Pollo Campero

Super Nice staff, my cashier was Saul and he explained the menu very nicely. Also the chicken is so delicious ! Thank you

First time try Pollo Campero in San Francisco and the experience wasn’t good that I expected. The grilled chicken that I got still raw inside.

Ok so i was gonna give this place a chance since the first store opened in the Mission but..i’m sorry its still bad. I’m from Guatemala & this chicken back home is the thing! But not this pollo campero, the chicken had no taste & the famous smell its known for was not there, i did get a side of plantains does where the highlight of the night! Don’t know if the place was empty because it was raining outside but if this place continues selling chicken like the one i got, it won’t last open much longer. I was really looking forward to it too! Parking might be difficult to find i suggest you take public transportation. Update: So management responded back & went back a second time, the manager on duty was super friendly & gave a meal on the house with two sides. She said they get the ingredients directly from Central America & said she was sorry to hear it had a bad experience the first time. What i did notice was that when i went this 2nd time i could smell the famous smell pollo campero has, the first time i didn’t get that, this second time the chicken tasted way better! I guess it depends who’s making the chicken, it’s a hit or miss.

The chicken is very delicious, pero el lugar It is extremely small. You have to wait literally, until someone clears a table. Let's not talk anymore, that several people are going.

QUE DELICIA!!! I AM VERY VERY EXCITED TO WRITE THIS REVIEW CAUSE POLLO CAMPERO FISHERMANS ITS THE BEST LOCATION… THE DELICIOUS CHICKEN SO CRISPY AND FULL OF FLAVOR JUST LIKE BACK IN EL SALVADOR.

I LOVED MY EXPERIENCE IN THIS RESTAURANT AND DEFINITELY I RECOMMEND IT. VENGAN A COMER POLLO CAMPERO SABOR Y ALEGRÍA PARA TODA LA FAMILIA ❤️

Holy Moly! We came in here as a big group as part of a tour group, and we were immediately greeted with a warm welcome and everyone had seats. We ordered the 12-piece to share, and the chicken was succulent and impeccable, fried to perfection and seasoned generously. It was hot and juicy, and beats out most fried chicken joints I’ve been to. The mac and cheese was warm and cheesy, and the fries were crispy and hot. The bread rolls were a perfect compliment to the food. Special mention to the Horchata, which was sweet and had a delicious cinnamon taste. Great service from everyone, and the food came out really fast. 10/10 would come again.

Very delicious chicken and FANTASTIC service. The lovely staff checked in on us and food came very fast. They even gave us free drinks! They are very passionate about their mission to share quality and flavourful chicken to bring people together. The restaurant was very clean and comfortable and we had a great experience!

Of the approximately 1 million words contained in the English lexicon, very few can describe the truely life altering experience that is enjoying a meal at Pollo Campero. Some would say “beautiful”, others might say “simply fantastic”, I would say perfect. The food quality is of such impeccable majesty as to represent the stuff of legend. Equally, the service quality was flawless with staff that were as ruthlessly efficient and competent as they were kind and generous. In a world filled with global fast food behemoths and marketing ploys, it is the quote excellence that is Pollo Campero that stands head and shoulders above the rest. There is no doubt in my mind that any and all who enter this establishment shall find themselves immersed in the same excellence that I have experienced here today .

I'm a local, but I still love coming down to this neighborhood for the beautiful waterfront and boisterous sea lions. Lots of tourist traps that serve mediocre food at high prices, so this place is a welcome addition since you can get a lot of tasty food for a reasonable amount of money. Plus really fun popular vibe here. 8-Piece Fried Chicken (Mixed): When I ordered the 8-piece, the cashier asked if only dark meat was fine. I strongly protested and asked for the mixed. Every piece had a nicely spiced breading that was quite crunchy. All the chicken was tender. The wings and drumsticks are fun quick eats, but that chicken breast was so nice and hearty. Campero Beans: Such an amazing side, way better than anything at KFC. Tastes homemade. Loved using the tortillas on this alone, between chicken bites. Yuca Fries: Way heartier than potato fries. Crunchy exterior and pasty interior. The creamy spicy sauce was a great pairing. Mango Drink: Very sweet. Like one of those fruit "drinks" from the cheap section of the grocery store that's mostly high fructose corn syrup and a little bit of actual fruit juice. I mean, it's more interesting than big brand soda, but I was hoping for something that was fruitier.

