Food tasted excellent with the exception of the rice. It was too bland. Mix the beans in with the rice and the taste shall be discovered. Mojo chicken was juicy and tender. Ripe plantains were delicious, as well. And true to the experience it tasted even better the next day read more

For fast-food food, Pollo Campero is a great choice for chicken. The food is definitely solid and on top of that, the staff is friendly and the inside is bright and cheerful. Again, for fast-food, their chicken was definitely very good. If you are in the area, stop by this location (conveniently located on East Colonial Drive). I am confident that you will like it as much as I did. read more

First time trying pollo campero. I got the 6 piece nugget meal. It came with 6 decent size nuggets, a roll, and one side but no drink and that was $11. The flavor was decent but it was a bit salty. I think it's way over priced. I probably wouldnt try them again especially since there isn't a location close to me . The staff was kind and service was good. Short wait time. I went through the drive through so I cant speak to the inside/ambiance but it looks like a newer restaurant. read more

Pollo Campero - Nuggets and classic sauce - Chicken Shop Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Campero must mean "cooked a while ago" in German. Probably stopping in at 3p on a weekend isn't the best choice for freshness, but the flavors were spot on, so I'll cut them a break from a 3 star review. The chicken combo meal special was $12 and came with a chicken sandwich, fries, 4 nuggets, sauce, and a drink. It was a good deal in comparison to their regular menu prices. I didn't want fries, but this deal had no substitutes. (Now I have Chef's song from South Park in my head) The chicken sandwich was fresh and crispy and delicious with a nice piece of chicken and pickles... but ohhhhh those pickles... blah! They were sweet or bread and butter or something that I didn't want near me. Get that pickle out of my mouth quick! (Don't actually yell that in the store) The fries and nuggets had much to be desired though. They had potential but they were probably made way before they were presented. Like the sandwich, the chicken was moist and flavorful, but the breading was a bit stale. Same with the fries, the first few were OK, but they rest sucked. Maybe they do that thing where they serve stale fries and sprinkle some fresh ones on top. They also have grilled chicken (on the bone) which was pretty good and flavorful and tender and juicy. I wish they had a grilled chicken sandwich, but if you want grilled, you'll have to eat it off the bone. It's kinda pricey but I can see myself going back. They have Horchata which you can refill yourself (danger alert as that is liquid crack), the flavors are bold and good, but they have to do something about the freshness. read more

Pollo Campero was a pleasant surprise when it comes to fast food fried chicken. It's an easy to find restaurant with good amounts of parking in the lot. The person taking my order greeted me in Spanish, but was capable of taking my order in English as well. The place is clean and tidy and there's honestly nothing to compain about. Getting into the food - I ordered a 3 piece dark meat with fried yuca. I specifically asked for 2 thighs and 1 leg, and they were happy to accommodate. Every order comes with a bun. It was all very delicious. The meat was juicy and the yuca was tasty. I do wish the chicken was slightly bigger or they served a larger portion of the sides. Overall, it's a great choice if you're in the area, need something fast, and are in the mood for fried chicken. read more

Pollo Campero - 3 piece dark meat - Chicken Shop Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Flavor: I go for the fried chicken, yuca fries, Mac & cheese, and their custom empanada. Always tasty, sometimes a little heavy on the fried chicken seasoning (tastes salty) but easily fixed with the side roll or bite of yuca fry or Mac & cheese. Will try the chicken sandwich soon. Always seeing people with trays of chicken ... that's what's up. Service: friendly and helpful staff! Made sure to tell me about an empanada deal so always appreciate the heads up. I see other reviews with drive-thru experiences, but I've only always ate-in. Other notes: bright colors all around are fun Location & Parking: always easy to find and enough parking Price: good deals, average price for chicken these days Is it whats up? It's good easy and quick food read more

Came here for the chicken, and I purchased an empanada meal, as well. Empanadas are so so expensive nowadays, and they're not even always good. These, though, were super cheap, and they were Very good. Flakey pastry stuffed to the brim with their signature chicken filling. Very well seasoned. Very savory. I'm still craving them. It came with a side of mac 'n' cheese that was excellently cheesy. Soft noodles, and paired well with the table Cholula that was available to use. Overall, this international fast food chain was very good, and I wish American fast food places took notes. read more

Pros: Very nice and clean ambiance. Bright colors, big inspiring phrases inked all over the wall, it was really nice in there. It was counter service, and the employees were very nice. Food came out very timely. The empanadas that we purchases were awesome. Very flakey and flavorful, and at an excellent price, too! Cons: Their mac 'n' cheese could have been a little more al dente. It felt like their noodles and their cheese were all one big mashup. Tips: Get the empanadas! read more

First time at Pollo Campero, and it was...interesting. I checked their website before heading over, wanting to be quick in the drive-through, and not be "that guy." I saw the Half Chicken Special listed right on top. Perfect, I thought. Pollo is a fairly new fast food place located next to the Johnny Clean carwash, with bright festive paint and patio seating. I pulled up to the drive-through, and the order taker acted like I was asking for something from Mars when I mentioned the Half Chicken Special. Apparently, it doesn't exist. Okay, fine. Not one to argue and starving, I switched to the 4-piece grilled. Then, I was told they had no grilled chicken. If I wanted grilled, it would be a 30-minute wait. The whole point of a drive-through, for me, is speed. Especially after leg day. LEG DAY! 30 minutes? That's a long time. I understand this place is relatively new, so they may be working through some issues. I said thanks, but no thanks. I do enjoy grilled chicken, so I'll probably give Pollo Campero another try in the future, hoping they've smoothed things out. But for now, it was disappointing. Two stars for now, with potential for more later. read more

