I can't say enough great things about this place. The ambience is perfect for dinner or lunch. The food was fantastic! I got the churrasco (medium well) with shrimps Al ajillo, a side of tostones and it comes with rice and beans. The meat was perfectly cooked! The flavor was amazing. Everything came out hot! They even surprised my girl with a flan cake for her bday and she loved it! The prices were just right. Definitely will come again!

We visited Pio Pio and were delighted. We ordered the rotisserie chicken and the chicken soup, both with a delicious homemade flavor. The food was fresh, plentiful, and full of taste. On top of that, the customer service was excellent—very attentive and friendly. Definitely recommended! Our waitress was Matteo

The restaurant is simply amazing. The food is incredible. My family has an unforgettable dinner after a very long day in Universal. I highly recommend the place especially to those who love meat.

Came here for lunch with a group of 4. Quick service. Our server Kenyer was very polite and friendly. All the food and drinks were great. Order the tostones w/ avocado and the Peruvian ceviche. Would recommend to a friend.

I'm very unfamiliar with Colombian food so this was a new experience. It's a mixed restaurant of Peruvian which I love and Colombian which I am unfamiliar. I enjoyed the food. I ended up ordering lomo saltado which is Peruvian in the end. None of the strictly Colombian dishes made me want to order them. The lomo saltado did taste different than I'm used to. I assume it was the Colombian influence. Overall I enjoyed the restaurant and would eat there again. It's not a favorite but it was pleasant.

Absolutely enjoyed our food! Always consistent and delicious. However, our service was 10/10!! My husband and I favorite, Daniel took great care of us as per usual. So attentive, great table side manner and just makes us feel like family. I always ask for him because I know my experience will be next level. Thank you Daniel and Pio Pio for a wonderful lunch.

Pío Pío Restaurant is hands down the best place on Earth (and I don't say that lightly). We've been coming here for the past six years, and somehow they still haven't messed up a single meal -- which honestly feels illegal. The Lomo Saltado is so soft and delicious it might emotionally heal you. I'm pretty sure it could fix my life if I ordered it often enough. The empanadas are dangerously crunchy -- like, "I'll order one but accidentally eat six" kind of crunchy. And let's talk about the ajo sauce... this stuff should be bottled and protected by the government. I would put it on literally everything. Shoes? Probably. If you don't come here, I'm not saying your life will be incomplete... but it definitely will. I recommend this place 100% and then another 100% just to be safe.

This was my first time visiting this restaurant. As a Colombian, I was excited to try the dishes and see how authentic the flavors were. I was immediately impressed by how they present their menu, it's displayed on a tablet with photos of each item, which makes choosing much easier. I ordered from their specials menu and chose the sautéed steak with a side of rice and beans. It was delicious. I also tried a drink called the Guaro Mule, which was new for me and definitely worth trying. The portions are generous one plate can easily feed two people. It is a bit on the pricier side, but the quality and portion size make it worth it. Overall, I had a great experience and would recommend this restaurant.

Now that magical dining has ended, I was looking for a more reasonable priced restaurant for the weekend. I found that Marriott was offering 8 points per dollar promotion this month, and found out that this restaurant was participating in their program. So I made i reservation on a Saturday evening. When I arrived, there was no wait and I was seated in a table next to the bar. I took the suggested strawberry mojito (16 dollars) for the drink. I also ordered the half rotisserie chicken with sweet plantains (21 dollars) for my dinner. It did that a little time to get my drink. But it looked nice and pretty when it arrived. I was able to taste the rum, and the drink was sweet from the strawberries, but it could have been stronger for 16 dollars. However, even before I could take a picture of my drink, my chicken also arrived. The dark meat portion of the chicken was nice and moist. I did have to take out some bones, but it was worth the effort. I enjoyed the roasted flavor from the rotisserie oven, and the skin was enjoyable too. The larger part had white meat chicken, which was a little dry, but still enjoyable. I enjoyed it with the garlic and spicy sauce that were given as sides. The fried plantains were sweet, and the rice was also good. The meal was very filling that I was stuffed the rest of the night after eating everything. That was a great value. My server was helpful and fast! I was in and out within an hour. The atmosphere looked casual and social. While I didn't see many patrons, the ones who were there were pretty social, so I didn't feel lonely eating alone. The music seemed to sound mariachi and salsa mixed in, which was nice for a Latin restaurant. Parking wasn't difficult at all directly at their restaurant. I am quite happy to visit Pio Pio after the magical dining promotion has ended. For the price paid for the chicken, it was a great deal. I wish they told me that the fruit favoring was a 2 dollars surcharge for the mojito, and it was much stronger, but it was still decent. I will definitely come back for their food, and next time try one of their fruit juices as well. Overall: A-

