I love Pollo Campero! It's been awhile and I was craving some slow roasted grilled chicken. Today's visit did not disappoint. I chose a 3-piece meal deal. The chicken had a yummy citrus grilled taste. The roll was soft and paired well. For my side I ordered the campero beans. The pinto beans are always so well seasoned. The beans have a delicious flavor combination from the spices. For my mom she loves fried chicken. I ordered a leg and wing for her. It was fried nicely. Her side was rice and she was happy with it. Service was good and they had my order right! Ambiance I can't say as I went through the drive-thru today. Overall I enjoyed my meal. The chicken was very good. I'm still a FAN! read more

IMO, their spicy chicken sandwich is better than Popeyes and Chick fil a. The chicken isnt hard, I much prefer this over CFA's sandwiches. The spicy mayo sauce is bomb and theres enough pickles. They have roasted chicken on the menu as well. Also recommend! so flavorful. Dont get cole slaw for sides though, not good and old. Get plantains instead. read more

Will not go back. Prices are outrageous. I ordered directly off the menu and the order taker couldn't understand what I was ordering. I told her I am ordering right off the menu; Six Count Meal. She didn't know what that was. Then when I drove up to the window, she finally understood. The manager came to the window and took my credit card and when he told me the amount I couldn't understand him. I had to ask for a receipt which seem to upset the manager. Very, very amateur service even FOR FAST FOOD. $13.90 for a chicken nugget MEAL. I ordered a "MEAL" and they charged me separately $2.90 for a SMALL drink. And at these prices, it seems more like they are trying to attract fine diners anyway. Stay away! read more

Pollo Campero - Here's proof! - Latin American Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Tried first time. Pretty expensive for fast food from Guatemala. 2 meals for $27 is pretty pricey. One and done for me. Portions is pretty small. 3 pcs chicken meals and sandwich with drink is $27 where I can get more for my bucks somewhere. Place is clean but service is so so. Food was cold when we received even though we waited 20 mins. Cold fried chicken read more

The food was unexpected. I did not think I would enjoy it so much, it was intended as a quick bite. We ended up trying a good bit of the menu. The fried chicken is divine! The grilled chicken is okay but still very good. The empanadas were very tasty. The little nuggets were chunks of all white meat instead of ground up nonsense. The flan was even good!! Like how did a fast food place nail flan?! The service was polite and efficient. I like that if you dine it you're served with plates instead of paper and plastic. The overall ambiance was warm, inviting, and family friendly. We will definitely be back! read more

This chicken is so well seasoned it doesn't make sense I want to take it and make chicken enchiladas it's just good all by itself!!! I basically don't care for any of the sides I always get it to go so I would never order french fries that would go cold. The chicken is definitely a 10!!!!! read more

The fried chicken was very good. The rice was not the best but I would definitely go back and try the fried chicken sandwich. The establishment was clean and the service was great. read more

Pollo Campero - grilled and fried chicken Four Piece Special - Latin American Near Me - Richardson, Texas

I have some mixed feelings about this place. I've always wanted to try it and well the day came. Wasn't satisfied at all. To be honest I did not know it was a Guatemalan cuisine style restaurant. We did our own ordering on the screen sat down and took about 30 minutes for our food to come out. Feels as if they have their original customers because while we waited a big family walked in and they got their food right away while we still waited for our 6 pieces of chicken. I had ordered grilled and there were only two grilled pieces and was offered a fried one to complete order. Why not that way I get to taste both. The chicken was tiny the portions were small for the price. The chicken has a limey strong seasoning to it. My rice and fries were good. The empanada was ok. It's most tasted like chick fil a sauce inside of it. read more

I was in the area and wanted a quick bite to eat that would be somewhat healthy. My husband and I shared the four-piece grilled chicken meal with rice, sweet plantains, and beans. The grilled chicken had a nice lime-tasting seasoning, but it didn't taste fresh. The pieces of chicken were tiny as well. The sides were just okay. I didn't enjoy any of the meal, to say the least. read more

Grilled Chicken was well seasoned and tasted great, however some pieces were a little dry. Beans were very flavorful! Wasn't expecting that. The yucca fries were crispy and made to order so they were hot and very fresh! Their fries were also standard. Overall I was happy with the sides and liked the chicken. I would come back here again! read more

This is a fast food place, but it offers a twist from your usual fare. First, it's Guatemalan food, so you will find things like flan, empanadas and corn salad on the menu. While you can still do the American thing and get fries and soda with your order, why not mix it up. That corn salad as a side is delicious. I wash everything down with the horchata drink. To me, it's like liquid rice pudding (sweet cinnamon). My husband always goes for the mango drink. Both are a delightful change. They specialize in chicken. You can order it a variety of ways, but my favorite HERE is grilled. Normally, at other restaurants, I go for crunchy, crispy, fried, and spicy to give the food flavor; however at Pollo Campero, the grilled chicken has great seasoning. Plus, the meat is very moist. You'll find yourself licking your fingers to get one last taste. The big downside is that you will easily pay around $15 for two combos. That's a bit pricey for fast food, but I'll be back for more because it feels a bit healthier than the other fast food joints in the area. read more

