"Enjoy family-style portions of perfectly seasoned rotisserie chicken at this popular Peruvian chain. Start with the ceviche -- zippy and fresh. Move on to the gigantic Jalea seafood platter—fried to crispy goodness. The main event here is the chicken which is served with classic Peruvian sides of rice and beans, fried yuca and salchipapas. Enjoy it with a strong Pisco Sour and douse everything in their addictive aji verde sauce — a mix of cilantro, jalapeno, lime, garlic and mayonnaise. The cavernous space with floor to ceiling windows is great for large groups and watching the local nightlife. The owner of Pio Pio is steadily building an empire along this stretch of Northern Boulevard with Juanitas, Amaru Pisco Bar and Pio To Go." - Diane Shaw

"Pio Pio serves some of our favorite roast chicken in the entire city. For $10, you get half a juicy rotisserie chicken and a side of slightly spicy Peruvian green sauce. You’ll notice that there’s a lot of literature here about someone named Mama Juanita - the person who the chicken is named after. Try her namesake bird, and you’ll understand why we often list her as our emergency contact." - Hannah Albertine

@infatuation

"Along with Julia Child and The Colonel, there aren’t many people in the world of chicken that we’d like to meet as much as Mama Juanita, whose name is all over the Pio Pio menu. Her namesake chicken, which is the focus at all eight locations, is better than almost any rotisserie-style bird in the city. For $10, you get a half chicken with juicy meat and a side of spicy Peruvian green sauce that balances out the sweetness of the skin. In case you want to go down the very wise path of chasing chicken with more chicken, you should get the empanadas de pollo, which are stuffed with a shredded version of Mama Juanita’s chicken." - Matt Tervooren

Looking for the ultimate Peruvian rotisserie chicken experience? Look no further! This spot is a gem for chicken lovers, offering a twist on the classic dish that will exceed your expectations. Even if you're used to having rotisserie chicken at home, the flavor and quality here will blow you away. Personally, I'm not one to usually order chicken when dining out, but I couldn't resist, and wow, it was hands down the best chicken I've ever tasted. And the ceviche micro? Absolutely delightful! Now, onto the service. While the waitstaff presence is abundant, there's room for improvement in their attentiveness. But fear not, the lively atmosphere with live music adds to the fun, although it can get a tad loud if you're seated too close to the band. Pro tip: If you're aiming for a cozy conversation, opt for a table farther away from the music. Just a heads up, this place tends to cater to larger groups, so it's wise to make reservations in advance. Get ready to indulge in fantastic food and vibrant ambiance!

Food was excellent. Their service was a little off. Had to repeat order a few times before the server understood what we wanted. Atmosphere was great, not very popular on a Tuesday night. There wasn’t a wait for a table.

This place is probably one of the best if not the best for Peruvian food! I have been coming here for many many years and I’ll say that the food is extremely consistent. We always get the matador which is a lot of food but for the price and what you get from they one order, it’s well worth it! Overall value is amazing. The ambience is nice but I wouldn’t say it’s romantic or intimate! Love this restaurant

Not for Mio highly over-rated short: cold service, cold food, hot prices long: I was asking around for recommendations for a Hispanic restaurant to take my family members for a birthday lunch. This place was highly recommended by a coworker. The location itself is a massive, wide, open space, which seems great for events. It was after the second visit that I realized it actually looks like a car dealership went out of business, paint the walls, add tables and chairs, and overall, a smart conversion if that's the case. The second thing I noticed is how little the servers give a sh1t. They do the bare minimum. First visit: The first time, yes, there, unfortunately, was a second time. We had the following: camarones cuzco; ceviche; and el matador. My mother was very unsatisfied with the ceviche; the camarones cuzco would have been okay at a much lower price it was substandard and cold; matador was visually impressive the size of it but it's definitely quantity over quality. The second time, I was invited by a group of coworkers. It was a surprise. I enjoyed their company. The waiter didn't even leave a menu for her. I had to walk back to the entrance to get it myself. I had the jalea, a very dry, unflavorful dish that looked like food scraps. I asked the waiter for sauce because it was so dry and he was adamant that they didn't have any sauce, even though later on the party next to our table was brought a container with sauce. My coworker got the camarones cuzco, same as the first time. Our friend got the filet mignon dish which consisted mainly of fries. I don't like posting negative reviews so I didn't post it after the first visit. I'm doing this more for me to remind me to be firm and decline any future invitations to this place. One positive: the sangria tastes great.