I don't think I've ever been to a Peruvian restaurant but this was the best first impression of one! All the food was delicious, and my friend and I split the sampler platter. It was enough food to make a meal while also having leftovers that night. The platter comes with two different sausages, a hotdog like one and a chorizo one, fried mashed plantain, steak, potatoes, fried yuca, cassava, and chicharron. SUPER yummy, and definitely recommend if you want to try a bit of everything. They also gave us a garlic sauce and a spicy green sauce and both paired well with the food. I also tasted some of my friend's chicken and it was seasoned well! The service was fast, and we got our food without having to wait super long. And it was cool because the menus were on iPads and I've never seen that before! Would definitely come again next time I am in Orlando.

Pio Pio is absolutely to die for. I felt like I was visiting 2 countries at the same time, Colombia & Peru! This place packs flavor on flavor. Beginning with their Colombian Yellow Potatoes, I personally have never had better Yellow Potatoes. Pio Pio has got everyone beat. They also paid respect to Peru with their Pisco Sour but also had a creative take on the Moscow Mule but with a Colombian twist with ingredients of Elderflower and Aguardiente. The girlfriend was satisfied. Now to the appetizers. We ordered Chorizo that sat on top of fresh guacamole surrounded by plantain chips but at its base, green plantains. It was off the charts! Onto the main entrees, it was delicious, if only we could choose every from their menu which by the way in tablet form. The staff gives you a tablet where their menu is brightly lit at your face, swipe and tap, and you are about to induldge in Peruvian-Colombian ambiance heaven. The dessert menu was also amazing, we couldnt just order just one. The girlfriend had Creme Brulee & I had Tres Leches. It was literally to die for. I most definitely will come back here again.

Finding this may be a little hard, but it is worth the trip. The chicken soup was fantastic as wheel as the rotisserie chicken. Had two great drinks and service was very nice.

Fabulous!! This is my first time at Pio Pio and I was truly impressed. I ordered the skit steak medium. It was tender and juicy, flavorful cooked to perfection. Served on an Criss crossed wooden platter, and accompanied by fried plantains and tostones. With rice and creamy beans, a delicious meal. Generous portion. The ambiance is hip, Latin and fun. Definitely a nice spot to bring a date. I'll be back!!

This restaurant has been on my list of place to visit for a while and it did not disappoint! Their parking lot is very small so it was a bit of a struggle, but the service was great and notably a lot of the staff members have been a part of pio pio for a long time, which is always a plus! Our waitress kindly answered all our questions and was knowledgeable about the menu. Their cassava is very tasty and I would definitely go back for more! Their green sauce is also sooo delicious I added it to everything I ate. Will definitely be coming back!

Verrry friendly and welcoming. Large portions. Delicious flavors and humus. We will be back. This was our first time and the staff at The Hampton Inn , next door recommended it. We are so glad. Thank you Pio Pio Team!

Still as good as I remember. Great food, friendly service, great atmosphere. Try it if you haven't. Their tropical fruit juices are good. I tried soursop for the first time (you can get with water or with milk...recommend milk) and it's a unique flavor I'd never had before.

Excellent quality, tasty food, at decent prices with great service. I've been here twice now and am definitely looking forward to future visits. They have a great happy hour, and the restaurant has a relaxing, modern atmosphere. Definitely try one of their empanadas as an appetizer, as they are well worth it. I've also had their skirt steak and the Chaufa Mixed Rice. They also have many refreshing, appetizing cocktails.

