Laura BedrossianDecember 6, 2015If Peruvian decor traditionally makes you feel as though you're in a tinder box then Pio Pio NAILED it.
Amruta BugeJuly 31, 2015Great for large groups. Food and service was excellent and the sangria is yummy 🍷
Nicolette RomeroNovember 2, 2014The Matador combo is a must! Great to share and you'll leave stuffed!- 陳雄暉 弟兄March 6, 2015Roasted chicken meat falls off the bones like it's supposed to. Seafood paella is sumptuously delicious.
Petar IvanovApril 15, 2017Pros: Good sangria, friendly place good for families and groups of friends. Cons: It looks like it's made in a basement, kinda dark and not really comfortable. Not much choice on the menu either.
Tasted ceviche for the first time... simply delicious... slurp slurp. Love the corvina fish ;) my new fav....
The interior is pleasant and the food very well prepared. The ceviche is a good choice.
Jennifer Padilla-HowardJanuary 30, 2013I love the green sauce and the white sangria. Love the ambiance of the hells Kitchen Pio Pio.
Shirin HNovember 18, 2012Get the matador combo and replace the salchipapa (fries and "beef sausage" i.e. fried hotdog) with the sweet plantains.
jordan yuenSeptember 8, 2016The Matador Combo was delish! Had a group of 3 and still couldn't finish it all.
Courtney LynchFebruary 11, 2018The atmosphere is nice, but the food has no flavor! The fish, rice, and sauce tasted the same (like air) for both of our dishes. I mentioned this to the waiter & it seems the chef is afraid of flavor
Tipu SwaranNovember 19, 2013Refreshing Sangria + Awesome seabass (Mero Norteno).. highly recommended
Jannica RobertsonApril 18, 2012Get the Matador combo! Chicken Pio is great but, can't beat the French fries topped with hot dogs!
Karthik BalasubramanianJanuary 20, 2014Huge portions, great food! Don't forget to try the tres leches!
Mary Jeneverre SchultzMarch 20, 2016Make reservations because the restaurant packs even during week days.
Ingrid ForeroAugust 26, 2010Best chicken and ceviche!!! Beautiful place...and sangria is awesome!!! My boyfriend and I are addicted to this place, we love it....
My wife and I come here on weekly basis and order the same things--Lomo Saltado and Arroz con Mariscos.
Best lunch special in the 'hood! Quarter chicken plus two sides and a drink for $10! Dios mio!
Matador combo...hands down...best deal. Share with 1 (maybe 2?) other people. Get the sangria... it's pricey but strong and good!
