This is the second Pollo Campero location and truly enjoyed the meal then. Tonight I got the 3 piece fried meal with beans, plantains, fries and the trio empanadas. The drive thru employee gave great service. Got my food and it smelled great. I couldn't wait to get home. It still hot. Took the first bite and I was somewhat disappointed. Now I can admit I had a cold before that affected my tastebuds. The chicken tasted little burned and a little tasteless. I had to let mister try it so I could be sure. He sad it did had a slight burn taste to it but it taste fine for him. Now, the empanadas is a whole other story. They was the bomb. The perfect amount of cheese and meat. Very good crust. My plantains wasn't sweet, but the beans and fries was good. Now, I will go back to get another meal. read more

I really don't know how I haven't reviewed this place... I've been a customer at this location for more than 10 years! I first went here to check it out when I started my first year of teaching at a school down the street about 6 minutes away. I rolled up, ordered their 20 pcs dark for $20 deal, got it in about 5 minutes from ordering, it was hot, crispy, and juicy- super fragrant and unbelievably delicious. The way I have introduced Pollo Campero to other people has been that you can literally eat the bones and not fully know that you're eating them. It's really that good. The fried chicken is to-die-for, but the grilled chicken is undeniably fantastic as well! The spice rub that they use (and clearly they marinate) is something else! I. LOVE. THEIR. CHICKEN. Now, the rest of their menu is kinda whatever, but the chicken is so good- I don't even need anything else! They used to serve the chicken with tortillas and their special sauce. These days you need to ask for that stuff and they charge extra for the sauce. The empanadas are somewhat dry. The Mac cheese tastes manufactured. The rice is rice. The refried beans are refried beans- if they could crack the code on the Popeyes recipe for the beans and rice they'd really be throwing me for a loop (wishful thinking). The drinks are either sodas or some fruit drinks- normal stuff...but they also have horchata (pretty good for a fast food joint)! I don't recommend anything but the chicken. The chicken is AMAZING. Go get you some, but before you so- go ahead and download the app so you can earn points. It's totally worth your time because you can easily order ahead and just pick-up- AND you're DEFINITELY going back. Want to try the chicken there? You can! They have parking and there's tables inside and outside to eat. I don't recommend eating outside because it's loud and right next to Jimmy Carter Blvd, but they have a decent seating situation inside for couples, families, and mid-larger groups. They offer free refills on all their drinks in-store and they play music (depends who's running the shift as to what the music choice is). I don't do chicken from anywhere except Popeye's or Pollo Campero. That has GOT to tell you SOMETHING. I've included some pictures of the app and I showed a video that lets you read their current special offers too. Definitely hit this place up! I promise it will be a place you go to more in the future- if not regularly! read more

Love this place! The empanadas are amazing. The fried chicken to me was better than the baked, but my family really enjoyed it and will eat here again very soon! read more

Ordene pollo y estoy Esperando Mas de una hora Para comer y todavia no esta listo mi experiencia peor en pollo campero

first time trying this chicken. reminds me of original KFC fried. very moist and delicious. maybe slight old grease taste. everyone was busy and attentive. place really clean unlike Popeyes and kfc. Person who took my ordder could teach lessons in customer service. I am black and staff was Hispanic. Best customer service in Atlanta. No more poop eyes for my money with uninformed staff whose hair is questionable for food service. read more

Ordered the 20 piece meal, and was told it has to be leg and thigh only... they explained they were out of white meat, I pointed to an entire tray of breast and wings, and they explained was already "taken"... I asked how long the wait would be for more to be made, they again told me it has to be dark meat... after a few more try's they finally said "20 minutes"... people were nice, but did not understand English very well and were overall not on point... Very clean location however read more