This is what happened when the owners are away. We ordered dinner from the Northern Boulevard location and the French fries were burned and soaked in oil. Possibly they collected all unsold French fries and send it to us. It’s a real joke and sad at the same time as we considered Pio Pio as one of the best rotisserie chicken places in Queens. Now, we believe those days are gone.

This restaurant has several different locations. I went to the Jackson Heights location. There was no parking available there.. We were however seated 🪑 right away. The restaurant is big and spacious and the staff were friendly.

Outstanding!! Flavorful & juicy chicken, Chaufa was perfect and the Ceviche Mixto was on point. Didn't get too many pics because we were hungry and the meal was satisfying. Please stop by.

Amazing food! I recommend getting the * Jaunitas chicken * Lomo saltado * Sangrias

A brutally honest review from a Peruvian... Honestly after today, no longer a fan. They have gone downhill since they've franchised all over. Food isn't made to order anymore so it doesn't come out as fresh. I was wondering why the food came out extremely fast, (5 min after appetizers), and that's because it appears it's all pre-made. Yuca frita - too big in size, very dry, not crispy and not hot. Causa - the avocado inside was oxidated (dark). Matador Combo - Juanita's chicken was solid in taste but lacked juiciness from what I remembered. Also kinda chewy in texture. Tostones were hard and too thick in width, dry. Salchipapas were ok. Rice and beans were 'meh' in flavor. Salad was drowned in dressing. For the price, you might as well go to a fine dining restaurant. (They've increased tremendously). This place is good for people that wanna give Peruvian food a try. As for myself, might as well call it Peruvian McDonalds. Reason for the two stars is because the sangria is unbeatable.

My friend and her family have been going here for years. I loved the empanada de pollo because it was very flakey and fresh! The sangria was probably the best I ever had to be honest. The arroz chaufa can be made with chicken or with chicken and shrimp. I opted for chicken only. The food is big portions so be prepared to have leftovers or share. The space a very large and the bathrooms are very clean. The music is a nice volume and they have nice tunes. The service is excellent! Highly recommend. It is a bit on the pricy side, but it is 100% worth it.

Im a pío pío addict. I love it! I can't get enough of the salsa verde and the saffron rice, and the beans, and the chicken and the lomo saltado and the lucuma ice cream. I just love it all.

I have been coming here for many years and have had mixed experiences. Their food has been good at times and a miss at others. My go to would usually be their whole chicken with order of maduros, salad and a glass of sangria. My aunt threw her husbands 50 birthday party in their private room and it was actually a great experience. The private room has its own bathroom which is great and convenient. The party room is very spacious and could easily hold 50 people or more. The service was great that night and the food was absolutely delicious. The jalea was well cooked and seasoned. Their whole chicken was juicy, their rice and beans were delicious and their salad was fresh. The only complaint I have is their sangria used to be much better; it was extremely sweet and very expensive for the jar.

Jasleen K.

Yelp
The food was pretty good. I highly highly recommend the ceviche, which was absolutely my favorite piece as well as the dish in the middle, which I forget the name but the chicken was absolutely so tender. Everyone loves this place and I remember growing up everyone wanted to go here for a celebration. I haven't been here in years, but decided to give it a go again. Definitely recommend. I know they're known for their fish, as well as that middle plate that I mentioned. People love coming here to celebrate. I also got the Tres leches cake but that I did not like. It felt like it was left in an open refrigerator. It tasted very stale.

Pio Pio was unfortunately not as good as I last remembered. The place was huge, with a lovely family ambiance to it on a weekend night. Pio Pio is big on celebrations, as I heard 4 birthday cheers that night. I shared the Matador Combo ($60), which was recommended for 4 people. Everything was honestly mediocre. Hot dogs and french fries were an odd combination and they were equally dry and bland. The same goes for the tostones, or fried plantains. There wasn't enough liquid to balance this meal out. The salad somewhat helped, but it's just salad. Juanita's Chicken is supposedly the highlight of this Combo, but it really wasn't. The chicken tasted good at first, but it's nothing special and it got salty. The combo felt like a ripoff for what it was. The workers also brought out cake to celebrate a special occasion, but that cake was a surprise $8 charge. There are plenty of restaurants that would do this on the house. The ambiance was beautiful and spacious, but the food was so very skippable.

