Pio Pio is where I discovered my love for Lomo Saltado. In my opinion it's one of the best dishes on the menu. It is flavorful, filling and delicious. The service is always pleasant and quick. I've never had to wait to be seated at Pio Pio 6. I also really like the addition of the lunch special, it's a really good price! As far as the atmosphere goes... I don't really feel like there is one. It's a pretty basic set up and doesn't have much character. Compared to the Pio Pio in Hells Kitchen, it's lacking. It's a little run down and but has the potential to be more suave. They have beautiful exposed brick which could assist in a dark, sexy intimate vibe. Regardless the lomo saltado, juanitas chicken and salchipapa are the stars of the menu. Pio Pio 6 is a great weeknight comfy date for yourself, with friends or a partner!

Quarter Chicken with Fried Yucca

First time at this location, but sadly it didn't taste as good as I remembered. Maybe the Pio Pio in Hell's Kitchen is better? Their lunch special is totally worth it, for $14.50 you can get a quarter chicken with salad, and choose a side plus a soda. For the side, we opted for fried yucca which was a bad choice. Super dry and hard to eat. Of course had to get the lomo saltado but the filet didn't blow me away. For $32, it was definitely not worth it. I was let down!!

The server is extremely attentive and nice. The place it self is intimate and dark. This is my second time at Pío Pío and I can say I'm in between about this place because they have the best juiciest chicken but the rice and beans was a big miss for me! The beans taste like they've just opened the can of beans and threw it on the plate it was cold and hard and the rice was still hard and raw. The salchipapa was ok the fries were soggy and flavorless. I would return for the chicken and service but overall I don't think I'll be returning back anytime soon.

I came here with a small group of friends for a late dinner. The staff were able to set up a table for us right away, which I was grateful about. There was a chill vibe to the place. There wasn't that much I was interested in on the menu, because I had tried the chicken, tostones, rice and many other items. I finally decided on the Jalao dish, which was a plethora of fried seafood, including fish, shrimp, calamari, along with onion rings and yuca fries. This was also served with red onion corn salad. I ordered the small size, but it was a HUGE platter. The seafood was full of flavor, and I especially enjoyed the fish and shrimp. The fish was tender and flaky, while the shrimp was juicy and perfectly cooked. They both had a wonderful crispiness. Calamari was decent, though wasn't crunchy enough and a bit on the chewy side. The yuca fries were quite yummy. Everything tasted even better with the well seasoned, savory green sauce. The salad was a nice fresh element to the meal. Service was just okay. It felt a bit rushed, as they were closing towards the end of our time there. I would most likely not return to this location.

Joined a friend here for a quick dinner recently. If you're not too hungry they offer a half chicken option. Perfect portion along with rice and beans on the side. Delish!

1/4 Chicken, fries, & white sangria. Plus the fantastic green sauce.

I'm gonna say it... rotisserie chicken is the superior chicken. Even better than fried. Fight me on it. And Pio Pio does a great rotisserie chicken. I ordered the 1/4 chicken and fries. After I placed the order I thought maybe I should have ordered the 1/2. But after I saw the amount of fries I knew it was plenty of food. Unexpectedly, they have above average fries. Thick cut, perfectly salted, and tender. Now let's talk about the star of the show, the green sauce. It comes out before anything else does because it's not to be missed. Perfect accompaniment to the chicken. It's spicy but not overwhelmingly so. It's herby and bright. Delicious. The white sangria is also very good. Especially on a summer night. Refreshing. If I had a Ronco "set it and forget it" rotisserie oven I would have rotisserie chicken every week. But Pio Pio makes it into a nice treat with the green sauce you can't get anywhere else.

Jalea

We came to celebrate my BF B-Day, a group of 8 people. Fried Squid & Salchipapas for Appetizers. Pitchers of Sangria. A variety of Main dishes to share: Arroz Chaufa, Jalea, Pollo Asado, Lomo Saltado. So much food, delicious. We ate, drank and were happy. A couple of Tres Leches were shared for dessert. Service was attentive, the ambiance great.

Side of saffron rice and beans.

The portions were huge and the flavor was spot on. I loved their green sauce and their chicken was super juicy. We also got the limo Saltado and this was probably my favorite dish. The steak was juicy, the sauce was savory, and the onions were crunchy. Lots of flavors and texture so good.

Mixto Ceviche
Lulu T.

