First of all let me say I LOVE me some pollo campero! The chain is very well known due to its presence in Central America. I'm from NC and there's only two locations in Charlotte, NC so getting pollo campero is a treat! We stopped in for some takeout. The location was clean and not too busy when we arrived. The customer service was okay, not amazing but also not rude or overly ecstatic. We did have to wait about 15/20 mins for chicken but I didn't mind because it was absolutely delicious (knew it would be)! A MUST try, I prefer the fried chicken but their grilled chicken is also pretty good! read more

You could eat here but why? I'm not a picky eater but I definitely would have been better off eating at Popeyes or KFC. Just go someplace else not good at all. read more

Chicken was ok. In the mood for some fried chicken. It was fried. The Yucca was the best part. If I had some garlic dipping sauce it would be stellar. Ok solid 3. Spanish is mother's tongue. So be ready. Service ok. It is fast fried food so it is as casual as it gets. Skip the coleslaw. read more

Great food for a reasonable price! It reminds me of the Captain D's / Long John Silvers vibe. You order, they give you a number for your table, they bring the food to you. The chicken was tender on the inside, and fried to a crunchy crisp on the outside. It was very lovely. The sides were also great! There were many to pick from. I got the fries and Mac& cheese. The fries got cold quick because of how thin they're cut, but the macaroni was amazing. A nice fluid cheese, not coagulated clumps, and seasoned well! The service was also amazing. Food was ready fast. Very clean place as well. 10/10 for me! read more

I am a huge fan of this particular location of Pollo Campero - this place is always busy, and there definitely is a reason! The food is always served fresh and made-to-order, and the way that they prepare their food makes their version so much tastier and more seasoned compared to other PC spots! The menu offers individual combo meals, family combo deals, various sides, and even desserts. The hubs usually orders the 3 Piece Meal, Campero Fried, and let me tell you - that chicken skin is spiced up, super crispy, and so yummy! Even though it's fried, it's not oily as they drain it properly; the meat is also very juicy! For sides, the Corn Salad is so addicting - roasted corn, peppers, feta cheese, and cilantro, topped with pumpkin seeds, all dressed with a smoky type of a dressing - this location's version is not 'wet' and heavy with liquid, which I've experienced at other locations. The mashed potatoes and gravy is okay, the potatoes and the gravy being more of a thick consistency. I'm a huge fan of their empanadas, as they're puff pastries, fried to a crispy golden-brown, filled with a creamy and cheesy combination of pulled chicken, chipotle sauce, diced green peppers, cilantro, and Monterey Jack cheese - I KNOW! I absolutely can't STAND cilantro, but in here, it's like guacamole - it's subtle! Staff here are super friendly and welcoming, and they try to be mindful of your time. You can do call-ahead orders so that you can just swing by and pick it up as an option. Plenty of parking! +delicious fried chicken! +tasty Corn Salad +delicious empanadas! +friendly staff +plenty of parking read more

The food here is absolutely delicious and served fresh! Have not been able to find better empanadas then the ones they serve here! They serve food from grilled/fried chicken, to chicken bowls, to empanadas to Yuka fries! They have a little something for everyone! read more

The chicken and food in general was very good here! I didn't find the prices to reflect similar restaurants in the area though. The meals were around ~$8-9 with not the expected level of food. The menu itself is very small and the variety of sauces is lacking (ketchup, chalula, and house sauce). We had fried chicken with yuca fries. The fries are so good! The house sauce was also very tasty. Our chicken was good, however, the bones and insides were chewy and seemed too easy to mistakenly eat. The food itself also wasn't hot when it came out. We probably will come back in the future! This place definitely has some uniqueness to it. read more

So my family is from out of state and enjoys pollo campero (memories from California) I have submitted a review exactly a year ago when they visited Due to the quality of the food, unfortunately this time around I am currently waiting for my family's meal which is a four piece special I have arrived at 8:36 and it is currently now 9 o'clock and the food is yet to be brought out. The dining room is filled of upset customers that are complaining but still waiting patiently to be served, please we ask to be mindful of wait times, and communication on wait times, this will help the customers to understand the situation of wait time and show empathy for short staff. I hope this suggestion helps for the sake of ones that travel out of town to enjoy the memories that they had of this franchise. read more

Pollo Campero Manassas - a receipt for a restaurant - Fast Food Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

Glad to see Pollo Campero open in Manassas! I've been to their locations in Wheaton and Herndon and enjoy their food. I stopped in for dinner and the place was packed! I ordered the two piece fried chicken meal (wing and breast), plus their delicious Campero beans, which also comes with a dinner roll and a soda (went with Diet Coke). They hand you a number attached to a stand - I got my soft drink and found a seat and waited. Food came out a couple of minutes later. Chicken was moist and delicious! Skin was crispy and oh so tasty! The Campero beans were good as always! Keep in mind - this is Latin American fried chicken - NOT Peruvian chicken. They are vastly different food products - I happen to like both! read more

