Free Pollo Campero Empanadas Friday!



Curious about Latin foods? Plainfield has filled up with restaurants featuring specialties of many South and Central American nations and one that began in Guatemala, Pollo Campero, will entice you with free empanadas Friday.

From a Pollo Campero press release:
“The three choices include a Spicy Chicken empanada filled with Campero’s famous juicy chicken, green tomatillo salsa, Monterrey Jack cheese and freshly chopped cilantro; the Citrus Chicken empanada made with Campero chicken, grilled onions, tamarindo sauce and shredded Monterrey Jack cheese; and a Black Bean and Cheese empanada filled with flavorful black beans, Monterrey Jack cheese, fresh cilantro, diced onion, and a touch of smoked chipotle.”

Crowds of fans jammed Pollo Campero when it opened at East Front Street and Roosevelt Avenue in late 2010.  It is one of more than 345 Pollo Campero restaurants in 14 countries, with 50 in the United States. 

I have stopped in to the Plainfield Pollo Campero after PMUA meetings to pick up some take-out yuca fries. There is also a large, bright dining room on the Roosevelt Avenue side, that I got to see when the Democratic City Committee welcomed Congressman Rush Holt to Plainfield, which is now in the 12th Congressional District.

Stop by on Friday and try an empanada at Pollo Campero.

  1. Will there be free politics for the folks when they get there too?

  2. I love Pollo Campero, but for my belly width have to avoid it most times. :-)

    The food is wonderful, though, and the staff friendly and helpful.

  3. I LOVE chicken empanadas, but for the same reason as Nathan, I have to avoid them. :(

    Perhaps I can make an exception, though. :D
