“Food was really tasty although presentation in the warming area was not the best. They offered three different types of rice but the person behind the counter didn't have a good understanding of the differences to describe them. Definitely a take out place, and it was within walking distance to a hotel I was staying in.“
“I loooove the food here! But why take away the option to order online for pick up? Time is of the essence and plus …. peopling… no thank you! I’d like to order online, leave a tip online, arrive—grab my lunch and go! Ive stopped going as much because I hate the fact that I have to wait in line or order over the phone when they’re busy and don’t seem interested in the phone call either.“
“Had a super tasty peru melt with sweet potato fries and a large side of yellow sauce and it was all so dang good! I was also impressed by the side of spicy sauce they gave on the side. Food was fresh, hot, and delicious. The yellow sauce is also next level good.“
“I was truly impressed by the exceptional service I received at this establishment, with a rating of 10/5 for the level of attention and care provided. The food also lived up to my expectations, with each dish exhibiting excellent flavor and presentation.“
“I had the pleasure of dining at Pio Pio twice, and I must say they were truly delightful experiences. As a Peruvian myself, I was pleasantly surprised by how the food reminded me of my mother's home-cooked meals. The flavors were authentic and transported me back to my roots. What sets Pio Pio apart is their unwavering commitment to culinary excellence. They are constantly striving to improve their dishes, ensuring that each visit is a new and exciting experience. If you are in search of a restaurant that offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, paired with delectable food that pays homage to traditional Peruvian cuisine, then I highly recommend Pio Pio. You won't be disappointed!“
“Trouble communicating with the staff behind the counter so another guest in line helped me. Tried the fried trout $17.99, 1/2 chicken plate $14.99, yucca fries, fried rice, corn and onion in tomato salad. Everything was good except the yucca fries pick something else.“
“10/10 must try! My partner, his brother, and I all got the chicken, plantains, and fried yuca and it was amazing! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, the yuca was fried to perfection, and the plantains were perfectly sweet! The yellow sauce and salsa verde were the perfect complements to the dish and each had their own wonderful sweet or spicy balance to them! The atmosphere is authentic and while there’s very little seating the food is something you could take anywhere if your patient enough to wait before eating!Parking: Parking is shared with other businesses in the strip so availability depends on the time of day.Kid-friendliness: I believe I saw a portion on the menu for kids but the kids I saw there were happy to get the chicken and French fries.“
“I don’t know how this place doesn’t have a line out the door all the time. I’ve waited to write this review for a whole year to make sure we didn’t have a fluke experience, or it wasn’t just good because it was a new place.This is easily the best Peruvian chicken place in the DMV. My wife and I have tried probably 15+ places, and this place is the best. 1) it’s always extremely clean. 2) the (assumed) owner is super nice. It’s always the same older gentlemen at the register with a goatee. 3) the food is ALWAYS fresh. We’ve came early, late, in between lunch and dinner hours, it doesn’t matter. Our fries and plantains are always piping hot, and the plantains are always cooked PERFECTLY. The chicken is always moist and tender. The chicken also tastes different and better here - it is marketed as charcoal chicken, and you can taste that. It has that “summer bbq cooked on a charcoal Webber grill” taste, unlike some other places that taste like a gas grill.I personally don’t care for the Peruvian style sauces, but my wife loves them. They offer the 3 selections, a yellow, orange, and green, with no spice to pretty spicy.Highly recommend!“
“We used to frequent the Peruvian place at this same location and were super sad when they closed. When Tu chicken opened we decided to give it a chance and have come back again and again ever since! They always cook the yucca fresh to order so it's crispy and hot. The chicken js flavorful and moist and I think they have the best yellow sauce of all the Peruvian places around. We don't dine in, but the searing area is alclean and there's lots of booths available. They're fast and friendly every time we order!“
“The food was amazing!! Definitely on the pricier side, but it was perfect for a special occasion. We got the anticucho de carne and tallarines a la huancaina and they were both so delicious. Our server Lisette was so sweet, highly recommend!“
