Pollo Campero, an international Latin chicken quick-service restaurant chain, has entered into partnership with franchisee Levy Campero to deliver a new restaurant concept in Downtown Disney Marketplace at Walt Disney World Resort. The restaurant will feature Pollo Campero’s Latin chicken, and also a new restaurant concept featuring health food.
The restaurant said that Walt Disney World guests will be able to have combinations of Campero Latin chicken, side dishes such as yuca fries and sweet plantains, and Latin drinks including horchata and tamarindo. The menu also will include meals such as chef-prepared salads, sandwiches and wraps using recipes derived from fresh ingredients.
The new fresh concept menu will feature fresh salads, sandwiches, fruits, and healthy snacks, as well as vegetarian, gluten-free, sugar-free, low-sodium or organic offerings.
Juan Jose Gutierrez, chief executive officer of Pollo Campero, said: “For decades, Walt Disney World has introduced its guests to rich cultural experiences. We will build on the park’s rich cultural heritage, helping visitors discover the unique tastes and togetherness of family-style Latin dining.”
Adam Cummis, president of Levy Campero, said: “This is an exciting opportunity for Pollo Campero to introduce its famous chicken, along with our newest fresh restaurant concept of salads and wraps, to visitors from all over the world. We are thrilled to collaborate with one of the strongest brands in the world to showcase our Latin delicacies and look forward to a long working relationship.”
Keith Bradford, vice president of Downtown Disney, said: “We’re pleased to offer this new Latin-style restaurant to our guests at Downtown Disney. Its diversity of offerings and well-balanced options are the perfect addition to our current blend of dining experiences.”
The restaurant claims that its fried chicken is hand-breaded in seasoned flour and slowly pressure-cooked without trans-fats. Grilled chicken features the taste of lime and orange juices, red bell peppers, and a blend of Latin herbs and spices.
