The entrance is a bit unassuming, but once you step inside, it opens up into a gorgeous, modern dining room with an incredible view

Of course. Here is a somewhat concise, rewritten review based on your feedback: --- Pollo Campero offers a uniquely distinct flavor that truly sets it apart in the fast-food chicken landscape. While the reigning champion on my list remains Gus's Famous Fried Chicken in Memphis for its unparalleled spice profile, Pollo Campero holds its own with a delicious and different taste. I'd confidently place it a solid 2nd or 3rd in my personal rankings, making it a top-tier choice I would happily choose again. read more

The store its dirty and the food not flavor. The yuca its good. The bathroom dirty. The chicken its 3/10

Coming from someone who hates fast food, I love it here. I order grilled chicken and platanos every time and this place has never failed me. The horchata is average but great if you're desperate. Customer service is above average and the place is extremely clean, which I love. 10/10 read more

Service in the food was really good. Definitely a treat visiting Los Angeles. Great atmosphere.

Great food and even better service I had the chicken sandwich The fried pickles were amazing And followed that up withe the Reese Peanut Butter Custard Off The Hook! Thanks for the amazing experience Mark read more

I wanted an old favorite -- fried chicken -- but I also wanted something different. So I stopped by El Pollo Compero, finding it to be a refreshing and different Central American take on the fast food fried chicken that we eat all the time. Great flavor and variety of chicken, from outstanding nuggets that rival Chick-fil-A to bone-in frjed and grilled chicken. I love their charro-style beans as well as their rice and yucca fries. The service on this visit was cheerful and excellent, highlighted by Lourdes and Ricardo. BTW, I noticed that their health department score from an inspection 2 weeks ago was a perfect 100. I will be back. read more

I decided to try this place because I noticed it when I ate at the Majestic next door. This is a fast casual place. Think Jollibee without a huge mascot and Hispanic Influence instead of a Philippine influence. I have to say, this place hit every note when it comes to Fried chicken. I ordered a 2 piece, but the person behind the counter ordered a three piece. I was trying to order two thighs instead but not an issue. Then I got the sweet plantains and mashed potatoes. I also decided to get the Fried chicken sandwich to try. First, the chicken was super juicy. Has some crunch from the breading but the brining they use with their chicken was flavorful and I could actually taste the seasoning. It's usually always meat and breading for most chicken spots. Chances are they add some adobo and that's the reason this taste better than KFC. It's not really hard though. The mashed potatoes were ordinary. Can't really go wrong with that. The Sweet Plantains are great. They are just like how my mom makes them. For an extra zing, lightly salt then to get a savory flavor kick in the mouth. For the chicken sandwich. It took a while to get the sandwich. I thought they forgot about it, but then they brought it out. Seems like they freshly fry these on demand. The result is that it was just as juicy and flavorful as the base fried chicken. It was so piping hot, that it burned my tongue. The only downside is the choice of picked used in their recipe. They used sweet brined pickles or Butter Pickles. Because of the sweet taste it didn't really meld with the sandwich, so unless you like sweet pickles, I recommend removing them or ordering without. Overall, it was a great experience. 10/10 would come again. read more

First time trying this location. Ordered online and got an 8 piece chicken with 6 empanadas, side of the beans and 2 dinner rolls. Although a bit delayed (I picked up in store) Everything was hot upon things being ready. Manager even noticed I was waiting and offered me a drink on the house. Nice touch. Only docking a star because of the extended wait time. I would recommend this location if you are in the Marietta area. read more

I wanted to try the offerings at this Guatemalan Chicken Chain, and I wasn't disappointed. For me the grilled chicken was the star of the show., but I understand that the fried chicken is the variety tof hat they sell the most of, and it was enjoyable too, but I like the marinade of the other with the citrus , cumin and latin oregano, or whatever they put in it. I went back and again and tried ordering the grilled chicken drive-through at around 8pm one night and they were out of it, but it wasn't a big deal other than I was stuck in their drive-thru lane and had to wait for a lengthy order ahead of me to complete before I could leave teh business and go elsewhere for dinner on that particular night. My takeaway for others is try the grilled chicken, but walk in to order it, if you aren't in the mood for fried chicken, or you could get stuck in the drive-thru lane for a while. read more

