    Flan.

    This was a return trip to try the chicken again. The fried chicken was seasoned and crispy like the last time. I feel the fried is actually better when compared to the roasted version. The spicing seems more balanced. This time I ordered the Four Piece Special with a dinner roll, coleslaw, and plantains along with a Three Piece Special of chicken only. The coleslaw was delicious and made with healthy apple cider vinegar which gave it a good tangy flavor. The vinegar also made the coleslaw lighter in mouthfeel so that was a plus. Plantains were very good, as usual. I still think that this is their best side. Yuca fries were several minutes out of the fryer, getting cold, and were chewy. I probably won't order again unless they were freshly made. Dinner roll is the same as those that come in a box ready to be warmed in an oven, soft and pillowy. I ordered a chicken empanada this time to try. It tasted good but the filling really wasn't anything special, just bits of chicken, corn, and cheese. The exterior pastry was flaky enough, though. This time I received two containers of their signature sauce to accompany the fried chicken. It had a good flavor and is very similar to the chicken sauces served at other places only slightly zestier and spicier. Pollo Campero is a good change from the usual fried chicken. Crowds have died down from their initial opening so it is easy to use their online app and pick up the order quickly.

    Overall clean, & friendly service! The food was pretty good, but tough to match up with competition Background on the restaurant -This fried chicken restaurant originates from Guatemala! Pollo Campero is a staple in the culture there and THE go-to fast food chain there. TATSE wise is it a slight difference front Guatemala to USA pollo Campero as they have slightly different methods Service: 4/5 -They are friendly and helpful!! They greet you with smile on their face Ambiance 3/5 - This is a fast food establishment, it's pretty standard. A cool thing if you dine they serve you on reusable plates so it's good for the environment. Food 3.5/5 -We got the chicken sandwich. It's good, but doesn't beat out places like Popeyes or chick fil a Overall worth trying out as they have flavors and items (black beans and plantains) which are true to Guatemalan culture.

    First Pollo Campero location in Victorville! Happy to have them join us in the high desert. They were getting ready to close soon for the evening. My eldest daughter and I quickly went through the drive-thru. Drive-thru staff was okay. We ordered two $10 meals each came with 3 pieces of fried chicken, regular fries, and drink plus an order of family size yucca fries. It would have been nice if we could have substituted the regular fries with yucca fries. Oh well. Fried chicken batter was a tad salty IMHO. Outside skin was overly fried. Chicken meat was moist though. Drumstick was on the smaller side. Thigh size was decent. Fries were good. Yucca fries were great. Mango and Jamaica agua frescas were delightful. Would we be back? Yes, we would since it's the only Pollo Campero up the hill. Otherwise, we would need to get them down the hill. Thanks Pollo Campero for your presence in the high desert!

    Excellent fried chicken and yucca fries.

    Very pleased with the food quality here: Fried chicken was crisp, fresh and tasty. Roast chicken has an unusual vinegary marinade but is moist and fresh. Yucca fries are thick and chewy. Beans are in a flavorful sauce. It took 20 minutes to get my order but it was very busy and I'm glad they don't rush.

    I was excited to try this place due to finding out it originated in Guatemala. I stopped by last night and was very much underwhelmed. The empanadas were disgusting and tasted like a horrific chicken pot pie. I do not understand why they place their fries in the container they come in because it makes the fries extremely soggy. The chicken was actually good but I will say if you have high blood pressure, avoid. It's extremely salty and can be overwhelming if you're not an individual who enjoys salty food. Lastly, the horchata. I am so confused as to how anyone could think that was okay to serve? Tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch that had been soaked in water for many days. Yuck! The person at the drive thru window didn't put any condiments in the bag when they were asked to. I can say I will not be back and I am beyond disappointed. This place could have so much potential too, how sad

    Roasted chicken. 3 piece meal.

    Don't order the roasted chicken. They give you burnt pieces. They started out very well here in Victorville, but the quality has dropped significantly.

    Best fried chicken in town!!!! Fast service in a brand new building. Popeyes and KFC had nothing on this chicken

    Hardly any beans, mostly juice.
    Arthur O.

