    Chicken Bacon Sandwich and platinos.
    Paul R.

    I've never heard or had Pollo Campero. I'm an adventurous eater so I went ahead and tried it out while in Huntington Park. I had a breaded chicken breast sandwich which was very thick and moist. The bun was nice and soft too. The platinos were the bomb The best platinos I've ever eaten in my entire six decades. They were not dry hard or overcooked they were nice and soft and plump. I definitely will be back.

    Empanada Trio Meal
    Allyssa C.

    We love to stop and bring the family. The meals are super affordable. This time we got the Empanada Trio Meal with a side of Yuka fries. I love the comparo sauce. I think it makes the meal. We also got a side of plantains. They were delicious. We love taking their food to go, but we also learn that they have a law-enforcement 50% off deal.

    8 Piece Family Meal - half fried/charbroiled
    Rosa R.

    After a busy morning, cleaning the kitchen, not in the mood to cook and dirty it again! Came to enjoy this eight piece, half fried and half charbroiled chicken with my hubby! I love the refried beans and my hubby loves the coleslaw, perfectly matched with the corn tortillas! Love this chicken! Service was excellent was asked a couple times during our meal if we needed anything, thanks!

    I'm a bit conflicted about how to write this review, and I'll explain why in a bit. Pollo Campero was originally established in Guatemala, and since I'm from Guatemala, I wanted to treat my parents to our favorite restaurant from when we used to live there. I hosted a PPV event last night and decided to visit the nearest Pollo Campero, which happened to be the one in South Gate. As you walk in, you're greeted with the enticing scent of their delicious fried chicken. I ordered their 20-piece family meal with all fried and mixed chicken, along with mac and cheese, plantains, rice, beans as sides, and 12 empanadas. The lady at the register offered their special of four empanadas for $7 and honored it for the 12 that I ordered, which I thought was really nice of her. The total for this meal came out to be $103, which I felt was a good deal. The ambiance had the typical Pollo Campero vibe, and it was super busy on this Saturday afternoon. It took about 15 minutes for my order to be prepared, and I double-checked everything was there before heading home. Here's where things got a bit confusing. When I unpacked my bags, I noticed that the containers for the sides didn't look like a family-size portion, meaning it didn't seem like it was meant to feed "20 people." Since I was expecting 15 people for the event, my wife ended up making some more rice, beans, and mashed potatoes. The food itself was delicious as alway,s. My family enjoyed it so much that we didn't have any leftovers. It was our first time trying the empanadas, and they were delightful, with plenty of chicken and flavor. The sides were also flavorful, and the plantains were crunchy and sweet. Overall, the customer service and food quality were perfect. The portion size for a family meal appears to be a corporate issue rather than a problem with this specific restaurant, so I'm giving it five stars. I'll be back again.

    Fried chicken
    Anthony R.

    I had low expectations of this restaurant but my wifey and I were pleasantly surprised about the food. I was informed that the fried chicken was more popular than the grilled chicken. After trying both, I thought it would be the reverse. Either way, the meat is very well seasoned before cooking. The flavor penetration was deep and it tastes wonderful. The yuca fries have a slightly different taste and texture. Combined with the dipping sauce, you are in for a treat. If you eat in, the food is served on colorful plastic plates for a change of pace. The mango and jamaica drinks are not too sweet but very refreshing. The service is very warm and friendly and the facility is clean and well maintained. I don't know why the chain is rated so low. Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed.

    Came in on a Tuesday night with the family. Used an awesome coupon they offered on the app and also enjoyed a few more items they offered. The chicken was delicious the drinks were refreshing. And the service was 5 stars. The restaurant space is open and plenty of seating. Will def be back to enjoy. Shout out to Carla for the help with the app and patience with our ordering.

They As we are a primarily chicken household, I brought my family with me to try their chicken plates and creative chicken plates. My first initial thought walking into Chicken Koop is that it has calm party vibe... the reason I say this is because through our whole time in the restaurant, they were playing a lot of my favorite songs. For a second, I thought my phone had connected to their speakers, lol! Pictured below is the Fried Chicken Sandwich and the 1/2 Roasted Chicken Plate. The Friend Chicken Sandwich was so juicy and flavorful; the breaded chicken patty had a perfect crunch to it. The 1/2 Roasted Chicken Plate was also another delicious and great choice. The chicken was cooked perfectly- again no dry chicken and it was juicy w a crunchy outer skin. The Brussels sprouts can out perfectly as well.

We ordered takeout and were pleasantly surprised they still accepted our order only 30 minutes before closing. I had the mushroom wrap because it seemed like a healthier option. The vegetables inside were cooked well and nicely seasoned, but the wrap itself was a little dry. It came with a salad, which was a nice addition. I'd still return for the wrap. The garlic fries were really good, and the nachos were nice and saucy. The rice that came with the dinner plate, however, was overcooked and mushy. Overall, a decent experience with a few standout items.

The laseng chicken set came with soft steamed broccoli topped with like a mayoy drizzle, crunchy sweet pickled radish, sticky rice, and a fried chicken cutlet topped with like a spicy, jalapenoy, limey sauce. The tnt chicken sando had a soft chewy bun, crunchy briney pickles, was decently spicy and lowkey reminded me of buffalo sauce. The mala gala wings had peppery spicy flaves, the red disco was more like a sweet spicy sticky situation, and the anchovy one was really savory, salty with a light fishy essence but nothing offensive. Overall this place is still pretty good. Laseng chicken set $15.99 Double TNT chicken sando $15.99 8 pc wing $17.99

Just some humble words of suggestion, this place needs a bigger menu. Fries is not enough, and def more entrees. I like the fact this place has a Music theme, but it feels half-assed. So some flavors on the menu have music references, but not all. This place opened right after another KFC place that was there after covid. I asked the server if this was new ownership or a re-brand. Didint really get a clear answer. Back to the food. I tried the Mala Gala & Red Disco wings. Both were fire. Samba fried were also yummy as well. Like I said earlier more apps and some Chimkin Sandos would totally change the menu, and maybe some more flavor options for the KFC wings. Plenty of parking right in front, located in the Downey Landing shop area behind the Benihana.

I spent my early teens and high school years down here in LA, well, Cerritos to be exact.

Oh, here I go digressing again. Anyways as I was saying... Perhaps they understood and knew they were working for an establishment that is truly epic! Or, they themselves loved chicken and secretly deep down inside they knew after their shift... they were about to get some! Chicken that is! Hahha :) I loved the simplicity of this place, and the feel/vibe was about the same. Essentially the ambiance was quite the same as before. The smell was the same of course. Oh, and the mac salad, good Lord! Tasted exactly the same as I remember. My biggest motivation to acquire more accounts in LA? You guessed it, so I can go again to this amazing chicken spot! I love you, Pioneer Chicken! Sincerely, a silly Gen X'er, fried chicken-oholic! :)