We recently visited Pio Pio near International Drive for a lunch disappoint! We've heard great things about this Colombian-Peruvian fusion spot. The service from Luis Gabriel was top-notch--friendly and attentive. Ambiance was very family friendly. The food was flavorful and delicious. I couldn't decide between the ceviche or bandeja paisa, Their garlic house sauce is amazing, and we finished our meal with some of the best flan. Pio Pio is definitely going on our list of must-visit Latin spots in Central Florida. Great food, great prices.

If you're going to eat around this area. This is definitely a must stop by. We have a Pio Pio on NYC, and I use to praise how amazing it was. Sadly they lost their touch, but NOT here! The service, the food, the atmosphere. It hits all the spots in every which way you can think of. We started with the Tostones with Guac and topped off with Chicharon. Let me tell you. This was a game changer. It's like you expect to have this every time now and all the time. Guac was smooth, the tostones was fried perfectly. Not one dry banana topped off with chicharon. COME ON NOW! What else do you need!? Our main was the Bandeja paisa with the skirt steak added. Trust me you want the skirt steak! Perfectly medium rare topped with everything else you know is going to be amazing. This was a feast for a king! Our waiter was even nice enough to let us order a quarter of the rotisserie chicken and that green sauce! and the white!? which i never had, WHICH was amazing! If you going to bring a date. This is the spot! If it's just a bunch of your Broski's or ladies' night THIS IS THE SPOT. It's been a while since I praised on a restaurant this good. Management, chef, waiters, bartenders, they work well, and they show it. This place is a definitely come back.

This is now one of my husband's favorite restaurants. The calamari in a marinara sauce with fried plantains was an appetizer that I ordered for my meal. It was so delicious and I had plenty leftover to take home. My husband also took home more than half of his food. The steak that came with his meal was extremely thin, like under half an inch. The egg on top of the steak was more cooked than we would like it. The beans were his favorite. We were eating it like a soup before we could ask the waiter what it was. He said we were supposed to mix it with the rice. It was definitely good on its own. The deep fried pork skin and the sausage he really liked. The corn cake was pretty bland. The green and white sauces made everything better. They even gave us a few containers to go with our leftovers. This restaurant is conveniently located near Universal. We will be back.

This place is absolutely amazing when it comes to food! I had no complaints , the menu was on an iPad which I thought was pretty cool. My mango smoothie with milk was great, I can always go for another one. Empanadas here are a hit!! The restaurant is nicely decorated inside and kept very clean. Service was decent and the server did come and check on us. We will definitely come back!

Delicious food, speedy service, and classy atmosphere. They do charge an obligatory service fee regardless of party size which I'm not particularly a fan of but this wasn't enough to mark down for me. You get a lot for what you order, more than most other restaurants of the same caliber. I also like the tablets as the menu, neat touch! Would highly recommend if in the area.

Excited about this fusion, Peruvian/ Colombia and wow it didn't disappoint. We started with the Guacamole mixed w/ fried pork inside served with tostones and wow! So tasty I had a glass of the house rose which was ok a little sweeter than I like. My main was the Peruvian ceviche it was a very large size which was great just needed a little more juice But it was very tasty. My partner had the Chaufa mixed rice & he loved it and also had left overs. The portion sizes are amazing and the atmosphere was fun and inviting. Only downfall is the parking is limited in the main parking area, but they allow you to use the hotel behind the restaurant parking lot.. don't park at 7'11 you will get towed ..

They have a water problem/issue so we ended up ordering takeout. Their Chicken still tastes as how we've been enjoying them in New York. Plenty of portions too for those plantains. They were accommodating to accept a takeout order even though they were officially close due to their water issue. Nice friendly staff compared to Apopka branch. We also tried some chicken and beef empanadas- I'll settle for the beef! They're more delish than the chicken.

Had early dinner or late lunch with my boyfriend for new years. We were shopping in the area and haven't been to pio pio for a long time. There was plenty of seating when we walked in around 330. It was happy hour too. 330-6 I believe. I went for a sangria and my boyfriend did the caipirinha. I ordered the breaded chicken for my meal. My boyfriend ordered the grilled steak. I enjoyed my dish. It came with rice and beans plus tostones. Our food also came with the white and green sauce. I liked the white sauce better. My boyfriend kind of enjoyed his dish. Skirt steak was a little chewy. Our server was awesome. He was bartending at the bar and waiting on some surrounding tables. Friendly and attentive. Had a good meal overall.

