I have never heard of Pollo Campero before and I am so happy that I stopped by! The chicken is incredibly juicy and full of flavor. I also enjoyed their nuggets and Campero sauce which is creamy and a bit tangy. Both paired well with the crispy and starchy fried yucca fries. Service was so friendly and welcoming as a first timer, even through the drive thru window. I was told that this chain is well known in Guatemala and El Salvador. I will most definitely be back and spreading the word! read more

Pollo Campero - Drive Thru! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Stanton, California

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was friendly and establishment was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It just wasn't my cup of tea. I had empañadas. I'd say it tasted like chipotle sauce with a slight dill flavor to it. I liked the plantains, reminded me of the apples in an apple pie. Similar texture and flavor. I wouldn't crave the flavor to go again, but I wouldn't turn it down if someone else offered to go there. Husband got the fried chicken. It was a little too greasy for his liking. He said the flavor was good though. He really liked the beans. I didn't get a picture of them as they were served after our main plates. Flan was great. PS on a side note: it is not Mexican food. It is Guatemalan. read more

The more I think about it the more appealing it is for us to have a Costco/Pollo Campero wedding :) aside from the plastic utensils everything for their take out is recyclable and I can really appreciate that. We live 15 minutes away one way (20 for the average driver - but I want my chicken to still be warm when I get home, sooo...) so not exactly close but oh so worth it. Took my son here today to get take out so I could share the magic with him that is Campero. Forgot he's not a fan of bananas so didn't think that applied to fried plantains. Willi was at the cashier and repeated the order after taking it, which I can appreciate - thorough, professional, helpful, friendly. Next time I will get my son the yucca fries then and flan, as we have never tried the flan here and I know my son would like it. Wish they'd replace the dinner roll on the menu with something else because it really is dry and adds nothing to anyone's meal. I heard the pollo Campero in Guatemala has a really good black bean paste that went with meals you can spread onto your tortilla. Would be cool to see that on the menu here, maybe it costs too much to have it in the United States on the menu *shrug* read more

I forgot how delicious Pollo Campero chicken is! The flavor is so good and the chicken is so juicy too. I got a three piece with their side of beans which are also seasoned perfectly! Service was quick and efficient and their mango agua Fresca hit the spot on a warm day! read more

...Hate El Pollo Loco and Charo Chicken is even worse... ... this is a 20 min drive (one way) out of my way, but who doesn't like a good fried or rotisserie chicken? ... So, if it's worth the drive, this may be the new replacement, but they seem to be popping up all over, so there will probably be one closer to me soon enough. Way better than EPL or Charo! Bought an 8 piece, chicken only half and half so we could try both types. The empanadas are good, but only while crispy. Flat by the time I got home... . The chicken pieces were normal to larger size, so we still have 4 pieces left, which brings down the $24 I paid to $12 for the two of us, chicken only. The empanadas were 3 for $9, which came with one side, so I tried the Plantains. Overall good first time experience! read more

The cashier was friendly and helpful. As it was my first time there. Ordered the three-piece chicken meal and it was fantastic. I like that they offer the option of bread roll or tortilla. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When dining and they plate the food on a nice decorative plate and they bust the table for you afterwards as there is no trash can available for self disposal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was a great fantastic place to have a decent fried chicken meal. read more

Anyone heard of Miss Dash? This literally taste like they use Miss Dash as their seasoning. I would stay clear from the roasted chicken. When I first bit into it, thought okay, I do like Miss Dash when I use it to cook. Eventually I get to the middle and it was literally pink. The fried chicken isn't bad, but it isn't anything special. I really hope I caught them on a bad day. The service was good. Staff was really nice and efficient. Overall, definitely not a place I would go out my way. read more

This was my first time trying pollo campero and it has been on my list for the longest. I ordered the 2 piece lunch with leg and thigh, coleslaw, and a roll. The chicken had so much flavor and crunchiness to it. The coleslaw was similar to KFC , which is a good thing to me, if not, even better. It was nice and creamy and definitely not dry. Service was quick since I was the only one in the drive through and definitely convenient since I came on a day that it rained. I'm definitely coming back for another quick lunch since it's so close to work. read more

Its a bit pricey, but i love the fried chicken of el campero pollo. I will continue to eat at all of their different locations as long as I'm in the area and hungry. I also like their green hot sauce with latin american sour cream. read more

1. I didn't get a receipt. 2. I was missing a leg. 3. I was missing a side of fries. I paid $32.60 for my order to be incomplete. Tip: make sure your items aren't missing before leaving the drive thru. read more

