Our Story

Pollo Campero restaurant interior

Founded in 1971 in Guatemala, Pollo Campero began as a small family restaurant with a big dream: to serve the most delicious, perfectly seasoned chicken using traditional recipes passed down through generations.

Our founder's vision was simple yet profound - create a place where families could gather to enjoy authentic, high-quality food in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. What started as a single location has grown into a beloved brand, but our commitment to quality and tradition remains unchanged.

Every piece of chicken is marinated for hours in our secret blend of spices, ensuring that distinct flavor that has made us famous across Latin America and beyond. We're not just serving food; we're sharing a piece of our heritage with every meal.
