What we ordered: sancocho, vaca frita, quipe and orange juice. The sancocho was very yummy, but I wish it had more protein in it. We had the same opinion about the vaca frita, very good, but there was more onions than meat. The quipe was amazing! Would definitely have that again. The orange juice was fresh and not too sweet. If I would've known the amount of rice they give I wouldn't have ordered an extra side of rice for my soup lol. read more

Best Dominican place in Hialeah Gardens! The service is exceptional, the food is amazing ! I just recently ordered my first catering service from them for one of my clients ... the very popular dominican breakfast .... called Tres Golpes or Tripleta which consist of mangu, fried cheese, fried eggs, Dominican salami! The team who I ordered for were so so so happy! they took care of every detail! I feel like a rockstar thanks to Pio Pio, they came thru above and beyond! read more

Muy buena comida , me prepararon el Mofongo acompañado de chicharrón de pollo y les quedó divino. What Can go wrong with a Mofongo ( green plantains mashed with garlic and crispy pork ) accompanied with crispy chicken? You can ask for other meats to accompany your Mofongo. I loved it . Will return to this place. read more

Best in Miami! The service is always great, the food is perfect. If your looking for good Dominican vibes I recommend coming here!

This is a small family owned Dominican restaurant in Hialeah Gardens. Super delicious food, great service and awesome prices. I had the "Mofongo with Vaca Frita" and it was amazing, the best flavor in town hands down. Mofongo is a dominican dish made out of fried pork skin mixed with garlic and mashed green plantains. You pay about $8.50 for the dish and the portion can almost feed two people. For appetizer you gotta have "Queso Frito" (fried cheese). read more

El Nuevo Pio Pio is my go to place! We order at least 2 to 3 times a week. Only place I have ordered from consistently from especia during the last few months. The staff is awesome so very nice. The food is awesome so well made no matter what is ordered! Chicken soup, Mangu, Vaca Frita, Moros, Pan con Bistec, Queso Frito, Empanadas you name it they have it and all made with love! The Limonada oh my goodness the best ever! read more

The food is authentic and delicious. I have only tried the Mangu with the three golpes (salami, sausage, and fried cheese) and the sweet plantains smashed with fried eggs. Although they over salted the mangu this breakfast does not disappoint especially the serving size for the price. The only negative is their chocoflan was not good. read more

Just ordered in Uber eats. I loved the food! Great taste, and packaged really well. Generously portioned.

We needed some place to go close to a friends hotel and found this. Barely! It's tucked WAY inside a small shopping plaza. At least we found it. There is a very small and limited menu. We ordered a chicharrone appetizer that was friend but all fat and it was still squishy, not hard like it typically is. My husband got some kind of chicken dish that came with plantains and a salad. He said ti was over-fried and had a lot of bones in it. It reminded him of "island food" The plantains were hard and not soft. Our other friend ordered a steak dish that came with beans. I ordered the mofongo with shrimp. The oil/sauce for the mofongo wasn't really similar to anything I've ever had as it was more saucy than oily. The shrimp was in a separate dish served in a reddish sauce that didn't have much flavor. The waitress was very attentive and kept our Coronoa's coming to the table. But we had to raise a fuss about the loud music the locals were playing. Once, when I looked over at the guy playing the music through his system, he was looking right at me with his hand on a knob. I felt as though they were trying to run us out with loud music since we were the only white people inside. Even this guy went outside to use his cellphone. We finally complained and they turned it down so we could at least have a conversation. There are a lot of better places to get spanish food from. This isn't the worst, but it's far from being the best, either. read more

What a disappointment! I found this restaurant on yelp & given that it had ok reviews, i figured we can try it out. We arrived to loud music & a bunch of pple drinking at the counter, drunk & loud. No one said hello while we sat ourselves and waited for our menus. We ordered mangu with fried cheese, salami & eggs that was extremely oily. The mangu was extremely pasty! I am Dominican and never tasted anything like that before, a total disappointment! I wasnt able to finish my meal. I ordered rice, beans & chicken fingers for the kids & they were so upset because it was too hard for them to chew. Seemed as if it wasn't fresh and just re-fried. Will never return or recommend anyone to this place. What a shame because it has the potential. read more