Finally stopped by to order take out. Service was good and food was fresh. The chicken is delicious and more of a homemade style which I love, but if you want the fried chicken texture then I would go to Popeyes or somewhere else. We tried the yuca fries and they were alright. My fiancé loved it tho. The empanada was also alright. This place is a little pricey if you compare it but it was a overall okay experience. OMG, i just realized they forgot my mac n cheese... lol. Make sure u check your order. read more

This place has some seriously good food! I need to start coming here more often instead of pouring money into other mediocre or subpar fast food chains. I have never had Guatemalan food, nor have I ever had Yucca, so it was cool to try both here for the first time. One thing I love about this place is the customer service. I have been here about twice so far and both times, there was a line at the drive-thru. However, that did not stop the workers from being friendly, patient, and respectful - night and day difference from the Popeye's on Norcross-Tucker Road. My fiancé and I tried the whole citrus grilled chicken, mashed potatoes, and Yucca fries so far. Everything is great! The chicken is so flavorful and juicy. The potatoes actually taste homemade with chunks still in it - so comforting! Finally, the Yucca fries kind of sneak up on you in their addictiveness. I would recommend getting extra sides, as they are a little smaller than their competitors' large sizes, but well worth it - quality over quantity any day. I had no idea that this chain was all over the US too, as they do not have it back home in Hawaii. I'll continue to come here for the excellent service and fresh food made with love - highly recommend it, if you've been sleeping on it! read more

I traveled more than forty miles to visit this location because I had received a coupon for my birthday. However, it took eight minutes for me to place my order and the staff appeared to be more interested in talking to each other than serving the customer. After I received my to-go order, I asked for some ketchup, but the lady at the counter only gave me four packets of ketchup for my twelve pieces of chicken. When I asked for more ketchup, she declined, and even the manager informed me that they don't provide ketchup for just ordering chicken. To make matters worse, when I checked my bag as I was driving away, I noticed that I was given only two napkins and my variety pack of chicken did not contain any chicken breasts, which are my favorite pieces. They had twelve chances to include them. read more

This establishment no longer deserves even a single star. I used to cherish this place, visiting frequently with my father during my childhood. However, my most recent experience was deeply disappointing. After they made an error with my order, I called and was assured that the issue would be resolved. When I arrived to have it corrected, I was told to wait momentarily. Despite standing there for approximately 20 minutes, I was completely ignored. The staff did not acknowledge me and showed no intention of addressing my concerns.As someone who works as a cashier, I approached the situation with patience and understanding, knowing that mistakes happen. However, the blatant disregard and rude behavior I experienced were unacceptable. This was, without question, the worst service I have ever encountered.I will not be returning, and I hope my review helps others make an informed decision before considering this establishment. read more

I never ate here before but I was surprisingly impressed. The young lady at the drive through helped me with my order as I had questions. I ended up purchasing the whole chicken with a side of rice and beans. She also upsold me on 6 chocolate chip cookies which were quite delicious. She broke down what the drink Horchata included and even gave me a sample. The chicken was tender and seasoned well. I would highly recommend. read more

Great Chicken,but it's expensive.I never ate a thigh like I ate that one.It definitely was the best I've ever had.Don't think I'm going back to Popeyes. read more

Been hearing good things from the locals (i.e. the LatinXs) about this joint and finally had 'em - they were as good as I've been hearing. The fried chix were good, and they looked and tasted like they use pressure frying techniques that makes the skins/outer flesh crisp yet chewy (in nice ways), the old ways I had growing up. Good sides that went good combos with the chix. They missed my yucca fries when the bag was opened, but I deserve that cuz I didn't check what I got when the order came out - a normal routine you should remember by when you are in GA. Will return soon. read more

