent. And not only with this, but also the other parts of the meal I had mentioned above. I can now see some of what had been mentioned by other yelp reviewers to be true. I don't believe I will be back- but do wish this restaurant the greatest success and hope they see this and take the feedback constructively.

    Extremely disappointed. When I arrived, the place was clean but empty and now I understand why…read more I ordered 3 piece chicken tenders (plain) and 5 piece chicken wings with yo-yo and lemon pepper sauce on side. My husband ordered their jalapeño cheese smash burger and waffle fries. The texture of the Chicken tenders were slightly rubbery and gristly which means they were undercooked. As soon as I lifted the chicken, half of the panko breadcrumbs fell off and the other half was soggy from the Texas toast on bottom. The breading of the wings were slightly better however again, the texture of the chicken was off. Although I ordered both the tenders and wings plain with sauce on side, they still should had some sort of seasoning. I guess you must order sauce on them for flavor. The waffle fries were awfully dry and unseasoned as well. Burger was decent but the establishment is called "YoYo Chicken" not YoYo Burger. Sauces - I wouldn't know what they tasted like becuase they forgot to put them in the bag. I paid a total of $1.50 for 3 sauces (.50 cent each) blue cheese, lemon pepper sauce and YoYo sauce. First off, wings should come with blue cheese without a 50 cent charge. Second, if I ordered lemon pepper sauce on the wings, it essentially would've been free but since I ordered sauce on the side, 50 cents! Wanted YoYo sauce for dipping my fries, 50 cents! I paid all of this money just to get home with no sauce in bag lol Overall, I spent a total of $36.00 for inedible food without the help of sauces and a Meh burger. Definitely won't be back!!