The owner is extremely rude. She came at me for for no reason with so much disrespect and attitude, I was in shock.. If she is the example for her employees then I don't know. read more

If you're looking for a local Dominican spot this one is a good choice. I come here mostly for the mangu de plátano maduro, as it's one of the few Dominican restaurants that offers the option. The queso frito is hands down the best of any other local Dominican restaurant. As a Dominican I'm a plátano expert by nature and while it's not the best mangu around town it's still delicious! The owner is always in the front laughing and creating a great, friendly vibe. read more

Worst service !! food was cold coffee was old and sweet no customer service and the mangu was mixed with potatoes the ser er are horrible and over price for food quality read more

Little hole in the wall in Hialeah Gardens. Love to find places like this that end up being gems. Had the breakfast special. Two eggs over easy, two bacon, French fries and Cuban toast all under $4.00. They have homemade orange juice. The ham croquetas are delicious, totally worth it to taste. Cuban cafe con leche delish. Whenever I come back for the lunch or dinner will write about that then. read more

I come here everyday and Mary, Cynthia, Neisa, Elsa and Confesora, yes, that's her real name treat me like a brother/son depending on who you are. The cuatro golpes is my daily fare and they've learned how I like it, quemao con la ñema blandita, just like my mother used to make. So, if you want to eat real Dominican food, cooked as if you were sitting in someone's house in Santo Domingo, this is the place to be. I've brought all of my friends for the sancocho, mondongo, mofongo, carne Frita and quipes! Small, close knit and friendly, Pio Pio is a staple of my daily living. Sad to see that people had issues here and didn't say anything. read more

El Nuevo Pio Pio Cafe - Dominican Near Me - Hialeah, Florida

So I came to eat here with my daughter I asked for a orange juice for my daughter, instead of suggesting if natural was ok they assumed and just brought out the juice . Obviously my daughter didnt like it due to the pulp. I called my waiter an asked if I can change it. She said yes dont worry, thinking they were going to change it she took the juice. Once my bill came the 5$ juice was on it i called the manager because waitress couldnt explain to me why it was still on my bill if she took it . Manager said it was made i had to pay for it, so i said ok but where is my juice she took it an threw it out instead of telling me it couldnt be erased an leaving it on my table . Also they serve all there friends that go to eat before other customers. I wish i can give 0 stars very upset. read more

Thanks to yelp I found this little hidden gem right down the street from my house! I was craving a Dominican breakfast, I came here with high hopes and definitely was not disappointed. I'm Dominican and I must say, their mangu was better than mine LOL. I had mangu with a fried egg and salami - EXQUISITE! I'll definitely be a frequent here and will recommend to anyone wanting some authentic Dominican food. read more

This is my first and probably last review, I really don't like to speak negatively about a place unless their food is truly terrible. The reason I don't judge a place by their appearance or staff's attention is because ultimately the reason I go to a restaurant is to eat, and if truly wanted to be pampered or have my ego stroked I would have visited a day spa. I guess by now you know the gripe I have with this restaurant is the quality of their food, breakfast is what I had in particular. I ordered the "cuatro golpes" or "four punches" and I have to give it to them because it really felt like getting punched in the stomach four times by the sloppiest food you can imagine. The items in said breakfast are mangu, salami, fried cheese, and langonisa sausage but it doesn't matter as the flavors are muddled by the overly gratuitous amount of oil used to cook everything. Eggs over easy? More like over greasy. Anyone who values their money should reconsider buying anything from here as it's seriously overpriced for Crisco covered crap. read more

I order my breakfast from here frequently because I absolutely love it! The mangu is one of the best I've had. The staff is very nice and the price is fair. read more
