We ordered door dash but this is a great place to order takeout from. Serving up Peruvian style chicken you can order anything to just a couple of pieces to a whole chicken and family meals. A good selection of sides, desserts, and drinks. You can't go wrong with this spot. An excellent spot to grab your next meal. read more

I love Peruvian rotisserie chicken, although it can be a little too salty. I've been eating at Pio Pio for many years... their chicken is consistently good (but the skin isn't always crispy, which I prefer). They also have a great $15.50 lunch special: quarter chicken with a side (maduros, rice, beans etc.) and beverage. Quarter chicken $7.50 plus tax. If you're in Murray Hill or Kips Bay, stop by for take out or dine in. read more

Pio Pio 7 - Quart Quarter of Juanita's Chicken with green sauce on the side $7.50 plus tax - Latin American Near Me - New York, New York

The green sauce is definitely something I can drown any meal in. It was really delicious. The dark meat on the lunch special was tender and it easy to take a part, barely used my hands. Rice was solid. And the side salad, NGL having avocados and drowning it green sauce again is really tasty. If you are in Midtown East, definitely come here. Lunch specials are hard to come by for the price. At $15.50 it was worth it in my eyes. Not my meal but tasted, the tostones were worth and again drowning it in green sauce was perfect. If they sold that green sauce to go, I'd buy!! read more

I first visited this establishment on 34th Street, which was down the block from NYU Lagone Hospital on June 24th. I enjoyed the food immensely, I had the shrimp fried rice. It was a Wednesday at 6pm. I returned October 8th looking to eat the same shrimp fried rice. The time was 11am they had just opened Thursday morning. I got the fried sweet plantains no complaints. I was very hungry as I didn't eat breakfast. I informed the manager, the rice didn't taste the same, as I was looking for the shrimp and the portion was smaller. It was in a soup bowl, as the last time I had a good amount of leftovers. The bill was $39.18, the manager took the madras off the fried sweet plantains I was not pleased, as I told them I visited before and enjoyed my meal immensely. They are NOT consistent with size or taste of food. Last time to give PioPio on 34th street my hard earned money In the end I paid $30 for some stale shrimp fried rice, with 10 pieces. Horrible!!!​​ read more

Pio Pio just makes me happy--like "smiling at my plate" happy. The chicken is always flavorful and juicy, and the fact that I can get dark meat only? A blessing I didn't know I needed. The rice? Listen... it's so packed with flavor and so filling, it could file its own taxes as a full meal. Whenever I'm craving rotisserie chicken, Pio Pio isn't just my first choice--it's the only choice. My taste buds don't negotiate. read more

Pio pio never disappoints! I have craved this meal for weeks and so happy I finally treated myself. I got the classics - rotisserie, rice and beans, avocado salad, and their famous green sauce. It is a lot of food for one person but lasts me a few days. The chicken is so flavorful and falls right off the bone. The green sauce is epic and I bought a huge container of it because I knew one small one wouldn't be enough. I've heard of people saving the sauce and using it for other items such as scrambled eggs. Pio pio will always be a staple in my takeout rotations. read more

Este lugar es horrible. Especialmente la chica que está sentada en el fondo, está todo el tiempo en el celular y si quieres ordenar algo te ve mal o te ignora, según es la encargada pero en horrible la atención. Solo te atienden bien si eres blanquito, porque discriminan a su propia gente. La comida es básica y lo único medio bueno es el pollo. Pero por la mala atención no vale la pena venir a pasar un mal rato read more

I had dinner with a friend who recommended this eatery. The place is very small. However, it has a very cozy atmosphere which would be perfect if, you wanted to bring a date. We ordered the full rotisserie chicken with the saffron rice. The chicken was cooked perfectly, it was flavorful, and very tender. I truly enjoyed it. Jessica the server was wonderful, and took good care of us. There will be a next time. read more

Most of the time, they sell fresh chicken, unfortunately, they sold me the chicken from the previous day. Moreover, you can tell by how the wings and legs look. Very dry and burnt. I would suggest as you make an order for chicken, request the chicken that was made that day. read more

PROs - food taste , location , price , food quantity CONs - service , ambience , spacing between tables !! 3.5 stars First timer . Wanted to try something new and spotted this restaurant in Google with 4+ review. First of all , it was a little tough to spot this restaurant .. it got lost to the restaurant next door called Babylon :). Wish they had some side boards . Price wise it was ok. Paid about 15 $ for lunch special .. service could be better . The women who took order didn't want to answer me about the menu. I'm new to Peruvian cuisine and didn't know what each food meant . Good was actually delicious . Loved the quarter chicken .. it was really tasty and well made . Salad was ok. Rice and bean was so good . There was very less space between tables .. you are almost sitting very close fo the next table and whatever they speak , you can hear and it's kinda not that good . Just for the food I gave 4 stars . Wanted to give 3 stars but 1 more star for the chef .. read more