I spent two months in Guatemala when I was in graduate school and had an amazing time. One of the most popular restaurants there is Pollo Campero. The people love their fried chicken, and I thought that it was even better than KFC. Well, when we first moved to Atlanta they had a location in Roswell. It closed many years ago. When I was driving through Marietta, I was shocked to see another Pollo Campero location, so I had to stop and try the food. When I was placing my order, I told the cashier that I had eaten at their restaurant in Antigua, Guatemala. She looked surprised, and she told me that she was originally from Guatemala. She also told me that she preferred the food back home. So, if you're looking to try something a little different, stop by the Pollo Campero in Marietta. The chicken is good and different from the competition. They also have some unique side dishes, such as fried plantains. They also offer a cinnamon horchata drink. The employees are friendly and the food is good, but it doesn't taste exactly like the fried chicken in Guatemala. If you ever want to try the real deal, plan a trip to Guatemala someday. You'll discover wonderful people, food, language and culture. read more

Different, flavorful, but nothing to write home about. I dropped in to grab a quick bit to eat, the service was rushed, this was may first experience so It took me while to order and the lady was "over it" lol. The food was ok, by the time I made it home the grill chicken was sweaty ( wet ). It seems like a healthier option, but I don't know if I will try it again. read more

Another delicious chicken spot. Located off of Cobb Parkway, Pollo Campero is now open for dine-in. Don't want to eat in, then do the drive-thru or take it to go. The staff is friendly, the place is clean, and plenty of tables. Stop in and give it a try! read more

chicken slimey with odd taste. fries tasted stale. over priced. cashier very short and cold. wouldnt come back EUGH!

Went right before closing which I really hated to do to them, but I was famished... I ordered the 2 pc chicken combo, fried with the Campero rice and Campero beans. It was hot, fresh and delicious. It definitely hit the spot and the customer service was good as well! read more

We were excited to try this place... However, the chicken had too much seasoning that you could not taste the chicken. We tried both grilled and fried. Unfortunately, they put the fried chicken on the bottom of the rake out container so it became wet, and not crispy fried chicken. However, the beans and plantains were good. Two stars instead of one in hopes they will refine their seasoning and their process for take out orders. We really wanted to try the fried chicken (crispy). read more

I was searching for a place that sold arroz con pollo because I didn't feel like preparing it at home and this place came up in my suggestions. This place does NOT sell arroz con pollo (thanks Yelp, thanks Google), but I was intrigued so I decided to stop by. First off, I'm not sure how I managed to miss this place all this time. I've been to that Walmart hundreds of times, Sonny's Barbecue, Popeye's 1000 Degrees Pizza, Chick-Fil-A, but never noticed it. But I digress ... I had the 6 count nuggets, no side and the chicken sandwich, no pickles with a side of Campero rice. I wanted to try the corn salad but they had sign posted stating that they were out of it. The cashier offered me a complimentary beverage and told me there was a 6 minute wait on the nuggets and gave me the option of pulling around once two cars appeared behind me in the drive thru. It took quite a bit longer than 6 minutes for him to bring the food out, but he threw in a few Yucca fries (I'd mentioned that I'd never had them and I was waffling back and forth about trying them). Overall - I enjoyed my food. My nuggets were very good - with the exception of one that somehow came out rubbery and undercooked. My chicken sandwich was pretty good. I 'lifted the hood' to take a look and saw that they'd put pickles on it anyway so it did have a little bit of that dreadful pickle brine taste. I think it would be nice if they offered lettuce and tomato. I actually ate the sandwich later that evening and ate the rice even later that night. The rice was 'ok' - but it seemed as though it was missing something. I'm pretty sure I would have enjoyed it more if I'd eaten it with the grilled chicken. No stars deducted for the wait time because 1) the cashier / customer service was so sweet and accommodating and 2) everything appears to be cooked fresh to order. They are a little pricey for 'fast food' but it is 100% real chicken (as opposed to pressed, ground chicken). Someone compared it to KFC and I don't get that comparison AT all. The batter is light and crispy. It's very good batter, but it's but nothing like KFC Original or KFC Extra Crispy. Not saying it's better or worse, just saying they are completely different coatings. Now that I've tried it, I'll be back to try the bone-in chicken fried chicken and the grilled chicken. I hope the corn salad is available when I come back. read more

Tried it out for something different. Chicken was good but that's about it. They need to work on some things.