Pollo Campero is legit! I'm a Carolina girl and I've never even heard of this so we decided to try it on a whim. In this COVID world we must address safety! I'm not sure if the dining area is open but drive through is and all employees were gloves and masked. The food! I got the 3 price chicken fried with friends fries and empanadas. The chicken empanadas were WINNERS! They were very good!! Crust was flakey and the flavor of the chicken filling was on point. I wish I would have gotten the empanada meal. The fried chicken was also good! You can tell it's well marinated and the flavor is Latin American and pretty good. They also offer a grilled option that my husband got but he said it wasn't better than the fried. I got the fries as my side and would definitely pick another one my next visit. They offer horchata and some mango juice (really mango flavored soda I think) for drinks along with the other regular soda options. Overall this place is good! I would definitely be back! read more

This place really surprised me, decided to order food from here on a whim and I must say it was a lot better than I expected ! I didn't visit the restaurant so I can't speak on the service or the facility but I'd definitely give the food 3 stars. The chicken was nice and crispy and seasoned pretty well. I saw a review that compared it to Popeyes but I can't agree with that... but if you're in the area, craving chicken then this is a good place to go. As for the sides, the rolls were good, Mashed potatoes needed a little salt but otherwise good, and the fries were okay. Overall this probably isn't a place that I would go to on a regular but I would try it again if I was on time crunch or didn't want to drive anywhere else ! read more

I don't give fast food places 5 stars but this place is an exception to me. Its the Spanish Chick-fil-A. The drive-thru line swings around the place every time I'm in the area. And the chicken is delicious. I lean towards the fried chicken myself but grilled is an option. The sides are great too, with rice, beans, sweet plantains, yuca fries and the usual suspects like fries and mashed potatoes. You also get dinner rolls or tortillas with the family meals. The downside of Pollo Campero is the lack of more locations. It's the only fast food that I want to go to for good food and not out of necessity or time constraints. If only the line were shorter, but I guess that would be bad for business. read more

This place is great. I've always gone through the drive thru when visiting Pollo Campero. Today was a nice day, I didn't have any plans, and my son and I were riding to grab a bite. We decided to go and dine on the patio here and it was a great choice. I ordered the 3 piece grilled chicken with plantains and a mango drink, and my son ordered the chicken bites with fries and a soda. The cashier, Natalia, was super friendly. She brought our food out to us and it was fresh, hot, and delicious. The chicken is really flavorful with a slightly charred seasoned skin. They serve it with limes to squeeze over it and that takes it up a notch for sure. The plantains were cooked perfectly. They were sweet, but not too sweet, they weren't overlooked and mushy like a lot of places serve them. These were just right! Then the mango drink was really good as well and the perfect way to end the meal. Nice and sweet! I'll definitely be back! read more

I'm not getting any younger so I decided to start actually crossing things off my bookmarked list. Today was Pollo Campero. You will get a solid meal here. I had the 1/2 fried chicken with campero beans and campero rice. If you do not like cilantro don't bother coming here. Luckily I do. The most dominant flavor you will get from the rice and beans is cilantro. Not a bad thing, but definitely the most prominent taste. It's one of those things that starts off as not bad but becomes way too much halfway through. The fried chicken was OK. Again, I was raised on southern food so I don't judge harshly. My Aunt Lola, God rest her soul, could blow anybody's fried chicken out of the water. I realize now that I was blessed to be able to eat her chicken. But she is no longer on this earth so we must settle for what we have. Their chicken is not calling me back for more... Don't let this review stop you from going as I didn't walk away hungry. This is an acquired taste. I just don't see me acquiring it. read more

Husband and I came here for late breakfast before a long walk with the dog on a trail. We chose to come here because it's an area we seldom come to and also this is a new place for us to try fried chicken. First, the parking here is easy, it has its own lot therefore no worries that you might not be able to find parking. Next there is outdoor seating. We brought our dog with us and if anyone knows, our dog is so big, he cannot be missed. Anyone can see him coming a quarter mile away. So if we can bring our 120lbs dog, all dogs are allowed. We sat outside on the patio, there are only 3 tables that seats 4 each, therefore, be prepared to wait or just go sit in the AC. As for the food, we ordered the fried chicken (dark meat please), the nuggets, and 2 chicken enpanadas. The fried chicken batter was super light, has a little bit of salt to it, the meat was moist. My meal came with 2 corn tortilla and 4 or 5 pieces of fried plantains. Besides it being moist, my chicken did not have the frozen taste. I did not eat the tortillas but the plantains were firm and sweet. Not burnt. I had a bite of the enpanadas, the pale looking flaky pastry was actually very good! It tasted better than it looked. I like the chicken filling, it had a little tang to the taste. Quite good to give the puff a lift! The nuggets would give Chik-fil-A a run for their money. These were size-able chicken pieces, the batter was light again and it was meaty. No processed fast food nuggets. Overall a 4 out of 5 stars, will definitely come back for more chicken. read more

