Pollo Campero

For my first time I can say it was an amazing experience. Great customer service and the employees are very nice and welcoming. Pollo campero 5th Ave Brooklyn is a must.

All the food we ordered taste great! Chicken are so juicy and yummy. Love the spices on grilled chicken. Empanadas are delicious. All menu are fairly priced. Staffs are friendly too. Overall, our family had a decent good time. Definitely gonna go again.

We are visiting Brooklyn and found a nice little hole in the wall gem. The place is nice and clean. The service was excellent and the food here is delicious. Well seasoned the chicken is juicy and grape and there’s a homey vibe because they serve your food on actual plates. I am very satisfied with my meal and service.

This location is honestly the best location of the franchise. The place is super clean, the staff is very nice and understanding, The owner goes above and beyond to fix any issues, and the food is delicious, If you like good crispy or roasted chicken order from here👍

The service was completely disrespectful, especially the woman with the scar on her face. Today, even though my order was ready, she deliberately delayed us, the Black delivery drivers, in favor of the Spanish ones. Today, December 25, 2025, at 5 PM, for the second time, she deliberately delayed me for over an hour, even though her colleagues begged her to let me go. She displays racist malice towards Black customers and delivery drivers. Even if you are the owner, what benefit does this kind of behavior have for the business?

Super delicious!! I loved the food here, it tasted like luxury in the ghetto!! Never ate something so yummy. Yummy pollito, yummy pansito😘😊❤️ Not to mention the amazing service I received!! #recomend #yummy #delicious

The food is amazing must try my favorite restaurant in sunset.

I loved the food and the tables were clean friendly staff

Food is good their flavor is very close to the origins flavors from Guatemala or e Salvador , you can tell the difference in the American soil chickens all hormone taste to the all natural chickens from Latin America , the service is better in Central America , the price is little to much but this chicken is better than many in America Coleslaw is a disgrace nothing like back home this is the American way coleslaw, the orchatta is not fresh natural is processed that's expected ,all their drinks are not the original like in Central America but the chicken is ok

Good service, quick food was prepared. Place looks clean was quiet. The chicken taste is good , my fries were kinda cold tho. Every else good.

Pleasantly surprised at the flavor this place has to offer. Ordered their fried and grilled chicken and definitely preferred the grilled as it is more flavorful. The empanadas can be skipped. Plantains and yuca fries were delicious. This place was packed on a Friday night and thank goodness we ordered ahead through the app. Would definitely revisit.

I have only ordered takeout/delivery. There are pros and cons about the food. The pros: the 3 piece chickens are pretty good; the grilled chicken salad bowl is good; and they pack their boxes nicely and neat. The cons: the empanadas are a bit greasy; the portion size for everything is small; the chicken nuggets are small and for the price i can get 2.5x the amount from Chick-fil-A; and their portion size for their sides such as rice, yuca fries, and plantains are small as well. Overall, the flavors for most of their foods are there, but the price/portion is not worth it! You will end up spending more just to be full.

Fake advertisements, if you do not say you saw a poster outside of the restaurant the people taking order will not offer it and just make you overspend, also they will lie to you that they don't have small size drinks to make you buy the large one. horrible experience

I went back for my fourth time. I had the 3pc. Fried (breast & wing), w/ Yuca Fries & Plantains. Their chicken breast is among the largest of all the chicken chain restaurants. The crust stays on, and the taste slaps! Of about 10 visits, I have never had an issue with the chicken, fried or grilled. I don't live in the neighborhood, but will be visiting this 5th. Ave. location for a 5th time. Absolutely no complaints.

Me and co workers order at least twice a month... Lol we planned this as our catering an order the family for 6-8 with empanadas this was a hit

IMHO, best fried chicken in the . Find it at Pollo Campero. They've got locations globally. I went to the Brooklyn location, but they're also in L.I., Queens, and have a new Manhattan location. Very inexpensive and great rewards program on their app. Got the three piece meal. Usually, they get maduros as the side, but they are out. Got the yucca fries with the campero dipping sauce. Note: usually, they are making the fried chicken to order, so fast food it is not. It's Guatemalan cuisine. They also deliver. Staff is very nice, but the primary language is Spanish. Ambiance is a basic fast food joint. They don't have trash, so people leave their trays and trash behind till its bussed and cleaned.

