Food and service were terrible! 1 star because the plantains were the only good part of the meal. The cashier was "high as a kite when I ordered my dinner and he screwed that up! I had to order three separate times to get the order right, he charged me for a drink I didn't order and it took 10 minutes to get my money back and a water cup. 1st & last visit to the chicken camp. read more

I've eaten here once, but we've gotten takeout from them a number of times. The food has always been fresh, hot, and delicious! I love their chicken, the nuggets and the bone-in are so tasty. One of my favorite menu items, however, is the street corn. I save the fried plantains for dessert! read more

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

I honestly love this restaurant, it brings me a lot of great memories from my country. This is a place where you can share some quality time with your family. The service of this place is really good, the waitress attended us really good and they're are really friendly. read more

This is a very yummy resturant. I always use to drive past it because I didn't know what is was or if it would be good, but I'm glad I did. The fried chicken has so much flavor as well as the grilled chicken but those are not the only things on the menu worth trying...the yuka fries and house sauce are delicious. Here they have a soup called compero beans and its the best. I could go on about many other things but you should definitely go give them a try staff and management are very friendly which is a big plus. read more

My favorite chicken. Delicious food. Good! Costumer service Very clean place Everyone should try this place is amazing!! read more

I had the little chicken camperos and the chipotle chicken empanada with the campero rice and beans. Oh man was it good. The chicken was perfectly fried and was so tasty. The empanada was also top notch. For a fast food place they surely delivered. Place was also PACKED. COME TO NEW JERSEY POLLO CAMPERO. read more

I won't bore you with a long drawn out story about why I decided to try this place. I'll get straight to the point. I had the citrus grilled chicken (1/4 chicken, breast and wing), it was seasoned well. Black beans and rice could have used a little more season for my taste but that won't deter me from getting them again. My one potential hang up is that I expected tortillas with my meal but got a roll instead. Over all, this could be my chicken spot vise KFC. read more

I have been there many times in the past. Always satisfied with their food and service. However, things have changed. #1. Workers were very slow and unorganized. No managerial figure anywhere. #2. They use to have a green and red sauce at the "fixins bar". No more sauces. Very disappointed. #3. Ordered and paid for Flan (dessert). I was told after I paid they didn't have anymore and they wouldn't refund me. They said I could pick something off the menu in its place. Really? So now I have a 4th piece of chicken that I have to eat instead of my dessert. I use to love this place when it 1st opened. Not so much anymore. read more

Not going to lie, a really good chicken place but the waiting time sucks now. Seen folks wait 25 minutes for 4 pieces of chicken. Also, system is always down and takes forever to put in an order. Also, as others have commented the management is kind of in the lacking department. They don't like giving refunds, if you ask for one you either get dirty looks or bad attitude. Food used to be fresh now everything is frozen, empanadas don't taste like anything anymore. And the new campero sauce isn't the same. I don't know about all of you but I don't like these new changes :/ read more

Great food and People. First time coming here, but definitely I will be back. I got 3 pieces fried chicken with a side of camper beans and the Yuca fries, all the door food was delicious. Store was very clean and nicely decorated. read more

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

They had me at guava juice. But their food is tasty and their manager is super nice! My favorites are the grilled chicken, empanadas, campero rice, and thick tortilla chips with self-serve salsa bar. read more

See all

If I'm in the area on Wednesdays I will stop in because they have $1 2pc chicken dark(let n thigh). I snatch two of those and keep it moving. Chicken is pretty good. Definitely worth $2 read more

Awesome chicken, both the fried and rotisserie, great sides too. Tortillas are the only weak part but that's a minor quibble. Skip KFC and Popeye's and head to Pollo Campero! read more

Been here several times, they are always very busy which is a challenge. The fried chicken is pretty good but the grilled is too lemony. I've never seen Spanish place with this type of seasonings. Peruvian seasonings are more of what I was expecting. I think they'd do much better in sales if they changed the grilled chicken recipe. Their fried plantains and yuca are great!! read more

Love the chicken and empanadas. The employees are attentive but a 20 minute wait on a Friday evening and observing a client with a child sitting and then standing on the counter barefoot - hmmmm read more

