Pio Pio

"I've been a loyal customer at Pio Pio for over 6 years, spending thousands on various occasions. Despite alerting the manager about an undercooked chicken in my recent order, accompanied by a photo and receipt, he declined to take any corrective action—no refund, no future discount. It's disheartening that this decision, aimed at saving $12, may cost the restaurant much more in future business. Beware before dining here. I will certainly be spreading the word to my network."

"The environment was clean, inviting, and the food was very flavorful. For the appetizer, I purchased a chicken empanada, and for the main course, chicken tacos with rice and beans. Service was quick. I received the appetizer first, and my first impression was that the crust of the empanada was oily and greasy. The same was true for the tacos; their shells were slightly oily. I recall tasting the cooking oil, which was not overpowering but still present. I was not pleased with this aspect, making the crust and shell the less favorable parts of my dining experience. On the other hand, once you get past these negatives, the chicken is well-seasoned and very tasty. I removed the taco shell, mixed the rice, beans, and chicken from the tacos with the green sauce, and had a delightful lunch. Overall, the chicken was divine. I would go back, but next time, I’ll try the chicken portions and avoid anything with a shell or crust."

"The beans were watery, had only one tiny piece of plantain as seasoning, the steak was flat and dry it comes with a disgusting sauce mainly vinegar & parsley. The waiter took my daughters plate without asking if she was finished, and mine also I wanted to finish my maduros. I left 20% tip because this review will make them do better."