After a fun family outing we all decided to have Peruvian food for dinner. Pio Pio was close and headed to the restaurant. The parking lot was full when we arrived, but was able to find street parking. Our party of 15 people (a mix of adults and kids) was taken care of by the wonderful staff. It was a busy evening at the restaurant. The wait time for a time for a table was decent. Once seated our drink orders were taken. I browsed through their bountiful menu. The lomo saltado caught my eye and became my dinner choice. This was a wonderful dish. Tender steak, crispy fries, fresh bell peppers and onions topped with two sunny side up eggs and a side of white rice. A very delicious meal! I'm glad our family enjoyed our dinner at Pio Pio! I would definitely recommend!

We enjoyed our lunch here and had some left over to take home. Most meals are $20-$30 and they don't have a set lunch menu, and the atmosphere is more upscale, but you don't have to dress up by any means. The server was nice and the food was great. We will be back, probably for dinner.

Pio Pio delivers on what you'd expect from a solid Latin restaurant they had such authentic flavors, well-prepared food, and generous portions. I finally got around to trying this spot, and while it was a great experience overall. I ordered the Pork Wings as an appetizer, which were a first for me. They were incredible crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. . Of course, I had to go with the classic Rotisserie Chicken, which was juicy, well-seasoned, and roasted just right. You can tell they take their time to get that perfect balance of crispy skin and moist, flavorful meat. The sides were just as good the rice cooked to perfection and tostones that were crispy(had to add salt myself), and paired perfectly with their sauces. The authenticity of the food is what really stands out here. You can tell it's made with care, using fresh ingredients and traditional techniques. It's not just another chain trying to imitate Latin flavors this is the real deal. That said, the food alone makes Pio Pio worth coming back to. If you're looking for authentic Latin flavors with high-quality ingredients, this place is a solid choice. I'll definitely be returning!

Wait forever ~ an hour for the food while told was 15 mins to be ready. Wish it was an honest answer, that I can do something else then come back instead of waiting for the time to be wasted.

Came based off a recommendation from a family member. From the outside, it doesn't look appealing - windows are tinted black and you can't see in. However inside, you can see lots of chicken being roasted and a fun ambiance. The staff were friendly and passed out two sauces - a garlic sauce and a spicy sauce which are perfect to pair with anything. I got the skirt steak and it was cooked to my liking and flavorful. With the recommendation of the staff, we got the cassava as the side. We also got the lomo saltado and it was pretty flavorful. Although all items were delicious, the star was the chicken. It was very juicy and flavorful. The only thing the chicken could improve on would be the chicken skin. The skin was a little soggy and not crispy. Overall a great spot for food.

This restaurant fits the "don't judge a book by its cover" trope. It doesn't look very appealing from the outside and the interior reminds me of most sit-down fast food restaurants. However, the overall quality and taste in food is definitely amazing. My table ordered chicken empanadas. They looked and tasted so delicious, I forgot to take a picture until there was only one left. I also ordered the Chaufa Mixta. It's a rice dish with sweet plantains, beef, chicken, and shrimp. It was a little bit lemony for my taste, but still incredibly flavorful and well seasoned! Next time I go, I'll be ordering the shrimp chaufa because it was my favorite protein of the three. The service was very nice and always made sure our tables were clean and waters were refilled. Parking was also very easy given that the place has its own lot.

What an amazing find. Totally recommend anyone that's even close to this restaurant to stop in. We met the owners/manager who was so sweet and kind to my husband. We were not familiar with Columbian food at all and she offered perfect recommendations. Everything is phenomenal, how clean the restaurant is to the service as soon as you walk in the front door.

