What the creator captured
SnackEatingSnacks concluded that Pollo Campero should go national because their fried chicken was exceptionally crispy, juicy, and well-seasoned. While he enjoyed the Lomo Saltado at La Granja and the sweet bread of the Medianoche at Cao Bakery, the Guatemalan fried chicken was the standout dish of the day. Despite some mediocre sides at all three locations, the quality of the main chicken dish made Pollo Campero his top pick.