So I was across the street at TJ Showgirls getting a lap dance (you know, just doing God's work), and afterward I was starving. Priorities, right? I wandered over to Pollo Campero because nothing hits like crispy chicken after questionable life choices. Walked in and was greeted by Jared at the counter cool dude, super friendly, didn't judge me for smelling like glitter and regret. He hooked me up quick and made sure I was taken care of. The food? Chicken was crispy, juicy, and just the kind of spiritual reset I needed. Only minor thing my yucca fries looked like someone snuck a few on the way out the kitchen but honestly, I was too happy to care. Highly recommend this spot whether you're celebrating, recovering, or just in the mood for some good food and better customer service. Ask for Jared. Tell him the guy from across the street sent you. read more

0 Stars I stopped by the Pollo Campero on Beach Boulevard and went through the drive-through to order an eight-piece meal. The gentleman taking my order was polite and asked me to hold for a moment. When he came back, he let me know it would be a 25 to 35 minute wait just for the meal. That's crazy for a drive-through--especially for something as standard as an eight-piece. Disappointed with the wait time, even though the staff was courteous. It was 25 minutes from closing read more

amazing food and service! the people there are so nice and sweet ! nothing was missing from my order and everything was there ! [[HIGHLIGHT]]the place is so clean and very well put together .[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] i will be coming again with my family soon :) read more

This was my first time coming here. My boyfriend told me about it. My boyfriend and I got the four piece special along with Mac & cheese and French fries on the side. The chicken was delicious pack with tons of flavor. The tortillas came with only two I wish they gave us more. The Mac & cheese was okay. The fries were good, delicious, and smooth. They also have their own drive thru. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outside store looks nice and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There is plenty of parking space. I would definitely come back here for their chicken and different sides. read more

TBH - i usually love Pollo Campero but, this experience might ruin it a little bit and won't be that excited to come back. I ordered online and took it over to my parents. We ordered the family meal with 12 pieces. This location is 10 minutes from my parents. It was packed in a paper bag and when my husband got out the car, it literally fell through the bag. EVERYTHING out! Some of it was saved and of course my husband felt bad and said he would eat the chicken that fell on the ground. There's 1 strike. And chicken skin was soggy. Like my mother refried a couple pieces. She asked me if I wanted her to fry the rest! What?? No! It's FRIED chicken. It should already be fried! I'm sure I didn't put special instructions to partially fry the chicken so I can finish the frying at home. The fries were undercooked. My dad loves fries and he really didn't have any. I am sure my mother waited for us to leave to throw them in the air fryer. I am not a fan of the beans. The coleslaw was warm-ish. Luckily, my brother showed up with pizza and my parent's cooked a few other items. read more

Pollo Campero - Yes - that is how we got our chicken. The car ride was 10-15 minutes - Chicken Shop Near Me - Stanton, California

First time trying this chicken place. I ordered the small family pack with add-on... In fairness, the fried chicken was good. I wanted to try the grilled chicken too but was told that they were out of it. Sounds like a mismanagement issue considering I came by late in the afternoon. Tried the beans, rice, plantains and Yuca sticks. The Yuca was tough and dry. The plantains were tasty. Wouldn't try the Yuca again. All in all,, it was ok. A bit over priced for what you get in my opinion. Wish I had a better experience read more

If I could give this place a negative star I would this is literally the worst food you can eat I don't know how they keep opening up different places they should be closed down by the department of health I ordered chicken here and the chicken came with the feathers I was disgusted and actually threw up right after never again will I eat here I hope this helps somebody read more

Chicken is a bit spicy but definitely delicious. It's different than any other fried chicken on the market. The side orders are also very good. Prices are very reasonable. My family and I really enjoyed our last order and have made it one of our favorite places to dine at. read more

i've been meaning to write this review for a while but i didn't the first time and finally have had the chance come back last week. I've gone to other locations and love the food, so it was very upsetting to have such a negative experience, i couldn't stop thinking about it. my experience was bad if not worse then the first time...... The first time, staff was EXTREMELY RUDE and looked like they were DISPLEASED WITH TAKING MY ORDER. both times i was here the wait times were extremely long 15 minutes for some chicken nuggets. And the guy who seemed in his 20-40s didn't use a friendly tone.... in the time i was waiting i could hear staff slinging SLURS in the back and calling each other the N WORD (none of them were black....) so loud ALL CUSTOMERS could hear...while kids ARE PRESENT. The second time, while waiting near the register i could see the manager messing around with the staff... and being very unprofessional which is why i probably had to wait so long for my food... the guy who packed my order WORE NO GLOVES AND TOUCHED HIS NOSE i didn't even want him to remake my order because i was so disgusted and dissatisfied that i wanted to leave. the manager at the time didn't seem to care since he seemed like apart of the problem... i never write reviews but i made an account just to warn anyone who thinks about coming to this RACIST RUDE UNPROFESSIONAL ESTABLISHMENT. i'd say save your money or go to a different location...!! read more

