I haven't had Pollo Campero for many years, so I decided to come here for my cheat day yesterday (Sunday). (I used to go to the one in the Pico-Union area on Olympic and Union) This was my very first time coming to this location. When I tried the chicken for the first time in many years, I was not disappointed. The chicken is incredibly flavorful to the bone, tender, and extremely juicy. The sides were quite nice too, and our cashier was really nice and welcoming. I might get some heat for this but in my opinion, Pollo Campero is way better than Popeyes. It is the best fast food fried chicken chain. If you love fried chicken, please try Pollo Campero. You will not be disappointed. I will definitely be coming here in the future when I'm craving fried chicken! read more

They have time after time. Tried to duplicate the original and still waiting for that magic touch. Don't get me wrong it is good compares to other. But this time took the case, no more mash potatos, ??? Chicken was soggy instead of crispy, and the attendants. Looked like if they didn't wanna be there! Over all they may be losing another customer read more

On of the employees kept cleaning tables with the number stand and never wiped the tables to sanitize each table nor the number stand. He went right back to work filling orders without washing hands. read more

I've been eating here for quite a while and it's one of my favorite restaurants and unfortunately, this is where I'm at now. I went there on Thursday night ordered an eight piece meal when I got home. It was missing part of the order. We ate the food and I've been Sick with food poisoning since Thursday night and it's Friday afternoon right now and I'm still sick. I'm considering going to the emergency room. I'm really disappointed. This was one of my favorite places to eat. I don't think I'll be going back. This is the worst feeling I've ever had. Food poisoning my favorite restaurant is very disappointing.. read more

I love this place so much. It is always my go to place when I get off of work. I love chicken and this one really hits the spot. I always get the chicken with rice and salad and it's bomb.

1st time customer! Was expecting something similar to EPL and was pleasantly surprised !The food was amazing! Flavorful, savory, and filling. the empanadas and sweet plantains. Made some hungry travelers very happy. Anaheim CA store!! read more

I've been here few times and they lack customer service skills. It never fails, you get to witness a staff arguing with a customer at every visit. My visit yesterday included witnessing a manager (I assume since she was in a different uniform than everyone else,) telling the customer she was wrong and to read her receipt. As if the cashier can't make a mistake? Food is flavorful but getting pricier every time I stop by. The restaurant was super packed and standing room only, it was around 3 pm and they were nonstop. read more

Tried this place out for some fried chicken and was underwhelmed. What is the draw to this place anyway? The fried chicken was bland and 8 pieces for $25? What is that about? I can honestly say that KFC has them beaten hands down. This is the first time I have had buyer's remorse for spending that much money on flavorless chicken. Sorry PC. But never again. read more

Terrible service I made an order for 1 pm and got there at 2 and they didn't even remember about my order. Do not order from here

I promised an update! Well this is it! Pollo Campero contacted me & was very interested in correcting what my complaint was. They also offered me a discount on my next purchase to give the place another chance. That was very nice of them. A company that cares about customer's reviews will definitely be very successful. I can't wait to try this place again soon. Wish Pollo Campero all the best. read more

Love the fried chicken and family enjoys it too Just small space to dine but prefer this location then LA area one (Olympic or 7th Street). read more

I got to say that when I passed this place the day before and saw it packed, it was a sign to try this place. I got the 2 piece meal and they asked "wing and breast or leg and thigh?" which is a plus. I got the wing and breast, I have to say that the flavor of the food was delicious and I don't like fried chicken like that. For my side I got the beans and those were my favorite, I even prefer it over the chicken. I will definitely return to this place whenever I visit LA. read more

Pollo Campero - Two Piece Meal with Campero Beans - Fast Food Near Me - Los Angeles, California

How do you review fast food? Not even sure if it's necessary. For the most part your getting frozen foods or something instant. My taste buds hate me when I decide to eat this stuff. So, the only reason I stopped here is because I wanted a dragon fruit lemonade from the Buisness next door, and they...lmao we're out of dragon fruit. Then went with my daughter and got a boba. As I was outside I smelled the chicken and said why not. I hardly ever eat fast food nor foods that are fried. Maybe twice a year if that...do I go to a fast food joint. Anyways, I smelled the chicken and saw there were a handful of people in there so I said why not. I went in and I literally was going to walk out because the floors were so dirty and tables too, but I didn't listen to my instincts. I went to the front and waited till they were ready to talk to me...lol. I ordered chicken wing, breast, coleslaw, and instant mashed potatoes with gravy and a drink . The girl at the counter was nice, but far from enthusiastic. I guess who could blame her. I took my food to go. Got home...started to eat. Their motto is live life to the flavorfullest, and today I didn't except at the potluck my staff and I had at work. LOL!!! The chicken was dry, but the skin did have flavor. No need to discuss the mashed potatoes. Coleslaw? Mmm let's see... mayo, cabbage, green pepper and yeah that's it. Like I said truly no need to critique a fast food restaurant. Your taste buds already know what to expect and it surely isn't flavorfullest. My daughter who is old enough to know said..." Mom you should no better, and why would you review a fast food place food?" Well, like I told her "guess I want to put my 2 cents worth in". I'm rating a 2 star not for the food; as like I said above..."its not necessary to rate fast food when you know what you might get". I'm rating cleanliness and customer service. The restaurant was not exactly the cleanest place, and there was plenty of staff there to have this maintained. The customer service wasn't necessarily up to par; except for the girl that waited on me was nice and had a smile. read more

