I ordered the chupe de camarones and it was outstanding. I am Peruvian so I was really pleased with the authenticity of the meal. My husband ordered the lomo saltado and the beef was tender and juicy.

Great service & delicious, authentic food. App: Palta Rellena. Main: Arroz Chaufa, Camarones Cuzco or Lomo Saltado. Drink: Red Sangria, trust me! This location is a bit more laid back than downtown's.

Actually great Peruvian food. Authentic. Great for big groups as the dishes are generously proportioned. Good for sharing family-style

My favorite restaurant in NYC until now! The ceviche and the coupe are incredible. Everyone who loves Peruvian food as to go there.

Huge portions. Must order chicken & share. The plantains are a must too. Great for group parties & celebrations. Big space. Get the private area down at the very back.

When I am in New York, I visit this place multiple times - every time. The bartender made me an amazing Mango Margarita (and, of course, the Sangria is a must have!).

Food and Service was Awesome ...Large amounts of food and the chicken is a must as well as the ceviche to top it off. Sangria was tasty. Overall a wonderful place ESP for a date two thumbs up !!

Order "El Matador" - incredible quantity of delicious Peruvian cuisine. My g/f is Peruvian so she knows what's up. Gotta do it. And slather your chicken in the tostones sauce. Vaya!

Portions are huge. If your party is 3 or more, get a number of entrees equal to about 2/3 of your party size and do family style, unless you want to carry doggie bags home.

The picante de camerones is fantastic. Spicy and good. Love the quinoa cake stuffed with spinach and goat cheese that comes with it.

Sangria is always on point best I've ever had. The matador combo is the best. Three to four can eat from there.

Whole chicken is delicious. Bathe it in green sauce and order a pitcher of sangria, and you'll be happy.

I had an awesome experience at Pio Pio. The green sauce is so addicting and definitely makes the chicken. The yuca fries and avocado salad is a must!
Ellie ManduriaoMarch 17, 2013
Gotta get the chicken! Calamari frito is so good, and the arroz con mariscos is superb! Love their sweet plantain as well...
EM!February 5, 2015
Portions are amazing. But for this specific location, I would suggest coming with a group since there aren't that many corners for a dinner two privacy.

Lovely, beautiful, flavorful food. The fish dishes are delicious but I could've had the yucca ALL DAY.

Matador combo is the way to go for a family meal. Sangria is pretty good too.

Rotisserie chicken, green salsa, beans and rice, platanos and sangria! Order take out!

Never really had real Peruvian food but it taste like there's a lack of seasoning in their chow fun rice,their rotisserie chicken seems to be a favorite
KarenNovember 23, 2022
Cannot go wrong with any of the food here. The salchipapas seems so simple, but it's a favorite!
Jorge A. GuzmanApril 12, 2015
The matador combo is a must! Try the salchipapas with green sauce.
Eugene AbreuMay 13, 2010

When you order the shrimp cucuzoo if your a man w/ an appetite order a side of rice it's a small portion.

Worst experience at this place. Rice was over cooked. We were not asked if we needed more drinks. We order the chicken rotisserie which came with no fries or salad. Apparently they aren't included.
