The picture does not do Pio Chicken justice.
I’m not a food blogger or critic, but I just had to post something about Pio Pio.
specializing in pollos a la brasa (rotisserie chicken), pio pio is new york city’s premier peruvian restaurant group.
well-known to new yorkers and countless visitors, pio pio has honed its culinary skills since 1994 when its first restaurant in rego park, queens was opened.
Pio Pio may look like one of those swanky NYC restaurants that need a reservation, but it is not. One look at the menu and it screams comfort food. This isn’t a bad thing, as this limited selection was probably created to say “Hey, you came here to try out our kickass chicken”. And that indeed we did.
We ordered their signature chicken ($16!), and paired it with a serving of brown rice and beans, some fried bananas, and thinly sliced avocado on the side.