    Today the person that took our order didn't care about our complaints, she literally pretended not to hear us. We wanted to get larger pieces of chicken and said we were willing to pay extra but we were told that was not an option. Every time we get the chicken mix we get microscopic meatless wings. We already pay more here than pollo loco and pollo loco gives tortillas and delicious salsas. Also every time we've come something has been missing or not worth having. Today we got mostly juice in our cup of beans. Other times our buns were missing. Once we were even shorted a chicken piece. No comment on the inside dining as we have not been inside.

    This is what they need

    I have been to the Pollo Campero in Vegas, Los Angeles & San Bernardino, they Chicken have always been fresh, hot, delicious. I went to the new one in my city and I must be honest. Customer Service was on point the Chicken not so much. I think they're cooking too much and putting it in the warmer that's making it not good at all. I had to change it two times the (first: over cooked & cold, second: cold & soggy on half of my thigh, the breading was not fully cooked). That comes from putting to much in the fryer and not shaking it. The ladies were very helpful, but at this point I was very unsatisfied and disappointed. I packed it up brought it home that was Monday Feb 9th today is Feb 11th. I really wish they wouldn't cook so much chicken so they don't have to keep it in the warmer. That takes the crunchy away makes it soggy and not fresh hot. I know it's new and upcoming, but they need to work on it being better. They need to pull some workers from other stores that have been working there for years to train them to let them know how much chicken to cook and how much not to cook. I know all this because I've worked at Stater Brothers for 10 years and in the deli for eight years. We fry chicken all day every day and we don't keep it in the warmer unless an order pick up is running late that's when we put it in the warmer. Because it definitely makes it soggy. I love the chicken but, when I go to this Campero I'm going to order fresh and wait for it. They need those heat warmers. Why yall don't have those? The 2 pictures is what this place needs.

    3 pc meal and gol box.

    Great customer service. First timers and Zuleyma M. recommended us a yummy meal! Very content with how clean the restaurant is and how good the food was. The bathroom was baby friendly with a clean changing table. Something new was definitely needed up here!

After spending the day at Willow Springs Raceway, it has always been a tradition to eat at Baracoa afterwards for the past couple of years now. We all love their dishes. The oxtail is raved about, service is always excellent, vibes are great esp on live music nights. This time around, we had a slightly larger party since there were more of us at the raceway this day and we were excited for our friends to finally try Baracoa. We've always had maybe 1 or 2 dogs with us and so we'd sit out on the patio. These dogs are quiet and obedient. They just lie under the table at your feet and are never restless & never beg/bark/whine. Since we had a larger party and now 3 dogs with us, maybe it drew more attention? Our waiter said that he will have to ask the boss if it's okay that we have dogs since usually it's policy to not have dogs on the premises. We were so confused since we've been coming here. The boss/owner/manager, I can't remember exactly his title, came outside and let us know that unfortunately, pets are not allowed, even on the patio. We were all taken aback with nothing to say except having dropped jaws as he was walking away. Before he completely left our sight, we asked when that became a policy since we have always been here with dogs. He said it's always been a rule and cannot speak for his employees and the decisions they make when he's not there. He goes on to state that the pets are unclean and that he has customers. In that moment, I thought, "What are we then? Have we never been customers?" With a firm tone, he asked us to cooperate. It would have been a different kind of feeling if this boss had said ANYTHING along the lines of, "We would love to have you back to dine with us, but please without your dogs." This interaction felt like major rejection, hate towards pets, and to just get out immediately. We had already ordered 3 cortado frios, which I always think is to-die-for here, and that will be our last sips from them. It was also way more sweet than strong this time, sadly. We will not be returning to this establishment.

If youre having a bad day stay home or fake it. She was not welcoming and did not greet upon entry, she just stared like she was annoyed there was a customer. She also sat all the black people in the same section. Why? The good. I didnt get names but im assuming he was the manager, was very friendly. Greeting people, checking on people, making sure everything was good. My waiter was friendly, quick and helpful. Food came out fast and hot. Even the waiter was surprised at how quick I got my food. Food was good, although I cant eat much lately so only ate half. Reheated it was still good. Despite the hostess I'll be back to see if everything stays the same.