The chicken is petty good and the rice and beans are even better! The problem with this place is the service. They are very disorganized and on weekends the place seems like a madhouse. They also cater to the Hispanic community so stepping in there as another race and you seem to be subjected to rude stares and non-helpful staff. I gave them 3 stars because their food is good but they do seem a bit racist. I am new to the area so I will patronize them because I love the food. As soon as I find a comparable alternative....no thanks. You guys should make everyone feel welcome. read more

I ended up here for dinner after my dad had recommended that we go as a family to try the chicken since it was so different. We ordered a family style meal with about 16 pieces of chicken and 3 sides of campero beans , black beans and rice and french fries it also came with rolls or tortillas.We also ordered a bowl of the chicken tortilla soup and a side of fried plantains. The chicken was really good crispy skin with a nice lime flavor it was fresh and different from your typical fried chicken which has a heavier taste. The campero beans were really good it ways almost like eating baked beans except without all the brown sugary sweetness.I added a bit of the chopped onion with cilantro from the condiment bar which upped it a bit. We got rolls but after eating everything it made me wish we ordered tortillas. The chicken tortilla soup tasted so fresh and clean that it made me wish I had a huge bowl. The fried plantains were good but i wish they has more of a crisping from the natural sugars. Overall experience was decent although we were the only ASIAN family eating in the restaurant full of Latino people that definitely stared at us while we ate. I did love that they have a condiments bar for salsa and other toppings. Service: Was actually really good for a fast food joint type place. They also gave us a side of chips and salsa while we waited for our chicken. Only negative thing is they almost forgot to give us 2 pieces of chicken that were suppose to come with the order until we reminded them. read more

Mehhh.. I was kind of confused because I thought Pollo Campero was Peruvian chicken. It's not bad by any means, but the roasted chicken is not what I am used to at Guapo's or Pollos Inka, rather It is citrusy and herby. At least the inside is still juicy. The cole slaw was mehh. (Sorry for the repetition of adjectives, but that really is the most appropriate word to capture my apathy toward the food.) I tried the quatros leches for dessert and it was a little too sweet for me. I could only eat about 3 bites. I was mostly disappointed by the guava drink though. Since it was listed separately from fountain drinks I assumed it was something special, but it was more like a guava hi-c fountain drink with extra sugar. Couldn't drink it. I am however still giving three stars for the yuca fries, the little salsa/hot sauce bar and the customer service. The manager was super kind and gracious. read more

Pollo Campero Manassas - Quatros leches...this is about all I could eat...very very very sweet. - Fast Food Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

Came in for lunch, we opted to dine in, ordered the 8 piece family meal with two sides for $20.99. I also ordered 3 empandas which came with a side and a drink. When you dine in, they serve everything on plates, so the convience of boxing everything up when u are done is not there. You would need to ask for to goto containers. Fried chicken - very salty and crunchy. You would need to eat this with white rice or something to even out the saltiness. Yuca - this is my first time having yuca that is so soft and buttery but it was cold. Beans - I asked for rice but they gave me beans, sigh. Beans tasted decent. Empandas - not bad, I asked for spicy and it was not spicy. Empandas were room temperature, I bet it would have tasted better if it was fresh. Corn salad - omg this is the sadness dish they have. On the menu it looks so good but when they serve it to you, its all nasty looking. Chips - these were pretty damn good but there was no actual salsa for these chips. We also got tortillas instead of dinner rolls. I would stay away from their sides and just stick to the chicken. Overall it's just OK... read more

Very slow service, being only 3 people waiting for orders had to wait over 39 minutes. When given order of 20 plus pieces of chicken and sides... I requested extra ketchup and was given an attitude by a manager not even a regular staff member. When I said I could pay for it if that was the problem she just pointed at the cashier and left.. I am Latina work in the service industry and understand situations happen but it is our duties to refrain from given a guest attitude specially when guest offers to pay for an item that should just be given out.. read more

Stop by today ordered the Spicy Chicken sandwich meal which was advertised for $8 which includes a side and a free drink. Ordered an additional empanada. When the cashier told me the total he told me $14.30 which didn't sound right. Brought to his attention that the meal is $8.25 not $8 and I'm being charged for a drink which says clearly on the screen free drink Monday-Thursday. Today was Thursday. The one cashier they had looked overwhelmed and felt bad for the guy with 10 people in line to order. He went to the manager to ask her about the special. She was busy flirting with some co-worker at 12:27 lunch rush at a dining table. Cashier came back to tell me that she says she is not sure why that advertisement is on the screen because it's not honored. Manager looked dis-interested and busy doing her thing. Told him it sounded like false advertisement and that's an issue. He agreed. Was short on time and needed a drink so I paid for the drink anyways. Be careful because I can't imagine how many others are being over charged. Manger calls me after I filed a complaint on the receipt survey. Made some BS excuse saying there was a miscommunication with the cashier. I don't buy it. Photo shows manager with some co worker, receipt and the false advertisement on the screen. Tells me I can come back for a refund for the drink but not worth driving 30 minutes to go back for $2.50 and I'll take my loss. Tells me she will refund me if I visit again. Not happening. Sandwich was decent but yucas were cold and dry. read more

