So I must admit, I am Hispanic but had never heard of Pollo Campero. And although the gimmicky character of a chicken cowboy seemed silly, I decided to give them a try.
And I am so glad I did! The food was D-licious! Capital D people! It's basically fast food- Spanish style. I got the chicken strips with honey mustard sauce. The flavoring of the chicken is really good and different from KFC or Popeye's. The yellow rice with veggies was yummy and the platanos (sweet plantains) tasted homemade. All the combo meals come with a roll and although plain, that was tasty too. I think it was a potato roll. I was disappointed in the flan as it was borderline edible. But I was still happy they offer it.
The dining area was clean and there are a lot of booths.
I'll definitely be hitting up this chain more often now!
Decided to give this restaurant a redemption and this time the chicken was very good. It was juicy, tender and being hungry did not give the chicken a taste advantage either.
Next time I'm in the Hempstead area, will definitely get on the 12 piece special again.
CLUCK YEAH! I love this place. Some of the best Latin Chicken you can find on the island. It's the fast food version of Pollo El Paisa. After my first visit I was impressed with this place. Food was hot and fresh. Staff were very nice! How many other fast food spots do you find the employees coming up to you while your eatting and politely asking if everything is ok? None. Restaurant is clean & bright. Nice little salsa bar too! Awesome spot for lunch!
This place was great. I had the baked chicken which is more like a rotisserie. I had beans and rice with it. The food was great. The fast food restaurant of Latin America was definitely worth the try. I can't wait to try the one in Lawrence since it is closer to me.
