ZenFoodster

Best rotisserie chicken lunch in NYC: 1/4 (white or dark meat) chicken w/ avocado tomato salad , a soda , & side (rice & beans, tostones , or fries ). Ask 4 green sauce !

Larry

Parihuela was astounding and more then ample. Palta Relleno was exquisito. Fried yuca is crispy , hot and the house sauce is smooth, delicious and bien picante . Recommended. Just not cheap .

Matthew Caldecutt

Start with a sangria , the matador combo is enough food for two for two or three meals, and the desserts are great, especially Tres Leches cake

Vanessa de Leon

Acoustics are terrible. It's really loud but service is solid and food is tasty. Portions are large so be sure to share and eat family style so you can try more than one dish.

Kimmie Ohh

Get the madator combo. It’s more than enough for two people. You will have leftovers! Get their sangria too!

The take out part of the restaurant across the street is great, they tell you am hour for your order to be delivered but they always arrive within 30 minutes. They're great.

Ms Wineglass

Shrimp and Rice soup was extremely hearty and filling. The Matador combo is a local favorite and a must. Definitely enough for 2 people.

John Perez

Matador Combo was good and large portion for about 3 people. The garlic and green sauce were delicious. Tostones were overcooked for our liking.

Jen Shin

matador combo for two! and the sangria here is amazing. and strong.

Ms Wineglass

Sangria and mojito were good, but what I really enjoyed was the their version of an amaretto sour with passion fruit juice . It was delicious!

Noticia

If you love Peruvian food you can’t miss Long Island’s Peruvian Cuisine Expo to be held at the parking lot#4, north of the Freeport train station on September 30th from 11am-6pm!

Great chicken , saffron rice , beans, chicken empanadas , maduros and awesome green hot sauce !

Anthony Palermo

Rotisserie Chicken and Chaufa rice are very good. Some of the best green sauce around.

Mariliz Policarpio

The best red sangria in the city !

Emily Scheer

Matador combo is great value and a ton of food! Everything here is delicious.

Sal Della Monica

In the mood for a great sangria ? Go here. Great food, good atmosphere (although a little loud ), but most definatley, the best sangria .

M Bytz

Revamp of the original Pio Pio -- humongous space that still manages to be cozy . Matador combo all the way!

Leilani A

Always give good quantity of food. Waitstaff is always friendly . The place gets really noisy , they need some sound absorption.

Samanta Aquino

The entrée with Shrimp and Avocado was amazing. Palca something it was called.

Javi S

The best chicken in NYC. Sangria is great!! My favorite chicken place in the big apple .

Braden Josephson

The filet minion was delicious. A "secret" item on the menu!

D.L. Wei

Matador combo only $1 cheaper than ordering them separately, so no need for the combo!!!

YBY

One of the best chicken rotisserie in NYC. Try the Matador.

Antonio del Rio

The chicken recipe and sangria have changed for the worse. Ditch the chicken and get everything else, especially the Jalea .

Emmanuelle Flax

It is loud and crowded but service is good and food is delicious!

Julio Moreira

Make sure to get the fries and hotdog mix. It's called "salchi-papa" tastes great with the chicken ! Also drink the sangria they make it exceptionally well !

Van Sedita

Known for their chicken and seafood , but the filet mignon is great!

Darrel Dawkins

Sangria is the best.

Eric T

Food is great. A bit overpriced. Service is OK. But beware because if you don't leave the suggested tip the waiters will let you know and they'll force you to leave the 18%.

Farrah Benoit

Go for the cerviche , pisco sour and chicken :)

Negin J

The tres leches dessert is amazing

Wilton

Be sure to make a reservation if you can, the place gets really packed.

marilyn sasha

peruvian spot. good chicken . even the salad is good. happy there's one in the BX too.

Ramsen

FYI, ignore the tips about only AMEX and cash cause they take all cards now.

Jason L.

Uh. The chicken duh! Also the ceviche and get the green sauce it is liquid crack!

Tony Mohr

Very good food and service

Dennis Moy

Come here if you don't want to hear the bday song every 5 mins from the dine in location across the street.

Manny Lacayo

Try the Papas a la Huancaina - Really delicious!

Ben Fortney

The chicken 's the reason to be here. Live music is loud but lively . Sangria 's not worth the price.

Marie Guia-Coronel

Try the arroz con mariscos so good!

Marc Westphal

Yes for months was grade B now it's grade Pending ? I was here on Thursday the service was hirrible, the food was NOT FRESH believe me I was customer of Pio Pio once or twice a week. Sorry but NO MORE

Jenna Brown

The most moist chicken I've had in a while.

Frank Jerome

Sangria is excellente. So is the Jalea .

Yvette Macintyre

And the Celebration continues 🎈🎈🎂🎂

Cathy Evans

Awesome chicken , avocado salad , and salchi papa, but beware the size of the Sangria pitcher has gotten smaller!

Joyce Chong

Get a pitcher of sangria...or two

Fanny G

The chicken only!

Marco Galvis

If you're staying in, the rice portion is insanely small. 1 per person. the to-go rice order is extremely generous.

corinne montero

Matador is great.. But please watch the tostones are hard as hell.... :/ you can lose a tooth

Porfirio Pina

The sangria and chicken are one of the best that I have had.

Freshly cooked empanadas, they are not just sitting out all day. Just be prepared to wait a bit for them to cook. Tons of flavors, mostly savory, corn and flower. I like the Hawaiian! - Ariel Herman