The cashier is not friendly at all, seems like she is mad. The grilled chicken smelled horrible. I could not eat it and gave it to my dog. The only good thing was the Cole slaw. I will never come back again. read more

Great sense of humor as soon as you walk in you are greeted by friendly workers. The chicken is always brought out fresh as soon as you order always a pleasant taste! Definitely recommend it and will be coming back soon. read more

An excessively protracted wait is an unbearable inconvenience. I'm not enjoying my time here.

Buen servicio me encanta este lugar son muy amables la muchacha lidia muy linda persona la manager muy amable con los clientes

Being served as a "to go" customer but told them for here. Telling them i want a small drink and being given the largest. Definitely not coming back here. Oh by the way, all this was 15.00 for a 2 piece. Just go somewhere else if you like Salsa, they dont have it except for Ketchup & rude customer service read more

Oh man, the fried chicken here is just so darn juicy and so well flavored. This particular location is pretty busy, so plan your time accordingly. I appreciate they use re-usable plattes and silverware to lower the carbon footprint impact from them to our planet. I almost always get the 3 piece dark with fried yucca, and mashed potatoes. I like the sauce that comes with the yucca to dip in to. It's slightly sweet but tangy can't pin point the flavour though. They offer dinner rolls or tortilla if you like with your chicken. For drinks they have a Pepsi fountain station and a few Agua frescas. My favourite is the Mango Agua Fresca. Parking is in the small lot right behind the building and service has always been good here too. read more

Love the crispy juicy chicken. It's the best. I also loved how the fries taste. They're so good. I definitely recommend this restaurant and we will be coming back. read more

A surprisingly good alternative to your average roast chicken. Pollo Campero makes two types of a tasty bird we cherish. The grilled styled chicken is marinated well and is delicious, but what was most impressive is how moist their fried chicken is. The fried chicken here is crispy with a good breading ratio, and breast meat cuts are flavor filled and cooked to perfection. Accompany, your meal with the corn salad and you will experience something different and pleasantly satisfying. The only thing I suggest is to avoid the mash potatoes. read more

The best chicken in town. Thank you for serving the people in the medical field. This gesture is so humbling and generous. From the staff of Fountain View Sub Acute facilty, we extend our sinceres gratitude. The chicken is so flavorful. The manager/supervisor, Aracelli Palares made sure we have everything we need. A good leader if i may add read more

Chicken is good. The slow service and handling of the food after touching cash, not so much. In an establishment as such, they must have better sanitation practices. Disappointed. read more

I would give this place 5 stars if their side dishes were better. The chicken though!!! 5 stars for sure! Yummy yummy flavor. Crispy crunchy skin. Mmmmm mmmm! The beans were good. Get the beans and you'll be fine. We got some grilled chicken too and put that with some beans and tortillas and it was a nice lil taco snack. Do not however get the coleslaw. It's salty... no sweetness. It was very off putting. And just weird! Mashed potato's are very fake. I mean I don't mind fake but the texture on these are way off. Just go get a huge bucket of chicken. You'll love it. read more

I literally saw a German cockroach crawling in front of the fountain drink area and when I told the cashier she acted like it didn't even matter and she didn't even care. The sides at this place are also terrible. Don't eat at this roach infested place. read more

I've been to other pollo campero and this one is the worst. Ronaldo the cashier didn't listen when I asked for two side (rice and beans) and only gave me rice. They charged me again for the beans. I also ordered the new chicken sandwich and it took them 15 minutes to bring the order out. Definitely not a pleasant experience. This place need to do better. read more

I drove my Family from Texas to Hollywood famous Sunset and my friend from Guatemala always recommended to stop by at Pollo Campero to try their Yucca fries. Chichen was good but we order Ford plantains they were frozen inside. Service was very pour the cashier not friendly at all. Bathroom was dirty and mold around the faucet smelled grimy. Very bad experience. read more

Honestly is the food of my country and I sincerely love their amazing tasting crunchy seasoning that only they can put it in a chicken breast I also like their grilled chicken I love their corn I love their corn tortillas and their natural drinks over all the services of a fast food but they actually provide service as a home style restaurant and they bring your food they pick up your food and they're asking maybe once or twice if you need anything read more