Really Bad Customers service!! Needs friendly crews members They love's and enjoying to work!! With people of any race!!! Thank you read more

I thought this was a Peruvian chicken place like La Granja in Florida, it was the farthest thing from it. Pollo Tropical is another standard that I would compare Campero to. Peruvian chicken is absolutely the best Latin chicken you can get. I even went on the Campero website to see if they disclose which Latin country their chicken is based on. I am sad to say that this is not real Latin chicken. My daughter loves Latin flavored chicken and i should have known better when she elected to order chicken strips instead of the roasted chicken. The second clue should have been to walk out when i saw fried chicken and roasted chicken on the menu. Latins are not experts at fried chicken!! Third, I should have known I was in trouble when they served the roasted chicken with lots of lime wedges. Real Latin chicken is marinated with citrus like Mojo before you grill it! Instead, this chicken had lots of rubbed on spices that I thought was overpowering. The yucca fries were dry and what the hell am I suppose to do with a corn tortilla with my roasted chicken. The black beans lacked flavor, My quest for good Latin roasted chicken in Manassas area continues! Where are the Peruvian chickens? read more

New fast food chain in Manassas. It's a Latin Fried Chicken. It is located where the Wok n Roll Chinese buffet used to be. The restaurant opened on Tuesday 3/22 and I visited the restaurant on 3/26. My experience: My parents live in Manassas and I'm often driving there to visit them. When I am driving towards I-66 highway, I had noticed this restaurant was being built and I had heard it finally opened. My father, my fiance, and myself decided to try this new 'fried chicken' place to see what the hype was about. My dad had mentioned to me he saw huge lines whenever he drove past the restaurant. We went here at about 7:30pm or 8:00pm on a Saturday night. The placed was crowded. The line was going outside the door and into a heated auxilary tent that the restaurant set up to handle the overflow of customers. There was a nice lady who worked there and told people as they arrived to the tent that the wait about about 25 minutes (for fast food!). We didn't care. We wanted to try it. The lady gave us a brochure/menu and told us that we would enjoy the food. This African American lady in front of us said it was her second time here and that the food was amazing. We were the only Asians in line and in the restaurant, but we didn't care (besides the African American family and us Asians, EVERY customer was from some sort of Spanish-speaking nationality). We ordered the 12 piece chicken meal (no sides) for $16.99. We ordered half fried and half grilled. It seems everyone in the restaurant was getting the FRIED chicken and no one ordered the grilled. We wanted to try both so we did half and half (which apparently isn't common because the cashier had to ask her boss how to put it into the register). We also ordered 2 of the 3 specialty Latin drinks. They were both sweet and tangy. Fruity tasting. After we ordered our chicken, we went to the condiment bar and got 2 or 3 of each of the different sauces. The red sauce was my favorite. It's almost like a slightly spicy salsa without the chunks of tomatoes/onions/etc. in it. We got the chicken to go and brought it all home. We were thinking "what makes this better than the typical KFC/Popeyes?". We wanted to know what the hype was about. The chicken did smell really great in the car though. We opened up the boxes and the chickens were so warm and fresh. The skin is not like any other American fried chicken. It's extremely thin and crispy, but not really greasy. Very hard to explain. The meat is flavorful and tender. Dipping the pieces of white meat into the different sauces made it even better. The grilled chicken was good too, but definitely not as good as the fried chicken (now we know why everyone only got the fried chicken). The grilled chicken had lots of seasoning on it and the skin tasted flavorful, but the grilled chicken meat wasn't as juicy as the fried chicken meat (although I bet it is healthier lol). Anyways, the fried chicken here definitely lives up to the hype. I hope it wasn't "this good" because they just opened. I've noticed that when restaurants open that their food is top notch, but after a few months/years the quality really decreases. Hopefully this restaurant will last (it should since it is a major chain). I'll definitely be back one day to try some more fried chicken (in moderation only. I'm technically still on a diet, but hey I gotta treat myself sometimes!) read more

Pollo Campero Manassas - Image taken from Google. This restaurant is new and needed an image. - Fast Food Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