Been coming here for 10+ years. The food is always consistent! The service is amazing, very friendly. The place is clean as well. The Mixto ceviche was fresh, quality seafood and even better flavor. Really authentic food. The calamari was ok, needed more flavor than more salt. The tamarind pisco passion was so good! They don't skimp on the alcohol here. I also ordered the rotisserie chicken with beans and rice and as usual it was juicy and well seasoned. I'll be visiting again soon.

Calamari
Udochi M.

We were in the mood for something hearty and we decided to head over to pio pio! I've never had Peruvian chicken, but am always down to try something at least once. The layout of the restaurant is interesting... very open and what you see is what you get! But it's great for people watching, as I found some people in the booths working/eating, complete strangers deciding to spark up conversation with the table next to them, and big reunions happening all around us. It was so much fun being a part of that! The staff are funny and everyone has a bit of character. We ordered a few different things. To start the calamari, the palta rellena, and fried plantains. Calamari wasn't the best i've ever had... i prefer them crispier and with a little more seasoning, but it was good. Same goes for the plantains they weren't ripe enough for me, so they weren't as sweet, but they were still good. I'd opt-out of the palta rellena. It wasn't what we expected lol, and was interesting hahaha. For our mains we all got the Juanita chicken, and a side of rice and beans. That was absolutely delicious, but I thought the quarter piece was very small and i's opt to go one size bigger. And we had a delicious lemon sorbet to top the night off. Will be back!

Excellent food and and service! I sat at the bar and the bartender Fernan was super nice and made a good White Sangria. They take good care of their guests! Definitely check this place out! Another plus was I literally waited less than 5 minutes for my food! Talk about fast, quick, and friendly service! Make sure you have their green sauce!! Peruvian food whenever I go into Manhattan is a must!!

Have asked a few times when ordering takeout that the salad be prepared fresh, not one that has been sitting in the fridge. Waterlogged lettuce that always needs the salad spinner, same with cucumbers, tomatoes always meh, fries limp. Plus the price is out of control. Loved this location for a long time but time to break up. :(

Pio Pio is a great spot to bring friends and family to enjoy tasty drinks and delicious food. My SO and I arrived on a weekday afternoon and it was about half-filled so we were able to get a seat pretty easily. We started off with a half pitcher of sangria which was nice and sweet. A great pair for the rest of the food we were to enjoy. We ordered the Limeno ceviche, Juanita's chicken, and some sides. They were pretty big portions and reasonably priced for NYC. They have lots of shareables which makes it a great place to come with larger parties. The service was great. The waiters were always around to help and make sure our dine-in experience was great. The ambiance was not bad. It wasn't anything special especially in comparison to the Pio Pio more south of this here which is much nicer looking. But this place gets the job done and will always be a great go-to when in the area.

Came to Havana Central for dinner and had an enjoyable meal…read more This restaurant is ALWAYS packed, as soon as you enter, you're hit with sounds of happy customers, and the decor is elegantly tropical. Our Server, Ramon, did an exceptional job. The staff did a great job at clearing finished items and everyone's timing was spot on. We started with the Tostones Rellenos con picadillo (Green plantains stuffed with ground beef). This was a great starter. Large enough to share and I enjoyed the drizzled sweet sauce and whole olives. Our entrees were: Palomilla Steak Platter (thin cut sirloin steak) and the Ropa Vieja (shredded flank steak). Both dishes were accompanied by white rice and we chose black beans and a side salad. This was the first time that I've seen Palomilla Steak presented totally cut into strips and it was a welcomed sight. The Ropa Vieja was perfectly seasoned and the amount of meat was thoroughly enjoyed. I capped off the meal with a Cortadito (A cortado is a Spanish coffee beverage consisting of equal parts espresso and warm, lightly steamed milk. The name comes from the Spanish verb cortar (to cut), meaning the milk "cuts" the acidity and intensity of the espresso. I appreciated the cookie on the side and each sip was amazing. Havana Central has various choices, to accommodate your time of day: lunch specials, a pre-theater menu, and a Happy Hour.

I love Havana Central! My favorite restaurant in the area because I love Cuban food so maybe I'm…read moreslightly biased but the service is fast, friendly, and efficient! The atmosphere and ambiance is so authentico! Can't wait to go back! It's a must in NYC! Shoutout to German, Carlos, Aaron, Jeremy and the fantastic staff! ¡Viva Cuba Libre! Cuba