Pollo Campero - Entrance - Fast Food Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Crooks. Never been here but stopped by on way to a play in Hollywood. Put in an order, and I thought the bill was a little high and asked for a receipt. They said they would give it when they gave me the food. When the food was delivered, they didn't give it. I had to go back to the cashier and I see why they withheld it. I got a combo with a drink and they added a dollar for a large drink without asking me. I asked for another regular drink and they put in a large. C'mon man! You're going to nickel and dime customers to make a buck? I told the cashier that this was not cool esp if they are being trained to do this. Her simple apology and refund offer implied that this is a management strategy. I told them I didn't want my money back but this is classless. read more

Pollo Campero is a small chain. This one is located adjacent to a busy Starbucks. My bf and I stopped here on a Sunday morning. It opens at 10 a.m. We ordered a spicy empanadas. It was flakey, crisp and delicious. Prices are very reasonable. read more

The best way I can describe this place is if you mix a KFC rooster with an El Pollo Loco hen, the chick is Pollo Campero. It has hybrid vigor too - its better than its two 'parents' combined. I haven't eaten in a Guatemalan restaurant yet, but I know I love Pollo Campero . This restaurant chain started back in the very early 70's in Guatemala. It became so popular there that its one of the few countries were KFC is not able to dominate like it has so many other countries outside the USA. They are even challenging KFC's dominance in Asia and have opened their first location in Indonesia, the fried chicken capital of the world. One of their newest locations opened Hollywood a few years ago at Sunset and St. Andrews. Its a very urban part of town, but when you step inside the fast food restaurant, you feel like you have entered a Central American fiesta. Its very brightly lit, and the orange and yellow colors make you think of a balmy tropical place. I was looking out to see if there were any hanging pinatas. There wasn't a long line when I arrived around 7 PM. I ordered the 3 piece meal ($5.49) which includes 2 sides and your choice of tortillas, biscuit or dinner roll. The dinner roll looked pathetic, and I can't imagine eating fried chicken with a tortilla, so I ordered the biscuit. They were out of biscuits and cooking more, so it took about 5 minutes before my biscuit arrived. I prefer dark meat when it comes to chicken, so they served me 2 thighs and a wing. they asked me if i wanted another thigh instead of the wing, but I settled for a wing. The 3 piece meal was supposed to consist of 2 legs and a thigh, but I guess they were out of legs that night. For my 2 sides I ordered Spanish rice and sweet plantains. The plantains cost 0.90 cents extra. The chicken was delicious. The skin was fried in a light batter and it wasn't oily or had a greasy aftertaste. The texture was definitely crispy - just the way I like my fired chicken. I liked it much better than KFC. The Spanish rice took me by surprise. I was expecting something non memorable like what El Pollo Loco serves, but this Spanish rice was really good. Almost like a cross between paella and Spanish rice. The fried plantains were also done right. Not oily and the texture was just perfect. They were sweet and delicious. The biscuits finally came and I was not disappointed. They weren't the best biscuits I have tasted, but better than the ones they serve at McDonald's or KFC. It was delicious with the honey packets. The service at this restaurant was very good, and what impressed me further was that they would later come to your table and offer you those packet moist towelettes to clean your hands with, as well as some condiment items. They will also clean up after your table. So its like a hybrid between fast food and sit down. The total cost for my meal including a medium drink was $8.64, so pretty good and filling for a meal under 10 bucks. I'm definitely a convert and look forward to the day when they open a location in West LA. Update: I ate there again last weekend. The chicken and the rice was as good before, but the plantains were overcooked and not freshly cooked. The biscuit also was also on the hard side. read more

Oh my god! The best alternative to Pollo Loco ever. Omg, I absolutely feel this is the BEST FRIED CHICKEN in Los Angeles. Fuck Popeyes, any other place. Wow, yum, delicious and perfectly seasoned. For $6 dollars you get 3 pieces of chicken, very generous, and one side order, I chose fried Mexican style sweet plantains, scrumptious, wow, also choose to add the corn salad, which is cold esquite with herbs like cilantro, yum, and then I ordered the very large Horchata, best lunch ever, and they even have Flan. Yummy, delicious best fried chicken in LA, I HIGHLY Recommend. But you have to be assertive as the line is confusing as to who is next. It can get akward. But if you eat there, they serve you in real plates. Best Mexican comfort food EVER read more

I regret not eating the Peruvian. I don't usually eat fried food, but these chicken nuggety things were very tasty, crunchy outside, and soft inside. Maybe too much crunchy breading. My favorite food is plantains, & these were so good! I should have ordered more! Maybe the Peruvian flavor next trip. The service was good enough for a fast food place... There are reviews for the same restaurant in a similar address, so I don't know if it's the same place, but I have no complaints about our service here. Parking is very limited in the back lot. read more
