WALMART sees the tide changing by the year 2050

Pollo Campero, a Latin American fried-chicken favorite that had been seen in the U.S. only in takeout boxes aboard arriving flights, has teamed up with Wal-Mart to expand its reach to the nation's growing Hispanic population.

A restaurant bearing the Guatemalan chain's mascot chicken in a cowboy hat now sells its famed product inside a Wal-Mart Supercenter in Rowlett, Texas. Officials with the chain's fledging U.S. arm, Campero USA Corp., hopes to expand its reach into more than 20 Wal-Mart locations across the country by the end of 2009.

>>> only in takeout boxes.

That's not true.

Pollo Campero has locations in the area. I've eaten at the Herndon and Bailey's Crossroads ones (stay away from the Bailey's one). There is also one downtown.

It's good stuff.

Pollo Campero has been at x-roads for a long time now, and meeper is right, if you go there, learn jujitsu first.

I didn't feel unsafe there, the tables and floors were just really dirty, and there was just trash laying everywhere like they didn't clean the restaurant all day. The one in Herndon was well-tended though like any normal fast food place.

Sounds like a typical Wal-Mart. They should work well together.

FWIW, Pollo Campero is basically just fried chicken, chicken sandwiches, and salads, with a bunch of side dishes consisting of rice and beans, french fries and cole slaw. It's not some sweeping innovative concept from a foreign land, Americans have been eating this stuff for decades. It's sorta like Popeyes. I think the only new concept a lot of Americans will find is that they have fried yuca on the menu; but if you're from around here, that's nothing new.

I think it's interesting (and good) that they are expanding, but it should not be portrayed as some revolutionary concept in the fast food industry.

When I lived out West I was eating at places called Pollo-this and Pollo-that decades ago. Frankly, it is infinitely better than the shit you get at McDonald's, and probably better for you too.

I ate at the Pollo Campero in Herndon once and it was one of the dirtiest places I have ever seen and it tasted like shit. Pollo Loco kicks ass in comparasion (haven't seen any in this area though).

Oh yeah Wally World employs more Chinese than Americans.

NAZI=

National Socialist German Workers’ Party

Nazis were quite pro immigrant to their German brethren such as the Sudetenland Czechs, and the Austrians, they even held the Danes in high regard and gave them their own SS divisions. Of course all of the aforementioned were classified Aryan.

Hey....it isnt exactly "immigration" when you invade or otherwise incorporate their homeland into the influence of the Deuthchland. The only immigraion the Nazis were in favor of was of Jews into ghettos and concentration camps.

And just because the Nazis incorporated the word Socialist into their party title doesnt make them Socialist as we use the term in the 21st century.

Did you guys know that in the most hick parts of the country, wal-marts have mcdonalds. In deserted areas, they have dunkin' doughnuts. In suburb areas, or places where the average iq is above 30, they have a subway or another deli type area. This is true.
