My first introduction to Pollo Campero wasn't in Charlotte. It was back in 2001 when I worked at…read moreHouston's international terminal. Flights from Guatemala would arrive, and passengers would walk off the plane carrying bags of Pollo Campero. The aroma was unforgettable. Ever since then, I've been curious about what made this chicken so special. Fast forward to Charlotte, and now I finally understand the hype. I stopped in for a quick lunch and ordered the four-piece roasted chicken meal with sweet plantains, coleslaw, and a roll. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The chicken was juicy and packed with spices that set it apart from your typical fast-food chicken chain. It's hard to explain until you try it, but the seasoning has a distinctive flavor that makes Pollo Campero uniquely its own. The sweet plantains were excellent. Soft, caramelized, and sweet with those slightly crispy edges that make plantains so addictive. The coleslaw was cold, creamy, and crunchy, which paired perfectly with the chicken. The service was friendly, the value was excellent, and my order was accurate. I always take a moment to check my order before leaving the drive-thru, and everything was exactly right. If your fried chicken experience begins and ends with KFC, Bojangles, or Church's, give Pollo Campero a try. It's a delicious taste of Guatemala and a reminder that great chicken comes in many forms. Life is too short not to eat well, Charlotte.

Charlotte is a fried chicken city. Aside from being the headquarters for Bojangles, we've got…read moreoutlets for all the big chains - KFC, Church's, Popeye's and such. Several excellent local restaurants, too. So I had high hopes today for Pollo Campero. PC was clean when I arrived at 12:30. Quite busy with about a third of the tables in use and the remaining were clear of dirty dishes. Surprising because they don't have a trash can that I could see - the staff bus and clean tables, clearing them swiftly. I ordered a three piece at the counter and it didn't take long until a running found my tent card and I was able to start. The chicken was thoroughly cooked, still moist. Not much for flavor in the skin today, it needed some hot sauce to bring out the taste. The cole slaw was creamy and crisp. Still good but also a little bland. The small dinner roll wrapped in plastic was fresh and fluffy. Overall, it's a nice little fast food spot. If you're looking for something in a known quantity along South Boulevard near the light rail, this will work nicely. [Review 728 of 2025 - 4162 in North Carolina - 24288 overall]

So with our most recent trip to Charlotte, we HAD to make a stop here for him. I went inside to order for him, and the smell was amazing! It was very clean (I love a clean restaurant!!!). I was greeted by 2 of the workers, and they were super sweet. My son hadn't been to this location before, but the food must have been fantastic because he was almost done eating before we left the parking lot!! He had an order of fries, pink lemonade, and the strawberry hot wings with a side of honey mustard! Maybe on our next trip, I'll actually try these wings for myself, since we can't find them here in Charleston!

I was thinking how bad can they mess up a wrap? Well it was disgusting. The chicken tenders tasted old, barely warm, soggy, no crisp at all. The fries were cold and sad. The chicken tacos were also not good due to the poor quality chicken. I was excited to try this place but now totally regret it! You'll probably be better off eating at the McDonald's near by. Poor food quality, my stomach will probably be hurting later lol don't do it! The chicken tenders are disgusting, cannot imagine how bad the wings are.

I had already reviewed them when I got my order which was an in store pick up and it wasn't exactly right or great experience but I did let them know .

It wasn't earth shattering mistakes but things were wrong and Mikey made sure I knew he knew and asked to make it right. I am telling you all - that is just ONE of many reasons why I love that place. They actually care and offered to make it right. Today I ordered the 8 piece combo via DoorDash - which I paid for ! Twice in one week !!! It was so good . Everything was just as it should be . Only issue was I ate 2 wings before I realized I needed to capture that photo for y'all ! Two thumbs way up !!!

I ordered the 1/2 dark chicken plate with yellow rice and chicken soup. The chicken soup is the only thing I wished it had a little bit more flavor but it was all good. The beef empanadas were VERY good (fyi if you go on Tuesdays, I believe they are $1) . I also grabbed their mango juice, and it tasted fresh, natural, and authentic -- definitely a highlight. Overall, this is a solid food spot with a nice variety of menu options. I didn't get any pictures this time (my bad ), but I would definitely go back and enjoy another meal here.

The bartender was friendly but extremely slow to acknowledge us and then take our order later. She never brought us the water or additional napkins we asked for. I hate to write such a bad review but it really was a disappointing experience.
