Offering fast and flavorful food since its founding in Guatemala in 1971, Pollo Campero has been growing consistently in the United States in recent years and now encompasses hundreds of locations in several countries.
As the brand expands, it appears to be planning its first location in the Tampa market. Paperwork submitted by Pollo Campero of Florida, LLC shows a new Pollo Campero opening at 6331 W Waters Ave., near the intersection with Henderson Road.
Pollo Campero is “a unique food experience that’s full of life and seasoned with a little zest,” says the brand’s website. “But it’s not just any food. We’re talking about marinated to the bone, slow-down-and-enjoy-every-bite, food. Flavor that’s more than skin deep—that’s bold, complex and a little unexpected. Flavor that is not only in our food but baked into our DNA and expressed with our passion.”
The chain’s menu is centered on Individual Meals like the 4 Piece Special (Choice of Campero Fried, Grilled or Both; includes 4 Pieces of Chicken, 2 Sides and Choice of Tortilla or Dinner Roll), the Campero Spicy Chicken Sandwich Meal. There are also favorites like the Empanada Trio (Our crispy, golden-brown empanada is stuffed with freshly pulled chicken, roasted corn, peppers, onion, and Monterey Jack cheese; seasoned to perfection with our smokey and tangy Campero sauce) and the Campero Bowl (Our freshest flavors remixed into a new classic; each bowl contains Campero rice, Campero beans, spring mix, roasted corn & peppers, cherry tomatoes, smashed avocado, and feta cheese).
What Now reached out on Friday to Campero USA Director of Development Fabiola Suarez to inquire about plans for the chain’s first Tampa location. Suarez was not immediately available for comment.