Good food, excellent service from everybody in this place. Decorations are also very nice. It is expensive like anything else in sf but it is a good portion and chicken is better than kfc or Popeyes

I haven't been to a Pollo Campero in such a long time. The last time I went I was 10 and I was eating it in Guatemala City. When my friends mentioned that there was one in the Warf and that we had to come and I said sure. Parking was easy, location of everything was easy. We came at night on a Sunday so it was pretty empty. When we walked in we all were ordering separate dishes but the cashier said it was better for us to get the family meal. It definitely was and we saved about $40 doing that way instead. once the food came it was just as good as I remember it. Crispy, Crunchy and moist in side. All the sides were great as well. We ordered the fries, yuca fries, Mac and cheese, tortillas and plantains. The set up of the location is exactly how you would picture it being for the city, same for the bathroom. code and only one ( I get it, it's the city). one the receipt you can fill out a satisfaction questioner and you get a free 2 piece chicken so we did that and got it that day before leaving. Will be coming back again

The empanada I tried was average..the money looks fun..for groups or family..want to try pollo campero sometime..this one was at the wharf..new maybe..

Needed a quick side. Service was very sweet, the place had quite the Number of people in attendance around lunchtime. The ladies were very polite and Cleanly and organized.

I walk by this place all the time - if you're a California native, you may think it looks like a hybrid between El Pollo Loco and Chick-fil-A. But what caught my eye were the photos outside of the deluxe sandwiches, one of which was the Queso Bacon Chicken Sandwich. Tried it myself tonight - I'm sold. Despite the line being sizable (that's a good sign!) when we arrived, the man working behind the register immediately and intuitively picked up that we were there for a take-out order. He greeted us kindly and quickly, we were in and out under a minute. Once I got home, it was time to see if life imitates art. I was immediately impressed with the packaging - it was sturdy and chic. And what's inside... wow . Chicken was tender, bacon was crispy, Queso was light and flavorful. The Queso Bacon Chicken sandwich may be my new favorite quick bite chicken sandwich. Highly recommend.

This place is delicious compared to the one on mission yikes stay away from there they over fry they're chicken till they're no meat wtf anyways this place tasted better felt better staff was better seating was normal not making it feel like a resteraunt better

Insanely juicy & flavorful chicken. They don't speak english and that's ok. The mac & cheese was also really good and comparable to KFC. I love the spices in the chicken!

My order never arrived. The actual address for San Francisco Brewing Company was incorrect.

Maaan, ever since I found out about this Chicken Shop Chain, I haven't stop... I'm hypnotized by the flavor, freshness, and consistency. My El Salvadorian Brother told me this Chain is 45+ years old. It's older than me. And I feel like I've been missing out all my life. You don't want to make that same mistake as me. It taste like a cross between the Old Kwik Way Chicken in Oakland and Gus's Chicken, but less spicy. It's that Ole so good crispness.

In the realm of fast food chicken this place is really good. Good service. Friendly staff. At the moment very clean. Kids LOVED it. Superior to kfc etc

Service it's really bad it's like you're talking to a robot also I notice the flavor on the chicken it's different than the one by mission street I asked for mixed pieces and I got lots of wings people in that kitchen looks mad or sad their energy looks sad. In general you don't feel welcome in here I love campero but this location seems lack of flavor.

Not what I expected for "fried" chicken. Do t plan on going back. Service was also horrible, especially the cashier she was so inpatient for my first time here.

I purchased a family meal for pickup using online ordering for my family on a very very busy day. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. We had a picnic elsewhere, but the indoor dining space looked clean and well-organized.

chicken breast was bloody & not cooked all the way, yuka fries were so hard u couldn't bite into them, & to top it off I had a bone!! in my empanada and it was not small smh