This place is right near my house so during the quarantine it was an easy go to for a quick bite. There was some snafu with the delivery pickup/drop off where someone brought my food and they called to tell me I never came to get it. I didn't get my drink so I'm guessing I may have gotten someone else's similar order. But overall, the chicken is good and the price and app coupons are a great plus so I recommend downloading it and giving it a try! read more

I'm going to begin with the solitary "con" because it's miniscule: the music clashes awfully with the venue. In this moment, I'm listening to some creepy country duet, and the song prior was a traditional Hispanic song. However, the food is wonderful. The seasoning on the chicken is superb. Couple that zesty spice with the smooth crispy skin, and you've got what is Pollo Compero: delicious chicken. I ordered the two piece combo with tortillas and campero beans. My girlfriend got the same thing, except she ordered campero rice rather than the beans. The tortillas are corn, and they are served streaming hot. I combined the beans and rice with the green and red salsas--oh my god!! So good. Is this place a five star restaurant? No. But, it is the cream is the crop as far as fast food chicken goes. Popeyes and KFC ought to be leery. read more

Although I'm not a fan of Pollo Campero, I thought I'd give it a try and see what had changed since I'd last been there. I came here at noon for lunch and it was not busy at all. I tried to order grilled chicken and was informed the grilled chicken would not be ready for 30 minutes or so. I changed my order to spicy chicken tacos. It took at least 20 minutes for them to put the order together, despite the restaurant not being busy. The tacos themselves were flour tortillas that tasted like they were from the grocery store, very salty shredded chicken meat, and fried tortilla strips. Pretty disgusting. This place is up there for combination of slowest service and worst food in Manassas. Guarantee I will never be back here. Too many better places around, especially for this style of food. read more

Zero stars. I'm done. Before I continue this poison pen review, allow me to qualify. I have been a fan of Pollo Campero for some years now. The fried chicken is uniquely theirs alone, and I've enjoyed the Campero rice and the Campero beans. My initial review,and the follow up review, was four stars. My last three experiences have been horror shows. 3 visits ago, I went in, ordered my family meal, heard my number called, received my food, and went home. When I got home, I was dismayed to find that I didn't receive my family meal, just a couple boxes of breasts. No mixed chicken, no sides, just breasts. We improvised a meal at home with it, but I wasn't happy. The next visit, some time later, I walked in with my wife, and we walked up to the counter. The girl behind the counter was on the phone. No acknowledgement, no hello, no nothing. After what felt like 15 minutes (it was probably more like five), my wife and I look at each other, and decide to take our business elsewhere. Last night, and much, much, much later than the previous two visits, we try Pollo Campero for Takeaway Friday. My wife went, ordered two meals, and waited. And waited. And waited. While others who ordered long after my wife received their food, my wife was still waiting. 30 minutes. For fast food? Anyways. She gets home, and we sit down for dinner. Full disclosure; I have two dogs, and we always give them some of our animal protein with their kibble. What are covenants for, amiright? All of us ate our dinner, adults, kids,dogs. It all seemed fine, except my youngest, who has a more sensitive pallets than the rest of us, commented that the grilled chicken seemed "off". Boy, was it. ALL of us got sick. Even the dogs. That food raced through us before the morning arrived. We really should've gone to El Rulas tacos. For $53, the family could've eaten like kings, for a shop that appreciates our business. Bad service. Bad food. Bad restaurant. Never again. read more

As far as fast, ethnic, tasty food this is your go-to. If I closed my eyes while drinking my guava drink I would have thought I was in Hawaii, considering how HOT it was in there and all, minus the humidity. The chips were thick like pita chips and the green salsa was my fave. The pico lacked flavor, didn't have enough cilantro or pepper flakes. The dark red salsa was only heat and no flavor. Everything I tasted was good: grilled Peruvian wings w/ lime, plantains, Campero beans, and the empanadas. The beans were my fave. Next time, I'm definitely trying the fried chicken because it looked so crispy and I'm taking my food to go. I don't have time for children running every-whicha-where when I'm eating. read more

It had been a couple years since I had eaten here so I decided to place an order on Eat24. My order went through at 745pm for delivery. I checked the status of the order at 8:15pm and noticed it said for pick up instead of delivery; but I was charged a delivery fee. I called the restaurant to check the ETA and was told that they do not deliver past 8pm. I explained that my order was placed at 745, but they refused to deliver my food. As I was putting in a request to cancel my order, I receive a call from Eat24 saying they spoke with the GM and they agreed to deliver my food since I ordered before 8pm. So why couldn't they just do that when I explained the situation? If you don't deliver past 8pm, then why are you still listed to deliver on Eat24? I finally got my food an hour after I ordered. Everything was cold. My son's camperitos were hard. No apology, nothing. Very rude and very bad customer service. I will not be ordering from here again. read more