One of the best chicken empanadas I've had in a long time! Golden and flaky on the outside, while the inside is full of flavorful chicken and corn that goozes out the middle. Comes with sour cream and a house sauce that paired great with it. It is a decent size for $2 and change. I also tried the sweet plantain, which were sweet but too mushy for me. I enjoy them fried and crispy. I hear the chicken is popular...they have a family special for $9.99 (similar to Pollo Tropical). If your in a hurry and need a decent drive thru fast food option, this could work! read more

Also, after I shared that it was my first time trying the restaurant, the drive thru person took her time sharing the tasty details of the menu!

First and last time I will ever come to this unprofessional/unorganized establishment. Rude service, didn't have my change, dropped my drink at the window and didn't have any condiments.

Since Church's chicken changed their recipe for their greasy, cheap chicken, we had to look for other alternatives. Popeye's is good but pricey. We settled down for Pollo Campero. So why do I care for greasy, cheap chicken? It's to feed the entire hungry family. Every now and then, I'm broke or don't have time to cook so gotta find some fried chicken. Since half of Jimmy Carter is the Latino joint, thought would try some Pollo Campero. I bought the 20 pieces of dark meat for $19.99 - the family prefers dark meat anyways. I added on two side orders - campero rice & mash potatoes/gravy. Service was quick, went home and ate the chicken. Not bad. Honestly, it's not as flavorful as I would like but what should I expect? This is greasy, cheap chicken. Hubby, however, looooooooved it. He wants to go get more again. I really liked the campero rice, which had the right amount of spices. The mash potato/gravy was good too. So when we're hungry or broke, we will come back! read more

Pollo Campero Norcross - Inside is a salsa, size dish station, you can take several to go - Fast Food Near Me - Norcross, Georgia

So the chicken was great! When I went I didn't see the sauce bar which was kind of sad! The employees helped me out but only when I asked the questions, I had to hope whatever I picked tasted good! The chicken was crisp and the employees let you pick which pieces you want for for whatever combo! The yuca fries were only good at the moment, they didn't stay crisp for long! But I missed them! The flan was not good. The flan base itself was good but the caramel was legit just ice cream caramel and not the good sugar coat. The beans come a little small but I would recommend the beans! The food is good! You should try it out! read more

Super surprised in all the right ways with this Latin Chicken Experience. Authentic in feel and decor and about as nice and service minded as I can expect a quick service establishment to be. I and my party of 12 (yes 12) were especially impressed with our server Ashlan. He was an octopus serving us and about 6 other tables with food delivery, a clean up after we made the mess, an extra chair, and a kind goodbye after we were done welcoming us back again. I was there last Sunday with 2 friends. I came today with my family and another family totaling 12. I can only wonder what next week holds. The food is fresh, SO TASTY, and they have a great array of sides the likes of which I've not seen before. I'll be back...again and again I promise. Well done Ashlan and team! read more

The chicken here is freaking delicious. I don't know what they put in their batter but it's extra crispy and unlike any other fast food chicken batter I've tasted. As for their sides, I've only tried the campero rice and fries. The rice and fries are mediocre, nothing of a wow factor. However, you definitely have to try the chicken here if anything. I'm giving this place a 5 star for the chicken alone. read more
