The food is soooo good. Best fried chicken if you ask me. Veronica is sooo friendly and efficient. Love that they have grilled chicken because I go after the gym. Once in a while I get the fried chicken

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.

They get 2 stars for the fried chicken Even if it was a bit dry, it had crunch… Their mac and cheese is really delicious as well as the rice. 8 pieces of chicken, 2 sides and corn tortillas is 34.00. Once you add a small side and a medium drink is $44, that’s a lot of $ for a little bit of chicken.. I’m just saying.

We were excited to try Pollo Campero, thinking it was Guatemala style inspired, but we were VERY DISAPPOINTED! First the rice is from a box and it tastes like the rice served in other chain restaurants. There were no salsas or sauce offered to go with the chicken. The bottled chile at the tables has nothing to do with Guatemala which is why we came to try this food. The fries were hard. The grilled chicken and fried were ok. The fried banana was sweet. The cashier was impatient when we asked about the different chicken. We don’t plan to go back.