Placed an order through Postmates and the food came really quick considering I live pretty far from this location. I have never heard of or tried this place before and I'm glad I have. My family and I had the two piece meal which came with a side and dinner roll. We tried both the fried and grilled chicken and definitely prefer the fried chicken more. The skin was very crispy and flavorful. For the grilled chicken, it was a little too salty for us but the chicken was still packed with flavor. For the sides, we tried the corn salad and the campero rice. The corn salad was delicious! Every ingredient worked so well together. Only issue I had was that there was a lot of liquid in the corn salad and it was pretty soggy. We also had the fried chicken sandwich and it was really tender and delicious. The bun and pickles were really good and definitely taste better than the other fried chicken sandwiches I had at other restaurants. The prices are very decent as well which makes this place worth trying! I would definitely order from here again the next time I'm craving fried chicken.

I love the camperotos and they are very cordial always. Good place to eat.the place is clean and the bathrooms are also very clean.

The best chicken of this City. Just they need to change the salad. Has weird dressing flavor.

Food was good until i got to the bottom of the fries and found a piece of hair?? Sponge?? I have no idea what was on my french fry but it looked DISGUSTING and i stopped eating the rest of it immediately. Doesn't seem sanitary here. Check your food before eating

Haven't had this in a minute ever since this restaurant first opened! I ordered the Three Piece Meal ($7.75) and my brother ordered the Campero Sandwich ($7.25) and Two Piece Meal ($6.25). Everything was super well packaged, placed neatly in a big brown bag. My 3pc meal came with a choice of chicken, side, and dinner roll/tortilla. The Dinner Roll is just plain o'l bread, nothing special. My Mashed Potatoes for side was unfortunately not as buttery as Popeyes, but still hits the spot. Of course, the main highlight is the chicken! Right away, I noticed how juicy and soft it was. The addicting tanginess from the sauce was also chefs kiss. The Empanadas, which we got as add-ons, didn't taste like typical ones but weren't bad! Wish we had some green sauce. In addition to their chicken, their Yuca Fries could seriously be their signature. I think I just fell in love with these South American, subtly sweet tasting fries. Love the mix of crispiness and starchiness! Unfortunately, their Fried Chicken Sandwich was drier than the Sahara Desert, according to my brother.

no napkins or utensils wtf kinda service is this ! I wont be coming back here. this is not the first time bit will be the last

really slow service, even when the restaurant looks relevantly calm they take so long, i'm writing this review 20mins after i placed my order

Good quality food, fast service. Plenty of tables to eat in or take out. Great chicken sandwich, the sauce is excellent

Only tried the chicken nuggets. They're fresh and fried to perfection. Comes with a cute little dinner roll. Right amount of seasoning. Very tasty. Their house made sauce is pretty much a honey mustard. Delish. Would definitely try their other items.

at my first visit i got a mixed order of grilled and fried. i was super psyched about that option being available. I ordered fries and beans as my two sides for my combo. the combo does not come with a drink but i like that i could get horchata, or jamaica or a mango drink. i was given a cup and i was able to taste each before deciding on the jamaica drink. i loved it. it's hibiscus tea with a hint of cherry flavor. the order arrived fast but not too fast where i did not trust the process. the staff is very nice and if one stays the food is served on a large ceramic plate. i actually preferred the fried chicken over the grilled. the grilled in a sense is healthier but i did not care for the tangy lemony taste. the fried chicken was slightly salty though. i went back to pollo campero two more times last week. i purchased an ice cream sundae on my second visit and i had a chicken sandwich on my third visit. the chicken sandwich is also available in grilled or fried. i had it fried but it was just ok. it comes with a spicy mustard and some shredded lettuce as a topping. i got the sweet plantain as my side. if i am in the area i may go back for some fried chicken and some yuca fries. overall the food is good but not that much different if one choses fries as a side item.