Really disappointed with this Pollo Campero. The chicken was soggy. Must have been sitting there for a while in a heat lamp because after my family and I were feeling sick. Not fresh at all. The beans were very salty. Tasted like canned chili beans. Which is surprising because I usually get regular pinto beans or black beans. They also ran out of plantains. The yucca was the only thing that was fresh because we had to wait 12 minutes for it. The rice was not fresh. Probably microwaved. The Jamaica was sour. The horchata was bland. I was completely shocked. Do yourself a favor and just skip this location. read more

15-20min wait for 8pc chicken is insane. They'll be closed by the end of the year. Nothing takes 15-20min, nothing. Why even have a drive thru!? read more

The grilled chicken was so dry i used the hot sauces and the tortillas for moisture so that I could swallow it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They are not very concerned about cleanliness one of the employees came dy and cleaned a table by me and left all the crumbs and liquid on the table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Something split on the floor under that table and a manager came by and put a caution sign up and then sat down across from it and left it there instead of just cleaning it up himself I hope for there sake that the fried chicken is good otherwise they will be out of business very soon. Worse $19.00 spent on 3 pieces of chicken ever. read more

Very disappointing that I would have to wait 30 mins for grilled chicken. Off to El Pollo Loco!

If the owners want this place to survive they need to work on quality. I got the 2 piece weekday special. Decent value, sort of. What threw it off were the fries. They tasted as though they were made yesterday or maybe early morning and were just sitting all day. Chicken was a little greasy but over all tasted like it should. Roll was nothing special. Staff was nice. I probably wont be back but wanted to put my 2 cents out there incase anyone was on the fence. read more

I like to support local business. Saw this new place pop up and decided to give it a try. Fried chicken was good, I wish I can comment on the grill but they decide not to give me any grill pieces when the order says half grilled pieces. I end up getting 12 pieces fried Instead. That's strike 1. I ordered mashed potatoes for the kids. Didn't get any mash potatoes because they didn't give me any. That's strike 2. I was asked Tortilla or general, I asked what is general. They responded move to the window . That was pretty rude and that's strike 3. You can see my pictures to see what I ordered and what I got. This place is very expensive but was hoping the food and the experience was worth it. And I'm sad to say it wasn't. Not.coming back for sure. Now, for whoever is responded to our comments. Why ask us to email the company? Shouldn't you be reaching out to us to make it right? You need us to support your business but by asking us to do the work and email the company is kinda arrogant of you read more

PLEASE SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY! Don't go here, plain bland food. Cardboard tasting food I was expecting great decent food. I don't even get my sauce with my nuggets. This is gas station food. (Actually sorry, gas station food at least has flavor ) anyways My fries were old and cold, I didn't get my dinner roll with my meal. Oh and may I add you have to pay for your drink, it does not come with your combo. My first and last time trying this place. My most honest review I've ever wrote. new place, new equipment and they can't do anything right? Please consider our hard earned money and your hungry customers @manager.

We ordered the 8 piece family meal through Uber Eats and we only got 6 pieces of chicken.

Finally opened as I have watched the quick service restaurant be built. I did a drive thru order and ordered the family style chicken and it could literally feed 4-6, it came with 2 rice and 2 side selections which we chose plantains and mashed potato with gravy. Chicken was fantastic, nice warm, thinly battered but great seasoning and fried very well. read more

I used to be a fan of this place but they lost me as a customer when they decided to NOT give me all thighs on a family meal. I don't understand the reasoning, both Pollo loco and KFC will accommodate this simple request and as a customer, it's my preference to just get thighs period. They used to be busy, when they first opened, now is dead and this is one of the reasons why. read more

We order food through the drive through often. Somedays the food is good and other days it is not. Today not so good. Poor quality control at this location. Employees forgot the dinner rolls in our order even though we paid for it. Most of the Yuca fries were stuck all together into one giant yuca patty. All of them were so dry. They also put regular fries in with my yuca fries order. They weren't even busy today so not sure why they couldn't give us decent food. read more
