Pollo Campero – North Las Vegas NV – Worth a Fork! Sure doesn’t seem like fast food!

Pollo Camero is a small casual restaurant that specializes in serving marinated, bold flavorful chicken since 1971. This restaurant started out from Guatemala. Pollo Campero is now in over 15 countries and has around 400 locations with around 70 of them in the United States. Two locations are in Las Vegas. They offer bowls, a salad, chicken sandwiches, 2, 3, 4, piece platters, empanadas, nuggets, family meals, side orders, desserts, and soft beverages.

The North Las Vegas location of Pollo Campero looks sort of like most fast food restaurants. you order and pay at the counter.

Grab your beverage and a number and seat yourself.

This is more than fast food.

Your meal comes to you on real plates with real silverware and they give you plenty of napkins.

We both tried a 4 piece platter.

I tried 1/2 grilled 1/2 fried dark meat chicken with macaroni and cheese, plantains, and tortillas.

I dig into the grilled thigh first. WOW! It’s juicy, tender, flavorful, and delicious. This is much better than most chicken you get at not all but many restaurants. I try some macaroni and cheese……This is reasonably good. It’s made with real cheeses and has a good flavor but is the mushy style…still pretty good. I try a plantain. The plantain is really GREAT! It’s wonderfully caramelized and is sweet and not too starchy or oily. It might be the best plantain that I’ve ever tried anywhere. The fried chicken thigh is amazing with a delicious shattering crisp skin and exterior. Inside is dripping juicy tender delicious chicken. The white corn tortillas was heated nicely. For me this is more than I can eat but my husband was able to eat his whole plate. He got the same chicken but tried the beans, rice, and roll.

He loved the chicken as much as I did. The roll was average. He didn’t hate the beans but they weren’t his favorite but he really enjoyed the rice and of course the chicken, Mac-n-cheese, plantains, and tortillas.

Pollo Campero was VERY GOOD and sure doesn’t seem like fast food.

The Forking Truth

Petite Kitchen – North Las Vegas NV – Hidden GEM Of North Las Vegas – Worth a Fork! ***UPDATE NOW CLOSED FOR BUSINESS

******UPDATE NOW CLOSED FOR BUSINESS******Petite Kitchen is a TINY French Bistro located in NORTH LAS VEGAS Nevada. This place is tiny and only has two small tables and a tiny window counter for indoor dining. I noticed that most customers do take out.

They offer fresh in-house baked goods and most of the food is made fresh to order. A few of the offerings are……. croissant specialties, real French Fries, quiche Lorraine, Croque Monieur, baguette sandwiches, salads, burgers, burrito style crepes, pastries, sweet crepes, and milkshakes.

Here are REAL French Fries with truffle oil and parmesan cheese.

WOW! They were HOT and seemed freshly made. They are seasoned nicely.

Below is the tuna baguette.

The baked in-house fresh baguette bread has airiness and crunch like no other. The tuna salad is tasty. It also was made with some fresh crunchy vegetables. I like that the size of the roll was just right and not too big.

On another visit my husband tried the Ham & Gruyere Baguette with added Brie Cheese.

He said that the ham and the mustard in the sandwich was unusually very good!

On another visit my husband went with the Croque Madame (béchamel, ham, egg, cheese).

Everything was delicious and everything was perfect.

I tried the rice salad with tuna (because I planned to try a dessert crepe next).

it’s enough and not too heavy….you get this when you plan for dessert!

UMMMMmmmm! The pear, chocolate, and cream crepe is very good!

We got to try some beignets (a chocolate filled one and a raspberry filled one…

GOSH they are delicious! You can sure taste the quality!

Took home a croissant to try for the next day.

It was crisp and airy with lots of layers. Need to go back to try more!

Petite Kitchen is a Gem of North Las Vegas and is Worth a Fork!
