I lived in Guatemala for a couple years and ran into this restaurant there a little over a decade. Apparently they've made it far from home now.
Now for the food itself: the horchata is more authentic than the majority of other Latino restaurants. Yuca could replace the potato if more people actually knew about it (aka delicious). Fried sweet plantaín is absolutely divine. I don't even like bananas but holy cow this is straight candy. Salty plantain chips are dumb when this is even an options. The trouble is that I have yet to find someone who feels as passionately about this as I do.
Complaining: They were always expensive there but wow they are just that much more money here. Nuggies for over a buck a piece?! To be fair, Chick-Fil-A does the same thing but there's a reason I whine about them too haha. I suppose I'm too much of a tight wad for my own good.
Rant continued: Something I find absolutely hilarious is that they serve a Mexican hot sauce with the food here ... Anyone who knows anything about Chapines (Guatemalans) would know that most of them aren't exactly fond of their neighbor there and that the majority don't use spicy stuff on their food. To be fair, here in Texas, the majority of the customers do so it's understandable that they adapt.
When I finished eating, I couldn't find the trash can.
THE CHICKEN IS NOT DRY
From the outside, it looks a lot like a Pollo Regio, and fear of more Dee Snider dehydrated chicken kept me from trying it for months. But the chicken is even juicier than KFC. As best I can describe, this is like healthier KFC with a Mexican "fresh grill influence. Same family meal and side styles as well as chicken sandwiches and bowls.
Only negative is their drink game is weak. Minimal soda choices, slow replenishment on horchata, no sweet tea in Texas.
Very underrated! Anytime we pass by here we make sure to stop and get the chicken sandwich! Please try it out, people are super nice as well!
Peruvian Chicken Tacos are heavenly to put it mildly. I brought numerous people from all over the country and metroplex to try them. All said they were excellent several said this was the best food they'd ever had.
There aren't many places who can rival my grilled chicken. This place has phenomenal food. That street corn is superb and the rice is magnificent
Delicious food, everything nicely flavored and fully cooked, good service, and the cashiers were very nice and helpful. I completely recommend this place!
This location has been hands down the best pollo campero I have visited. When I first walked in I was greeting by Julio, who was kind enough to get a booster sit for us. The people who took out order where also very kind. Food was great and service was even better. I want to give Julio a big thanks for making our visit at this location such a good experience. P.s Julio definitely deserves a raise...
the food was good and everything but when we came home with the food we noticed the container wasn’t even full 👎
We enjoyed the food and the fast service. The employees were very friendly.
The only problems were the unbussed tables and many tables weren’t wiped down.
The men’s and women’s restrooms were very messy. The waste baskets were overflowing with dirty paper towels.
This place is on point!!! It was clean, service great, and food was off the chain!!!! They need one of these up in frisco area. I will be back!!!!