I don't know what's changed in the last few years but everything in my order was absolutely disgusting

I like there Yucca chips and a nice selection of salsa. They have good corn tortillas and the grlled chicken is nice. It's good for a faster food place. read more

My all-time favorite fast food chicken place. The seasoning on the chicken is perfection. Also really like the Campero beans, and my husband likes the apple soda. Kinda wish they had a location closer to where I live, but then again I kinda don't because I would probably gain 100 pounds and be on Lipitor. read more

I was so excited when this restaurant opened only to be sorely disappointed. The chicken was just mediocre and the sides were awful. Honestly a trip to KFC would have been cheaper and more enjoyable. The only thing they had going for them was the nifty soda machine that you can play with. Never going back there again!! read more

Food was excellent, well seasoned. The service was great with recommendations and smiles. One of the managers noticed we were new to the place and came out from behind the counter to explain the menu to us. The price was very reasonable. The only thing I don't recommend is the dessert. It is not fresh made that day and in containers. Tasted old... read more

Its basically a latin KFC. The service was excellent and they came around three times while eating seeing if I needed anything. Also its pretty neat how the primary language is Spanish because of its location in immigrant rich manassas (but dont worry they all know english as well). read more

My sister and I booked our reservation and then booked our flight to Manassas. We opted for Topolobampo (last time we did Pollo Campero). The summer menu is excellent. The portions were small but offered a substantial feel for the dish. The Trio Trio Trio is must on the order list. My sister and I ordered the 5-course selection. Each of us were more than pleased with our selection - EXCEPT my sister ordered the Lime and the Coconut for dessert. Honestly, the ice cream tasted like fish. It almost ruined the entire meal. When I think of my meal, my first thought is of the ice cream. Still - I would go back in a heartbeat. read more

Not original taste as when I had it in El Salvador Tasted artificial and very expensive for like 2 pieces read more

I purchased a Groupon and ate here for lunch. I ordered grilled, but they gave me fried. I had to literally fight to get my grilled chicken when I gave them my fried chicken plate back. They forgot to give me the corn tortilla as well and tried to charge me; thinking that it was extra. Communication was difficult since they didn't speak English; it took them 10 minutes to get my grilled chicken. The horchata which I had high hopes for was very bland and too watery. I had thicker authentic horchata before at restaurants for an equal amount of price. The corn salad side and cole slaw tasted very bery bad. Wasted money on those two sides. Don't recommend those two at all. I ate a spoonful and did not touch the rest. Yeah, it was that bad. Unlikely to return back. read more

Our first time to eat at Pollo CAMPERO.YUMMY WORTH TRYING VARIETY OF SELECTION. We have decided to become regulars. We were greeted with A SMILE and FRIENDLY SERVICE which is KUDOS FOR US . We explained to MARIO cashier taking our order we were first timers. HE WAS SO PATIENT! WE asked about 2 drinks we found interesting but never have tried We were offered a tasting of each one the guava drink was refreshing and the horchata drink had a yummy cinnamon taste for those who like like cinnamon it's worth trying. We ordered Chicken, beans, yuca and desert. They have an area by the drinks you can get different sauces spicy, mild and lime wedges. The beans were so tasty, if you like cilantro you should try them. The Yuca comes with a great sauce . We tried both the baked and fried Chicken so good to the last bite And to end a perfect meal experience we tried one of their deserts" FLAN "which melts in your mouth, one the best FLANS we have ever tasted. We left SATISFIED and glad we tried it, and can't wait to come back. read more

This is the worst restaurant I have ever been to. My first visit was horrible so I tried going again with someone who actually spoke Spanish and it was still a disaster. I wouldn't recommend this place to the anyone ever!!! I wouldn't even give it one star but I had it in order to write a review read more

I have enjoyed coming to this restaurant without fail. The service the taste the cook everything that they do is simply outstanding. The last time I had food this good I live in El Paso Texas and as you know in Manassas Virginia is not El Paso is a long ways away. But the experience that I've had with Pollo Campero is the best. If you have never tried Latin chicken you do not know what you're missing. I invite anybody they have never had a good chicken to try pollo's chicken not only will you be back but you will make it your favorite place to go. read more

