Pollo Campero

I wanted to ask if Gus Fring was there.

The chicken is hot and juicy. Lightly seasoned, lightly battered and fried to a dark crisp. Most of the crunch comes from the super crispy skin. It was not oily, when I bit the breast section the hot juices ran out. So hot it had to cool for a while before I could finish it. I liked the texture, the taste and the fact that it is not overly breaded. We had 2 three-piece meals with fries and beans. A plate full of great fries was under the chicken. The beans were tasty, spicey like chili beans. The restaurant was not crowded this afternoon. I believe the new has worn off. Reviewers’ ratings vary wildly. My wife and I enjoyed the meals, but I don’t believe Pollo Campero will dominate the fried chicken market in Tulsa.

Not by the same name, but it does remind me of the chicken restaurant in that popular TV series a from few years ago.

Today we checked out the chicken place. Food smelled so good from the parking lot lol. When you enter you can self seat yourself and look at the menu. Great for family style meals. We got a 8 pc with two sides an order of empanadas served with one side. Sides was beans and rice and sweet plantains. Drinks were delicious melon juice, horchata, hibiscus juice. 10/10 will try again.

The food was phenomenal the fried chicken was well cooked and a terrific flavor, like it was when my wife got it in Guatemala which is where she knew the chain from. We tried the yuca fries and got the tortillas and beans (great) regular fries and plantains not as done as we like(carmelized) but still pretty good if a little mushy. But we had not had the grilled chicken before and enjoyed it alot though the fried was the top choice. One of the boys cleaned the bone and that had not happened before. The campero sauce is good. The only draw back was a language barrier on the inside my Spanish is rusty at best and her English non existent it took 5 tries to convey kids meal. Some sides were wrong and an item was forgotten/not added but a different lady assumed control of our order and she did a great job. The other woman God bless her was trying very hard so I give them an a for effort but communication was an issue the guy behind me was much more fluent and did not have issues....I will use Google translate for sure if I run into it again.

We ordered an 18-piece for $43 we got half fried chicken and half grilled chicken Yucca fries, Yes I said Yucca fries (needs a sauce to be enjoyed), fried plantains, Mash Potatoes. Let me touch on the chicken, that chicken has been marinated it doesn't matter which one you choose their both so juicy they're messy the grilled chicken has a citrus like seasoning. Definitely not your typical KFC or Church's Chicken this is completely in a different direction when it comes to chicken. It's even tender so it's not rubbery or quite literally they fall off the bone