Hey food lovers, let's talk about Pio Pio, the Peruvian food hotspot that's absolutely smashing it. Walking in, you'll notice the super chill ambiance that makes you feel right at home. It's got that perfect balance of laid-back and trendy vibes. But the real star here? The food, hands down. It's like a flavor party in your mouth! Every dish is a home run, bringing those authentic Peruvian tastes to life in the best way possible. And let's not forget the service. It's friendly and efficient, making the whole dining experience even better. In short, Pio Pio is kicking goals and taking names. With their delicious food, great service, and cool ambiance, they've nailed a full 10/10 score from me. If you haven't checked it out yet, you're seriously missing out. So get in there and let your tastebuds have some fun!

It's always a great meal here that is inexpensive and very comforting. The chicken is the only thing you should eat here. It's cooked well and seasoned well.

The food was good but not "wow" The service was okay but not " wow". Came here for the first time and I have to say the sangria was delicious. The food however came out so quickly it seemed like it was pre cooked and not made fresh to order. The maduros were dry and hard. The rice was good but not hot enough. The chicken was yummy and juicy. The avocado and tomatoes were good. The service was mediocre. I think the prices are ridiculous. 50$ for a pitcher of sangria? Probably not coming back to this place.

Loved it Every which way‼ Great place, very good food‼ Very clean‼ Friendly service by Miguel/Michael. Beautiful ambiance. A bit pricey, but worth every bite. Thoroughly enjoyed lunch on my day off...

Amazing food ! The service was on point and fast our server paid attention to us loved that, love how clean and spacious the restaurant was. Also the area they are located was jumping music all up and down the strip many different spots I really enjoyed the area and restaurant but whatever you do DONT PARK IN THE RITE AID PARKING LOT YOU WILL GET TOWED

I have always and will always have a special place in my heart for Pio pio. I absolutely love the chicken. One of the best ones. However, the Jalea has changed A LOT. I am not sure who is cooking it now but it needs to stop!! The prices have obviously increased but it's still so inexpensive for what other restaurants are charging. They have a private room downstairs for private parties. They have a band on Wednesdays. They have an outside section. It's spacious and the service is fast. I did a tik tok & IG video review: @jessiica0204 ! I do a lot of travel and food related content. Don't forget to follow me.

Been here numerous times. Always delicious! They are very attentive and accommodating. We ordered empanadas and salchi papa to start. So good! We split the rotisserie chicken & lomo salta do for lunch. Such big portions & delicious. I love their salad! Can't wait to go back.

Great prices! Amazing food, never even needed to add salt to my ceviche! Plantains are 10/10, rice is rice & their chicken...it's honestly too bad you can't eat the bones too! Let me not even get started on their delicious garlic spicy green sauce! Delicious!

A knock your socks off rock your socks off Peruvian chicken place. All Peruvian chicken places are great. My home city has one to die for. Technically, the Peruvian chicken itself at Pio Pio 2 is par for the course. What sends Pio Pio 2 to the stratosphere is their cilantro sauce. Everyone in South America does a cilantro sauce. No one else's cilantro sauce comes anywhere close to the quality of Pio Pio's. You could put Pio Pio's cilantro sauce on a running shoe, and the running shoe would taste good. What it does to a Peruvian chicken is off the charts. Add to this a killer garlic sauce for their fried yucca. Their avocado salad with shrimp and bean pate is to die for. Looking at the other tables, the seafood combos looked like they were to die for. And the drinks are potent potent potent. Altogether a fine place. They book a fine traditional Peruvian band to play on some nights. What's not to like?

Laura P.

Yelp
My friend had her 49th birthday here! The restaurant was super fun and I will definitely be back. The salad to start was really good. The hot dogs were delicious and the chicken was so moist, it makes me want to try other things on their menu. The drinks were also made very well. I did think the sangria was too sweet.

Enrique S.

Yelp
This has to be one of my favorite restaurants in the area. Great ceviche, jalea, roasted chicken. My only complaint is the music plays too loud, but everybody else seems happy with it. The service is top notch and quality.

