Pollo Campero to open 5th Manhattan location on May 16

Opening on Thursday, May 16, the new Pollo Campero restaurant at 273 Canal St. will be the brand’s fifth Manhattan location and 15th in the greater New York area, giving residents even more opportunity to try Campero’s uniquely flavorful chicken that is considered “a national treasure of Guatemala.”

The new location will serve Campero’s fried and grilled chicken made from family recipes passed down from generation to generation, along with chicken sandwiches, empanadas, salads and bowls, plus unique sides like sweet plantains and yuca fries. Individual and family meals are available, along with catering options.

To celebrate, Pollo Campero Chinatown will host a grand opening event on May 16th featuring an appearance from brand mascot, Pollito, and prizes and giveaways throughout the day. The first 100 guests in line at the restaurant at 9 a.m. that day will be entered into the Golden Ticket giveaway for a chance to win free Pollo Campero for a year.

Pollo Campero will be open daily from 8 a.m.-10 p.m.