Last summer -- during the 6-ish months of unemployment that so many of us who work in the full service restaurant universe waited out -- the only marker of time that helped my boyfriend and I remember what day of the week it was was Pollo Campero's Wednesday BOGO chicken sandwich deal. I don't think that promo is a thing anymore but damn, it really gave us both a taste for their fantastic crispy chicken sandwiches and thin cut fries that will endure forever. The good news is that these guys frequently run all sorts of similar specials that can be redeemed through their app (and that you'll get timely notifications about if you want them!). We've tried a bunch of other menu items since and have never been disappointed. The team at this location has been nothing but friendly and professional throughout the past extremely difficult year and I'm so grateful for their essential work. Happy 50th Anniversary, P.C.!

Food is great, but whoever is working the counter or packing ubereats orders should make sure they read before they pack shit up for the customer or pick up person. Whether I order in person or online, something in my order is always missing. Only saving grace is when I order in person I can come back and demand what I ordered instead of having to leave with half my meal missing. Do better.

Loving their fried chicken. It's got a nice flavor to it. There has been a bit of wait for orders but the end result was worth the wait.

The restaurant has a consistent problem with accuracy of their orders and having them ready in time.

I came here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. My husband and I just recently moved to this neighborhood and it's been great checking out all the restaurants. You order at the front and someone delivers the food to your table. We ordered the 3 piece chicken combo meal which includes one side and a roll or tortilla. If you're okay with just dark meat (leg and thigh), the combo meal is $2 cheaper. You can get the Campero fried chicken or the citrus Peruvian grilled chicken. We ordered the Campero fried chicken, the sweet plaintains side, and a roll. We also ordered a large mango drink (free refills). The fried chicken was crunchy and juicy. The portion of the side was a bit small though. The place was clean and there's a lot of seating. Next time, I'll try their grilled chicken and the fried yuca side. FYI - You can get a free piece of fried chicken (leg or thigh) with Yelp check in.

Ate their food a couple times and finally coming around to They make some of the best fried chicken . It's seasoned really well and fresh with just the right amount of breading. Definitely a notch above Popeyes and KFC for sure . Their yuca fries is also on point and overall worth it as an occasional cheat meal .

se tardaron por un sándwich y luego me lo dieron mal, ya son muchas veces. Aveces no tienen pechugas. pero así en general el pollo está rico

Really good chicken! Better than other chains. I'm glad I found it here in sunset park. The chicken is very well seasoned and the staffs at this location is also very nice. Also, the price is very reasonable too.

Tried this place for the first time and the chicken was delicious so flavorful the French fries were cold and soggy but the chicken was good enough for a five star review deff will order again!!! I would also add I don't write reviews unless I'm extremely pleased or displeased and I've lived in Brooklyn my whole life.....

This place is good for quick fast food with diner type treatment. The food choice is not different from going to a fast food joint - but the taste of the chicken is definitely special. I am just a bit upset that they ran out of the grilled flavour at 4pm - which i wanted to try because it was citrus peruvian flavour. Overall, this place is very filling - the price is higher than other chicken fast food places like popeyes and KFC.

Desafortunadamente la comida es buena pero los empleados no, ya que les pedimos una orden y no nos la dieron completa. Ninguna mesa estaba disponible cuando llegamos porque nadie recoge la basura de la mesa y aunque uno quiera limpiar no se puede porque no tienen ni un bote de basura.

