    Two Piece Meal
    Darwin G.

    Hot fresh chicken, the Mac & cheese was good but not great. Chicken was very good and would come back if I'm craving fried or grilled chicken.

    8 piece meal with 2 sides and dinner rolls.  Mango drink and empanada.

    This is the Mexican KFC. We arrived later in the evening and the dining room was already closed. We ordered the 8 piece meal at the drive thru. Not many side dishes left, we ended up choosing fried plantains and French fries. Comes with tortilla or dinner rolls. Mango drink is pretty yummy. I wanted to try the empanada but was not happy when I realized the filling was sweet. Otherwise the chicken is flavorful. Funny thing about this location is there is a KFC next door. We didn't go inside the restaurant, I remembered awhile ago there was a salsa station that you can help yourself to. Inside the restaurant is colorful and staff uniform were neon green colors.

    We FINALLY made it to Pollo Campero after many recommendations and driving by the restaurant often. We finally had our "Bite into life!" Now I'm disappointed that we didn't stop sooner. Where do I begin...The CHICKEN is the star!! Both the fried and grilled are winning choices. They were both flavorful, juicy and very tasty. The fried chicken was crunchy and delicious not that over breaded fried chicken where the skin separates from the chicken and the chicken has no taste. This chicken is well seasoned from skin to the bone. The citrus seasoned grilled chicken is also yummy receiving a double thumbs up! Let's talk sides. You get 2 with an 8 piece. We couldn't decide soooo we got the corn salad-5 Stars...the sunflower seeds were an added bonus. The Campero beans 5+ extra good and tasty added them to some rice on day 2 and almost went back to get more. The coleslaw 3 crunchy but something missing. Needed a pinch of sweet. Plantains 4 nicely seasoned and cooked. The side salad was fresh and tasty with the balsamic vinaigrette. The rolls were average. The SERVICE was OUTSTANDING!!! We were warmly greeted in the drive through and let them know this was our first visit. They were patient with us as we read all of the wonderful options and chose our sides. They reviewed our order and confirmed our order (This doesn't happen often enough with drive through service) Our order was CORRECT when we reached our destination to consume our newly found treasures. We forgot to get EMPANADAS which is what one of our friends raves about. There's always next time which will come soon! Thank you Pollo Campero.

    Hands down my new favorite go-to fried chicken restaurant! If you get lost just loook for the KFC, it's right next to it lol. If you get sick of KFC soggy half cooked fried chicken or Popeyes is too far, then this place is a huge upgraded the chicken is always piping hot along with the sides. Fair prices and fair portions. Friendly and inviting atmosphere and the employees are always smiling. This place is a perfect example of a very well kept and professional food establishment.

    Fried chicken breast super moist and flavorful!

    Fried chicken is moist and flavorful! Side dishes are all great; can't go wrong with any. Definitely get the empanadas! One of my go to when I'm in the area for fried chicken! This place is great never a disappointment.

    Tic Tok made us try this place, driving from Bloomington and SO GLAD we did! This is a restaurant chain that started in Guatemala. Love the idea of trying not only some place new, but a business with actual south American roots. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was bright, friendly, and fun! The staff were helpful and not only brought the food out to us after we ordered from the counter, but checked back to see how we liked the food. The FOOD! Wow, so I'm thinking, this is gonna be on-par with Chipotle, since the counter and vibe was in that genre, but NO... the chicken was so flavorful, both the crispy fried chicken, and the marinated, garlicky version were yummmm-o delicious! We also ordered the yucca fries and fried plantains, and both were really really good. My pictures show it all- this food could easily be served at a high priced restaurant and people would be pleased. Well-worth the drive. Give it a try!

    I kept driving past this place until one day had a pregnancy craving and decided...let us try some chicken. I was shocked ! First time ordered thru the drive thru and the wait was a bit annoying but it was well worth it. The food was hot, fresh fresh! You know the food is fresh and hot when you driving home and trying to taste and have to drop the food back in the box. Yeah that is some fresh food for real. Service from many of the Latina Queens was phenomenal. They were kind and thorough and very prompt. Now to tell you about this impressive chicken, many times I have had chicken and not once after any fast food joint have I ever had a tender and juicy (very moist and yet fully cooked) chicken breast. In fact most places I have eaten at I choose to avoid the breast because of how dry it usually is. I took a chance and I was impressed. The breast was so moist. So fresh and so tender just not at all what I expected. The side selection is awesome because they have plantains (a favorite) and I have had their Mac and cheese and let me tell you somebody Mama knew what they were doing passing that one down. The chicken grilled or fried is again amazing. The flavor. The fried chicken coating is NOT your usual but it is still really good and flavorful to say the least. That is for those who are more comfortable with a crunchy crunchy crunch throughout the entirety of eating a piece of fried chicken. Great food. Great service and such a pleasant experience that I returned twice within a two week timeframe. The inside is colorful and vibrant and the service you get thru the drive thru is that much more pleasant inside.

    Might as well face it you're addicted to Pollo Campero

    Not the kind of place where you'd Campero out all night to get their food right at opening time. But not as awful as some of the other Camperos. I'm not sure why they call it Latin food and I'm not sure how they have such amazing reviews. This is not Latin food but I guess if you're in Minneapolis then you might not know the difference? Go to the Mercado Central please - that is Latin food. It's on Lake, in Midtown, and wow. Actual amazing authentic cheap Latin food. You come here and you're just getting Americanized fast food that is an absolute rip-off and bastardization and homogenization and appropriation of a culture. Having said that it tastes moderately okay from this location at least, and it's fairly cheap and I can totally understand why you would come here.

    My husband has wanted to try this for a long time, and we finally did along our way to Wisconsin. It was near Cane's and right next to KFC, but omg this was SO dang good! I couldn't decide what to order. The empanadas were fresh and hot. Cheesy goodness! The sauce was yummy too. Loved the pulled chicken, and usually I don't like chicken. They had so many sides to pick from. I ordered the yucca fries which were tasty, and my husband got the beans. Quick and fresh. We definitely will be back again!

    This is mos Def my fav fried chicken joint! All fried skin and not that extra flour for me is no bueno. Always gots to get the pork & beans. A large order of rice to mix it up in the pork & beans. Yucca fries and empanada with the cilantro sauce muy bien

    Every time have to wait outside more them 30 minutes even though it was a online orders. This place is very un professional.

    Ordered ahead on-line, and went through the drive-thru for pick-up. Waited about 5 more minutes, but Chicken came home so hot and yummy.
