Pollo Campero, Houston

First established in Guatemala in 1971, this family-owned eatery is now an international franchise offering authentic, affordable Latin fare. At Houston’s Bellaire location, the festive dining area is designed in a palette of bright orange and yellow and is filled with upbeat bachata music. After ordering at the counter, patrons sit at simple tables to enjoy the restaurant’s signature fried chicken, hand-prepared every day with a secret blend of herbs and spices. In addition to selections from the salsa bar, diners can also pair their chicken with traditional sides like sweet plantains and Campero beans.