I was so excited to try from the reviews. I got the 2 piece grilled with coleslaw. I will be straightforward: 1. Chicken was not bad but lackluster. 2. I was hoping the slaw was sweet like KFC but it waa savory and too mayonnaisey for me. 3. Roll was good. Since I only ate the chicken and the roll, it just wasn't a meal to write home about. Disappointing. read more

Horribly slow service. Waited in the drive through for 30 minutes my meal should be comped. This is unacceptable service and I have no way to leave. They're very slow and disorganized. They need new management. read more

The fried chicken is excellent and so are the sides. However I will say that the prices are a little ridiculous. They are even higher than the picture posted of the menu. Apparently they have increased the prices since that photo. Drinks are not included with the meal. I have to deduct stars for the price. read more

Pollo Campero Marietta - Grilled chicken to the left, fried chicken on the right. Both are great. - Latin American Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

Excellent Yuca Fries, great staff, very friendly. Ricardo is so nice and professional from my first visit, in 2020

Customer service top notch, Mia very sweet. The food was delicious, very seasoned. I bought more to take home. The restaurant was clean. Thank you for wanting to work and serve. Keep up the good work. read more

Visited through the drive thru, ordered grilled chicken with a side salad. The chicken was very tasty, and the side salad was really good as well. The drive thru was not a long wait and the order taker was very friendly and helpful. Price was reasonable. I was pleasantly surprised as to the food. Service was great too. I will definitely be back. For a fast food place it is very good. read more

I love this place! Every time I go it is spectacular service and today was more of the same. The young lady at the window with the long blue nails was extra helpful. We had to wait because of the amount of food my family ordered but she was patient and so helpful with making sure we had everything we needed. The chicken empanadas, corn salad and rice are my favorite go to's and the chicken is always fresh and deliciously seasoned. Thank you all for a great dinner! read more

It was exactly the flavor experience I was hoping for. Both the fried and grilled chicken are excellent! I think the grilled chicken is marinated with something similar to a mojo criollo marinade, then grilled to perfection! The fried chicken had a unique flavor that is not duplicated in the fast food chicken market. The four sides I have tried are delicious as well, and served in good portions. The only item I will probably not order again is the empanadas. Very tasty (especially with the dipping sauces) but a little on the skimpy side. :-) I have been back several times and would definitely recommend. read more

Chipotle is way better. Over spiced, dry, bland meat, mash potatoes tasted old also. Moe's next door so that's an option!

The staff was attentive, but I love guacamole and the gave me pico de gallo as the guacamole was still frozen...! Rice and beans were good, but the chicken color was grayish and the texture rubbery. Disappointed would be an understatement. Thank God they brought out some guacamole or my lunch would have been extremely poor as I could not eat the chicken! read more

I liked the chicken. I've eaten this chicken a lot in El Salvador and I'm glad to see it expanding up here. Yuca fries were good too

It was kind of unfair they charged me more on family combo just because they didnt have employees in the back . They should respect the prices . read more

Love the grilled chicken (a lot of flavor) and yucca fries with signature sauce. I like to get an empanada too. Friendly staff. Sign up for the app for great rewards and coupons. read more

I don't understand the hype about this place. The chicken was a little dry. There were a lot of interesting decorations on the walls. The employees was mediocre at best. Overall experience: 3 stars. read more

First time going and I got their campero bowl with a side of plantains. Nothing fancy or anything but they're a step up from pollo tropical in my opinion. Worth going to if you're in the area and looking for a place to eat lunch. read more

The chicken is tasteless. The rice is over cooked. But, the Yuca fries are good. Not coming back here.

OMG! This place has the BEST FRIED AND BAKE CHICKEN That I've tasted so far. The Sides are Delicious as well (excluding) the mashed potatoes

The food is not good, in my case I did not like it, also there is no kindness to treat the customers also they treat the employees very badly the managers are rude the rudest is that lady who has in her badge called Carmen, Blanca and Lourdes do not recommend this place. No les recomiendo este lugar maltratan a los empleados y clientes bien feo read more

I went through the drive-through on Saturday 1/15/2022. The worker at the window was so kind and cheerful. I appreciated her kindness. The empanadas were great! Keep up the great work! read more

Love the empanadas w/their fabulous special sauce-my husband raves about the chicken. They have a corn salad that is unusual and tasty. A pleasant change from the same old same old side dishes usually offered at drive up chicken places, although they have standard fare as well. Love the coleslaw-it's the creamy kind and once I add a bit of sugar it's perfect-I like it sweet. Not really in our neighborhood but it's destination dining for us-worth the drive, it's so good! It has a unique quality not mirrored anywhere else. Great service, generous portions , all good! read more

I'm a road warrior salesman that's lived and traveled across the country. I've traveled across the US and stopped to eat chicken everywhere. This is the best fried chicken hands down anywhere. A decade ago I only enjoyed this when visiting a friend or customer in Norcross. It's beautifully fried, succulent and flavorful. I'll never eat Popeyes and definitely not KFC over here. I met one of the owners inside this location when they first opened. Nice lady. Chili beans are delicious and yucca fries are a nice alternative to regular fries. read more
