Pio Pio 1

(4.3/5 rating) I’ve been going here for a few years and if you’re looking for a quick Peruvian vibe this is it. Unlike the other Pios this one is small with limited menu choices. It’s ideal for a lunch special which comes with chicken. Rice beans and salad. The sangria always hits. However this last time I went I was disappointed with the service & also seems that their chef or something has changed with their cooking. The rice beans and chicken tasted different. The salad was alright. Their staff and service can improve & also seasoning tasted better before.

I had no idea about this amazing spot, friend forced me to go, and boy was it worth it. 45 min drive from Long Island. It was worth every minute. The chicken was fresh and succulent, the Madurai where amazing, avacodo slices where so fresh & the tostones where on point. This place was insane. Well worth any trip. I will be coming back again, and again!

Always check your bill! I gave the waiter cash in his hand as his tip . And in the pad he gave me I put 0 tip obviously cause I gave him cash as well as text message receipt . Never got the receipt in text and when I saw my credit card the waiter put his tips in . When I confronted him. He tried to gaslight me like if I didn’t read what I clicked on . Couldn’t even give me a refund receipt . Just said it would be back in your account in five days . Not even a sorry just give her money back . Just a PSA since they didn’t even look shocked when I told them .

Imma start with the cons. This is the smaller version of the other location that is huge.This is a very small place. 4 tables only. You feel crammed. No bar. No BATHROOMS. CASH ONLY!! That being said. The staff is very attentive, friendly and service is fast. There famous green sauce is worth the cons. You can eat this with anything. We got the "el matador combo". Best option for two or three people. It comes with whole chicken, yellow rice red beans, your choice of fried green plantains or sweet. Sausage and fries and an avocado salad with sauce. All that for 39 bucks!! The pitcher of sangria is perfect choice if your undecided about what to drink. Not too sweet and you barley taste the alcohol. Delivery and pick ups are available. Good for a date, small groups. Too small for families. But the food is great.

Place is closed permanently due to a fire... Google it the strip of stores went on fire like months ago. All you going to see by the restaurant is trash garbage build up. Just walked past there tonite n this is what I saw.

Horrible service, waiter was on his phone all the time. We had to call him to order. Never came back to check on us. Cashier and all the workers were in their own world. The atmosphere was not grateful at all. The food was alright . I guess they had changed the recipe. The chicken didn’t taste as good as before. Worst $100 that i spent ( matador combo $74 + 4 Inca kola) 1/10 overall. If u have a chance go somewhere else😏

I don't know what happened to the famous unique flavor of the chicken. It did not taste anything like the "famous" taste of their chicken. It was dry and what happened with the sauce?

Literally a hole in the wall, a small, comfy and modest resturant. Honestly those are often hard to find. The food is amazing and so are the prices. Love their saffron rice and green sauce!!! There is a couple minute wait time.