I cannot say enough things about this place. The food is always always always on point. I recently had my bridal shower there in their party room on the first level. It was spacious and clean. Bright! The staff were attentive. The guests loved the food. The DJ was popping. It was more than I could have ever imagined.

Virginia T.

Yelp
We always pop in here when in the area. Large, spacious and tasty. We arrived Saturday evening around 7:30 and were pleasantly surprised to only wait about 5 minutes for our party of 7. We ordered two Matador Combos. Each combo includes a whole roasted chicken, salchipapas (fries and sliced hot dogs-sounds odd but oh-so yummy!) plantains (either tostones or maduros), delicious abundant salad and rice and beans. They aren't known for their rice and beans but all else is amazing! Best chicken around and the green sauce is one of a kind! Sangria and chicha moradas are a must!

Ryan R.

Yelp
The food here is so good but the service is so slow. This place is huge so it's great for big parties. The portions are big and reasonably priced. The menu is simple with combos and some alternate options. My family of 8 usually gets the matador combo and the jalea with a couple pitchers of sangria to wash it all down. They also have a patio area that's beautiful. I took off a star because even though the food is delicious, I often felt like I had to fight for the attention of the waitstaff. They would often forget about things I'd ask for so I'd have to ask again and again. Bring your patience!

Katherine D.

Yelp
I came here to have dinner with my parents. We got the family style matador combo. There was a lot of food. The rice and beans were good the chicken is always amazing. The tostones didn't taste right they felt very thick and dry and the avocado salad which I normally love was chopped up so small that it was hard to pick up with the fork. The other sides were good though. We got the salchipapas and it was very fresh. The staff was helpful and didn't mind that i had ordered before the rest of my party showed up. Which was very nice since I didn't want them to wait more time for the food to show up after they have sat down.

We back recently and the restaurants on Northern Blvd. In Jackson Heights Queens. It was just as lively and good as years past. The food was fresh and sangria tasty. Recommend

Pio Pio, where do I begin. The first Pio Pio is located on Woodhaven blvd. It has about 4 tables, I've been going there since he opened. I would eat there about 3 or 4 times a week. The chicken is so moist and cooked thoroughly, we always got the matador combo, it's a whole chicken, with Rice and beans, sache papa's, Maduro, and allvacado salad. You will definitely leave dull. They have a great sangria, as well as beer and cocktails. I've been to every location, bothe in queens and the one in the bronx. The quality, and taste of food is the same in all locations. I crave it feom time to time, gotta have it and the mustard sauce is amazing with the chicken. We even take out catered orders for party's. I've been a customer of Pio Pio for about 30yrs now. And it never disappointed. Highly reccomend

All the plates are delicious. The service was on point. The ambiance was fancy. They party room was so spacious and we ordered several dishes. Non disappointed us.

Totally raw fish in the ceviche. It looked like it was marinated for maybe 15 minutes before it was served. Opaque on the very outside it was visibly raw throughout and super fishy. Dangerous!

Merci M.

Yelp
The garlic shrimp was great. The ambiance was nice for a quick date but the service a lacking a bit, especially since the plates are a hit over priced. My sister and I decided to share the plates and were given a small amount of rice. The quantity and quality, did not match the cost. We weren't even given separate serving plates until I asked. The sangria was strong and the actual entre was good enough to merit 3 stars. I've been to other pio pio and had a great time. I'll visit other locations next time.

Arthur S.

Yelp
Called ahead for reservations but was told they don't really take them. However, they asked for my name and indicated they would help get us a table when we showed up as it was Mother's Day and we had a fairly large group of 6 people. Once we showed up i found the gentleman I spoke to and he indeed helped put us at the front of a very big line and got us a table in a few minutes. We had a great lunch, all the food and service was great. Chicken was juicy and all of the sides and salads were delicious. We have been many times over the years and highly recommend and will be back.

What a great Peruvian restaurant... all dishes we ordered were fantastic! Do yourself a favor and go.