We have been driving past here for years....friends have been twice and tonight invited us! We've been snoozing on this one! If you go you must get an order of the Tostones.Omg, best Tostones I had ever had. Served with house made guacamole get two orders if you're a party of 4 or more. We did an order of the pork wings and a meat and chicken patties (empanadas). I wasn't a big fan of the patties, I'm an Argentinean empanada kinda gal. Everyone enjoyed the wings. I love rotisserie chicken, but this is next level marinated and perfectly crisp. Imagine the best greek chicken you've ever had times ten. My friend had the Chaufa Rice, which is a peruvian-chinese fried rice preparation think Peruvian Benihana. One of the teenagers had steak which was prepared beautifully, another had a beautifully tender fall apart salmon, the eldest had the country plate with chicharones. Both husbands had the breaded steak which I sampled, think a flavorful breaded thin country steak. A table for 7 seated at an 8 top on the Thursday after Valentine's Day. An Orlando miracle! Definitely stop in if you're visiting Universal or looking for a new restaurant with terrific food.

Delicious food and lovely waitress! I was in Orlando for work and came here with my coworkers. They have really good cocktails - I got the Calpirinha which had the Brazilian spirit. I can't remember what my coworkers got but the drinks were delicious as well. I recommend getting the dark meat over the white meat if you're here for the chicken. Unless you're trying to eat healthy, the white meat is very dry and not tender. I really like the chicken soup that came with one of the chicken entrees. We also got the mushed green tomato and guacamole as appetizers. The highlight from this meal was the mushed green tomato. I've never had those before and the garlic white sauce that comes with is so pungent in a good way!

"They're your tastebuds! Satisfy them!" I've eaten here at Pio Pio many times before, including at their old location across the street when it was a smaller restaurant. Times have changed, venues have moved, but the quality of food is still as excellent as it was years ago. One of my favorite dishes here is the 1/4 Chicken, but I went after the 1/2 rotisserie chicken (dark meat) instead. So, so good. I will always get that dish with beans and rice, and tostones (fried plantain). If I'm real hungry, I'll order beef or chicken Empanadas. Cooked to perfection! Good with the white or green (spicy) sauce. If I really want to go all out, I would get the Fried Red Snapper (at Market Price) with the same sides. Such a beautiful dish to behold. For locals and vacationers alike, try this place out. You can't go wrong! "They're your tastebuds! Satisfy them!" -Allan Delacruz

Pros: ambience is calming and classy Cons: food was mediocre, the whole snapper ($34.75) was small and was not as fresh (fishy & not marinated) comparable to other peruvian restaurants that serve this dish... it came with a salad (meh), tostones & fried yuca( about 3 - 4 pieces each) - those were good, cant go wrong with that. Pescado (peruvian) Ceviche was good but not great $24.75 Overall, pricey and not great. Maybe other dishes are better but not coming back.

Found this place while my husband and I were arguing about what to eat while vacationing at universal studios last week. We weren't aware that it was literally right behind the resort we stayed at! I'm a huge fan of Peruvian food and I also love Colombian food, so this was just the perfect place to try before coming back home to Maryland. Needless to say, so glad we tried it. My husband and I shared the Bandeja Paisa (5/5 stars) it was soooo good. And it was def enough for the both of us. BUT the arepas were the size of dollar coins which was extremely disappointing causeeee why are they so small??? I had to order an extra one for like $1.50 which is crazy cause they're so tiny. We also shared with our daughter a guacamole topped with chicharrón (there's a name for it but I can't remember it and I can't find it on the menu). It was absolutely delicious! Even with the tomatoes in the guac (I hate tomatoes in my guac!). The tostones were perfectly fried, the guac was seasoned well and the addition of the chicharrón was perfection. Now, the reason why I gave it 4 and not 5 stars was because we ordered a 1/4 white chicken for our daughter and the size of the chicken breast was measly. It was so small for it being $18! I wish I wouldve taken a picture of it. The white rice wasn't seasoned like true Peruvian rice is, which was disappointing. Our waitress was incredibly sweet and attentive and helpful. I would love to visit this place again when we get the chance to be back in Florida.

OMG so good. Yeah, it's a mashup of Peru and Colombia, but the mashup works and the food is so tasty. Some tips: - Arrive hungry! Those portions are large - Despite being on the appetizers list, the tasty ceviche is easily an entree if you don't share it - Drinks are STIFF, do not order the caipirinha or similar high-alcohol drinks if you're the driver. You'll be calling a cab. - Yes, the jalapeno sauce really is spicy. All this, and below-average prices. Definitely a standout restaurant for Orlando's tourist district.

