Disney has wasted no time in demolishing the former Pollo Campero building at Downtown Disney Marketplace.

Pollo Campero closed just last week, and already the building is nearly gone. Just one wall and the tower remain. The area is being cleared to make way for new construction as part of the Disney Springs expansion.

Now, if only they moved this quickly on projects that weren't direct retail. :/

wow they really aren't messing around on this project... really excited to see the finished Disney Springs project...I think it may surprise a lot of people, even on here (even if it's "just a mall") :)

Their chicken was really good. I always ate their the first night of my trip.

I never had a chance to eat there but that does look good.

Hope you saw this, not Springs but at least somewhere! http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/gardens-kiosk-at-disneys-animal-kingdom-now-offering-baby-cakes-nyc-gluten-free-doughnuts.882070/

So did it close? I'm pretty bummed. Pollo Campero was probably my favorite place to eat on property. A couple weeks ago I visited one of their new locations outside Atlanta, and while the yucca fries and beans were good, the chicken wasn't as good as the Disney location's.

It may, but that is a long summer away.

I thought they would be back after Captain Cook's phase of the GCH refurb? Where's Tikiman to settle this?

JimboJones123Mar 08, 2014

And Disneyland ones that you can enjoy in the Tiki Room are even better. Far better than a Tiki Room where they are forbidden. And that has no Tiki Fountain.

JimboJones123Mar 08, 2014

The won't be at the Poly pretty soon anyways.

Monorail_OrangeMar 08, 2014

We have Menchie's locally where I live. Tried it one time, and it was so bad, we haven't been back (and will not go back). But I would gladly take a trip to Poly or stand in line at Aloha Ilse for a Dole Whip. Menchie's...yeah, well, to each their own.
