  1. I tried this place one day because I was waiting for the bus across the street from it and realized that I was hungry abd didn't have anything at home that I wanted.

    I got a combo I think it was 6.99 came with a quarter chicken either grilled or fried, two sides dinner roll and a soda. The chicken is supposed to be Peruvian style. The flavor was just ok. What I didn't like was the texture. It was rubbery. I got the vegetable rice and the coleslaw with it. The rice was good, a good flavor and cooked correctly. The coleslaw would have been good if it wasn't too salty. I'm used to my coleslaw having a little bit of tang & sweetness. It was fresh though at least, so was the roll. They have some hot sauces on the side that are pretty good & add flavor.

    I guess for 6.99 you can't go wrong. Maybe the chicken will be better next time.

    They do take debit & credit which is good

  2. I came here on a whim to try something new for dinner. I ordered the 8 piece chicken combo; half grilled and half fried. Along with their sides: plantains, corn salad, rice, and chicken empanadas. My food took less than ten minutes to come out. I was excited to get home and dig in.

    Ugh what a mistake. Pollo Campero I wanted to like you. I really did, but the food here needs work. The Peruvian style lime infused chicken was tasteless. The fried chicken had a hint of seasoning but nothing to write home about.

    The empanadas were filled with grease. I thought I asked for chicken not oil empanadas. As soon as I bit into the empanada out comes a pepito pepper and three tablespoons of oil squirted out. The empanada was so oily that it overpowered the chicken filling.

    The plantains were just as oily. To the point that I had to pat them dry to get some of the excess oil off. Don't even think about ordering the corn salad. I'm not sure what was going on but my palate did not like it.

    I'm not fond of anything here.
    You've been warned.

  3. I came here purely out of chance bc I was on jury duty and not much around to get excited over. so I see this what looked like a typical Peruvian chicken spot and when I got closer looks more like a budding franchise.  They had a nice array of different Spanish dishes fried chicken of course and grilled as well. I went with the grilled chicken with a side of yuca fries (which were made fresh not frozen ) and I was very impressed with the chicken full of flavor not dry at all and the guava juice was very good not too sweet.  If I have jury duty tomorrow I'll probably come back