Absolutely love this place. The fried chicken batter is the best I've had. The grilled chicken is juicy and flavorful. The corn salad is out of this world. Most importantly, the staff is super friendly and go out of their way to ensure the customer is satisfied. Liz even brought my son balloon just because and completely made his night. read more

This place has the best chicken in Virginia it's always fresh and the side are delicious .the service is excellent ,Liz is my favorite. Definitely try this place out . read more

I love the food, the costumer service is great. I highly recommend it. Best Latin food in the city

I was leaving a friends house and was lost. This place caught my eye. When I walked in every single person in there was of Hispanic decent.. Yep that's how I knew it was gonna be good and authentic. (If I go into a Mexican restaurant and I don't see many Mexicans that's a sign the cuisine is not authentic so I walk right out) I had the grilled chicken, plantains, black beans and rice and fried chicken and 4 not tres leches cake. My food was served with a corn tortilla and tortilla chips. The grilled chicken was to die for.. It was seasoned and marinated to a T. The fried chicken was good but I'm a fried chicken snob so I can't say it was up to my standards. The black beans were seasoned nicely. Now about the cake.... Gag gag and gag.. It had several globs of artificial caramel on it that over powered the cake. The leche was thick instead of milky. I didn't like this cake at all but the chicken made up for it. Check this place out u would really enjoy it! read more

So disappointing. We ordered two kids and one adult me to dine in. They gave us number and we waited for good 20 minutes then when the food came it was the wrong order. We had to wait another 15 minutes to get the meal. Never will be back to his establishment again. read more

Someone below said "latins are not expert at fried chicken". Well APPARENTLY THEY ARE. This is the best fried chicken hands down that I've ever had, not especially greasy and the skin is addictive. The tacos are also flavorful little masterpieces. The tres leche cake is great. My wife likes the plantains. I can't vouch for the whole menu, because we keep eating the same things, or for anyone's idea of authenticity. i do know that you can get a great flavorful little meal here. It beats Chipotle or Cafe Rio, for sure. read more

Love it. I don't know how they pack that much flavor into a bite of chicken. You get two pieces of chicken, a side (I recommend the Campero beans), a roll or tortillas, and a drink for just over $5. They also have family packs and tacos. You also get free chips if you ask for them and they have a salsa bar with a few different choices of self serve salsa. It takes a little while to get the food sometimes because of the crowd, but it is worth the wait. Every time I have eaten here, the manager came through the dining area to check on everyone to make sure everything is good. I've got no complaints. read more

Been there three times and all three times they did not have any grilled chicken. This place ONLY serves chicken. So, I feel that it is very strange that they never have grilled chicken. All three times, I was ordering at normal lunch hours and a normal dinner time. They must never make any chicken ahead of time. Also, I was told that it would be a 30 min wait if we wanted the grilled each time. read more

My first time, the chicken was alright, the plantains were very good and some kind of corn salad was good. I was greatly disappointed in the service. The wait staff took forever to put my order of 2 pcs with 2 sides together. I watched as the wait staff handled food without gloves and constantly touching her hair by pushing it behind her ears. Saw someone run the back of their hand/arm across her nose. Get some hair nets and gloves for crying out loud! It was my first and last time at this location. read more

The food was good and cost efficient. We ordered the food food delivery and our order didn't arrive correctly. Overall it was flavorful and good. We ordered grilled chicken, chicken bites, yucca, and rice. Also the empanadas. read more

I like the chicken from Pollo Campero better than any other fried chicken place but one of their newer menu options, the empanadas, definitely has my attention. They offer three versions, bean and cheese, citrus chicken, and spicy chicken. I have had both chicken varieties and they are delicious. Of course they are not as good as homemade empanadas but for a chain restaurant they are great. I love that Pollo Campero has begun to expand their menu past just regular fried chicken, although that was enough to make them famous. Their chicken tenders, grilled chicken, empanadas, and yucca fries are what keeps me coming back, when the rest of my family eats their regular fried chicken. I recommend 3 empanadas and an order of yucca fries for a meal. Also, don't forget the salsa's. My favorites are the spicy green tomatillo and smoky red chipotle salsa. They round out the flavors of the chicken and add a little zing to the empanadas. read more
