I ordered the chupe de camarones and it was outstanding. I am Peruvian so I was really pleased with the authenticity of the meal. My husband ordered the lomo saltado and the beef was tender and juicy.

Joaquin Prime

Great service & delicious, authentic food. App: Palta Rellena. Main: Arroz Chaufa, Camarones Cuzco or Lomo Saltado . Drink: Red Sangria , trust me! This location is a bit more laid back than downtown's.

Sarah Kim

Actually great Peruvian food . Authentic . Great for big groups as the dishes are generously proportioned. Good for sharing family-style

My favorite restaurant in NYC until now! The ceviche and the coupe are incredible. Everyone who loves Peruvian food as to go there.

When I am in New York, I visit this place multiple times - every time. The bartender made me an amazing Mango Margarita (and, of course, the Sangria is a must have!).

Doug Beavers

Order "El Matador" - incredible quantity of delicious Peruvian cuisine . My g/f is Peruvian so she knows what's up. Gotta do it. And slather your chicken in the tostones sauce. Vaya!

Jessica C.

Food and Service was Awesome ...Large amounts of food and the chicken is a must as well as the ceviche to top it off. Sangria was tasty. Overall a wonderful place ESP for a date two thumbs up !!

Sameepa Shetty

Huge portions . Must order chicken & share. The plantains are a must too. Great for group parties & celebrations. Big space . Get the private area down at the very back.

Peter Ikladious

The chicken ! Matador combo is a winner. Pisco sour great too. Winner winner all round. Great with kids too and groups

Candy Soto

Sangria is always on point best I've ever had. The matador combo is the best. Three to four can eat from there.

Portions are huge. If your party is 3 or more, get a number of entrees equal to about 2/3 of your party size and do family style , unless you want to carry doggie bags home.

Ronda Yvette

Great food, excellent service! I don't know what's in that green sauce but I could drink it through a straw! Oh & the sangria is good too!

Jonathan Oatis

The picante de camerones is fantastic. Spicy and good. Love the quinoa cake stuffed with spinach and goat cheese that comes with it.

julie semple

Love Pio Pio Been to everyone and the food is consistently the same ..........Ahhh-mazing !!! My fave space is UWS large open windows

Ryan

Matador combo is an INSANE value. Get copious amounts of the green sauce

Kathiria Estevez

I had an awesome experience at Pio Pio. The green sauce is so addicting and definitely makes the chicken . The yuca fries and avocado salad is a must!

L. T.

Lovely, beautiful, flavorful food. The fish dishes are delicious but I could've had the yucca ALL DAY.

Ellie Manduriao

Gotta get the chicken ! Calamari frito is so good, and the arroz con mariscos is superb! Love their sweet plantain as well ...

chris

Whole chicken is delicious. Bathe it in green sauce and order a pitcher of sangria , and you'll be happy.

EM!

Portions are amazing. But for this specific location, I would suggest coming with a group since there aren't that many corners for a dinner two privacy.

Ben Siekmeier

Rotisserie chicken , green salsa , beans and rice , platanos and sangria ! Order take out !

Challon Perry

Matador combo is the way to go for a family meal. Sangria is pretty good too.

Karen

Cannot go wrong with any of the food here. The salchipapas seems so simple, but it's a favorite!

Jorge A. Guzman

The matador combo is a must! Try the salchipapas with green sauce .

G Daniell

Never really had real Peruvian food but it taste like there's a lack of seasoning in their chow fun rice ,their rotisserie chicken seems to be a favorite

Chelsea Balkan

#FabuLIST whole chicken , French fries , and avocado salad . The green sauce is amazing but a little spicy .

Daniel Powell

Solid chicken - good sides. Don't miss out on the plantains .

Eugene Abreu

They don't call this place pio pio for nothing, their chicken is slammin! if you're drinking - try the Inca Martini , it's tasty and 3 of those would have you over-tipping your bartender ! cool lil spot Read more

Denise Rivera

Ceviche , sangria , fried rice and chicken are all great.

Alexei Z

Chicken+rice+beans+avocado+green sauce = heaven.

Go during 12 pm to 4 pm for their $10 chicken lunch special . Ask for the lunch menu .

Aristotle Poulakos

Chicken is great, sauce is addictive! Extremely busy on weekends, go during the week.

Russell Hirschorn

Dont even pick up a menu, ceviche and chicken with a river of green sauce

Elaine L

Salchipapas-a very filling side of hot dog like sausages and french fries

chris

Green sauce . All over everything. And if you run out, ask for more.

Shawn Cheng

If you've got 4 friends and 2 hours, get the matador meal! A little bit of everything and delicious.

Chicken ! Lunch special not on the menu .

Katie J

The fried rice is good

Walter Manrique

Worst experience at this place. Rice was over cooked. We were not asked if we needed more drinks. We order the chicken rotisserie which came with no fries or salad . Apparently they aren't included.

Piper Flusser

The green sauce makes the chicken . Really great value for an amazing meal. Avocado salad is delicious too

Elizabeth Burstein

Delicious iomo saltado

Themodelj

When you order the shrimp cucuzoo if your a man w/ an appetite order a side of rice it's a small portion.