This place was awesome! I just had this for dinner tonight because I was craving fried chicken that wasn't KFC or Popeyes. I found this place accidentally and decided to give it a shot! I am so glad I did because I was in for a really pleasant surprise. The service was great. The person that helped me was a gentleman and he was very nice. The person helping him get my pickup order was also really nice. I don't speak Spanish, but that didn't stop us from communicating. I tried both the fried and grilled chicken. The fried was so good! It reminded me of KFC's original recipe where the skin is all crunchy and just crunch with no flavor. This was still fried, but it had so much flavor to it. It also wasn't too greasy. The chicken was so moist and so much flavor! I normally don't like grilled chicken either, but this grilled chicken was also delicious! Wow! I wasn't expecting it to be so good. The grilled chicken had a lemon pepper taste or something. I can't pinpoint it, but the seasonings they used made it taste really good. The grilled chicken was also really moist and not dry! Wow! I highly recommend coming here for their chicken. This is much better than KFC and Popeyes! Their sides were also great too. It's nice to have a variety that isn't the usual mashed, cole slaw and fries. I tried the yuca fries, corn salad, rice, beans and everything was great! I loved the variety. You can also choose between a dinner roll or a tortilla. Another win! If you are craving some fried chicken and want something different, definitely come here! It's nice to support something that's not KFC and Popeyes. I will definitely be back. Thanks for a great dinner tonight!

Great place, the food was delicious the staff is very friendly. Located in Brooklyn on 5ave i was hungry wanted something quick and I have to tell you I really enjoyed my meal. Thank you Pollo Campero for a good meal I will defiantly be back. ChrisNYCrealestate.com

In my opinion, hands down the best fast food fried chicken in the world. They are originally from Guatemala and now all over the world, even in China. When you think fried chicken you normally think of KFC or Popeyes. But once you have this, it changes your fried chicken world! It's so crispy when it's fresh, not dripping with oil or gooey at all. But yet, juicy! Even the white meat is so good. This one is their newest location in Brooklyn! We love it with their fresh crunchy coleslaw. Just don't expect American coleslaw which is full of sugar. Theirs is fresh, crunchy and oh so good. They have great fried Yuca. Great sides like rice and Campero beans. Desserts like flan and tres leches. Yummy yummy!! This food brings every Central American back home like nobody's business. Here in NYC, they are in multiple locations in Queens, Brooklyn, Long Island and NJ. Again, it's fast food. Don't expect much from service and you'll have a blast. :)

The food was soooo good. I ordered a family meal, with two sides, yucca fries & French fries and guava juice. Honestly have no complaints. The staff was very nice to my friends & I, despite us asking for a million condiments lol. She was so sweet that she gave us one of each just to try it every one out. You can tell that the chicken that they serve are far from artificial and gmo free. It was so authentic tasting, even down to the texture of it. I recommend Pollo if you want a Latin spin to your reg chicken spot meal. It's been a month since I visited and my friends bring up that juice at least once a week lol.

Went there Friday night at 8:30 pm They had no more grilled chicken The fried chicken was ok, better than kfc And the fried plantains were good More of a 2.5 than a 2 Will need to go back and get the grilled chicken for a full review

The food is alright, it's what you would expect for cheap fast food. It's good if you're in the mood for some quick Hispanic food and it does just that. Some things like mashed potatoes or the little bread that comes with some meals just doesn't taste good. But what helps balance out the food is the chicken. I think the grilled chicken is probably the best thing they have on their menu. I've tried it a few times and it never fails to taste so good. Some people think it's great but you can go to other smaller places that have similar stuff for cheaper and have better taste.

The food at this location is much like the others, only problem when I came is that there was no more grilled chicken. But to be fair it was 20 minutes to closing. The music was pumping like a small Latin nightclub and we shuffled it up while in line (it was chilly on there, they were cleaning). The bathrooms were spotless and the cashier was friendly. This is a nice pit stop for a quick bite if you are in the area.

This spot serving place was wonderful great taste food amazing serving ,the corn salad it was super good ,the chicken we try both fry and grilled both Delicious and kind people I will definitely recommended. la familia disfruto de esta Experiencia.

Excelente service. Good food. Good workers.

Unless you've had fried chicken from Central America or the Caribbean, you won't get what all the fuss is about. Love PC's fried chicken! The corn salad is one of my favorites and I always get the horchata drink. Service has improved so much since opening day. I'm so mad I cannot remember her name, but this young lady is one of the best customer service fast food workers that's ever served me. Friendly, thorough and made several menu suggestions and didn't rush me at all. The rest of the staff seems to defer to her so maybe she's the manager but keep it up girl! They tend to have coupons and I think you get value for your money. The restaurant on the 3x I visited was clean. I have never used their restroom and there's no alcohol served here (FYI). I'll be back.

