Make Life More Flavorful

Pollo Campero first opened its doors as a tiny, family-owned restaurant in Guatemala in 1971 with the goal of treating family and friends to its prized chicken recipe passed down from generation to generation.

Now with over 350 Locations worldwide, Pollo Campero has become world-renowned for our flavorful chicken. Hand-breaded and marinated with our proprietary blend of seasonings, our chicken is second to none. With scratch-made sides and a bevy of specialty drinks, customers rave about our brand.

Our mission is to make life more flavorful.
