Pollo Campero
Last night, we tried a new fast-food place. Yes, fast food. And we were very, very happy.
A few weeks (months?) ago, I noticed a new chicken place in Herndon. Ho hum, we are awash in chicken places around here. Didn't think much about it. Then yesterday, the NY Times Food section had a short piece on the opening of Pollo Campero with customers lined up down the street. Aha, that is the name of the place in Herndon. So we must try it.
The fried chicken was moist and flavorful, with a crispy, spicy coating. The dinners come with tortillas or biscuit, one side dish, and a soda. DH chose the mashed potatoes, and I had beans; we both had tortillas and a selection of salsas from the salsa bar. It was all good.
They have a few tables outside in front so we sat there and devoured everything. As we were leaving I said "We will be back.......tomorrow".
More info on the NY opening here and here.