Pollo Campero - The special that apparently doesn't exist. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Easy, fast, and delicious. I will sometimes get this on the way home from work. Their prices are reasonable and the seasoning on the chicken is good. As a bonus, their drinks are really yummy. A good alternative to the regular soda. My go to is their Horchata but the Jamaica is also refreshing. read more

I think this place was great. It was amazing value for the price. There was a lot of protein in each portion. The food had a home taste and wasn't heavy and greasy which is rare for a chain restaurant. Their hour lemonades were nice too. This food won't blow your mind with flavor, but it delivered exactly what I expected it to deliver. read more

The food here is nice and fresh. The place is kept clean! You can get a free 2 piece if you complete the survey on your receipt. The horchata is good, too! Free refills. read more

Always good food when I come here. The chicken has a phenomenal flavor. Ambiance is nice and chill. Service is good too. However, today I was in the mood for just wings. They were not able to accommodate that request due to receiving pre-portioned packages from corporate and unable to break them up due to leaving them with predetermined combos they cannot break. Ok. Whatever. What I would never say, as the manager told me today, was "If you want only wings go to Buffalo Wind Wings or Wingstop." Dear Manager, consider more wisely your choice of words to your customers. You may get what you wish for and wonder why business is slow. P.S. Listen to understand, don't listen to respond. Thank you. read more

I picked up dinner and realized at home that One of my sides was not in the bag. I went back with my receipt and they apologized and gave me extra chicken to make up for the error. Wonferful customer service and the food is so delicious! read more

I'm from The Bronx & I recall the night before Pollo Campero opened there, the lines wrapped around the block. So when I saw the sign on E. Colonial, I was excited. Waited patiently, and finally, I had it! I like that there's a drive-thru, although with how it took to get my food, I don't know how the drive-thru works. It's fast food but not THAT fast food. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. There is parking both in the front and on the side. I ordered the 2-piece meal, leg & thigh served with a side of your choosing, I chose yucca fries & a dinner roll for $9.20. For the chicken, you also have the choice of fried or grilled. I chose fried. This did not include a drink. I went with the Hibiscus water, $3.00. The prices, in my opinion, The person who took my order was efficient. Pointed the options, like grilled vs fried. And it's not fast food, we waited a good 10mins maybe for our food. The food: The chicken flavor was there. It had great seasoning, and it was juicy. Do wish the skin was crispier, but it could have gotten less crispy on my 10-minute drive home. The yucca fries were dry and hard. In fact, they tasted as if they were old. The dinner roll, tall & fluffy but flavorless. Really, the star of the show is the flavor of the chicken and how well cooked it is. Not greasy at all. I love seasoned food. I may be back for some more chicken only. read more

Tried this Guatemalan fast food place for the first time after finding out on Yelp that it had come to Orlando. The spicy chicken sandwich was full of flavor and had stronger seasoning than the same offering from Pollo Tropical. The heat from the sandwich came from cayenne and habanero sauce. We also had the fries and a grilled chicken wing, which was pretty good. Two- to four-piece chicken dishes are available fried or slow-roasted grilled. Next time we'll skip the bread and order one of those. read more

Wow! Stopped here for the first time today and the roasted chicken is SO FLAVORFUL! Definitely coming back!

The nuggets are actually quite good, although they were out of half the dipping sauces. My issue is more with the pricing. A 9-nugget combo with a drink came out to $16.08 with tax. That seems truly insane considering other chicken places with comparable meals - like Chick Fil A and PDQ -- are selling the same meal for much, much less. I even downloaded their app and gave it all of my info in hopes of finding a coupon. Sadly, it gave me nothing. It's making me spend $100 before I get any kind of reward. Again, most places have app incentives to make it worthwhile. I fail to see how they will maintain a consistent customer base at these very steep and unusual prices. read more

First time trying this place as I always drive by it. Stopped by on a Thursday night and it wasn't too busy. But took about 10 mins til someone actually came and took my order. Got a 4 piece meal. Right off the bat I see about 4 other groups waiting for their orders which is not a good sign. 15-20 mins later food came out for some reason I got 4 pieces of dark meat so i asked and the lady said oh we had a lot of online orders so it's going to be a wait for a white meat...so I'm like okay guess my order is less important? I usually dark meat better anyways but at least ask first? Alot of their items were out too like horchata, tortillas. Which I wasn't told when I ordered them. Positive note chicken was flavorful and juicy. Place is very understaffed but 15 min wait for a 4 piece meal is kind of ridiculous. read more

The fried chicken is amazing, some of the best I've ever had. Highly recommended! I come at least once a week. The sides are a bit hit or miss, though. The plantains and coleslaw are great, but a couple others are kinda mid. I also like the drink choices. Mango is my favorite, but the horchata is also delicious. read more

This is the best seasoned chicken over them all. I recommend this place because they have excellent service. The food is great.

Good food, quick service, clean place and everything came out fresh. Deserving of 5 stars.