Holy crap this place is sooo good! I had high expectations given how popular this spot is among locals but it lived up to the hype. If you're looking for a simple, light yet flavorful dish, this place is perfect. The chicken was falling off the bone and every part of it was so juicy. The green sauce was amazing. We got the fried cam which complemented the savory chicken. The inside is really homey, and the service is great. Highly recommend adding in the fried plantains. Absolutely love this spot and we will definitely be repeat customers! read more

Pio Pio 7 - Rice beans chicken salad - Latin American Near Me - New York, New York

I order half a chicken all breast every other day. I have to complain because it's been too many times that I receive my order and it's so dry my cat can't even swallow it. I am a steady faithful customer and when I had called to speak to a manager no one was available. So I spoke to a gentleman who answered the phone and I was explaining to him that it's been several times that they send me a dry hard chicken. You would think that he would be understanding about my situation but he wasn't. And they're very pricey so today I spent 40 dollars on chicken. And I am very pissed off. On Monday I will be calling to speak to a manager if he ever gets there to complain. Not even a discount was applied to my order. read more

Nice atmosphere with friendly servers. Roasted chicken is the best thing to get although jalea is also very good. Salad is always good and fresh. Yucca frita and fries are both ok but don't have much flavor. read more

Moist and tasty chicken. The red beans so tasty and comforting. Place full and busy. Would return when back out here in NYC.

Came in for a co-worker's birthday lunch and was so pleased with my meal! The service is quick and pleasant. I went with the lunch special which was $14 for a quarter chicken of either dark or white meat, you can choose from a few sides I went with rice and beans . It also came with an avocado salad and a soda. I mean who can beat that ! Especially because the food was piping hot , very fresh and so flavorful that we literally were quiet at the table just enjoying the good food haha . The ambiance is also chill and filled with people working in the area who came in the for the special as well! All in all great experience and hope you check them out ! read more

Delicious food, great service, reasonable prices. Some lovely murals with a Latin vibe.

Pio Pio is fantastic! The restaurant is very homey feeling, with a very basic setting and paper table covers (kids can draw on it!) but the food and service is wonderful. The portions are generous and pricing is reasonable. Not pictured is the full bottle of green sauce given to the table as soon as you're seated. The sauce goes with everything! We ordered ceviche, yuca fries, and half chicken and I'm happy to say everything was delicious and flavorful. The sangria was a massive cupful and super refreshing! This is a great restaurant for a casual dinner with friends or family. read more

Ordered 2 rotisserie chicken combos, 1 lomo saltado, 1 chaufa and 1 jalea for Christmas dinner (all to-go). The service was fast and the packaging was also acceptable, however the flavor was not there. You can really tell that the chicken was not freshly made and was just reheated from at least the day before. The chicken chaufa was so-so lack of flavor but good quantities for the price paid. The Lomo Saltado was OK, sauce was al mix up with the rice in the same container, I think it will be good if the sauce and rice are packaged in separate containers. The jalea sauce was good and generous, also the green salsa was good. For the price paid I do not think the quality is there, I'm a little disappointed of this place, I will give 2 stars just because the sauces were generally good, unfortunately we had to order pizza just after this dinner as kids didn't eat much (we are Peruvians). read more

This is a Peruvian restaurant that specializes in rotisserie chicken with homemade sauce. The chicken is so juicy and flavorful. It definitely lives up to the hype. I also tried Peruvian Mixto Ceviche, spicy and refreshing, just the way I liked it. read more

Simple and good. Combo is a good deal with a group. We got the combo. The portions were generous and the chicken was nicely glazed nd juicy inside, but the skin was quite hard. The green sauce went well with everything. We finished half the bottle lol oops! Attentive service, the sangria did something it was tasty and strong would recommend. Inca cola was nice to try, color was fun and the taste was like mountain dew but not fully, it taste familiar tho childhood things. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Single bathroom feel like a closet with a full length mirror. I really wanted to try the lucuma ice cream but next time! read more

No stars...We placed an order 4 days ago for thanksgiving dinner. As we waited for our order, we watched virtually as the delivery person waited for the order. Then, suddenly the order was cancelled leaving us with nothing for Thanksgiving. Thanks for nothing. Any restaurant that would do that isn't worth our time. read more

I was a fan of this place before but we used them to cater our last office party yesterday and it was Terrible! We ordered 4 of the matador combos. They sent us a small pan of rice and the pan was not filled. The chicken was EXTREMELY salty that we had to toss most of it and send out for more from another place nearby. They even skimped up on the salad. I was going to let this go but I received so many complaints about the food quality and portion today which was a day later. Mind you we used them before and it was way better. I called them and not much can be done. I will never order from this place again for neither personal or professional gatherings. we spend over $300 on food and it was nowhere near the amount we should've received. read more

