Twitter user @MrTinDC put a scare into some folks yesterday when he tweeted that Pollo Campero, the Central American chicken chain on the Civic Plaza, was closed. Ward One council candidate Bryan Weaver and Adams Morgan ANC commish Mindy Moretti both were worried, but soon we learned that they were just closing for a renovation.
Phew. I like that place, and we’ve already lost a few Mexican places lately, like Lime Fresh and Alero (which was admittedly replaced by another Mexican place, El Tio.)
Pollo Campero in Columbia Heights has closed. Moving truck is taking away interior fittings. Cc @PoPville @newcolumbiahts

Fun fact about Pollo Campero — there’s one right outside the airport in San Salvador so that people can buy huge bags to carry back with them.
