Pio Pio 2
Established in Rego Park in 1994, Pio Pio has since added eight other locations throughout New York City. This family-owned and operated Peruvian restaurant specializes in pollo a la brasa, or rotisserie chicken. Their aji verde sauce — a spicy green sauce typically made of cilantro, jalapeños, mayonnaise, and parmesan — gives a kick to an already juicy, flavorful chicken.
The Matador Combo, one of the most popular items on the menu, is a must-order if dining in a group. For $42, a table can receive a whole rotisserie chicken, yellow rice, red beans, tostones, salchipapas, and avocado salad. When dining at Pio Pio on a Wednesday, be ready to listen to music played live by Grupo Huayno, a Peruvian band that gained popularity for its Subway performances.