Pio pio did not disappoint the food was really good. I truly enjoyed the service and how everyone was quick and prompt. So polite and very giving when asking for anything. The ambiance is loud so expect that it's just a very loud place. I wish it was a little quieter you have to speak loudly to hear the other person I didn't give it 5 stars because the rice was undercooked a lot. But the flavors were good ! The rotisserie chicken the salad the red beans and sangrias did not disappoint. That's usually their staple is the chicken ! Enjoy check out the video for the spread of what we had

If you enjoy a Peruvian food with an American twist, then definitely visit Pio Pio. If you prefer authentic Peruvian food, head elsewhere. Although the food was good, it's not what I was expecting. The decor is nice and service was on point. Unfortunately, the only thing that ruined my experience is that they had a long line of people waiting so the door was left open for an extended period of time which created a cold draft. Everyone put on their coat to try to keep warm but still.

Farah F.

Don't get the tostones to go. We got 2 orders and once we got home they were so hard they weren't edible. The Matador combo we got was really good which is why I'm giving it 3 stars.

You can literally never go wrong with Pio Pio. The food is delicious and very reasonably priced. Their sangria is nice and strong. Their "new" location is large and even has a small amount of outdoor seating. The only issue is parking which is not easy any day or time.

Xeon Dynasty A.

Yelp
The food was ok. But it was pricey as you see in the picture all that was $158. We got a pitcher of sangria and it was just ice. On my opinion I don't recommend to eat there. Plus I placed an order of fries to go and I soon I placed the order the fries were next to me lol, I can say they gave the fries in 1 or 2 mint. But sadly when I got home the fries were black, uncooked, very disappointed. You can see clearly in the picture.

Lily F.

Yelp
I love love love Pio Pio. Every location that I've been to has not failed to satisfy my Peruvian food craving. The ceviche was amazing, the empanadas were so good, the fried calamari was good as well. The lomo Saltado was perfect, delicious, and just amazing. The rotisserie chicken was also really good. You can't go wrong with yummy food. The service wasn't so great though, it was very hard to get the waiter's attention.

Tae S.

Yelp
This place is great for groups and families. You can order a big chicken meal and share everything. This feeds the family sir friend group for a reasonable price. The lomo saltado was seasoned well and the fries crispy. The avocado salad had light dressing. My friends enjoyed the kitchen. The beans had a nice flavor not spicy. All in all a good mea and good time.

Received food cold, French fries soggy. As for service we waited for 20 minutes after being seated for someone to come over. I asked the busboy if he could get the waitstaff. The bathrooms are disgusting I remember when this place was clean and restaurant was neat. I don't know what happened in the last year but it's not what it use to be. I saw the manager and told him he chuckled like I was joking. Never bringing my family back. Good luck I hope management reads this and responds which I doubt just like our server.

Most of us know Pio Pio but I had never been to this location in Jackson Heights. It was huge! It allowed for real distancing. We ordered some classic things (avocado salad, lomo saltado, and ceviche). We were genuinely surprised how delicious all the dishes were. I feel like they put magic dressing into the salad leaves. Although we only ordered three dishes (one entree), they were very filling for three.

Great food but horrible service. We sat down and waited 15-20 for the waiter just for our drinks and another 10 minutes to take our food. Wasn't busy so I don't know if they were short staff

Pio Pio in Queens one of the first one Peruvian Roasted Chicken Peruvian Style conquered in NYC. The owner brings the Peruvian taste to the Spanish and American people bringing one of the fast food Peruvian used to eat instead of Mc Donald burger.

Staff don't acknowledge or greet u. Waited 25 minutes and server never returned to table to take order. Got up and left. Staff didn't even ask if there was a problem as we walked out. First time I ever walked out of a restaurant after being seated.

You can't go wrong with Pio Pio, they have about three locations in the city and a few in Queens. The food is consistent. I ordered the shrimp with yellow rice, avocado slices, sweet plantains, baked chicken and white sangria. The food was very flavorful and well seasoned, you can taste the saffron, fresh garlic and herbs. The secret is definitely in the sauce! The chicken is served with an amazing green Peruvian sauce that is finger-licking good.

I came here to celebrate my bestfriends 30th bday on a Friday night & it went great! Their hostess was very understanding with our time changes and we had a great time. The restaurant wasn't packed that night and their customer service was great! The food tasted soo good and their sangria was a hit! Even their live mariachi and music was fun to jam out to. Even though this location doesn't serve steak with basil pasta (my fav meal) & they could have put more French fries inside their lomo dish I would definitely come here again.
