POLLO CAMPERO BRINGS BACK FAN-FAVORITE QUESO FOR A LIMITED TIME, EXPANDING LINEUP WITH NEW MENU ITEMS

The Everything Queso menu gives guests more craveable ways to enjoy the brand's signature chicken

DALLAS, Aug. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Pollo Campero, the Guatemalan-born fast-casual restaurant known for its delicious fried and roasted chicken, is turning up the flavor this fall with the return of its fan-favorite queso, available for a limited time only, while supplies last.

The limited-time offering is the star of the new Everything Queso menu that builds on the craveable combination of queso and bacon and gives guests multiple ways to experience the flavor and complement the brand's delicious, tender and juicy chicken:

• Queso Bacon Chicken Sandwich: Campero Chicken Sandwich topped with rich, velvety queso and crispy bacon bits on a soft, buttered brioche bun
• Queso Bacon Yuca Fries or French Fries: Crispy, golden yuca fries or french fries topped with queso and bacon bits
• Side of Queso: Designed for dipping or topping any Campero guest favorites.

"Our guests have been asking for the return of our Queso Bacon Chicken Sandwich since the moment it left the menu, so we knew we had to bring it back, and this time in a way that can be enjoyed across our menu," said Karla Patino, vice president of marketing and sales at Pollo Campero. "Our Everything Queso menu is all about layering flavor and creamy texture onto the Campero Chicken Sandwich, french fries and yuca fries, to give guests even more ways to enjoy the menu items they already love."

Queso is available now at participating Pollo Campero locations nationwide, both in-restaurant and via the brand's app and delivery partners.