This is quality fast food. The grilled chicken has great seasoning and flavors. The fried chicken is good too. I like to make my own tacos with the campero beans and Street corn. Good deal. Definitely a good quick spot to eat. Family friendly.

Clean establishment friendly girl named Jennifer at the register but her supervisor (a heavy set female with glasses) actually called her a fucking bitch right in front me and several other guests I will not be returning

Really good,non GMO pollo restaurant. All the chicken here is full of flavor. This is finger licking good chicken with a Latin twist. You have yuca fries or platano maduros, to drink hocharta,tamarindo,desert is flan or arroz con leche. I recommend you to try their Peruvian citrus chicken,grilled. Oh man, the best grilled chicken I've had in a long time,so juicy and flavorful. I always get tamarindo (tamarind) with my drink, its good,not great,non the less. They get a four rather than a five,due to slow service. The wait time on average is 15-20 minutes. Therefore give yourself ample room to wait if not you'll get hangry. So come to Sunset Park La Quinta and give Pollo Campero a try.

3 starts because chicken is good. They ask of you want grilled or fried. I said fried. After 30!!! Minutes worker comes up to our table saying they don't have grilled, only fried or for grilled have to wait more. So we agreed to get fried but asked to get breast part since they are giving us this inconvenience. And they said they can't give us breast no matter that we already waited half an hour. And the girl said if you still want it grilled so wait 30!! Minutes more. So total of an hour of waiting time. With a one year old child in the stroller. Food is good but with such a bad attitude this is not even called customer service. If you knew you won't have grilled why wouldn't you tell me right away instead of making me wait for 30 minutes for nothing! I hope manager reads it and something will be changed in the way workers talk to customers because this is plain unprofessional.

Authentic, taste just like Guatemala's Pollo Campero. I will be coming back love their fried chicken it's crispy and juicy.The chicken empanada is pretty good too

Two stars for the effort. The grilled chicken was tasty but the service was horrible. You walk in, order your meal then wait for it. Just like any other fast food place. The problem for me was that the 1 and only cashier/person taking my order must have been brand new because not only was she super slow but she didn't know a thing about the menu or prices. She kept calling over to another person in the kitchen to ask questions about the menu while taking my order. Frustrating.

Delicioso!!! The wait wasn't too bad like the other reviews have stated but I must admit that it wasn't too busy. My friend and I ordered the 5 camperitos with a classic side dish (she got the rice and I got the black beans), each meal came up to a cool 5.46 bucks. Chicken was tasty but a bit chewy; it doesn't melt in your mouth. It was crispy but I let it get too cool so it was a bit hard. The restaurant was very clean and spotless. I would definitely like to revisit again since it doesn't hurt the pockets.

The place is has really good chicken but the service is HORRIBLE. The cashier had such and attitude (Sandra I think her name is) the wait time was ridiculously long. Ugh.

came upon this place randomly craving for chicken. I love the grill chicken, the guava juice is delicious, the sides are fresh and yummy. Given the chickens are non hmo they are a little small. But the sides make up for all it. the maduros (plantain) wasn't too burn and matching it with soul cream was the first i ever tried. only part is it takes a while for the food, considering it looks like a fast food you thought it would be fast. I went there 3 times and they always seems to mess up my order. twice i was given friend chicken instead of grill. The grill chicken is okay. I've had KFC, Popeyes, Roy Rogers and random fried chicken and this one is okay. not too dry and not covered in a lot of flour. the service is why i gave it 3 stars. it's not bad chicken place that speaks english in the middle of sunset park.

Juice chicken!!! they are fast. Loved their sweet plantains!!! Yuka frita yay!!!!! Delicious!!!! You can pick bread or corn tortillas with your . Horchat, guava and tamarindo juice so..... good!!!!!!