I never get disappointed. Always fresh,delicious and fast. Staff are friendly and efficient. Dine in always clean and organize. read more

After reading the reviews I was so nervous to try them out but I had a free meal coupon so I figured what could it hurt. Upon arrival what I believe to be the manager greeted us and took our order. We dined in so we received our number filled our drinks and waited for our food. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Upon arrival I was very impressed by the plates. As minor as it seems the fact that they use legit plates that you would eat on at home was such a nice touch! As far as the meal goes the fries were lukewarm but the chicken was very flavorful. My favorite part of the meal was the verde empanada that I got for free for checking in on Yelp. I didn't really care for the entire meal but I will definitely be back for the empanadas. Side note: do not order the roll!!!! read more

Pollo Campero - Latin American Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Third time ordering from here I have yet to visit the location. Very impressed with the food; simple delicious and the prices are fair. I normally get the grilled chicken , plantains, Yuka fries and the corn salad and it has been delicious every single time. I once tried the fried chicken and I'm not a big fan of it, maybe because the grilled chicken tastes way better. The plantains are always sweet and the corn salad is one of the most delicious salads I've ever tasted. Very happy with the food and I plan to return many more times ! read more

This is a check-in review. Pollo Campero on Beltline is still our go-to place for take out chicken! And there are more items on the menu now. Everything I've tried is great. The staff is very friendly, and I recommend using the app for take out. They prepare your food on time, not way ahead, so it is fresh and hot when you pick it up. read more

I guess I haven't been here for over one year since the Covid issue. But they're really Always flavorful! I definitely recommend their fried chicken to my friends! read more

Pollo Campero - Fried chicken and Camperitos (White Meat Nuggets) - Latin American Near Me - Richardson, Texas

every time I go to this restaurant they give me more food than what I even ordered and it's delicious. Sometimes I think I died and went to a different planet. They are nice and courteous and make sure the customer is taken care of. I will keep doing business here when I'm up in the Richardson area. The management team is doing everything right and the employees seem to love working there. Good job Pollo Compero!!! read more

Visited tonight about an hr before closing. Staff was already picking up for the night but I was still greeted promptly. I had a delicious fried leg and thigh. They were super light and crispy on the outside yet moist and juicy once I tore into it. I also had the campero beans for a nice little porky fix. Fries were great again crisp on the outside soft center. The empanada was interesting kinda like a handheld cheesy chicken pot pie. Service was the star of the show tonight, staff was super friendly and made sure I was enjoying everything. Even grabbed me some hot sauce! Attentive but not bothersome! Looking forward to trying something new next time. read more

No te atienden porque te falta un minuto para que abran mal atención mal servicio y siempre te dan lo que no podes

This was my first time here and I really enjoyed it the place is super clean I know it's new but they wipe down after everybody chicken I got was fried chicken and I loved the crust on it it was crunchy but not too thick and I had just enough flavor in it and then I got the beans with pork and they had pork in it that was very good I also enjoyed the tea which sounds funny but I can't stand it when I go to a restaurant and you can see through the tea I would go there over any other fast food fried chicken place Also it came with two homemade in-house warm tortillas read more

Read the reviews and the pictures looked really good but when I actually went there the chicken was super greasy the coleslaw was not to my liking I'm not into green bell pepper the yucca fries where lame, I tried both the fried & grilled Chicken.... Not impressed Also had a terrible time understanding the person at the register... no bueno read more

If you love chicken this place is a must! Had the opportunity to experience a delicious and quick meal here tonight and my experience was all positive. Since this was my first visit, I stuck to what I know and ordered the 3 piece Hand Battered Fried Chicken. The entree was accompanied with a side of chilled Cole Slaw, warm Tortillas and an ice cold Latin Mango drink (one of 3) The Chicken was juicy, savory, flavorful and the crispy fried buttery skin on it was fantastic! Any meal just isn't complete without ordering the Empanadas. Mine was filed with generous amount of Chicken, Jalapeños, Chipolté Honey Mustard and ofcourse, Cream Cheese! After the first bite, I was convinced it was made with love! The flavor was both robust and rich without being overwhelming. For the encore, the flan dessert balanced out the meal and left me satisfied. The decor was nothing extraordinary however, exceptionally clean and the menu was easy to read and food item arrangement were simplified allowing for quick and accurate decision making! Staff is courteous, friendly, quick and knowledgeable which is quite a virtue for a fast food establishment. In terms of value, this place is great for a satisfying meal with minimum spending. My entree, including a large drink was less than $10 so its definitely big on value! Overall, great concept. Much better than other fried chicken establishment and in my opinion, offer way more menu choices! I am definitely coming back for the Plantains and a bucket of the delicious Empanadas! Both of which was delicious! Thanks Pollo Campero! read more

