Pollo Campero is one of those names you hear everywhere in Guatemala, but trying it on Calle del Arco in Antigua really showed us why it’s so beloved. Simply put—the fried chicken here is perfect. Crispy, golden, and seasoned just right, it manages to be flavorful without ever feeling greasy or heavy. The crunch is addictive, and the meat stays tender and juicy with every bite.
We stopped in after walking along Calle del Arco, and the location couldn’t be more convenient. The restaurant itself is clean, comfortable, and offers a lively energy with both locals and travelers stopping in. Service was quick and friendly, making it easy to enjoy a satisfying meal without a long wait.
We ordered a mix of fried chicken pieces with sides, and everything tasted fresh and made with care. Even something as simple as the fries hit the spot—crispy and hot, perfect for dipping. The portion sizes were generous, offering great value for the price.
For anyone visiting Antigua, this spot is more than just a chain—it’s part of the cultural experience. If you want comfort food that delivers every time, Pollo Campero on Calle del Arco is absolutely worth a visit.