Su pollo a la brasa es más o menos de 1 al 10 un 7 una sola salsa verde y si pides mayonesa te dan de sobre NO tiene las clásicas salsas peruana. En mi experiencia pedí un cuarto de pollo con papas y ensalada, las papas me aprobaron el hígado por el aceite y la ensalada llegó cuando estaba terminado mi pollo. El mesero están atento a las meses que solo sus ojos veían . No pienso regresar NO es un auténtica comida peruana read more

Super yummy food! The price was not bad especially for the portion. I took it out but they had some seating options at the restaurant, not sure how enjoyable eating in would be since the restaurant is small and delivery drivers are constantly coming in and out. I will definitely order again for a good comfort meal! read more

If you're looking for a filling and balanced lunch, check out Pio Pio. Though there are no vegetarian lunch specials I asked if I could have the special without meat and the waitress offered me plantains instead. I consider that a win! The restaurant, though small, is colorful and bright. Perfect place for a quick lunch somewhere in between fast food and fancy. read more

Wandered in here based on a recommendation from lady doing my bloodwork nearby. Empty on a Thurs at 11:20am but does a nonstop stream of delivery orders - they even have a table area set aside for delivery workers to wait, it's really nice. I got the lunch special quarter chicken with salad and rice and beans. Peruvian rotisserie chicken is bomb. And they serve it with the ubiquitous green sauce that I slather on everything. Comes with a drink too. Best value for the area - including a generous tip came out to be $20. Food came quickly after I ordered and it's casual-ish for lunch. Didn't get to try the sangria which was recommended to me by the nice bloodwork lady but will be back to try it someday. read more

Pio Pio is a convenient and affordable place to have some Peruvian chicken. We went during lunch time and had no trouble finding a table right away. We ordered the lunch special which comes with a quarter chicken, a side and a drink. the chicken was good, but the maduros that i asked for on the side were not sweet or ripe, it was a good portion, but they were just not very appetizing. The service was fast and polite and would go again for more! read more

The indoor tables are so spread out, we were surprised. It seems like every NYC restaurant has tables on top of each other. Not here. The food is delicious. The waitstaff is so friendly. This location is much smaller than the one on the West Side Great meal. We'll definitely be back. read more

Tasty, affordable, gluten free food. We got take out and fed the family of 4 for under $40.

Came here for "brunch" on Sunday. We were the first customers of the day. Ordered empanadas and avocado salad to start and roasted chicken, fried yucca and a chicken soup for main courses. The food comes out really quick and if you order everything at once, it all comes out at the same time - so pace your order! read more

Pio Pio 7 - Menu - Latin American Near Me - New York, New York

I'm writing a 5 star review for a restaurant primarily known for its Peruvian rotisserie chicken and I don't eat chicken. This sounds a bit absurd on its face, kind of like going to a steakhouse as a vegetarian (except turning around and writing a poor review of that steakhouse would be well, poor judgment) but hear me out. Their long menu of Peruvian classics, including ceviche, maduros, salchipapa, and rice and beans are prepared amazingly well and made even more delicious by their famous green sauce. I recommend calling ahead and ordering a bunch of food to go and eat with a few friends so you can sample a wide variety of dishes. I did just that and had a veritable 5 star feast. I think I need to dedicate a section of my review to the green sauce. Zesty, creamy, spicy-- aji verde is a beautiful combination of cilantro, onion, garlic, mayo, mustard, and jalapenos. It goes with pretty much any savory food and can punch up even the blandest dish. It's also developed such a following that they even sell the sauce by the pint, and it is totally worth it. I pretty much douse every bite in the stuff. I follow a pescatarian diet and was happy to find multiple seafood options on the menu, including calamari and two types of ceviche. I went with the mixto, which included generous pieces of shrimp, octopus, and calamari marinated in a lime and pepper juice. This paired wonderfully with a number of different carb options, which I rotated through, including rice & beans, maduro, and salchipapa. Every bite was better than the last, and I found myself reaching for more food long after I became full. I'm happy to have been indoctrinated into the Pio Pio cult, even as a non-chicken eater. I've been sleeping on the rest of their food, but now that I'm privy to it, I'll certainly be back for more. read more

Pio Pio is mad reliable. Decent scene, service just at the New York city meter of acceptable. Waiter we had couldn't hear us clearly, our party was kind of lively. The chicken was good as usual, I had the lomo, which was good. I didn't really like my fries but those aren't the star of the dish. The space is kind of cramped for my liking. I'd revisit this location but most likely I'll stick to the nicer upper west side outpost. read more

I love Pío Pío. Terrific lunch deal for $15 for a nice salad. 1/4 chicken with French fries, rice and beans and maduros (the sweet fried plantains). The place is very small and doesn't take reservations so it's good if you go a little early or a little late. read more