I recently came here and had the opportunity to sample some items from their menu. I really enjoyed their chicken. I know they're known for their fried chicken, which was good. But I really enjoyed their grilled chicken which was flavored with some tasty spices and was very juicy. This is definitely a fork and knife kind of chicken. It's probably also a lot healthier. They also had a delicious empanada which is a separate item on the menu. I also recommend their mango juice. I work close by so will bring my co-workers next time. It's a quick and easy lunch which is priced quite fairly. I'm glad I discovered this restaurant. read more

Service 3.5 Food 4 Cleanliness 5 I came here for lunch since I had a free meal coupon. If you also check in on Yelp you get a free empanada. (Thats a plus) I tried the two piece grilled chicken with the corn salad and a small Horchata drink. This place was pretty clean and I like how they hand you a number and they give you your food at your table with real plates and silverware. I also love how they have health meal options and meals that are under 500 calories. The chicken is 100% hormone free and you can get it grilled or fried. I opted for the healthy grilled chicken. It had an amazing citrus and herb flavors and was very tender. The corn salad was refreshing and had fresh flavors. I would get this meal again. As for the empanada I got the dessert one and it was filled with way too much caramel and was pretty sweet. I had to squeeze out half the filling. They also messed up our order twice by giving us the wrong empanadas and they had to be replaced. I guess its hard to tell because they all look the same until you bite into it. The peruvian verde was not that great because I'm not a fan of the bell peppers and the verde sauce. It was a bit dry and had a pickled taste. The latin buffalo was much better because they used the citrus chicken in it. I love the way they marinate the chicken. I also got a small Horchata drink. It was really sweet. The only way I can drink it was to water it down. It still had good cinnamon flavors but it needed less sugar. Overall I would come back for the meal because it was well marinated and fresh but I would pass on the empanadas. Next time I would love to try the plantains. read more

I have driven past this restaurant a dozen times and am sad to say I have never stopped in to eat...until last night! Wow! So glad it's close to my house because we will be back! The service was impeccable and the staff so nice and very attentive. I had the 3 piece with a side and drink. Hint: mix and match your chicken! I got the famous fried and the grilled. Both were the juiciest chicken I've ever had. The grilled chicken was so moist and full of citrus flavor, loved the char also! The fried was my favorite! Incredibly crispy, flavorful & juicy.The seasoning on both types of chicken are perfect. The campero rice was great and the yucca fries were crunchy and delicious! The empanadas had a honey mustard sauce that was interesting, in a good way. Full of cheese, peppers and chicken. The flan was rich and buttery, perfect way to eat the meal. I drank a gallon of the Jamaica juice, I highly recommend it! read more

The food is consistent amongst the chain. It tastes a little differently than when it first came here to the use like 10-15 years but the two times I've had it in the last month was very delicious. I recommend the buffalo chicken empanadas! And be sure to use the free empanada offer from the Yelp checkin. read more

I recently came across this colorful restaurant and thought I'd give it a try. They are doing a $5 flavor plate with 3 pieces of chicken, a side and roll. It's my first time here so the staff helped a lot in explaining what's in their menu. I also got a salad, which is so much bigger than I thought. The chicken was so tasty. I love all the spices they use in it. The fries was crunchy and not soft like in some other fast-food restaurant. Thumbs up for them! read more

I love eating the at Campero, I've been talking up this place to my wife for months, she was in Richardson today and I asked her to stop by to pick up an 8-pice box, To our huge disappointment, they didn't have breast and wings and told her it would be an hour...Yes! "An hour" before white meat was available...((sighs)) anyway, make of that what you will, but as far as I'm concerned, it's highly disappointing. R. read more

Oh my gosh... My husbands family raves about this place because it is "The McDonalds of El Salvador" and it definitely lived up to his expectations. The fried chicken has AMAZING flavor.

Pollo Campero - Latin American Near Me - Richardson, Texas

This restaurant just opened and Richardson off Coit and beltline. I was excited to give this place a try but now I'm a bit disappointed! When I pulled up, there were about 5-6 cars in line in the drive-through and I thought it would move fairly fast. The parking lot was not very large, and it was full. I opted to go through the drive-through, which I shouldn't have done. I was probably about the fifth car back from the window and waited about three or four minutes to get to the speaker to order. When I got to the speaker, it took about five minutes for someone to acknowledge me, then I gave my order and waited about another three or four minutes for a response. I got nothing. I said, "hello" two or three times and still nothing. After about another two or three minutes, I just said forget it and left. I don't know if they got my order or not or what was the deal. I know the inside of the restaurant looked very, very busy and I know the drive-through was very slow so maybe they did not have enough help? I was stuck in traffic getting home and was looking forward to trying this plays out, having some new, hopefully good food and relaxing but not tonight. Now since this happened, I'm kind of irritated and not sure if I would want to go back there and give it another shot. If most of the spaces in the parking lot are full and there is at least three or four cars in the drive-through, I would just go somewhere else and not stop in here. read more
