Chicken Campero Bowl
Chandler D.

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!

Worst fried chicken I've ever had in my life, and I've been to prison. Dry, overcooked, and stuck to the bone. Restaurant was clean and service was good, though.

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.

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!

Condiments, Chips and Salsa

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.

I've had this chicken in Phoenix Arizona so I know it's pretty tasty. It was a bit dry but the taste is what I remember, unique and flavorful. The sides are all marginal but this chicken is very good when it fried perfectly, Oh you get a FREE piece of chicken when you check in Thanks Yelp

False advertising $8 meal with drink

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.

Quatros leches...this is about all I could eat...very very very sweet.
Cecilia J.

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.

They make you wait about 15 min for two pieces of chicken and if you ask for refund they tell you to wait that your order is almost ready

Good food but don't follow instructions when placing orders. Very frustrating when you REALLY want what you asked for.

Food: Tried the shrimp cocktail (shrimp, avocado, tomato,…read morechili, and onion), birria sope, beef gordita, and birria tacos. Everything was flavorful and fresh. My favorites were definitely the birria tacos and the sope. Price: 3 birria tacos for $12 -- pretty fair pricing for the portion and quality. Atmosphere: Very packed, which is usually a good sign, but still nice and organized. Plenty of seating and the restaurant was decorated really well. Family-friendly atmosphere too. Service: Customer service was great and everyone was friendly and helpful. Overall: Good food, fair prices, lots of options, and a nice environment. Definitely would come back!

Honestly I liked the authentic experience of La Jarochita but I think this place was definitely…read moreoverhyped to me. We drove out of our way to try this place and honestly it was a bit confusing to figure out where to order. There are two lines and it's not very clear which one we are supposed to get in for what. Especially because some of the items are duplicate on both menus. I noticed there was barely anyone in the "restaurant" line. Anyway, we sort of got a little bit of everything and wasn't completely brown away. I liked that they let you add your own toppings, and all of the sauces that have available were great. But the taco meats all sort of lacked a bit of flavor. Carnitas are my favorite but these were a bit inconsistent. Some pieces were very nice and juicy where others were hard to chew. I will say the place is very clean and spacious. They're pretty quick with your order as well. The food was lacking flavor for me personally. Overall, I don't think I would go back.

La Jarochita Restaurant - They have an entire concha wall which is always an indication of good things to come. I had lunch here and their food was spot on.

WHAT I ATE - VIRGINIA @ Cactus Bar & Grill…read moreManassas, VA A facebook group had offered a tip where we stumbled on this "tacquiza", a Mexican buffet style taco party held Fridays at the Cactus Bar and Grill. Unlimited made-to-order tacos! Buffet is perhaps not the best description as is connotes trays of pre-made food. In fact, everything is made to order in front of you and you take your order and dress is up to your liking at the Salsa Bar which includes everything you need to your liking. Whether you prefer "Americano" style or Mexican style fixings. You have a choice of tacos that includes; Carnitas, Buche, Tripa, Camaron, Alambre, Bistec, Chorizo, Birria, Asada, Cueritos, Cochinita Piril, and Nopal con Queso (Cactus with Cheese). Service was quick and the waitstaff are friendly to describe the food items, and quick to take drink orders. My wife adored the Camaron (shrimp) tacos for the plump, tasty shrimp, and the rich, slow cooked Birria, and the very clean Tripa (Beef Intestime). I really enjoyed the Alambre (a mix of steak pastore, ham sausage and peppers) and the Chorizo. I tried the Cactus Paddle with Mexican cheese. It had a unique, tart pickled vegetable flavor, a kind of cross between green pepper, Okra and Japanese seaweed salad type of quality. Unique, and tasty, but not my kinda thing. The Tacquiza is held on Fridays after 4PM, and we found there is a Mexican Brunch buffet that is held on Sundays which we are looking forward to trying!

Usually I like to give a places a few tries before I give a fair review. This time I need you all…read moreto know how great this place is. Hubby and I went on a Sunday for the all you can eat Mexican buffet. Considering it was a buffet, everything was beyond my expectations. Starting off arrival, It looks at little busy but they were able to accommodate us fairly quickly. They had a live mariachi which I'm a sucker for. I thought at first maybe it would be too loud but they did rotate around the restaurant which made it more comfortable and took breaks. Moving on to the food. There was not a single thing that either of us had that we did not enjoy or scarf down. I started with the pozole which was probably my favorite. I like mine with salsa crema some chips cilantro and onion and they had all the fixings! Also have the chilaquiles which they had a station for. They also had tacos which I did not get around too but were made on spot which I thought was really cool. They had a large selection from menudo, so 3 different pastas, potato's, meatballs, eggs, rice, mole, corn (LOVED), different guisados, the list goes on. We tried to have a little of everything but it was more than I could handle. They had a dessert station too. From flan, chocolate fountain, build your on chips (if your Mexican you know) arroz con leche (AMAZING) and so much more. Drinks were extra but we went for it anyways, unlimited soda and I had horchata. Mexican horchata is usually a hit or miss but this was a HIT!! The service lacked a bit. He definitely forgot about us for a bit but the manager came around checking on anyways and noticed. After that he didn't forget about us again and that was appreciated. We can not wait to go back. We've been telling all of friends and family. Saturday is Central American food, can't wait to see what they have!! We will be back super soon (I'm sorry we didn't get pictures it was just that good)
