DALLAS, Sept. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Pollo Campero, the Guatemalan-born restaurant internationally beloved for its famous chicken, has been recognized in Flavor & The Menu's "Best of Flavor 2025" awards for its roasted chicken.

The "Best of Flavor 2025" award celebrates menu innovation and taste excellence across the foodservice industry. Nominees are evaluated by culinary experts and industry professionals who assess flavor profiles, preparation techniques and overall taste.

"This recognition from Flavor & The Menu reflects our commitment to bringing Guatemalan-inspired flavors and fresh, high-quality ingredients to communities across the U.S.," said Pollo Campero Director of National Marketing Jessica Mclain. "Our roasted chicken is a delicious representation of the family recipes and traditional cooking techniques that have been part of our menu since 1971."

Pollo Campero's award-winning roasted chicken is prepared using a proprietary Peruvian citrus seasoning and unique cooking process that crisps the skin while locking in juices down to the bone, producing a rich, flavorful experience with layers of zesty citrus, smoky char and deep, savory notes.

The brand – considered a national treasure of Guatemala – is rapidly expanding across the U.S. and has plans to have 150 restaurants throughout the country by the end of 2025.