Good Food and good atmosphere. Service was ok. The Hostess, a young woman that I wish I would've gotten her name, had NO PROFESSIONAL TRAINING whatsoever. We walked in (a party of 5) and asked if there were any tables available. She asked how many and we said 5. She said no. That's it. Nothing else. so I looked at her waiting to see if she would say something like, No, I'm sorry we're full and the wait time would be 45 minutes, 2 hours or something. So as I'm looking at her she says with an attitude, unless you want to wait 10 minutes. ummmm, what? lol. we said we would wait. The issue with the waiter, as I said earlier service was ok. UNTIL! He gave us the check and decided NOT TO TELL US that he and/or the restaurant decided that their service was worthy of a 20% TIP and included in the bill. Even though we always leave 20% the fact that they didn't tell us is a sneaky and crappy thing to do. This will be the last time we go to this restaurant. There's always, Aji Ceviche (our family's favorite), Taste of Peru, Memories of Peru, etc. I'm wondering how many times they got me with that, because we've been there a few times. I know the one on Semoran hasn't done that and I've been there with a bigger party. Once we left, although we felt taken advantage of, we kindly said thank you to the hostess and she looked up, ignored us and put here head back down. BY DEFINITION A HOSTESS'S PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES REVOLVE AROUND CREATING A WELCOMING ATMOSPHERE AND ENSURING A SMOOTH DINING EXPERIENCE FOR GUESTS. For the Waiter, STOP TRYING TO GET AWAY WITH THEFT. At least you'll have an extra space in your little parking lot.

The food here was absolutely delicious. We got seated right away and all our food came out so quickly. It was all hot and fresh and tasted amazing. Definitely get the fried calamari, it melts in your mouth. Our waitress was also the bartender so she didn't come around too often, but we had no problems with our meal so that was okay. It is very loud inside so just be prepared for that. The parking lot is also very very small, so carpool if you're going with a big group!

I first came across this Orlando gem while visiting a friend on a stopover from a trip to the Promised Land. I asked the sweet young lady at the hotel next door, "where do you like to eat around here". Clean spacious and friendly staff. On my third and fourth visits (all in the same three day period) I fell in more in love with Pío Pío! The food is great! Some of the best Ceviche I've ever had. Fresh, lot's of flavor and you get a nice sized portion. The Rotisserie Chicken is absolutely perfect. Not dry, salty or undercooked. Cooked perfectly and it's moist and juicy. On another working trip I had the Grilled Pork Chops. Another item cooked to perfection. You will not be disappointed in any item from the menu. The staff is wonderful, helpful and patient. Stop in for a bite or wind away an afternoon at the bar. This will continue to be one of my stops while in the Mouse House.

We haven't been to Pio Pio in forever and this is actually in a different location than we have. The rotisserie chicken here is so good. The best we have had in a while. The seasoning is perfect. It's so juicy and it really is the best. We ordered the whole chicken and you can order sides. They also have it as entrees where you can order 1/4 or 1/2 chicken that includes sides but buying the whole chicken and sides separately was better price wise. This was awesome and we would come back just for this chicken. Service not so great. But the chicken alone will make us come back. Ambiance is loud when you first walk in, but luckily we were in another side room that looks like it was enclosed and is full a/c! Parking is very squishy.

Obsessed Obsessed Obsessed with this place ! We loved it so much we came for dinner two days back to back ! it's the perfect dinner when you want to eat out but still have homey tasty food. The service was pleasant and the ambiance is very family oriented. I wish we had a Pio Pio in Miami. The next time i'm in orlando i AM stopping by! as a matter of fact i'll even make a drive just to eat here again lol !

Came in on a Sunday night for dinner and we had a good time. The service was fast and the server was friendly. The restaurant had a clean feel to it with a nice relaxed vibe to it. I started with a red sangria which was pretty good not to sweet. The chicken soup to start had a lot of flavor and I definitely recommend. For main we had the bandeja paisa and the churrasco which was cooked perfectly . While most of the food tasted good, we felt that the steaks specifically the churrasco was lacking seasoning. Overall we had a good time and the food was ok. I would give them another try.
